Welcome to the Creativity Abounds Monthly Blog Hop! You may be starting here or have come from someone else’s blog – either way there is a list at the end of this post to help you move around all the different blogs and get many amazing ideas. We all have our country listed – so if you are looking for a demonstrator in your country, these demonstrators would love to look after you with your Stampin’ Up!® shopping or if you would like to join our Stampin’ Up!® teams.
Using Stampin’ Up’s Bright Baubles Bundle, I made Christmas Gift Tags and a sweet box to gift them in. Here’s a recording of a Live video showing how to make the tags and box. Please subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re there. I do live videos on both Facebook and YouTube with my sweet husband, Steve, every Tuesday at 7pm CT.
This box is the perfect size for these tags, 3″ x 3″ cards, fudge and more!
Box Lid 4-7/8″ x 4-7/8″ scored at 3/4″ on all four sides. Metric- 12.4 cm x 12.4cm scored at 2cm on all four sides.
Box Base 5-3/4″ x 5-3/4″ scored at 1-1/4″ on all four sides. Metric- 14.5com x 14.5cm scored at 3.2 cm on all four sides.

I’ve been a demo since 2003 and this was the first year I earned the Stampin’ Up Incentive Trip. I could not have been any more thrilled! Thank you so much to everyone who helped me earn it! I totally love and appreciate you! Two weeks later I received an email telling me the trip had been cancelled due to Covid. Stampin’ Up has demos from all over the world that wouldn’t have been able to attend. Many of us were very sad, as you can imagine. Steve and I will be doing something special with the cash pay out I’ll receive. I will still get some fun “pillow gifts” next May that I’ll be excited to show you as soon as I get them. 🙂 Below is a picture of me just moments after finding out I had earned the trip. My sweet friend and team mate, Barb, arrived at my door with balloons, telling me she just promoted to Silver Elite. That gave me the rest of the points I needed to earn the trip.
I made this Congratulations card for a friend who just became a Grandma for the first time. How exciting! Here’s a Live Video showing all the details about how we put this card together as a group. Sometimes it’s fun to put a card together with ideas from several people. Steve had the idea to pin the teddy bear up by one ear and that makes my heart happy.
Please enjoy seeing the great projects from other Trip Achievers below.

Doesn’t every kid dream of waking up on Christmas morning to find a sweet pet under their Christmas tree? The kids are probably hoping for a kitty or a puppy. The parents are hoping a goldfish will suffice. My Christmas card is showing all the possibilities. I think we can all agree that no one is dreaming of a mouse under their tree. 🙂
The background paper is Peaceful Place. The tree is from Whimsical Trees. The animals were all fussy cut from the Sweet Stockings Designer Series Paper (DSP).
