Hi dear Stampin Gals.

The other day I hopped over to the Hand Stamped Sentiments 'Anything but a card Christmas ornament Challenge #95. They encouraged us to make something other than a card... They challenged us to create an ornament or something using ornaments. With the inspiration they gave me on their site, it wasn't for me to get started at all. Wow, did they ever blow my stockings :) off! Please click on the HSS link above and see what the lovely ladies there created. The most beautiful hand crafted ornaments are on their blog this week.

Last night I wanted to create some cute thank you gifts for 4 of the sweetest ladies we see each week at a Bible study we go to. Our 2 girls always come along and enjoy the the love and care from 4 of the warmest woman that are there to take care of them. They are such a blessing to us. They do crafts with them, tell them stories, sing songs with them and they let them play in the gym. Now what more can I ask for. Our girls adore them and were so excited to give them their gifts. Inside I tucked some Clinique lipstick, mascara and some mints. Each little box was decorated individually. I only had time to create one card after that.. (I know, I started way to late) Anyway, even though I started late it wasn't a difficult job to do.


  • I used my Box #2 die from Stampin Up.(#114518 - $42.95) In a flash I rolled it through my Big Shot die cutting machine and foila, had the template ready to fold and glue together. After that it was easy peasy.. I added some Stampin Up Christmas ornament stickers and they were ready to go.

  • The other Stampin Up die that I used was the Perfect Pennants L Die (#123126 - 40.95). It was so fun to pull the 5/8 Real Red Satin ribbon (#117286 - $12.25) through those little openings and create a wreath to put on my card. I saw this idea somewhere on the blog and thought it was just genius.

Well. I hope you have a beautiful evening. Let's connect soon :)


Inky hugs, Pauline

  2. What fun little gift boxes, I'm sure your 'helpers' LOVED them! Your paper and ribbon choice is just beautiful, there's something about a handmade gift you can hand to someone and it's even better when they oooh and ahhh about the packaging first! ;) Thanks for playing along this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments!

  5. PRACHTIG PRACHTIG Pauline! What a wonderful gift set! Zo leuk gedaan met dat lint door de kerstkrans en wat een leuk effect geeft die "top note die"! Ik ben ook helemaal weg van de buttons en al de stempels die je hebt gebruikt, en ook van dat lint om de gift box! Is dat ook van Stampin' Up? En vieren jullie nog Sinterklaas in Canada?

    Hugs, Laura
