Early peek at Designer Paper "Shades of Spring"

My husband needed a couple gifts for his Christmas Party tonight so he asked me if I wouldn't mind making something to donate. I have tons of cards ready to go at any time so I went through them and made a couple boxes/holders to hold 12 cards with envelopes.


This is how I packaged it:


This is the box before packaging, it has 12 card/envelopes in it.



I really like this new DP and can't wait to start sharing it with my friends/customers.

Here is what I used:
Shades of Spring DP (from Occasions Mini)
Orchid Opulence ink and cardstock
So Saffron cardstock
Eyelet border punch
Dear Friends retired hostess stamp set
gusset sacks
1 3/8" circle punch
scallop punch
misc ribbon

PROJECTS FROM MY ANAHEIM CLASS

It sure was fun to see old friends again. Here are the 5 projects/cards we made in my class yesterday in Anaheim.



This one was very simple, but I just love Dasher. Funny thing is that everyone puts a red nose on him and changes him into Rudolph!



This card was cased from Diana Gibbs....she rocks!!

I really love this punch and co-ordinating punch set.



This is a gift card holder.


We made a 3x3 note card holder with 4 note cards. They really loved it!



Since this class was held in the clubhouse where I my daughter lives, she came by with the baby and they both stamped!

Next class in on Thursday, January 7th from 10-12 noon. Call me to RSVP!!
