Flower Fancy Favor

by | Jun 30, 2010 | Big Shot

Here is another “box” using the Fancy Favor die. This time I attached a flower to it that I made with the Circle Scallop punch. I’ve seen these flowers on numerous blogs but I am not quite sure where I found the tutorial. I always like to give credit where it is due but I truly don’t remember where I found this. The paper that I used can’t be purchased after today but truly it would look cute with any paper. Stampin’ Ups paper is two sided so that makes it very easy to get different looks. I love my Big Shot!

Butterfly Box

by | Jun 30, 2010 | Big Shot

I made this little “box” several weeks ago using the Bigz XL Fancy Favor die and the Big Shot. Recognize the stamp set? Yes, it is the Watercolor Trio again. I used Very Vanilla and Bashful blue cardstock. Again I used my Stampin’ Write markers in Bashful Blue and Old Olive.

I found this project at Create with Connie and Mary Summer Edition. I plan to make some 3×3 cards to put inside. It would make a great gift for someone!

Chocolate Box

by | Jun 13, 2010 | Big Shot

I made this cute little box using the Bigz XL Matchbox 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. If you would like to place an order, click the button on the right or feel free to email me!

Cottage Wall Fancy Folds

by | Jun 11, 2010 | Big Shot

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!

Island Oasis Flower

by | Jun 10, 2010 | Big Shot

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!

Elegant Flower

by | May 29, 2010 | Big Shot

I have been so busy this month and my blog has been neglected. I am a teacher and between Open House and report cards, I haven’t had a chance to play with my stamps like I would like to! I did have a Hostess Club meeting last week though and created this card for it. I used a stencil from the 2010 Definitely Decorative insert called Elegant Trio (page 11). You receive 3 stencils for $9.95. I used our sponge daubers to apply the ink from my stamp pad. I had a lot of fun making this! Tomorrow I will show you another card using the same stencil. Hope you are enjoying your weekend. Thank you for stopping by!
