There are so many tools in the Stampin’ Up! catalog that make papercrafting so much fun!! Each Wednesday, I will choose one to spotlight and for my very first one, I’ve chosen my VERY favorite, the Big Shot!! It is a die-cutting machine that doesn’t use electricity. With just a quick turn of the handle, you can do so much!! Here are two very similar cards.
The big difference between them is that I chose to use a Big Shot embossing folder for the one with the sentiment towards the lower half of the card. I use embossing folders all the time and this one, Perfect Polka Dots, is one that I reach for the most.
You can also cut shapes out with the Big Shot. I used it to cut out my flowers, leaves, and the Whisper White and Elegant Eggplant shapes using Framelits. If you look closely, you’ll see that I used the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder again.
I made this project in October using the Cannery Set Framelits to make a cut out shape and the cute little top for it.
Stampin’ Up! continues to come out with new products for the Big Shot. I could spend all day telling you how much I love this machine! The cost of the Big Shot (#113439) is $99.95 but if you were to purchase it now during Sale-a-bration and were to combine it with an embossing folder ($7.95), you would be able to pick out TWO free products from the brochure!
An even better option is to purchase the NO RISK Starter Kit for $99. Because it is the 25th Anniversary of Stampin’ Up! this year, you can choose $156 worth of products from the Stampin’ Up! catalog for $99! You would be able to get a Big Shot and other accessories!!! You would then become a member of the Stampin’ Up! family and be able to purchase Stampin’ Up! products at discounted prices. I mentioned that the Starter Kit is risk free which it absolutely IS! You would have three months to reach the minimum purchase of $300. This means that you can buy products just for yourself, which is what I did in the beginning, or you can invite your friends to a party! If you don’t reach the goal of three hundred dollars, no problem. No one will call and hassle you. You would simply be dropped. If this sounds intriguing to you and you have questions, email me! If you want to take advantage of this right now, you can go right to my SU! website and sign up! On the top right, you’ll see JOIN THE FUN! Click that and within a few minutes, you will be able to complete the sign up process. Be sure to have your catalog nearby so you can choose $156 worth of product for $99!!!!!

Last week I showed you a telescoping card and here’s another one I made using Fall colors. I LOVE this set, French Foliage. Here are a few projects I made last year with this set. Please ignore the big black exclamation point. I used to have a cute signature that is now replaced by that ugly graphic that I don’t know how to get rid of . This is a pretty easy card to make with the help of your Big Shot!
Take care and thanks for stopping by!

Here’s another card I made using the new Blossom Punch and Mixed Bunch stamp set found in the Stampin’ Up! Occasions Mini Catalog. I really love this stamp set and punch. There are so many different ways to use it! If you saw my lollipop holders a few weeks ago, you’ll notice that I made my card using one of those designs. My colors are Concord Crush and Rose Red. Love the combination!
Did you know that Sale-a-bration has started? For every $50 you spend, you get to pick something FREE, yes, FREE, from the catalog! If you would like to know more, please visit my SU! website or feel free to email me.
Thank you for visiting today!

I love this color combination! I never would have thought to use so much black on a card but I saw one by
Gretchen Barron using this stamp set and these colors. It really is a fun new set in the Idea Book and Catalog 2011-2012 called Button Buddies. I hope this inspires you to give this stamp set a try.
I will be participating in my first blog hop in early September! More information to follow soon. Hope you are having a great weekend!

I’m on a roll with my postings!! It is funny how you can start out making one card and end up with something completely different. That is what happened with this card although I am very happy with how it turned out. It was pretty quick and easy to make. I used my Big Shot, of course. The base is the Scallop Circle Bigz Die. I cut out the flower with Lap of Luxury DSP and Concord Crush cardstock using the Flower Folds die. I ran the base of the card and the middle flower in the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder. I love the look that dimensions give and used them on each layer. I love our pearls and thought they gave it a nice finished look. Thank you for stopping by! Please email if you would like to place an order or if you have any questions. You can also place an order by clicking the order button on the left side of my blog. It will take you directly to my Stampin’ Up! website.

Here is a quick card I made after seeing this card on Heather Summers blog. I had stamped “Got Merry” a few days ago but I wasn’t sure what to do with it until I saw Heather’s card. This cute set is called Got Treats and can be found on page 55 in the Idea Book and Catalog. Are you ready for Christmas yet? It will certainly be here before we know it!
