I love a CHALLENGE!
This card class was a challenge because I limited myself to just
STAMPS, INK, and PAPER!
No ribbon (except to close the box) brads, or glitter (*gasp*)! It ended up once I got the creative ball rolling, I had to STOP myself! I realized that after 4 cards I had forgotten the BOX! So we had a BONUS project! It was a really simple class and everyone commented on how EASY PEASY it was!
Thanks for looking!

This box is SUPER SIMPLE!
I used an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of Rose Red cardstock.
Along the 11" side, I scored at the 2 1/2", 5", 7 1/2" and 10". On the 8 1/2 side I scored at the 2" for the bottom. I cut out the small rectangle (at the 10" and 2" score lines) and cut from the bottom of the paper up to the bottom (2") score lines so your box will close. I stamped in versamark the swirl from the PRICELESS set. The tag is from the hostess set HOLIDAY BEST. Close the sides and bottom of the box using adhesive. Fill with your favorite goodie and close the top like a milk carton. Punch 2 holes using the rectangle punch and thread Rose ribbon through to close.

This little Zebra card was a piece to whip up!
I tore the white and mounted it on the black... plays tricks with your eyes!
Sahara Sand is the color of his stripes.
The Fifth Avenue Floral set is simple, versatile and ELEGANT! I love it! This was a simple card, even the ribbon is paper! I just broke down the paper fibers using my bone folder like you would if you were curling robbon with a pair of scissors, pulled it through a few times on each side of the paper and then 'smunched' (official stampin term) it in the area that was to be the middle of the knot and and then tied it in a single knot. I used Regal Rose, Old Olive, and Basic Grey.
The CIRCLE CIRCUS and SMARTY PANTS sets are so FUN!
The colors are Chocolate Chip, Certainly Celery, and Ballet Blue. I stamped the circles randomly
leaving the upper half of the white blank. I placed a strip of the chocolate chip
middle-ish, leaving room for the verse at the top.
This is one of my favorite cards we made last night!
I used a retired background stamp called FILLIGREE and a verse from ALL HOLIDAYS. Cardstock is Close to Cocoa and Blush Blossom. I sponged around the edges of all pieces and then layer together.
It really looks vintage! Super Simple!
