Hello, I hope you are well.

When this blog post and video go live I’ll be having lots of fun on the last day at OnStage 2022 in Vienna with hundreds of other independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from across the world. To say that I’m excited while I’m typing this is a vast understatement!!

To take a touch of Scotland with me to Austria I made lots of these Christmas Scottie shortbread boxes with me…

If you missed this blog post and tutorial from August then you can CLICK HERE to check it out.

I didn’t want to have to carry TOO many packs of shortbread with me and to be frank I got a bit bored of making these boxes after a while so I looked to make some different swaps to take along too. And this is what I came up with…

I had some pretty little nail files that came in boxes of 12 so I split them up and popped 4 into a little pocket created with the ever so versatile Celebrations Tags dies and the gorgeous Hues Of Happiness designer series paper.

I’ve recorded a video to show you how quick and easy these are to put together and I’d love you to check it out by clicking on the image below:

Here’s the pile I made ready to take with me…

Isn’t that such a lovely sight?! That designer series paper does all the hard work!

I hope these swaps are well received and I can’t wait to share what I get in return. Swapping projects is a great way to meet new people and of course to get tons of inspiration!!

I hope you’ve enjoyed today’s project and will maybe try it out too.
