Welcome to the Pals Too Cool for School 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 Jennifer Spiller at Westside Paper Creations, number 22 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 the projects.
I used one of my favorite Stampin’ Up! tools from the Holiday Catalog for my project–the Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies! Sneak peek products highlighted below are available when the Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog begins Sept. 1.
STAMPIN’ PRETTY TIPS:
- A pillow box is an adorable package for small gifts and stocking stuffers. It’s is quick and easy to DIY with the Stampin’ Up! Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies and a Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine.
- A Little Something stamp set coordinates with the Square Pillow Box Thinlits Dies. Buy them together as a bundle and save 15%!
- Love the sweet loops on the corners of my tag? They were a snap to produce with the Stampin’ Up! Curvy Corner Trio Punch. It also crops a double scallop corner and ribbon slot!
- The perfect touch! I added artful interest with Silver Cording Trim. It will also be available in Gold on Sept. 1.
- Pretty paper sets the stage. I used one of the fresh, fall patterns from Into the Woods Designer Series Paper for the pillow box.

Love it Mary! You rocked the pillow die and it’s one of my favorites in the Holiday Catty! Can’t wait to make my Halloween projects with it with my New Smyrna friends!
I wish I could be there, Patti C.! Enjoy. It’s a snap to make and a perfect marriage with the Tear & Tape Adhesive.
Love these enthusiastic comments about the new products. The Pillow Die is well worth having on your wish list, Amy, especially with holiday time approaching!
Great Pillow Box! Something else to add to my wish list. 🙂 And that DSP is over the moon! Love it!
The Curvy Corner Trio Punch is adorable and I love the 3 – 1 possibilities.
This little box is perfect. Love how you used the curvy trio punch.
Totally in love!
Lovely! I can’t wait to play with that DSP.
I was so trying not to purchase a lot of DSP from the Holiday catalog and now I see this beautiful pattern and I must have it! Can’t wait to play with the Pillow die simply adorable.
