The title of this post says it all! The holidays are quickly approaching (too fast in my book) and this is the prefect time of year to gather some friends and make something special! Last week, a good friend of mine hosted a class showcasing this tag project kit and oh! what a great time we had! This kit makes 30 tags (3 each of 10 deigns) and includes everything you need (except, ink, adhesive, and stamp set).
My project supply list:
Get ready my pretties, I am holding a class this Friday to make one of these super fabulous hats. It reminds me of the sorting hat from Harry Potter! I have one spot open, contact me if you are local and want to join us for a spooktacular time!
Tonight I am holding a class on how to make this adorable coffee cup carrying case. Perfect to hold treats, gift cards, small treasurers or even coffee! This gift is prefect for almost any occasion. The possibilities are endless!
I played with the Gift Bow Die and love the look of the double-bow, how about you?
To make the carrier, start with a piece of cardstock measuring: 5″ x 11″ and score on all four sides at 1-1/2″ and additionally at 3″ at both ends of the 11″ length. For the box tabs, I snipped on both of the score lines on the shorter sides crossing over the 1-1/2″ score line and snipping down to the 3″ score line. Cut off both of the outside corners. The handle is 1-1/4″ x 12″ and both sides are punched with the Scallop Edge Border Punch. The DSP measures 1-1/4″ x 4-3/4″ (2 of these) and 1-1/4″ x 1-3/4″ (2 of these).

Due to popular demand, I finally held my Christmas in July class last week and here are the projects. All the ladies in attendance received a door prize and got to choose one of the following prizes (i.e., stamp sets, ribbon, fabric and a punch) as well as a little thank you gift (Reindeer Poop and a Santa Punch Art).
In late November or early December I hold my annual Christmas card stamp-a-stack. The girls that come get to make 2 cards of each of the 5 designs and get a head start on making their Christmas cards.
Here are my projects from this month’s class that I offered – All About Stockings. We used some of the hottest new accessories from the Holiday Mini Catalog…Stitched Stockings! In this class the gals made a variety of different cards and gift items using the Stitched Stockings stamp set, coordinating Stocking Builder Punch, Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die, and other accessories!
Here are the cards that were made.
Here are the gift items that were made too.
Each year I have a blessing box for my stamp class attendees to make. This year, I made them as a special thank you for attending. I made the hexagon box using the mini milk carton die. I love how you can just use scraps of designer series paper to jazz up the boxes a little! Of course, I used the Spice Cake Product Suite to tie it into the class! The ladies loved them just as much as my one beagle (Sidney). Sidney got a hold of one of the boxes and was trying to rip apart the box to eat the “blessing mix” that was inside a Ziploc bag! I didn’t get a photo but she sure looked pleased with herself!

Last week I held two classes for my annual Thanksgiving stamp class. This year we focused on the Spice Cake Product Suite that is found on page 17 of the Holiday Mini Catalog. This class was in all honesty my all-time favorite! I know that the everyone that was in attendance really enjoyed these projects as well as spending quality time together.
Last week I held a spooky Halloween class. Here are the projects that we made. Super cute, if I do say so myself!
I wanted to share with you the cards that were made last week at my Eat Chocolate Class. Please note, as this was a class that I offered, I will not be posting which products were used.
I do want to share a few close up photos of the 3-D items that were made ~ too stinkin’ cute not to share them!
