This is a door prize I'm giving out at my Occasions Mini/SAB workshop next Saturday.

The Notecard holder design is mine but I copied the actual notecard design from Becky Roberts a very talented SU! demonstrator!  It contains 6 notecards/envelopes, a matching pen and a few Hershey's nuggets for when you get that sudden craving for chocolate…It's hard to see on the photo but the holder is wrapped in a sliding acetate sleeve to keep the items from falling out.

Want a chance to win?  Come to my workshop!  If you bring a guest you get more chances to win!

Can't come but want to learn how to make this wonderful gift item?  You can schedule a special workshop where you and your close friends can learn how to make this project.  Call or e-mail me to book a workshop today!

These are the projects that my guests will be making at my upcoming Occasions Mini/SAB Workshop (Saturday, February 6th).

Want to see some of the new products up close and learn some new techniques?  Check out my calendar for details and then call or e-mail me to sign-up!

To continue on what seems to have become packaging ideas week…A couple of Valentine treatholders using the Petal Card die.  I got the idea on the right while perusing my local Target store!  Want to learn how to make this?  Call or e-mail me to schedule a special workshop today!

BTW-I hope to tape a video tutorial on how to make the one on the right in the next few weeks-stay tuned for an upcoming video tutorial post!

I guess I'm in the packaging mood this week…here is a project made with the Bags w/Scallops die; Well Scripted Stamp set (Occasions mini); Sending Love DSP; Scallop Oval, Large Oval and Wide Oval punches; Window sheet; Very Vanilla Tafetta Ribbon

I made this container using the Basket & Blooms die in an alternative way.

Products used:  Real Red and Pretty in Pink cardstocks; Real Red Ink pad; Sending Love DSP; With All My Heart stamp set (Occasions mini); Baskets & Blooms die; Scallop Circle, Scallop Oval and Large Oval punches; Build-a-Brad.

Want to know how to make the "flower"?  I just punched 4 of the scallop circles out of the DSP and then scrunched them.  Note: You can mist the punched paper with water first before scrunching so it looks a little more ragged (shabby chic) but I didn't for this sample.

A couple more alternative ways to use this die.

Left:  Real Red, Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla cardstock; Real Red ink pad, Well Scripted stamp set (Occasions mini); Sending Love DSP; Baskets & Blooms die; Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit; Large Heart punch; Punch Labels Movers & Shapers die.

Right:  Real Red and Whisper White cardstock; Real Red and Craft White ink pads, I {Heart} Heart stamp set (Occasions mini/Haitian Relief promotion); Baskets & Blooms die;Scalloped Heart of Hearts embosslit; Perfect Polka Dots Impressions folder; Large Heart and Scallop Trim border punches; Real Red Sending Love Epoxy brad; Whisper White Organza Ribbon.
