One of the problems with the Mini Catalogues is that it's really easy to think certain products can only be useful in certain seasons. Take the Little Treat Box Dies for instance, you may thinks they're really for Halloween or Christmas treats, but they ca be so much more.

Today's treat package is a case in point. STONE WALL BACKDROP When I was thinking about making a Halloween treat package my options were ... VIEW POST
Here’s A Little Treat Sneak Peek
Every now and then I want to make up a stack of treat packages. It may be for a birthday, Thanksgiving, Halloween, Christmas, or just because. In the past I've tended to leave them until the last minute, mostly because I'm worried they'd get damaged. But also because storing them takes up space. Stampin' Up! obviously heard about my dilemma and came up with a brilliant solution, the Little Treat Box. This is a small box that can be die-cut and decorated ahead of time and stored flat. ...
