Bringing back this card design with a little twist.  Wouldn't you love to have dresses like these?!!

Pink Flamingo DSP; Summer Sun and Real Red cardstocks; Sincere Salutations stamp set; Scallop Circle Bigz die, Floral Fusion Sizzlet, Perfect Polka Dots Impressions Folder; Whisper White Organza Ribbon; Summer Sun Couduroy button, Fire Rhinestone Square brad.

A birdhouse-shaped box made using Stampin' Up!'s exclusive Milk Carton die available in the current Occasions Mini Catalog.

Sweet Pea DSP; Chocolate Chip, Bashful Blue and Old Olive cardstocks; Extra Large Two-Step Bird, Trio Flower, Scallop Edge, and 1" Circle punches; Ice Rhinestone Brads.

I got this fabulous mini card idea using the Fox & Friends stamp set (current Occasions Mini catalog) from Canadian demonstrator Angela McKay.  I expanded on her idea and made a matching holder.

I used the DSP patterns pack that you can get as a level 1 hostess set plus Really Rust, Ruby Red, Mellow Moss, Night of Navy, More Mustard ink pads and cardstocks.

This is a class I will offer sometime in April.

Several demonstrators have made this type of cute and quick treatholder-not sure who was the first!  This will be a last minute addition to my Easter Treatholder class choices this month.

The bags are 1" x 8" and hold about 30 M&Ms or 20 jellybeans (I used Starburst).  I ordered them from clearbags.com.

A new class project I've designed using just one sheet of DSP.  Attendees will learn how to make a cardholder/bag and 6 matching cards.

In this version I've used the Melon Mambo DSP and Flower for All Seasons and Sincere Salutations stamp sets.  Other supplies:  Melon Mambo DSP; Perfect Polka Dots impressions folder; Whisper White Taffeta and Organza ribbons; Scallop edge, Scallop Circle, Horizontal Slot and1-3/4" Circle punches; Clear Rhinestone brads.
