December Fancy Folds Technique Class

In looking for something else other than Christmas cards to make for December, I came up with these fun ideas.  These 3 projects are anything but a regular card; hope you can come to class and enjoy making them!

The pentagon-shaped ornament with the silver snowflake can actually be used as a unique gift box since it opens in the back.  It can be filled with candy, small jewelry and tissue or paper shreddies, or any other small item, then kept to be hung on the tree or just used for gifts again next year!

The small square box is made using the Stampin' Up Envelope Punch Board (so you know it's easy to do), and contains some cherry little matching gift tags.  It could also hold small notes and the 3"x 3" SU Mini envelopes if you'd like to make a mini notecard set at another time instead.

The snowman pop-up card is just too cute and dimensional to fit into an envelope.  Simply attach it to the top of the gift, and watch as the recipient "flips their lid" when opening the top pulls up the sentiment inside.  Once you see how easy it is to make, you'll want to duplicate this card technique for birthdays and many other special events! 

As with all my Techniques Classes, printed measurements and full instructions are included so that you can duplicate these projects at home.  Save the date and be sure to bring a friend!

Nov. Stamp@Home Mini Kit

With so many things to do for the holidays, wouldn't it be nice to have a project that's quick and easy to make up but still looks fabulous (and can even be used again!)?  How about this month's Stamp@Home Mini kit to fill the bill?  It includes four pocket cards that are perfect for a gift card, cash/check, a picture, or just a special little note.  These cards with their locking tabs are so special that you won't want to hide them, so each has a clear envelope that folds over to fit the neat and very trendy square card shape!

The 3 1/2" square gift box is easily stored in its flattened form, but when needed can pop open and be set with its bottom tabs to be 2 1/2" high.  Add a little tissue or paper shreddies, that special gift and you're done!  Or how about a cupcake or a few cookies since the box is made from food-safe material?  The bright cherry bow is easy to assemble but sturdy enough to last for many uses.

The Naughty & Nice Rotary stamp was used for all of the words and images shown, a pretty nifty little stamping tool that is so versatile!

All pieces are pre-cut, ready for you to stamp, assemble and adhere. Stamp a few or a whole bunch with friends and you'll be all set with time to spare!
(Pictures don't do justice to hand-made items; samples will be available to view at the next SAS class on Nov. 8.)
