For the last couple of years, Stampin' Up! has offered a stamp set, stampin' spot, & coordinating punch set in a neat, little tin. This year they changed how they offered the punch set, so that left a lot of empty "neat, little tins" laying around the SU! warehouse, so they have offered them as an item we could purchase. (Although, at this time, I'm not sure if they are still available, let me know if you want me to check to see if they are still available.) So I purchased several tins, as any good stamper/crafter would because I might "NEED" them some day for a project. Well, guess what? "Some day" actually came, & I altered 2 tins for a friend at church who had just adopted 2 little ones from the Ukraine. I thought these boxes might come in handy for small memorabilia...or whatever she might want to use them for. So here they are:
Okay, okay, so I didn't really "alter" the box that much! But it made for a fun, personalized gift that the recipient really appreciated!! (I think she even squealed with delight when she opened them!) Have a fantastic day! Erin
PS...I received my new Stampin' Up! Idea Book & Catalog today along with my pre-order items! Woo-Hoo! It's going to be a late night looking & drooling through all the pages....again!
These turned out great! What a fun idea!!! Hope you've had some time to enjoy your new catalog!!! :)
