Piggy Banks

Here are some adorable little piggy banks I made for my kids. Using the little milk carton die I made something that will visually help them how to split up the money they make, (Spend, Save, Give). They are sooo cute!!
I didn't adhere the back part, so it can be removed by taking the clip off. I thought that might be easier for getting bills back out.

Class Results!

These are some of the tea bag holders made by class attendees. They ALL turned out GREAT. I only have a couple pics. So happy they all look so good!

Top Notes

Here's a really cute and simple notecard, using the Top Notes Die, exclusive to Stampin' Up!

I made 4 of them using a few different papers and color combos. LOVE them all, don't you?!! Give me a comment or two (here or on my facebook page "Darby Jane Stamps") if you'd like to see a tutorial on this one!

May Class - Tea Time!

This month we'll be making this adorable little tea bag holder, perfect to set out on your counter! It's cute, and handy for making all that sweet tea this summer! It would also make an adorable gift. As with all my classes, once you attend you will get the instructions to make this again on your own!

I will be designing a new "front" using the words "sweet tea" - instead of just the teapot, for those that don't drink hot tea. I'll post pics here soon!

DATE: Friday, May 20th
TIME: 7:30
COST (will include tea for the inside too!): $10 (if you bring your own sticky strip) OR $13 (if you use my sticky strip)

I will be pre cutting and scoring this for you, so everything is ready to go! - we will be making the base out of choc. chip cardstock, and the paper patterns in either "Woodland Walk"  or "Greenhouse Gala". Take a look at the pics, and please specify which of these you like (IE which colors will match your kitchen - if none of these do, please tell me, we can work with other options, I have LOTS of paper!).

Please ask if you have any questions! Can't wait to see you there!!

Butterfly card

Something fun, cheery, and a little different.
Lacking motivation to edit this one and flip it around. You can see the embossing up close
See how it works? It's a see-thru card...the butterflies are on the top and the bottom, making them look dimensional, and "whole". A different idea I was testing out, and it looked pretty cool, I thought.
