This edition of the
Stamp Review Crew Blog Hop features
Perfect Blend, my favorite stamp set in this
Stampin' Up! Catalog. I LOVE THIS STAMP SET! And if you don't already own the
Perfect Blend, you're going to be wanting it by the end of this Blog Hop! (The best part about
Perfect Blend, besides the image, the sentiments and the versatility - is the price!)

Today, I want to share a little Christmas gift which uses the
Perfect Blend stamp set with a few Christmas sentiments and some
Season of Style DSP. Do you recognize the box I used to make this gift package? It is one of the
Wood Mount Cases (Half size) from
Stampin' Up!
I cut a strip of the pattern paper from
Season of Style DSP to fit under the outer plastic sleeve of the case. This provides a pretty liner for the inside as well as the outside of the case. Then I added a length of
Cherry Cobbler Chevron Ribbon, adhered with
Sticky Strip, for the handle. For the cover, I made a very basic stamped image using the cup image from
Perfect Blend and one of the sentiments from the
Joy to the World stamp set, from the
Holiday Catalog.
A strip of
Baked Brown Sugar Ruffled Trim finishes off the simple cover. There are SO MANY items you can stash in these Wood Mount Cases besides stamps and accessories!
Here's the inside of this gift case. It's filled with several
Perfect Blend cards and envelopes, along with a couple of sweet treats. I made the inside liner with a piece of
Baked Brown Sugar cardstock, cut to 4 1/2 x 6" and scored at 1/2" on each side. I miter cut the corners, folded on the score lines, and settled it right into the Wood Mount Case. Then I made a divider, again with the
Baked Brown Sugar cardstock and adhered it to the liner. I filled the top section of the divided case with 4 of these
Perfect Blend 3x3 cards and envelopes and added some Lindor Truffles to the bottom section.

These 3x3 cards came together quickly with some
Paper Piecing, which may be my favorite way to use this stamp set. The sketched line images make it so easy to cut out, absolutely no fussy-cutting here! For these cups, I stamped and
Heat Embossed several cup images, with
Basic Black Craft Ink and
Basic Black Embossing Powder, onto a few different pieces of the
Season of Style DSP and some
Naturals White cardstock.
After heat setting the embossing powder, I trimmed out cups, cup sleeves and cup lids, then mixed and matched patterns to create several different layered coffee cups. These cups are adhered to the 3 x 3 cards with backgrounds and mats of
Baked Brown Sugar and more pieces of
Season of Style DSP. This sentiment is part of one of the sentiments from
More Merry Messages stamp set (a carryover set) and punched out with the
Word Window Punch. I even decorated one of the cups as cup of tea, using some
Bakers Twine with
the sentiment as the tea bag tag.
