I used the Square Scallop die and a 4"x4" piece of DSP to create the wrap for the coconut Ferrero candy.

I know, I know.  it's been a while but with getting ready for holiday boutiques etc..not to mention adopting a puppy from the animal shelter things have been a bit crazy at the Haverstick household.

Our new addition, Darjeeling, joined in on the fun as Jon took photos of some of my recent projects.  She is an Alaskan Husky mix, about 9 months old with the prettiest blue eyes.

She is seen here with a couple of packaging ideas using some retired DSP.

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.

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 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.
