Box on a Card

Is it a box on a card or a card with a mini box? Who cares, it's cute! This little project has been around the internet for awhile now. I will be teaching a Christmas version of it with the Beary Christmas paper and stamp collection. It comes with some funny little gift tags that fit perfectly inside the mini box.

You can finish this project in a variation of themes, not just Christmas. You can make them for Valentine's Day, Easter, and even makes a cool gift for someone's Birthday! At Thanksgiving I made a slightly different shape to accommodate the grateful wreath stamp. You can see that it is slightly more narrow and taller. The box is more centered, but is the same size.

These boxes contained a personal note to my family of reasons that I am thankful for them. Isn't it wonderful how one kind word can change your entire day!

Hope you are having a fun, crafty, Holiday season! Don't forget to go online to see the monthly specials. December is almost here, so that means the savings will change and the Stamp of the Month. Hint, hint....if you want the special in December, you'll want the November stamp at the $5 dollar price! Oh! and December is the last month to purchase from the Holiday Expressions Idea Book!

Hostess Rewards, Tagged with Love and Savings

This month with a $25 purchase of any stamps at retail price, you can choose one of the Hostess Rewards stamps for only $5. This includes the stamps shown in both the Annual Inspirations book and the Seasonal Expressions 2 book.

Did you ever need a quick tag to attach to a gift bag or present? The Tagged with Love stamp set is just the cutie for the job! Found on page 4 of the Seasonal Expression 2 book, this stamp has 3 different tag shapes and 6 fun sentiments to go with them. You could only tag someone you love before if you were a Hostess, so don't pass up this deal!
