Paw Open the Gifts!
Let’s talk gift card holders. I need lots of them this time of year. Even my 7 year old great nephew wants a gift card! Mini Pizza Boxes to the rescue! Priced at $6 for 8 boxes (.75 each) they far less expensive then store bought gift card holders and certainly more impressive.
I used the Santa Paws stamp set for today’s project – perfect for the dog or cat lover on your holiday shopping list or for the kids. Today’s video will also provide you with a close up look at this image colored in with Stampin’ Write Markers versus the new Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers. I’ve put side by side comparisons in a picture below. Which one do you favor?
Whether you’re gift card holder is for a friend, co-worker or teacher, these Mini Pizza Boxes are the perfect way to present them. Shop in my online store for your Mini Pizza Boxes and remember, I offer generous online ordering REWARDS, too!

Tomorrow’s Surgery
Just as a reminder, I am scheduled for surgery very early tomorrow morning. Having suffered with Ulcerative Colitis for many years I’m hopeful that this surgery will remedy my problems. This will require several days of hospitalization and then 6-8 weeks of recovery at home. During this time i will have several people working to assist me to continue operating Lisa’s Stamp Studio as you’ve come to know it. I’ve also been working diligently designing, photographing, filming, editing and scheduling upcoming blog posts so you can remain inspired. Despite all my planning, there may be days where I’m unable to respond to emails and comments as promptly as I have in the past. Your patience and continued support is most appreciated during this time.

Good luck with your surgery, We will all be thinking of you and praying for healing. Thanks for sharing your talents with us.
Thank you Rose Ann! I feel all those prayers!
All good thoughts for a successful surgery and speedy recovery. Someone who gives so much of herself to others deserves the best!
I appreciate it so much, Stephanie!
I will be sending healing thoughts your way. Let family and close friends help along the way.
Thank you, Cindy! I have a huge support network and I promise to let them help. HUGS
Dear Lisa, You will be in our thoughts and prayers as you have your surgery tomorrow. We understand what is happening as our darling granddaughter was the Crones poster child in Maine last year. Since she was diagnosed at age 6 (she’s 10 now) we have learned a lot about these diseases. Sending wishes for this surgery to give you great relief. (Love all your Stampin Up, too !!! Thanks.)
Thank you for your kind words, Mimi. I appreciate all the prayers! With your first-hand experience you know that this disease is nasty but I’m 100% confident that this will finally resolve my issues.
Lisa, praying for your complete healing, and the peace and comfort you will need while going thru recovery. I pray the medical team that will be caring for you is alert and able to give you the absolute best care. God bless you always. See ya soon in SU world.
Thank you, Denise. I accept all those prayers. May God bless you as well!
Oh Lisa, prayers that this surgery will give you a better future and help you feel much better. Love reading your posts and hope to hear from you soon, but more importantly, take time off to heal and get better. We all will be here when you are ready to resume your awesome blog.
Hi Michelle! Thank you for your thoughtfulness and prayers. I’ve got blog posts and videos scheduled throughout the month so that I can keep you all inspired and allow myself to heal. I hope you’ll visit my blog during the remainder of my recovery time as I’ve got lots of great stuff I’m sharing!
Really cute pizza box idea! Good Luck tomorrow, we will be thinking of you. No worries!!
Thank you for your thoughts, Janice! So glad you enjoyed the project.
Hi Lisa, can you imagine what these animals would sound like if we could “hear” them? My favorite is the blending pens since there is more shading.
Please be assured of my prayers for you, family, and medical staff believing with you that this procedure will provide a much improved lifestyle.
