Scallop Square Card

This was one of the cards we did in April's Big Shot Club.  We used the Bigz clear scallop square die for the Big Shot to create the inside folded card.  We used the Sunny Garden Designer Series Paper and perfectly coordinated Cottage Garden stamp set.  And, of course the color combination provided by the paper couldn't be more bright and cheerful for this time of year!

A Sense of Time Graduation Card

We have admired the Sense of Time stamp set ever since it premiered in one of the mini catalogs over a year ago, and we finally gave in and got it.  It lends itself to inspirational graduation wishes.  This is an easel card using the Bigz clear scallop square die for the big shot.  The color spritzer tool was also used to spray random color over the clock on to the front of the card.  The Happy Graduation sentiment is from our favorite Teeny Tiny Wishes set.

Punch Bunch Photo Display

This photo display was created using the On Board long board as the base for the project.  The Sizzix Big Shot scallop square die was used for the main elements/photo mat.  The images are from the Punch Bunch set, which is a Sale-a-Bration exclusive.  Like the accents of patterned paper?  Well that's a SAB exclusive too, but you can choose either one with your $50 Stampin' Up order!  The words are from the Fabulous Phrases set.  We'll be doing this project at our February Sale-a-Bration workshop on Sunday, February 27th.  If you're located in the Las Vegas area, and interested in attending, please e-mail us for information!    

Mojo Monday Week #177 Challenge

Here's a simple card for this week's Mojo Monday challenge, which incorporates a stamped image from the Sale-a-Bration set Punch Bunch, as well as some of the paper and die-cut adhesives from the Ice Cream Parlor DSP pack.  The Daffodil Delight scallop square was embossed with the Stampin' Up! exclusive Petals-a-Plenty folder.

Glimmer Hearts Tree

We had a bunch of scraps of glimmer paper left over from the cherry die cut on our birthday cupcake card, so we decided to punch hearts out and that gave way to this idea.  The tree image and sentiment are from the Season of Friendship set.  The scallop square was cut out with the Big Shot, as were the tags.  The larger tag is from the matchbox die and the smaller is from the Lots of Tags Sizzlits 4-pack.  The stamp-a-ma-jig was used to position the sentiment onto the tag.  The pinking hearts border punch was used on the chocolate chip cardstock strip. 

Happy Saturday!

As you have seen from our projects here, we LOVE the Big Shot!  This card was made using the scallop square die and then layered with polka-dot embossed cardstock strips.  The variety of patterned hearts are from the I {Heart} Hearts set.  Although the "from the heart" sentiment is from a retired set, a different sentiment can easily be substituted.  The Early Espresso satin ribbon is embellished with a few basic pearls.

Do Not Open 'til Christmas

What's in the box?  Holiday greetings, of course!  Here it is on Black Friday, and what better way to package up those great deals than in a beautiful handmade box.  Or, these are a perfect size for homemade treats - a stack of delicious cookies or yummy white chocolate popcorn!  The possibilities are endless.  We got this great idea from Chiaki Haverstick at stampingpro.com  She even listed directions for making the box, and our favorite part was that she made the lid using the scallop square die for the Big Shot!  Our box incorporates the Jolly Holiday DSP (which is currently available in a bundle with the Contempo Christmas stamp set for 20% off!) and the stamp is from the Tags 'til Christmas set.  You better get busy with your holiday preparations now, it's never too soon! 

It's SEW Easy!

Well, yes, it would be 'SEW EASY' if we knew how to sew!!!  OK, so we cheated and used strips of the new Big Shot multipurpose adhesive sheets to adhere two scalloped squares cut out of the new Designer Fabric using the Big Shot!  "It cuts material", you ask?  OF COURSE, the Big Shot cuts over 50 different types of materials (check with us for the list).  We agree that it would be a quick project for those of you who sew, as you could whip many of these out in minutes!  What a great gift idea!  There is one of our medium flat cello bags tucked inside filled with snack sized Hershey bars, and tied up with our coordinating ribbon.  Each of our Designer Fabric bundles have three designs, all of which coordinate perfectly with the Designer Series Paper of the same name.  The striped material is from the Candy Cane Christmas bundle, and the other one is from the Deck the Halls bundle.  The tags were stamped using our new Tags til Christmas set in the Holiday mini catalog.  The Tags til Christmas set makes it easy, as all of the images coordinate with punches!  This is another project that we'll be doing in our Big Shot club this month.
