Stampin’ Up! Co-ordinated Gift Packaging…

Hey everyone, I hope that you all had a lovely Christmas. I have been dying to share this project with you, my special co-ordinated gift packaging, but I decided to wait until after the big day, just on the off chance that the recipient were ever to visit my social media channels!

Paper Trimmer. I first saw this type of box at the Stampin’ Up! On Stage event in Dortmund in 2019 and as soon as I held it I loved it, it is just so strong and tactile thanks to the triangular shape . First off, cut the Blackberry Bliss cardstock to 10cm x 21cm and score it on the […]
