Nigezza Creates: Stampin Dreams December Blog Hop SAB/Occasions Catalogue Sneak Peek

Nigezza Creates aka Gez, Independent Stampin' Up® Demonstrator

Thank you for visiting my blog, I really do appreciate it, if you follow my blog then you will know that this is my second blog post of the day! If you are new then welcome. I am really excited to be taking part in my second Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop.

Nigezza Creates with Stampin' Up! for Stampin' Dreams Blog Hop

This month the theme is SAB/Occasions Catalogue Sneak Peek. I have my preorder and have made something to go out to customers with the catalogue but not made anything else, until now of course! I normally stick to one stamp set and one punch/die but as its a sneak peek I thought I'd use as much as possible! I have used a mixture of FREE SAB product as well as new product from the New Catalogue.

For this Blog Hop I have made a gift box. The box holds 3 little Yankee candles and has a diagonal hinge opening for a bit of a 'wow'. I really love the colour combinations in this paper and they coordinate well with the 3 candles I have used.
