Love you Much Stamp Set

Here is another card using the top note die and the Heart to Heart punch.  This uses the Love you Much stamp set.  The ribbon is Stampin'Up!'s taffeta grey (#109064 $ 6.95).

Top Note, Button Die, Heart to Heart Punch

Still using the Big Shot!  These cards use the Top Note die (113463 $21.95), Button Sizzlet #5 ($4.95), and Heart to Heart Punch (113694 $15.95).

Welcome Frame

I made this frame for a gift exchange.  It uses the WELCOME decor elements (114745 Chocolate large $7.95) on the glass, and then the designer paper is placed behind and is interchangeable for the season.  I used the Big Shot, of course, to die cut the leaves and snowflakes.  I also used the Pretties (the flowers and pearls).  The frame is one I bought at KMart.  Finding the right size frame was the hardest of all.  I used strips of cardstock where I needed to piece the 12x12 designer paper together. 

Big Shot Box #2

This uses Box #2 die (
114518 $34.95) retired designer paper but uses current Pretties (the white flower and pearl).  The Big Shot just cuts it out and it only  takes a short piece of sticky strip to close it, and you are done! These make great favors or treat boxes!

Sock Monkey and Scallop Envelope

Yep, I used the Big Shot die cutting machine again to do the envelope. (scallop envelope  #113462 $21.95) I also used the Sock Monkey stamp set (#111552 $26.95).  I had a sock monkey as a kid, did you? This is retired designer paper but you could easily substitute current. The words are from a retired stamp set also. I added the closure after the first picture was taken by adding a dimensional behind the cupcake.

Pennant Die Christmas Tree, Criss Cross Cards

I made this tree last year using the Pennant Die after seeing the idea on maybe Patty Bennett's blog.  If I have the credit wrong, someone please correct me.  I put a picture of each of our 8 kids, plus one of Cal and me.  Not sure if you can see it or not but have stamped the tree with the swirl from the Season of Joy stamp set.  I have also used this die to make my Stampin'Up! banner shown earlier on my blog, and for criss cross cards.


.  This die is a Stampin'Up! exclusive, #113483 - $39.95.

Birds and Blooms and Top Note Die

This card was made using the Big Shot and the Birds and Blooms sizzlits dies (#113485 - $21.95), and the Top Note Bigz Die (#113463 - $21.95).  The Big Shot die cut machine is $99.95, #113439, and worth every penny.  I am so loving this machine!  The stamp is a retired Sale-A-Bration set that was free with every $50 purchased.  This year's Sale-A-Bration starts Jan. 5th and there are awesome free choices with every $50 purchased!  Contact me for more info!

Big Shot Top Note Die

Here is a little box I created using the Big Shot and the Top Note Die!  I used the cardboard backing that comes with the designer series paper (don't throw this away!).  I die cut 2 top notes (#113463 - $21.95) after adhering the Jack Pot Designer Paper (#113995 - $9.95).  I then made the cardstock box and lid and adhered the top notes to them.   I measured the Top Note and came up with the box size by going just a tad smaller and then adding 2 inches each way for scoring. The lid is 5x6 inches, and the bottom is 4 7/8 and 5 7/8 inches. Score one inch all sides. I glued the DP and Black CS to the DP cardboard packaging and ran it through the big shot using the top note die.This works perfectly for a deck of cards.  This was an item we made at a Big Shot class held earlier this year.  If you are interested in another class, let me know and we can schedule one!

Big Shot Baby Card

I used the scallop circle die and a texturz plate to make this card.  I will start showing some samples using my Big Shot.  This card was made at a Big Shot class I held.  I also used the alphabet strip, Naturally Serif die.  If you are interested in attending a Big Shot class, please leave a comment or email me to get on my mailing list so you can be informed of all upcoming classes, workshops, and promotions!

Stampin'Up! boxes and ornament

Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!  Made these boxes and ornament. The paper and ribbon is retired but you could use current.  The ornament just uses strips of designer paper rolled around a pencil and then inserted into the ornament. The boxes were just scored and folded without using adhesive, just brads.
