Pals August Blog Hop! Tools Too Cool for School

 

2014aughop_badge

Welcome to the Pals Blog Hop for August. This month we are showing off our favorite crafting tools – those Stampin’ Up! tools that we just can’t live without. We hope you enjoy our projects!

You may just be starting the blog hop or may have come from Liz Gautreaux at Kind Deeds Stampin, Stop #38 on the Pals Hop. If you get off track at any time, the full lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

Do these chic holiday gift boxes make your heart go pitter pat?  I have oodles of Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog sneak peeks (six, if you’re counting) to share with you, including new tools (the theme of today’s hop).  Sneak peek items will be available on August 28 when the Holiday Catalog begins.

STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:

  • SNEAK PEEK!  No doubt about it.  The Stampin’ Up! Gift Box Punch Board (135863) will be the “darling” of the holiday catalog.

  • It’s a snap!  The punch allows you to create different sizes and shapes of gift boxes. The box above began as a piece of 12 x 12 card stock and evolves in about 3 minutes into a 4 x 4 x 4 box.
  • SNEAK PEEK!  These happening little boxes were created with Under the Tree Designer Series Specialty Paper (135825).  The added heft makes it very “box-worthy!”

  • The second box measures 3.25 x 3.25 x 1.75.  Did I mention that there’s no need for adhesive with the boxes created using the  Stampin’ Up! Gift Box Punch Board?  Cool.
  • 3 MORE SNEAK PEEKS!  Add the perfect touch to your gifts with Cherry Cobbler 1″ Sheer Linen Ribbon (135839), Wonderful Wreath Framelits Dies (135851, “Joy” and “Noel”) and Frosted Sequins (135835, approx 450 snowflakes and silver sequins–YUM)!
  • ONE MORE PEEK!   The Cherry Cobbler and Garden Green tags were cropped with the Stampin’ Up! Note Tag Punch (135860).  I love the way the sentiments float off into space!

The next stop is Sue Becker at RnR Stamping, Stop #1 on the Pals Blog Hop! Thanks for visiting and  I hope to see you next month.

  5. Mary, you higlight the fantastic new tool beautifully! I am always hunting for a box and end up with something too big or too little. What a great way to get one that is just right!

  6. The boxes are to die for, Mary! And now that you have mentioned that the Under the Tree DSP has a bit more weight to it, I am adding it to my Wish List. Thanks for the peeks!
