My space needed a makeover after I tried out the new clear mount stamp option from Stampin' Up! Have you tried out the Clear Blocks and Cling Mount rubber stamps yet?? I'm in LOVE! They're so fun to use and they're so pretty! As soon as I started playing with the clear mount stamp sets I knew I would need something to set on my stamp table to keep the blocks in - I wanted them close and easy to grab, but it had to be something that would live up to the pretty Clear Blocks - I just want to look at them all day long. :)
When I saw this box I knew it would be perfect after I did a little decorating.
The box was avaliable in either Brown or White. I choose a Brown one for me. (I went back to get a White one for Grandma and I'll work on decorating hers next!) I applied the Certainly Celery Always Bird Decor Elements to the top of the box. Then I tied a piece of Certainly Celery ribbon left over from last year's Sale-a-bration around the edge of the lid.
I've had my eye on this bird since he first came out in the Decor Elements brochure and I'm so happy I finally found the right project for him. Doesn't he just pop off the rich brown box?
The top just lifts out and sets to the side when I need to get to the blocks.
I'm totally stamping in luxury now - and no it does not take much to make me happy!! :)

All the clear blocks fit nicely inside the box.
The box also came with an insert for the top. It had an optional divider to split it into 4 compartments but I figured out that if I use the top with no dividers it's the perfect size to hold my Stampin' Scrub, Scissors, and SNAIL adhesive.
The top just lifts out and sets to the side when I need to get to the blocks.
I finished off my stampin' space makeover with a mini Stampin' Mist Bottle. A small spritzer bottle that's decorated with some Rub-Ons and a tag (Thanks Crista!!).

Happy Stampin'
That is super cute! Decor Elements rarely even hit my radar so I am always excited to see when people use them "outside the box". Great job!
