Hidden Christmas Traditions Punch Box. For me, the Christmas Traditions Punch Box is one of the hidden gems in the Autumn/Winter Catalogue. It is on pages 2 and 3, but is not very obvious. But I can tell you that it is so cute. I love these punch boxes (there is one in the Annual Catalogue too). They come with stamps, ink, a block and the cutest of punches.

I have teamed today’s projects with the Kraft Pillow Boxes in the Annual Catalogue. Add some ribbon, some punched or die cut circles and your stamped sentiment for the cutest tree or table gift. Don’t you just love how the ribbon, ink and card work so well together? Stampin’ Up! are just so good at colour coordination.

The Real Red version used Stampin’ Write Markers to ink up the stamp. These are a great way to add more than one colour to your stamps. They are particularly good when used on red rubber stamps. If you watch the video you will see how to prepare photopolymer stamps so you can use markers on them too. Just remember to use the side of the brush tip, not the point, when you add the ink.

The Merry Merlot and Copper version has the amazing reversible ribbon on it. This is just so pretty and elegant, a great touch for all your Christmas crafting and gift giving needs. I am now imaging a Christmas tree with lots of gifts wrapped in this ribbon.

I think my next project will have to be a card or a tag using the Punch Box again. Maybe I will have to do both.
