Grateful Bunch Large Tissue Box Hostess Gift Stampin Up! UK

Today I have a little gift idea for you. It could be made by a child for a Mothering Sunday Gift, If you are a Stampin Up! Demonstrator Like me, This project would also make a great Hostess Gift, of even a gift for your Down lines (this is the term used for people who have joined your Team as a Demonstrator. Not that you have to demonstrate anything if you don't want to, as you can join just to take advantage of the generous discount you would get on all your paper craft products, that will better feed your crafty habit he he!

But, you might also just want to make a pretty cover for your home's ' Own Brand' Tissues ...

If you haven't already given your children the opportunity to learn how to use rubber stamps, this is the perfect chance for you to do so. My grandchildren begin with belly, hand & feet painting, but by 3 years old, they have to capacity to make a right royal mess using stamps and inks he! Put plastic bags on your table to protect it from mess, and newspaper under that and let them get on with creating
