Hi Stamping Friends!

Since Black Friday is coming up this week, I thought it would be the perfect time to do a little showcase of my favorite gift ideas for stampers!  Whether you need a great gift for a stamping friend, or you're creating a wishlist of your own to give to friends and family, Stampin' Up! has some awesome products at a variety of price points to fit your holiday budget!

Top 10 Favorite Holiday Gift Items

Whole kit & caboodle

1. Everyday Occasions Cardmaking Kit (134797)—$29.95

  • Why It's A Great Gift: It's simply an AMAZING value!  It includes ALL of the card stock, embellishments and envelopes to create 20 all-occasion cards, plus there's a versatile greetings stamp set, inks and a clear block to use for future projects!  See complete details, including photos of each card, at my Sunday Showcase—Everyday Occasions Card Kit post.
  • It's Perfect For: ANYONE!  Beginner stampers, advanced stampers, teens and tweens, busy moms, teachers, co-workers, friends, retirees…you name it!  Give the kit, or assemble the cards for them for a gift set of cards! 

Magnetic platform 130658L

2. Magnetic Platform (130658)—$39.95

  • Why It's A Great Gift: It's a must-have companion tool for the Big Shot!  It's relatively new, and it's a higher price-point, so your stamping friends may not have had the opportunity to purchase it themselves.  Make sure it's on YOUR wishlist if you don't have it!  Once you use it, you won't know how you ever used Framelits without it!  Worth the investment! 
  • It's Perfect For:  Any crafter who owns a Big Shot!

Envelope punch board

3. Envelope Punch Board (133774)—$19.95

  • Why It's A Great Gift: Not only does it quickly & easily create 66 sizes of envelopes, it also a versatile tool for making card boxes, treat holders, file folder cards, gift card holders and more!  See a Envelope Punch Board tutorial for more info.
  • It's Perfect For: Cardmakers of any age!  Can you imagine how much fun a young girl would have making envelopes for her handmade cards for her friends and family?  Too much fun!

Simply scored 122334S

4. Simply Scored Scoring Tool (122334)—$29.95

  • Why It's A Great Gift: It's a very handy tool for any crafter to have in their craft room!  Score traditional cards quickly.  Create gate-fold and fancy fold cards easily.  Make boxes, envelopes and treat holders of all kinds!  There's limitless possibilities with this basic stamping "staple." 
  • It's Perfect For: Any stamper especially, but crafters in general would love it.  Like the Magnetic Platform, once you have one, you don't know how you lived without it!

Paper snips I103579F

5. Paper Snips (103579)—$9.95

  • Why It's A Great Gift: They may be small, but these aren't "kids" scissors!  These babies are SHARP!  They are absolutely the only scissors I use for detailed cutting, because they cut precisely and accurately to the very tip!  They get in and around the intricate patterns and tight corners that other scissors can't touch!  They are also fabulous for cutting ribbon without fraying it.  Plus, they're cute and the perfect price for a stocking stuffer!
  • It's Perfect For: Any crafter!  Even if they have scissors, crafters can always use another pair—trust me!

  • Why It's A Great Gift: Remember when you were a kid and you got a brand-new box of Crayola crayons?  Well, for stampers, receiving a new set of Stampin' Write Markers is just like that!  Markers are a great way to get lots of colors when you're not ready to invest in all the colors of ink pads. If you're feeling especially generous, why not give the complete Many Marvelous Markers Set?!
  • It's Perfect For: New stampers especially, but any stamper would love this! 

Trimmer 126889L

8. Stampin' Trimmer (126889)—$29.95

  • Why It's A Great Gift: As far a personal paper trimmers go, this one is the best one I've ever used!  It has all the bells and whistles!  My favorite is that the scoring and cutting blades are always ready for use without needing to take them off and on.  The extended arm allows you to cut full sheets of 12×12" paper.  Plus the measurements won't wear off.  Learn all about it at the Stampin' Trimmer tutorial.
