On my Papercraft With Me Facebook page the other day I mentioned that even though I design almost all my own projects I still enjoy playing with project kits. One that I think offers great value for money is the Christmas Gifting Kit. At first glance it looks like a kit to make 9 jumbo gift tags. However also included in the box are 9 pockets that are perfectly sized for gift card holders (or Merci chocolate sticks). The question is, do you tie them together, or use them separately?

Nature’s Inspiration
Did you know I try to only use currently available products when making projects for my blog? That’s because I know how frustrating it is to fall in love with a product only to find I can’t actually get it for myself.

Not A Christmas Gift Tag
Did you know as well as their Annual and Mini (seasonal) catalogues Stampin Up! has ‘online only’ products too? For the past year or so we’ve been treated to the Kits Collection.

Christmas Gifting Kit
Have you checked out the Stampin’ Up! Kits Collection yet? These products are easy to miss as they’re not shown in the catalogues. Stampin’ Up! adds new kits on a regular basis and they’re only available while stocks last. That said, I know that they’ve restocked popular kits so you just might have to wait a bit for these to reappear. The nice thing about the kits is that unlike with the Paper Pumpkin subscription there’s no secrets. However when I received the Christmas Gifting Kit I was still ... VIEW POST
