Gift a Little Joy
with the New Holiday Catalog


Hi Everyone,

I know everyone is getting their kids back to school and may not have given any thought to the holidays yet. My girls are older. Julianne, 20 just moved back home to work and save money to apply for graduate school next fall. Samantha, 17 is in her senior year this year. I'm heading back into my education job too. With all the business of fall, the holidays are going to creep up quickly. I think it's time to kick off "Gift a Little Joy" by gifting small things to friends and family. Even give a little joy to strangers. 

The Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog has many wonderful packaging ideas and products to make this easy. In our school district, we have a new superintendent starting, so I decided to "Gift a Little Joy" to welcome her. One of the new products are the Acetate Card Boxes. These boxes can hold up to 5 hand stamped cards with envelopes. I used a box to include 5 thank you cards as a welcome gift to our new superintendent.


I love the designer paper and ribbon with this project. The Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper is beautiful. I love how well the colors match perfectly with the Lemon Lime Twist Ombre Ribbon. The ribbon and Colorful Seasons stamp set are found in the annual catalog. It's amazing the reaction when you gift a little joy to someone. The superintendent really loved this gift and it also allowed us to get to know each other a little bit.
