IT'S INSPIRATION TIME....

Hello friends, sorry for being a day late with our inspirational post. I was out spending some much needed time with the kiddos.

Before I get into this weeks post, there are two things I want to mention. First is that do you know we have a new Design Team Call? So if you love working with printable stamps and cutting files, please head on over and check out the DT call....You can click here for that.

Up next is our winner from last weeks post.............the winner is user name:

Blteahon

Blteahon, you have won any 3 sets from our online store...please contact me at [email protected] so that you can get your free sets.

Alrighty, did you know that most of all of the background sets that we carry can be used to make the bags and boxes that we sell!   That's right all of full sheet backgrounds you can print them out using your home printers and then run the sheet back in the printer with the bag or box template lines. Or after you print out the background sheet place that printed sheet out on your cutting mat and then cut out the bag or box you want......

Fun stuff...........Today we want to share a few AMAZING projects the team did using the background sets with some bags and boxes from our online store.

We have several bags and boxes and backgrounds to choose from....
