StampWithDee: Day Five

Oh My Gosh, the hits just keep on rolling! Barbara designed this darling gift box for you, and I love it! I am a little partial to this designer paper, but any sturdy but not too heavy DSP will do the job nicely. Then bling it up with your ribbon and metallic elements and you will be the star of your holiday, with the prettiest gifts under the tree!

I am off to Salt Lake City with Barbara this week, so if there is anything you ever wanted to know about the Stampin' Up! home office, now is the time to ask! And next week I will have a pile of swap cards to share with you so come back here or come on over to see all the goodies!

Enjoy the details of how to assemble this cute box and if you want any of the specific products, just click on the picture and you will jump right to my online store. OR you can just email me and I will be happy to help you order.

Happy Stampin,
Dee Tollaksen
