I was packaging up some gifts for my Luv 2 Stamp group demonstrators who achieved a title promotion in November, and at the same time, I was also taking the new Occasions 2019 catalog framelits out of the plastic envelopes and putting them on magnet cards (see this post), and I thought, hmmmmm why don’t I repurpose the plastic envelopes, decorate them, and use them as little gift packets for my team!
As you can see below, I have PLENTY of these empty Stampin’ Up! framelit plastic envelope pouches. I have kept them all. I knew someday I’d find the perfect project for them!! 🙂 (I store them on magnet sheets in Avery Elle plastic sleeves now).
Tip to create these packets: Cut any size strip of designer paper you wish (mine were about 2″ x 5-1/2″) and use Tear & Tape to adhere them to the flap. The rectangle of DSP will go over the edge of the packet a bit, I used my Paper Snips to trim it. You could even cover the entire flap!!
I wrapped new Stampin’ Up! ribbon around the flap after adhering the paper. I secured the ribbon with a couple of glue dots so that it doesn’t slip off the flap. I used brand new 2019 Occasions catalog ALL MY LOVE and HOW SWEET IT IS designer paper and all new ribbons, too! You can see them all at the bottom of this post in the product photos.
I used one of my personalized handlettered rubber stamps from Holly at BurnsNestDesigns on a Stitched Shape Oval die cut, then layered each die cut onto a coordinating Layered Oval scallop die cut. I color coordinated the Epoxy Heart Droplets by coloring them with my Stampin’ Blends markers.
Each gift packet contains some brand new 2019 and some current Stampin’ Up! accessory items, just a small token of celebration for my personal recruits who advance in title! The little 2-3/4″ square notes were created and printed through Vista Print.
Hope that gives you a fun idea for repurposing the Stampin’ UP! plastic framelit envelopes!

Good morning Patty,
What a great idea……..I like the idea of storing your framelits on the magnetic sheets but I have soooo many I just keep them with my stamp set….but I love your idea and it’s a great way to use up the envelopes……..I would have to purchase to many of the stamp and storage boxes because I never rid of my old stamp sets. I keep them all…..but I sure love your idea. Have a great day Patty
So glad you enjoyed the idea!! Yes, I keep buying the magnet sheets and leave all my framelits on them, even when I sell them.
Wow, what a great idea and neat way to share prizes with your team! Love this idea of using up the packets from the framelits. You ROCK with great idea’s my friend!!!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the idea!! I thought it was pretty fun!! and great recycle project!
Hi Patty, I have been looking to find envelopes like these but Stampin Up does not sell them. If you would be willing to part with a few I would love to buy them from you.
I have purchased your paper shares in the past. Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Hi Mary, I might be able to send you a few.. email me (link in sidebar) and we’ll chat about it. 🙂
I love this idea. I don’t have as many of these envelopes as you do… I too store my dies on magnetic sheets; but, I hate the idea of putting these plastic sleeves in the landfill. I am going to borrow this idea for sure!
So glad you enjoyed the idea Mary!!
Love this idea Patty! I have tons that I have in a box and now I have a plan to re-purpose them. TFS
yay!! have fun repurposing them!!
FABULOUS ideas Miss Patty! I love it and will have to remember for my girls! 🙂 Thank you for sharing!
So glad you enjoyed it.. you are most welcome!
What a great idea!!!!! All my Framelits and dies still use those envelopes though?. When I win megabucks, I will convert them and use this idea!!!!! ????
Thanks!!!
Nothing wrong with keeping them in the envelopes… but once I started with the magnet sheets.. that was it.. no turning back LOL 🙂
Hello Patty this is Mary Sannebeck… I got the celebration catalog but I didn’t get the sale catalog.
I don’t know of anyone who has rec’d the Occasions catalog yet.. I pay Stampin’ UP! to mail the Sale-a-Bration brochure and Occasions catalog to all of my customers and it has to be 2 separate orders. To my knowledge nobody has rec’d the Occ. one yet.
This is about the most creative idea I’ve seen in a long time for a way to use up all the “empty” containers we accrue as demos. Thank you so much for sharing your idea.
Thank you Becca! So glad you enjoyed the idea!!!
