Last week I enjoyed a night out Stampin’ Up! style. Sale-A-Bration starts on 6 January and Stampin’ Up! organised a sneak peek tour for demonstrators around the UK.

As you will know from previous posts, a Stampin’ Up! event is never a proper event without swaps and downline gifts. Five of my direct downlines came to Basingstoke with me (we all piled into Helen’s car) so I made them all a little gift.

My box of swaps and downline gifts
I have to admit that I forgot to take a photo of my actual swap (and gave them all out, forgetting to keep one for myself) and the next photo is a little different from my actual downline gift, but only in one respect. In the photo below you can see that I have stamped onto the cellophane bag using white StazOn, the downline gifts did not have the stamped snowflakes on them. They were just as cute without.
I took time to line the inside of the box with some Designer Series Paper but you don’t have to do this if you don’t wish too. Alternatively, simply make the box out of Designer Series Paper and then there is no need to decorate it.
Here’s the box from the front.
The Stampin’ Up! supplies used to make the box for the sweets are:

Here’s a photo of four of my downlines holding their fabulous Sale-A-Bration (SAB) catalogues. I have to say that this SAB is going to be fabulous. But, you are going to have to wait a little longer before I can share the contents of the catalogue with you.
