A couple more samples from last year's Christmas card class.  The DSP is retired but the Stamps and cardstock colors are still available so they will be easy to replicate.

These are Christmas treatholders made by my downline for our recent meeting.

A project that I made for my recent downline meeting.  It would make a great placeholder for your Thanksgiving dinner table.

Autumn Spice DSP; Cajun Craze cardstock and inkpad; Old Olive and Naturals Ivory cardstock; Square Lattice TIEF; Scallop Circle Bigz  and Leaves #2 Originals dies.  

The box in the middle is made using a 4" x 4" piece of cardstock scored at 1" on two sides and 1.5 on the other sides.

Here are the remaining Halloween treatholder designs to be featured at my upcoming classes.  Can you believe that my family doesn't really "do" Halloween?  My customers love making treats to hand out for the holidays though so I always offer up plenty of choices!

And yet more…the ones on the sides are made using the Fancy Favor die.

The Jr. Frankie box in the middle is a design by fellow demonstrator Rosemarie Diehl and is made using a piece of cardstock measuring 6" x 10-1/2", scored at 2-1/2", 5", 7-1/2" and 10" along the long edge and then at 2-1/2" on the short side.  The lid/hair is made using the Clear Scallop Square die and Spider Web TIEF and then scored at 7/8" all the way around.

More treatholders for my upcoming Halloween class.  Again, The DSP is retired but the stamps are current.  Top Left-Matchbox Die, Bottom Middle-Candy Wrapper die, Top Right-no die but a matchbook style package.

A few of the Halloween treatholder designs for my upcoming classes.  Note that the DSP is retired but the stamps are current.  The one in the middle is made using the Two Tags die and the ones on the sides are made with the Bitty Box & Envelope die.
