Welcome to my first post for the RemARKable Going Green Blog Tour!
Have you purchased (or earned) some of our awesome new Clear-Mount Stamps? Don't you love 'em!?
If you've gotten some of our Clear-Mount Stamps, you've probably gotten a Clear-Mount Block or two as well. Don't throw away those nifty, locking, plastic boxes the Blocks come in. You can reuse them to make cool see-through packaging!
I've filled all of my samples below with various Stampin' Up! products so I can use them as Hostess Gifts and Door Prizes at upcoming Workshops. You could fill yours the same way and give them to a fellow stamper as a neat little gift. Or, fill them with candy, hair accessories, note cards, seeds from your garden, decks of cards with scorepads and pencils, money (especially coins), jewelry (like our Simply Adorned Charms), or small toys like Matchbox cars, jacks, marbles, crayons and notepads, Barbie accessories, etc.

This is an awesome idea. I held on to mine but had no idea what I wanted to use them for! Very clever.

Cool Idea, Michele! I use this same idea w/ the little plastic containers that the wood stamps come in (thanks for the new decorating ideas):)

This is such an awesome idea...I only wish I had seen it before I threw them out since I could not figure out what I was going to do with them. bummer ;-(
