Artisan Punch | The Maui Stamper

You just have to listen to him say “Ho ho ho” to know he’s the kind of guy who would wear a big shiny belt buckle:

We sparkled up the Bag-in-a-box with some silver Glimmer paper at ACCE. That stuff is seriously awesome, although when you cut it sometimes little bits of blingy-ness come loose and fly around the craft room. So far we haven’t had any Glitter Issues, because I have been vigilant with the stick-vac. One of these days I know I’m gonna push it too far and there will be a meeting of the minds 🙂

We had a few crafters who were unable to attend at the last minute, and hopefully they’ll be able to assemble their packets based on our photos. There’s a tutorial HERE that will help too. You could adapt the dimensions to create different size packages. The key is the glimmer paper!

I made a couple of these in different papers from the Season of Style 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper pack. This one totally cracked me up when I finished it because it looks just like pajamas to me. Santa must have a velvet dressing gown to go with these!

One of my favorite TOTALLY new products in our 2013-2014 Annual Catalog is the Tag a Box Gift Box bundle on page 158. Yes. Stop reading and go look. It’s that awesome!

You can buy the boxes on their own (and they are really cool) or you can buy them as a bundle with tags, twine, clothespins and adhesive to make your gift giving personal – without perspiration! Yeah, it’s NO SWEAT 🙂

(Thank goodness it was time for a photo…that was going downhill much too quickly!)

Everything you see was included in the bundle except for the Label Love image, the button and the Tangerine Tango card stock used for the belly band. LOVE THOSE CLOTHESPINS!!! I will be hoarding them and yes you will see them again!! Oh, and those are my sparkly shreddies inside the box, too 🙂

There are loads of options to personalize your packages – each bundle includes 8 boxes and the fixin’s for 10 tags. And there’s plenty of Baker’s twine (20 feet of each color!!) so you’ll see this again too.

I stamped the Label twice – once in Crushed Curry, once in Bermuda Bay. I trimmed the Bermuda Bay piece with my snips and adhered it to the Crushed Curry label with a few dabs of Tombo (the Wonder Adhesive). Faster and easier than markers!
