I used the Kinda Eclectic stamp set and the new Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits Dies from Stampin’ Up! to create a little thank you gift. My card design was inspired by the Try Stampin’ on Tuesday #184 sketch. Our theme this week is “back to school.” I know this isn’t very school related but I thought a thank you card and gift card set would be perfect since I’m always in need of those for teachers/school bus drivers/teacher assistants!!

Be the Star Thank You – Stampin’ Up!
I needed a couple of quick thank you notes for the bus driver and teachers at my daughter’s summer school program so I pulled out the Be the Star stamp set and the Little Letters Thinlits Dies from Stampin’ Up! and I went to work!
Cupcake Party Fry Boxes – Stampin’ Up!
I got the new Fry Box Bigz L Die from Stampin’ Up! a few days ago so I thought that it was time to pull it out and play a little. I love the way that these little treat holders turned out and they are so easy to make!

I used the Spiral Flowers Originals die from Stampin’ Up! to create a little gift box to share with you today. I filled the box up with little chocolates, chocolate and flowers…everyones favorite gifts!!
Stampin’ Up! Leadership Photo Recap
I thought that I’d share photos of some of the projects that I saw at the Stampin’ Up! Leadership Conference with you today. I saw lots of inspiration and cool ideas! Here are just a few:
Gift Card Envelopes & Pop ‘n Cuts Gift Card Holders – Stampin’ Up!
I’m finally finishing up my holiday gift wrapping and I thought that I’d show you a few gift card holders that I made. I found a couple of fabulous tutorials, one by Kristin Chowanec and one by Cindy Elam, that I followed along with to make these. There are links to their tutorials below. I made a few modifications to the gift card holder made with the Envelope Punch Board (shown on the left in the photo) and I created a quick photo tutorial that you can see by clicking here.
Christmas Crackers and Gift Bags & Two New Stamp Sets From Stampin’ Up!
I’ve been busy wrapping gifts this week and I used a few Stampin’ Up! items for some quick gift wrap. I made Christmas Crackers with the Envelope Punch Board and I put some small items under the tree using some of the Tag a Bag Gift Bags. I created a quick tutorial for the Christmas Crackers and you can see that if you click here.

Simply Sketched Notecard Gift Pack – Stampin’ Up!
I made a little gift pack of 10 note cards using the Simply Sketched stamp set and the Envelope Punch Board from Stampin’ Up! I’ve put together a quick tutorial for creating the gift box and I put it on my Tutorial page. You can go directly to the tutorial by clicking here.
Color Me Christmas Crayon & Note Card Holder – Stampin’ Up!
Sandi MacIver and I both used the Color Me Christmas stamp set from Stampin’ Up! to create a project to share with you today. I made a little holder for a small box of crayons and 4 thank you note cards. I thought that these would make great stocking stuffers or little gifts for kids. I used the Envelope Punch Board to create the holder, then I stamped 4 note cards and envelopes and tucked those inside with a pack of crayons so that kids can color and complete their own thank you cards.
Two Very Merry Tags & A New Photopolymer Stamp Set From Stampin’ Up!
Happy Friday!! I created a wine tag and gift box to share with you today using the Very Merry Tags stamp set from Stampin’ Up! The wine tag and box were both quick and simple.
