I made this cute little box using the Bigz XL Mat
chbox die with the Big Shot. The die also comes with three tags and that is what I used on my box (it is cut out of Rose Red). The paper is Island Oasis from the Summer Mini. I cut small strips of paper and covered the chocolate with it. It is a very easy box to put together and there are so many different ways to decorate the top. I saw a recent post from a fellow blogger who added a little easel card to the top. I will have to give that a try! Thanks for stopping by.

Here is another card using the the Bigz XL Fancy Folds die. It quickly makes a very pretty card! This time I used Cottage Wall DSP on Old Olive cardstock. I used the Elegant Bouquet embossing folder. I haven’t used this embossing folder in some time but it really does give a beautiful effect. I need to start using it more! For my sentiment I punched out Rich Razzleberry cardstock with the Modern Label punch and then stamped my sentiment using the same punch but in Old Olive. I just cut the Rich Razzleberry punch in half and it gives the illusion that it is longer!
Did you know that ALL of our papers are retiring in the big catalog?? It will be hard to say goodbye to some of my favorites but that means that the new catalog will have all NEW paper. I can’t wait to see what will be available! Some of the retiring paper is on sale, such as the one I used in today’s card! If you would like to see which papers are on sale, look on the right side of my blog under promotions and click the link called Accessories. If you would like to place an order you can simply click the Order Now button at the top of my blog or email me directly and I will take care of it for you.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

This is a card I made using the Big Shot and the Bigz XL Flower Folds die. It makes four different sized flowers. I didn’t use the largest one on this card. I also used the new Designer Series paper called Island Oasis which is now in the Summer Mini. For the textured design I used the Square Lattice embossing folder which is also used with Big Shot (this can also be found in the Summer Mini catalog). I made this for my Big Shot Club today. I have a group of women who are buying the Big Shot on the four month plan and they get four free classes from me! Today we are going to make this card along with some other goodies which I will show you in the next few days. Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Here is another pinwheel card we made at my Hostess Club a last week. I posted another pinwheel card a few months ago and you can see it here. For this card I used the Razzleberry Lemonade DSP and the card base is Razzleberry. The scallop oval and base for my pinwheel is Melon Mambo cardstock. These are fun to make and so easy!
I want to say thank you to all of the military men and women who served and are serving our country. Thank you so much.

Here’s another card using the Elegant Trio stencil. This time I used Elegant Eggplant and Rose Red. I think this is such a beautiful combination. Both colors are so vivid and it is quite striking. I also used the Perfect Polka Dots impression folder. This embossing folder was in the Occasions Mini catalog but can still be ordered (#117335). I love this folder and have used it for so many of my cards. It just adds such an extra touch to the card. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to email me (see the email button on the right side of my blog). If you would like to place an order you can also email me or go directly to my Stampin’ Up! website. Thanks so much for stopping by!
