Pink Flamingo Creations!!

This past Saturday I had a workshop , here were some party favors I made. I love this paper and am not ready to say 'farewell' to summer. The colors in are just so bright and cheerful!~enjoy!

Here are some easy party favors made using the Pink Flamingo DSP (113976) and the Big Shot's Scallop Circle Die (113468). You could use a variety of treats inside and here I used Snickers candy bars. This would be quick and easy as a Halloween Treat using the Cast-a-Spell DSP (115677). Wrap around treat and secure with ribbon. Yummy!!

Here's an oldie but a goodie..Post-It-Note holder: I love using coasters for so many projects. Here I covered the coaster with the same DSP and slipped some matching paper inside the barrel of the RSVP pen which was covered with clear micro-beads, added a binder clip and ribbon~ (this became the door prize). Very easy!

To the left is the hostess gift made using a class that I purchased from Andrea Walford's Demo to Demo class planning service(this was back in April 2009) called Fifth Avenue Floral. I recommend her sight/classes. Very easy to follow directions and illustrations.

These two pictures give you an idea on how the card holder opened. Isn't it cute?? I can see doing more of these over the holidays for gifts. They are so stinkin' cute!! Lastly..these were the cards that went inside. Hope you all have a great day!! ~Erin

Card Holder

Okay...so I can't call this a card organizer right?? I already posted one of those and this only holds about 4 regular sized cards. Would make a great gift. It also doesn't have the months (I almost typed moths..that would be bad, they would eat the paper right??) (So no moths here)...posted on any of the pockets. Want to see the inside?? As you can see I used the Sweet Always DSP like in the previous post...hey it was already out on my desk...it's 'springy' and my Walk in the Park DSP from the Occasions Mini has not arrived yet!! So here ya go:

Start first by taping togther 4 large envelopes (these are retired SU! large envelopes that measure 4 3/4" x 6 1/2") overlapping the flap (the yucky part you lick??) BUT DON"T LICK IT...trust me use the tape!! Then as you see in the photo on the far right envelope fold back the flap and tape it to the backside. Sound good?? Still with me??

Now you need two pieces of DSP measured at 6 1/2" x 7 3/4". On top of that place a thin piece of chipboard or cardboard measured at 5" x 6 3/4" (TIP: save the white pieces that come with the DSP...those work great!) Cover with tape or mono adhesive. Flipped back over it will look like this: (Note I liked using complimentary colors, but be adventurous!) You can use anything!!

Then flip it over to cover where you folded and taped the DSP, here I used Chocolate Chip Textured CS measured at 6 10/16"x 4 14/16".

Now you can attach the envlopes which will fold up accordian style. See below: decorate and embellish adding the ribbon to close it shut, inside you can add the cards in each pocket! Enjoy and let me know if you have any questions! Stay tuned for tomorrow's post to see what I made to go with this card holder..I can't show you everything today..I promised myself and you all that I would be posting daily!! Have a great day!~Erin
