Christmas Punch - New Stampin Up Hostess Set

There are many perks to being a Stampin Up Demonstrator. A few of my favs are getting the catalogue before everyone else and getting to purchase a few selected items before the catalogue goes into effect. We were allowed to purchase one item from the Level 2 Hostess sets and one item from the Level 3 Hostess sets. Well ladies when you get your catalogue check out the sample on Page 14 (Canadian Catalogue - not sure what page it is on in the US).

Here is my version.




This is using the set Christmas Punch. It co-ordinates with quite a few of SU's punches. On the back of each tag there is a "To" and "From". I also put in silver cord for each of the tags. The samples in this year's Catalogue are inspiring. Each time I go through it I find something new.(Note - the ribbon and DSP are from last year's catty - I have to wait til July 1 to order the current stuff.)

What a great day I had. I got up early, exercised (yeh!), did my grocery shopping, mowed the lawn, fertilized the lawn, cleaned off the driveway, a friend came over for lunch (well - he was doing something for me in the bathroom - I bribed him with lunch) and got to sit down and be creative. I love being home.

It is suppose to rain all day tomorrow - here is hoping for some more inspiration.

Have a good one.

That's very pretty. I was anxious to open your post, I love getting catty sneak peeks. Very nice job. I need that punch.

This is a great gift set - who wouldn't want a box of handmade Christmas tags! Great idea!

Hi. I'm fairly new to all this and stumbled across your blog in my search for ideas. Do you know where I can find instructions on how to make the box? Thanks! Christie
