Top Note Puppy Basket

This is copied from a design by Fran Sabad - we thought it was a very cute and unique use of the Top Note die, so we did this project for Big Shot Club this month.  We made ours into a basket by using the Fancy Favor Box for the inside and adding a handle.  All of the pieces making up the puppy's face are from punches! 

Embossed Texture Birthday Card

Scot's younger son, Landon, celebrated his 14th birthday last Thursday, 2/17, and this is the card that Kira made for him.  It features the Bring on the Cake set from the Occasions mini catalog.  The entire background with all of the stars and larger circle were run through the Big Shot using the square lattice embossing folder. 

Recycled Treat Container

These great treat ideas were made using empty Crystal Light containers.  We thought the Artistic Etchings set and the Love Letter DSP provided the perfect images and color combination for an expression of "amour".

And, the container is a nice size to include plenty of chocolate for the ones you love!  The hanging tag idea came from Chiaki Haverstick's (http://www.stampingpro.com/) beautiful card:

With Love & Caring

This card features the new Thanks for Caring stamp set from the 2011 Occasions mini catalog.  The front half of the card is folded back and then embellished with some Pear Pizzazz 1/2" stitched poly ribbon. 

Heartfelt Love

The I {Heart} Hearts set makes it perfect to express "heart"felt love!  The specialty DSP is from the Love 

Impressions collection in the Occasions mini catalog.  The "heartfelt" stamp comes from the Fabulous Phrases set.  Various punches were used for the heart images and sentiment.

Time for Thanks

These quick & easy thank you notes were made with left over 3 1/2" square Candy Cane Christmas DSP scraps.  The wavy DSP on the bottom was cut using the Big Shot with the Tasteful Trim die.  The sentiment if from the Occasional Quotes level 3 hostess set and then punched with the large oval punch. 

The Wicked Cool Stamp Set is Wicked Cool!

We just can't get enough of this great set!  We've incorporated a whole bunch of punches too - bat, scalloped oval, scallop edge, 1/4" handheld, large oval, 1" circle, 1 1/4" circle, and the NEW 2 1/2" circle and the decorative label.  The colors used are Rich Razzleberry, Pear Pizzazz, Pumpkin Pie, More Mustard, and Basic Black.  The ribbon is 1/4" grosgrain in Basic Black.
