  • All pieces for your project should be cut and placed into a Stampin’ Up! Envelope, ready for each person to create
  • Bring all stamps, inks, dies, everything needed for your project in a “box” so that you can set it up at a “station.” If things can be pre-punched, or pre-die cut, please do so to make it easier for people to complete your project.

  • Ribbon/Embellishments can be in the “box” and not individual envelopes
