Beach Boardwalk DSP Pen Holders

 


Now that Onstage is over, I can share with you some of the gifts I made for this event! 


A Paper Pen holder is a fun way to use up your pretty paper and give as a small gift! 

You can make it too with these measurements! 

Measurements
DSP: 6" x 6" 
Score @ 1 1/2", 3", ad 4 1/2"

1. Fold the top right corner and bottom right corner to the first score line to create a triangle.
2. Fold the top left corner to the second score line. 
3. Fold the DSP on the score lines and use adhesive or ribbon to secure the back tab. 



Happy Stampin' Everyone!!!

I created this honey Fun Fold using the DSP and fussy cut the honey bear. 
This card was part of my Mega Stamp Camp and there is still space available for the Live Facebook event this weekend (kits are no longer available). Click HERE for more details. 



I used the DSP for the panels and for the bottom of the mini card. 
I even used the embellishments to have the 3 dots by the honey bear. 



I used the stamp for the greeting and for the jar of honey in the corner of the inside of the card. 
The only dies I used was the spoon top and the jar opening to slide the spoon into. 
The only thing I didn't use part of this suite was the ribbon and embossing folder. 

Be sure to keep on hoping to see even more on Stampin' UP! Online Exclusive Products!
Up next is a Stampin' friend from Austria!
