Here is one more project using this great new tool. I apologize for the not so great quality of the photo. This is way cuter in person. Anywhoo (lol) this is actually a magnetic board that measures 5 1/2" x 7 1/2". <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Great teacher gift!</span></strong></p><p>Here is roughly how to make one yourself.</p><p>Start with a 5" x 7" piece of steel (not aluminum) step flashing. You'll find this in the roofing department of any hardware store. Here is a picture of what your looking for.</p><p>
<a href="http://www.forloveofpaper.com/.a/6a00e552a083948834013485b4a90c970c-pi" style="display: inline;"><img alt="Step-flashing" border="0" class="asset asset-image at-xid-6a00e552a083948834013485b4a90c970c image-full " src="http://www.forloveofpaper.com/.a/6a00e552a083948834013485b4a90c970c-800wi" title="Step-flashing" /></a> <br />Even better this package containing 10 sheets was less than $3. I picked mine up at Lowe's.</p><p>Once you have your step flashing cut two pieces of cardstock or DSP to 5 1/2" x 7 1/2". Place adhesive all around the outer edge of one piece of cardstock/DSP. Lay the metal in the center and then place the second piece of cardstock/DSP over top, creating a sandwhich of paper/metal/paper. </p><p>From here you can decorate anyway you like. I chose to use the Corner Rounder, ad a couple of deocrative strips of cardstock and the super cute Two Step Owl. I finished off the project by using the Crop-a-dail to add two jumbo eyelets and some 3/8" twill tape as a hanger.</p><p>I still need to come up with some cute magnets to go along with it, then I'll have the perfect little teacher gift.</p><p><strong>Give this a try it's super simple and fast.</strong></p><p><strong>Supplies</strong></p><p><strong>Stamps: </strong>none</p><p>Inks: Early Espresso</p><p>Paper: Basic Black, Early Espresso, Whisper White, Sahara Sand, Olive DSP (retired), Cherry Cobbler and Daffodil Delight</p><p>Other: Two Step Owl Punch, Scallop Trim Border, Stamping Sponge, Sticky Strip, Jumbo Eyelets and 3/8" Twill Tape.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 18px; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 18px; font-family: Georgia;">To order any of the supplies used in this project <br /></span></span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 18px; font-family: Georgia;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-size: 18px; font-family: Georgia;"><a href="http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/catwing/">click here</a>, then click on <em>Shop Now</em> or contact me today.</span></span></p></div>

If you have small children you won't want to miss this project. It is super simple and very fast for a hand made treat holder. You're friends will thank you for showing them such a useful project. Or if Halloween isn't your thing there are more choices below.</summary>

<p>If you've ever thought about hosting a Stampin' Up! Workshop but had some questions here are the answers to some of the most common questions I'm asked.</p>

<p><strong>Q. Does it cost anything?</strong></p><em><strong><span style="color: #c00000;">A. No, workshops are always FREE for you and your guests.</span></strong></em><p><strong>Q. What do I have to do?</strong></p><em><strong><span style="color: #c00000;">A. Email me a list of friends and family you'd like to invite. I'll take care of the invitations.</span></strong></em><p><strong>Q. I don't think I have enough room in my house for a workshop, what should I do?</strong></p><em><span style="color: #c00000;"><strong>A. Host it at my house. This means no cleaning for you!</strong></span></em><p><strong>Q. What do I get for hosting a workshop?</strong></p><span style="color: #c00000;"><em><strong>A. A little gift from me for hosting, free Hostess only stamp sets and an SU! shopping spree based on the retail sales at your workshop.</strong></em></span><p><strong>Q. What is a qualifying workshop?</strong></p>

<p><span style="color: #c00000;"><em><strong>A. To earn the extra $25 in FREE product your workshop sales must be at least $350. Normal hostess rewards for this amount of sales is $40, but with the special you'll get $65 plus two free hostess exclusive stamp sets!</strong> (However free hostess stamp sets and free product begin when your retail sales reach $150.)</em></span></p>
