Hey there! Wow, yesterday I had fun placing my first order from the New Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog! Demonstrators got to pre-order a specific group of items a month ago, but yesterday we could order it all! I paid a little extra shipping to have them here in time for my New Catalog Kick-Off on Saturday!

Today I'm sharing with this quick little box I created for Maddie Kate's graduation gift:

It was easy to cut the Basic Black cardstock with the Curvy Keepsake Die and the Big Shot, assemble, then add a 3" x 3" square on top. I cut a slit in the center diagonally from about an inch out from two opposite corners to slide over the handles on the top of the box.

The greeting is from the new Friendly Wishes. I punched with the Decorative Label punch, then adhered with Stampin' Dimensionals.

I created the "tassel" by cutting a piece of Hello Honey ribbon from the Occasions catalog in half, then pulling threads from each end before tying the ends together in a knot. This ribbon isn't available anymore, but you could achieve this effect with several of our current ribbons.

Inside we tucked a personalized name stamp "Maddie Kate". Unfortunately, Stampin' Up! has decided to discontinue the personalized name and address stamp line, so you can't order them anymore. Bummer.
