The Best Things Come in Small Packages, Especially at Christmas

The Best Things Come in Small Packages, Especially at Christmas. I really do believe this. Think about it, jewellery comes in small parcels, and that is always a great gift.

All is Bright Suite Small Packages

These boxes came about because I had some sheets of the Designer Series Paper cut at 6×6″, just the right size for a 2×2″ box. I looked at the papers and the two I selected just called for foil for the base. Our Foil Card is not too expensive if you only use a smallish piece, so these are the perfect size, and if you need a box for something special, then why not use special products. I have kept the decoration fairly simple, because for these small packages, the paper and foil card does all the work!

And it is also confession time. As I was recording the video (on my still quite new camera – that’s my excuse) the battery ran out! Now, the new camera does at least make a noise when the battery runs out, but about a second before it shuts down. So, as a result, I had to splice two videos together, so in the middle of the video there is a bit of a hiccough – sorry for that!

Tomorrow is the launch of the new Autumn/Winter Catalogue, so is going to be a busy day in the Stampin’ Up! world. If you are in the UK and don’t already have a catalogue, please let me know. I will happily get one out to you, and all you need to do is fill in the Request Form on the Catalogue Page on this site.

I am being realistic and we have reset my Personal Bests for during this time in my life. But each week back at the gym is increasing those Personal Bests, which is great for the ego. It's all about being realistic.
