Easter projects class with petal cone diecut

Since Easter is only a month away, I designed 2 Easter projects that the class can make that would match each other - a card and petal cone. 

I used Stampin' Up's petal cone diecut with blushing bride paper from the Patterns designer series paper stack, and decorated it with melon mambo pompom trim and SaleABration's Ice Cream Parlor designer series paper and ribbon.  A scrap of contrasting paper was cut for the scallop half-circle piece for the "front" of the cone. 

Class participants will now have a choice - to either make the carrot from the petal cone diecut, or a flower cone!! 

An Easter jellybean treat bag - transformed!

In my earlier post where I showed the carrots made from Stampin' Up's petal cone diecut, you might have seen the bunny treat bags I made at the same time....lots of them! 

Iris folding cards; Easter purse card and hat; fancy fold card

I have been intrigued by the Iris Folded technique, but never tried it on my own - just looked at pictures and directions on how to do it.  It seemed simple enough...but I finally got to learn how to do the iris folded technique with some ladies who had done it before, so I had lots of help!   Here are the 3 cards we made.

Spring blossoms card with inlaid embossing - details/tutorial

What a great neighbor we have!  This weekend she brought over homemade cookies for us YUM!!  This is the second time she has done this - so I just had to make a card for her. 

And I was able to combine a Sudsol design challenge and swap cards as well. That has got to be a first for me - fulfilling 3 needs with one card...Well, actually I ended up making 3 cards and loved all 3 of them. 

Pics of card displays at stamp convention

There was a weekend stamping convention this month in town. Since I had never been to it, I was able to get 2 free tickets and check it out!  Here are some pictures of the creative card displays.

 

Lots of carrots made using petal cone diecut and our "carrot" dog

As part of the celebration of National Nutrition Month (March), and since I have been seeing what sort of projects I could make with my new Stampin' Up petal cone diecut, I wanted to try making a nutritional project with it:

Here is what I made!

How do you like them carrots?!
