Gift Packaging Blog Hop
The Boughs of Holly Suite makes it easy to create beautiful gifts for your friends and family.
Welcome to our monthly Creativity Abounds Blog Hop! We are a group of Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own.
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.
Every month we each make a new tutorial and this month’s bundle of 13 exclusive tutorials focus on gift packaging. The tutorials are awesome and you won’t want to miss it. You can purchase this tutorial bundle here. You will see 13 projects on everyone’s blogs today, but the tutorial bundle is 13 different projects. Below is my project for the this month’s tutorial bundle.
