I got these wooden clip boards at a local arts & crafts store. I took off the hardware, painted the edges and just covered with Elegant Soiree DSP. So easy & so cute!!!
More great teacher gifts!
Box In a Bag Purse

I saw this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers and just had to make it for my upcoming craft fair. The little purse holds eight 3 x 3 note cards and envelopes. I might have to make a few of these. They make great teacher gifts – teachers always need “thank you” cards!! I used the Elegant Soiree DSP and coordinating colors. So cute!!
Business Card Holder Video Tutorial
Posted in Video Tutorials on March 27, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I haven’t done a video in years. Frankly, because I suck at it and I hate my voice. But, I’ve gotten so many requests for how I did my business card holder, I thought I would give it a try. They work up incredibly fast and I think I will sell them at my upcoming craft fair.
Here is the list of supplies:
Sizzix Box #2
1 1/2″ circle punch – use for Whisper White circle
1 3/8″ circle punch – use for Pacific Point circle
Small scallop circle – use for Real Red piece
DSP Celebrations – strip around box measures 10 1/2 x 1 5/8″ (does not have to be exact on 1 5/8″ cut so your pattern looks good)
DSP Celebrations for back of box – 3 1/4 wide x 3 3/8 tall
Real Red for back of box – 3 1/2 x 3 1/2
Pacific Point 1 1/4 x 3 5/8 for inside bottom piece
Corner rounder punch
Real Red 5/8″ grossgrain ribbon
Glue dots
Stamp set: Hello Again
Ink: Real Red – verse, Pear Pizzaz for butterfly
Dimensionals – under scallop cirlce
Crystal Effects if desired is placed on butterfly.
May, May, the Lovely Month of May!

Well, wish it really was May!!! Here is the second panel for the upcoming Shadowbox Club class on April 6th. This class is full!
I know one of the squares is crooked. My card is broken for my camera so I had to load it into the internal memory of the camera and it’s a pain to do. I didn’t notice it until I looked at it on the computer. Oh well! I’ll fix it for the directions!
Don’t you love the owl!!!

At regionals yesterday, one of my guest signed up to be a Stampin’ Up! demonstrator. During the regionals, if someone signed up, both her and I got a FREE sneak peak Summer Mini set, Sunny Fun!!! Flip flops!!!! Love the set. I don’t have a current summer stamp set so it was a great day in all! Look for this in an upcoming workshop!
Back from Regionals!!

Had a GREAT time at the Hartford Regional Seminar today!!!! My whole team came as well as some great stampin’ friends!! It was a fun filled day of stamping, chatting and good times with good friends. I also did a Workshop Wow presentation in front of everyone. I demonstrated this cute little business card holder using the Sizzix box #2 die. It’s great to put on your desk or stick on a bulletin board at your gym. You can change them out with the seasons. I was so afraid that lots of the demos already knew the trick, but so many of them didn’t!! Isn’t it cute! Love the owl punch!!
