Samples for my upcoming St. Patrick's day treatholder classes.  Attendees can make 10 each of one of the designs shown for only $5.

While I don't really make much $$ on these types of classes they keep my customers coming back and hopefully inspire them to create more on their own (and order more supplies!).  I also use these classes as a venue to use up retired consumables…

All three are stamped with a retired St. Patrick's day set, Garden Green inkpad and cardstock and DSP.

Left: A matchbook style holder that can hold pre-packaged M&M's, Skittles etc…

Middle: Made using the Stampin' Up! Itty Bitty Box die (115967).

Right:  Made using the Stampin' Up! Fancy Favor die (#115965).

A purse made with the top note die inspired by Becky Robert's a fellow SU! demonstrator.  Wouldn't you love to receive some chocolates or better yet-a Brighton gift card in this cute container?  Note how the Epoxy brad matches the DSP!

Sweet Pea DSP; Chocolate Chip cardstock and Satin ribbon; Top note, Scallop Circle and Clear Circle Bigz dies; Pretty in Pink Sending Love Expoxy brads (#117271-only $4.95!).

These are card ideas are also from Patty Bennett.  They were featured in a couple of my classes last year when this new Manhattan Flower impressions folder (p195, #114517) was introduced.

Left: Oval All stamp set; Summer Sun, Regal Rose and Rose Red inkpads; Regal Rose cardstock; Shimmery White cardstock; Brayer; Manhattan Flower impressions folder; Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches.  The colors were brayered one color at a time on the back of the impressed image and then cut out.

Right: Oval All stamp set; Regal Rose inkpad and cardstock; Vellum cardstock; Manhattan Flower impressions folder; Large Oval and Scallop Oval punches.  Whisper White Organza ribbon.

This was my entry for an over the top swap at convention last year.

For All You Do stamp set; Rich Razzleberry inkpad and cardstock, Old Olive inkpad, Crushed Curry cardstock and Ribbon; Razzleberry Lemonaid DSP, Cardstock Vellum;  Blossom Party Originals die, Perfect Details Texturz plate; Chocolate Chip corduroy button.

I diecut two flowers and then trimmed away some of the petals.  I then stacked the remaining petals to give the flower dimension.

Perfect for giving a gift card or any other small gift.  The "pizza box" style holder is made using the Top Note die for the top and bottom.  I used a 5-1/2" x 8" piece of cardstock scored at 1, 3-1/2, 4-1/2 and 7" on the long edge and 1 and 4-1/2" on the short side.

I made the patchwork on the center sample using the Tea Party DSP and the 1-3/8" square punch.  I glued the pieces on to a piece of coordinating cardstock and the sent it through the Big Shot using theTop Note die.

I used the Pink Flamingo DSP for the sample on the right and the Daisies #2 die for the flower embellishment using Pretty in Pink and Read Red cardstock.  Finished it off with our beautiful Fire Rhinestone brad.

Aren't these gift/treatholders too cute?!!  I made them by using two of the Sizzix Box #2 dies.   The DSP is called Tea Party and the cardstock is Certainly Celery.  The flower on the box in front is made with a SU! exclusive Sizzlet die and Bigz die.

This project uses the Stampin' Up! Scallop Envelope die for the Big Shot and one sheet of Designer Series Paper to make the box as well as 8 matching 3"x 3" mini cards.  Click here to or on the Instruction Sheets tab above to download instructions.

More Stamp-A-Stack class samples from last year…All the stamp sets and papers are current.  I used Big Shot dies for 4 out of the 6 cards.  Sorry about the sideways card on the top left…I guess the photographer wasn't paying attention on this one.

I'm without a photographer for a few days so I'll be posting some of my past class projects.  These are some packaging ideas showing alternative ways to use the Big Shot dies. I plan to offer it again this spring and adding some other projects as well.  What, you don't have a Big Shot machine? How can that be?  If you like the idea of making projects without having to use your scissors to cut each piece one by one you'll love the Big Shot!!  Order one today online here or call or e-mail me for more information and/or to place your order.
