Have you tried our Photopolymer stamps? Well if you haven’t yet, you should give them a try they are so easy to work with. They are really sticky, so just place them on your block and go. And Stampin’ Up! has stepped up our Photopolymer line by including them in the NEW 2014 Catalog. There are a lot of new sets too, yipppie!

And now not only can you find Another Thank You (136835) in the 2014 Catalog (available June 2nd), but they come in our Clear Mount Stamp Cases just like our other sets and have a wonderful new scent too – Chocolate! Gone is that chemical smell of Photopolymers. No airing out your sets – Yippie!

I showed you a gift that I gave for graduation the other day for one of the twins and today’s project is the gift set I made with Another Thank You for the other twin.

These note cards are also done in the NEW 2014-2016 In Colors that will be available on June 2nd. Along with a little note pad, pen, and clip using the yummy NEW Moonlight Designer Series Paper Stacks (133701).

Although the gifts used a different stamp set I did end up packaging them the same way.

Would you believe this plastic bag is from some Playtex bras that my Aunt bought while she was visiting! LOL. Shhhh……Don’t tell the boys! Recycle and Reuse – think out of the box and you’ll be amazed what you can come up with. These little plastic bags were perfect for this set of note cards and stationary items.

Posted on November 29, 2013 by Stamp with Jini

I like to make little treats for each of my family members for the holidays. So here is my latest “pillow gift” that I made for the family using the Color Me Christmas stamp set. Each Treat Box is filled with a chocolate for them to enjoy Christmas morning.

You can check out my earlier video Spring Sampler Treat Box Video Tutorial below to see how the basic box was made.

I used a piece of our 7/16″ Trim to create the band that keeps the box closed and hid the seam with my image.
