Okay so I had to make another one using the Sweet Pea DSP (only available through April 30th!)…these are great to give as gifts for family, teachers and co-workers.  How about for Mother's day?  It's coming up sooner than you think!

Happy Moments stamp set (SAB); So Saffron, River Rock and Chocolate Chip inkpads and cardstock, Bashful Blue marker; Scallop Trim Border, 1-3/4" Circle, 1-3/8" Square, Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches; Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder.

An Easter "basket" based on a similar one that was on the SU! demonstrator only website.

It's hard to see in the photo but the Chocolate Bunny (new stamp from the Occasions mini catalog-only $7.95 #116980) is embossed using Versamark and Clear embossing powder on Chocolate Chip cardstock.  It looks like shiny dark chocolate and good enough to eat!

Pink Flamingo DSP; Summer Sun and Old Olive cardstocks; Well Scripted stamp set; SU! Scallop Square Bigz clear die; Scallop Edge punch; Pretties kit (flower-which is died Summer Sun with a marker and halfback pearl).

One of the cards from my upcoming March Stamp-a-Stack classes.

Trendy Trees stamp set; So Saffron cardstock, Old Olive and Chocolate Chip inkpads; Sweet Pea DSP.

I've been getting ready for my upcoming Circle Bag w/Matching Mini cards class so am posting another sample.

I used the new Sweet Pea DSP (from the Occasions mini catalog) and the Happy Moments set that you can get FREE during Sale-a-bration.  You can make the bag and matching cards with just one sheet of DSP (Designer Series Paper) and some additional coordinating cardstock.

So Saffron, Pumpkin Pie and Taken with Teal cardstock, inkpads and markers; Beautiful Butterflies and Pennant dies; Scallop Trim Border and 1-3/4" Circle punches; Perfect Polka Dots and Bouquet Impressions folders.

4/1 update: The instructions are now posted in the Instruction Tab above or click here.

This version is stamped VERY similarly to the one that Becky Roberts made.  I just changed up the colors and added my own twist using my own holder pattern/design.  This is one of the options for my Milk Carton Holder classes that I am offering this month.

Eggcoutrements and Well Scripted stamp sets (Occasions Mini catalog), Fast Flowers wheel; So Saffron, Certainly Celery and Orchid Opulence inkpads and  cardstocks; 1/4", 3/4" and 1" Circle punches, Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches and Trio Flower punch; Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder; SU! Mini Milk Carton die; White Grosgrain ribbon; Window sheets.

4/1 update: The instructions are now posted in the Instruction Tab above or click here.

Samples for my upcoming St. Patrick's day treatholder classes.  Attendees can make 10 each of one of the designs shown for only $5.

While I don't really make much $$ on these types of classes they keep my customers coming back and hopefully inspire them to create more on their own (and order more supplies!).  I also use these classes as a venue to use up retired consumables…

All three are stamped with a retired St. Patrick's day set, Garden Green inkpad and cardstock and DSP.
