Sea Street Punch Board Gift Boxes

The new Stampin’ Up! Holiday catalog which went live on August 28th has a brand new Gift Box Punch Board.  One day I played around with it and made every size listed on the board – there are 15 different ones –

box-sea-street2I decorated these boxes with the stamps from the Amazing Birthday stamp set.  Check back tomorrow I hope to have another Alaska post and another stamping post.  See you then.
