My class attendees take home a treat holder with something sweet or adorable inside from each class. I love researching and designing these for them especially finding ways to upsize and change them for new treats inside. This was from my May Avid class where everyone took home the All Aflutter stamp set and punch bundle. These are 3" x 3" x 1" boxes. Aren't they darling? They hold a cookie or some chocolate. I found the "Made Good" mini granola bites which come with several in a tiny pouch fit nicely inside.

Draper Fun Fold with Bloom Boutique
Here's a fun fold I haven't done in ages: The Drapery Fold. Helps use up a third of a sheet of patterned paper as you start with 4 inches by 12 inches. You'll want to pick a sheet where the pattern on both sides compliment one another as this fold shows off both sides.
- Cardbase: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2"; score in the middle and burnish
- Hydrangea Hue layer: 4 1/8" x 5 3/8"
- Patterned Paper for the drapery fold: 4" x 11 1/2"
- Score along the 11 1/2" side at: 3", 4", 6", 7", 9" and 10"
- On the right side (where the 10" score line is), mark down at 1" from the top with a pencil.
- Cut from the pencil mark to the left 3" score line
- Fold accordion style (back and forth).
- From the short end (the end where your pencil mark is, cut off 1/4"

Designing with Circles
More with Circles! Use your punches or dies to create a fun background to show off coordinating patterned paper like the Moonlit Flora. My focal point on the white stitched circle is my favourite image from the Cutest Crew Stamp Set. Three quirky birds on the grass. Reminds me of the many birds swarming the bird feeder lately just trying to get some seed for themselves. The greeting is perfect for sending off to friends and family that are friends!

Frameworthy Floral Vignette
The Floral Vignette Stamp Set makes every project a work of art. An oval greenery border creates the perfect spot for various sentiments, while the floral vignette forms a soft focal point. Use them together, separately, or as repeating motifs to design cards and crafts that feel polished, personal, and frameworthy.
