I am so excited to be introducing the Positive Inkers Global Design Team! We have a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator from each of, Australia, the Netherlands, the USA, the UK – I am absolutely thrilled to have been chosen! Led by the lovely Sandy McCullough in Canada. Bringing you a blog hop full of crafty inspiration each month!
Our very first hop coincides with the start of our brand new July-December Mini catalogue. It launches on Tuesday! So exciting!! So of course, our theme for this month is all about giving you a sneak peek! It is gorgeous. Of course, I LOVE all that is Christmassy in it and in my opinion, anything from July forward is a good time to start making those hand made Christmas projects! No one wants any last minute stress. Crafting is therapy after all.
Just how cute is this self closing gift box? I was actually taught how to make this box at a team day a long time ago by my lovely upline Michelle. I do love it. It’s definitely a favourite. Such a good size to hold a gift.
These papers are beautiful, aren’t they? They are the Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Papers. They come in a pack of 12 double-sided sheets of 12″ x 12″ in Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White – Oh so Christmassy! That new ribbon is gorgeous!
The stamp set and Die Bundle is Wishes and Wonder. I absolutely love it! Especially this stitched scalloped tag. Watch out for lots more projects from me using the bundle. It’s a great all-rounder for Christmas.
I’ve chosen matching card and ink in Real Red ( I love how Stampin’ Up! make it easy for us – easy is what I need ) You can see here that by the box closes by itself and opens with just a little squeeze.
Have a go at making this fun, gift box. Here is a video tutorial for you. It really is an easy one to create!
