I was really chuffed to find the gorgeous coordinating chicken and bunny Easter cookies to pop in each of these bags.  Check these out...

You have already seen the Parisian Blossoms Wedding Card that I taught at both the Tauranga and Hamilton Extravaganzas...

Jacque Williams also taught a the Tauranga and Hamilton Extravaganzas.  She showed off the elegance of her Beautiful Moments stamp set on this lovely pop-up card...

Rhonda Fawcett taught everyone at the Tauranga Extravaganza how to make this fun slider card using the fabulous Birthday Bonzanza Suite...

And when you pull on the ribbon at the top, the message slides out and the koala moves up the card front...

The final project at the Tauranga Extravaganza was designed by Jacque, but taught by all the teachers.  It is a lovely masculine card that features the amazing Mountain Air stamp set and coordinating Majestic Mountain Dies.  The front uses the Stitched Nested Labels Dies to create a layered frame for the stamped scene...

At the Hamilton Extravaganza, we also had a masculine card.  Christine used the Country Club Suite for this fabulous card and showed everyone how to create a fun peep-through window...

This card has a fun opening...

Bev Poultney had everyone create this pretty pop-up card using the lovely Best Dressed Suite.  She also taught how to stamp a reverse image to get a pair of shoes...

This last project, which Ruth Hickey taught at the Hamilton Extravaganza, is a Flip Flap Shutter card that is so perfect to show all the lovely critters in the Birthday Bonanza Suite.  Here it is closed...

And when you pull on the ribbon tab at the side, the shutters open!
