A purse-shaped gift card holder using up some of my old DSP.  I used a 6 x 6" piece of DSP, folded in half and then cut up on an angle on each side to make it look more like a purse.  Topped off with the Scallop Circle Bigz Die which was impresses using the Perfect Polka Dots TIEF.

I made these tealights out of Soda cans.  Some with the pattern facing up (Diet Coke) and some with the plain silver aluminum showing. Packaging them with extra tealights to sell at a upcoming craft fair.

A tall box using the Bells & Boughs DSP.  I used an 8-1/2" x 11 piece of cardstock scored at 2-1/2, 5, 7-1/2 and 10 across the long edge and at 2-1/2 inches along the shorter edge. The lid was made using the Scallop Square Die scored at 7/8" on all four sides.

Sorry for the lapse in posts.  I was getting ready for my first Holiday boutique of the year…

Another version of my Christmas banner offered at my class this month…using current DSP and embellishments.  Most supplies are from the Holiday Mini Catalog

A Christmas banner perfect for a mantle or buffet.  This is one of my November class projects.  I used retired papers for this one but class attendees will get their choice of this one or one using current DSP.

Basic Instructions are now posted under the Instruction Sheet Tab.

Yet another project for my upcoming Christmas Gifts class.  The Jr. notepad was cut in 1/2 so you can have two lists going at once.  A matching pen that has a special place of it's own.  I will be posting instructions soon so keep checking my instruction sheet tab.

One of the projects for my upcoming Christmas gifts class (and for a boutique I'm participating in).  Idea came from Erica Corwin with a little modification.

A fellow demonstrator recently showed me how to make coasters using 4" unsealed tiles.  Just stamp with craft pads, bake for about 20 minutes at 350 degrees and then seal with Krylon.
