I returned from the Stampin' Up! Founder's Circle retreat on Sunday feeling inspired and refreshed. We were pampered with great food, time to relax and Stampin' Up! products and gifts. One of the gifts was this adorable Blossom Box, created with the Stampin' Up! Blossom Box Bigz L Die (123127) and a Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (113439). Imagine all the surprises you could tuck inside (little soaps, candies, jewelry, wrapped cookies). Closed, it measures approximately 3" in diameter and 1" high.
STAMPIN' PRETTY TIP: 2-sided Beau Chateau Designer Series Paper (122357) makes this box beautiful inside and out!
The purse charm above was a very special gift from Stampin' Up!. It's loaded with Simply Adorned Clear Crystals (121012), Pink Crystals (121013), Vanilla Pearls (121014) and Trinket Crowns (121891). The tiny teacup was representative of our tea shoppe theme and says "Founder's Circle, 2011" on the bottom. What a treasure!
FOLLOW MY LATEST FOUNDER'S CIRCLE NEWS! Have you seen the photos of my amazing narrows passage hike in Mount Zion Park with 11 other Stampin' Up! Demonstrators? Beauty and "boot camp" all rolled into one! Unforgettable! See the photo album.
SO jealous of the teacup charm! What a beautiful gift!

I had to hop in, Jan, and say I had the same kind of coin purse as a kid. Loved it. I’ll bet they are still around . . . Hugs, M
SUCH a cute box and bracelet!! I’m glad you had such a relaxing time, Mary!
This is absolutely gorgeous!
Oh my goodness! This is so adorable! Thanks for sharing!
Love it…this project reminds me of when I was a child. I had a red leather coin purse that was made very much like this and it was my favorite possession. I carried that coin purse until it was ragged. Thanks for the memory.
Hi Mary,
I soooooooooooo look forward to having my morning coffee with you each day up here in chilly Ontario.
You are so creative and the perfect start to every day !
Blessings

Isn’t this just the cutest idea and would make the best gift packaging even for a gift card. I thoroughly enjoyed your photo album of the hike. Fun by all! TFS
Ok! You’ve done me in! I now need this Blossom Box! I’ve certainly seen posts of this little cutie before, but your image of baby girl blue paper & the girly little jewelry just made me cave! Must put that on my Christmas list!
