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?

Timeless Planner
Well yesterday’s forecast snow arrived and is lying thick on the ground. I thought it would have stopped by now but as I look outside I can see it’s started up again. I have to admit it’s very pretty, and eerily quiet as the snow seems to muffle every sound. Perhaps it’s the perfect day to stay in and get organised.

Timeless Tidings Project Kit
As a card designer I rarely (if ever) make up whole card kits according to the instructions. I'm so busy making my own designs that copying someone else's projects just doesn't fit into my day. Plus I've never been one to send out multiples of the same design. However, that doesn't mean I never buy card kits. On the contrary, I love card kits. I take the pieces and make new designs, and boy did I have fun with the Timeless Tidings Project Kit from the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday ... VIEW POST
