Stampin' Up! Easter Blossoms Set

Stampin' Up! Easter Blossoms SetCan you believe that I didn’t really like this set the first time I saw it?  Well, I got over that!

This simple geometrical layering and side tied bow make a faster card than you think.  Cut a bunch of the layers and you can put together 10 of these pretty quickly!

This set, Easter Blossoms, from Stampin’ Up!’s Occasions Mini Catalog is available through April 30th.

Below are the materials and supplies and the dimensions of the layers… let me know what you think!  Happy stamping!

Big Shot Envelope Die Box

Thursday, December 11th, 2008

 An early little holiday gift for you guys!  How about a visual step-by-step on how to make one of these boxes?

The only thing I left out is that if you are cutting more than one envelope at a time, you really need a crease pad!  It is a sponge pad that goes in front (well, behind the paper) of the cutter, and then is covered by the acrylic board.  So, the ‘sandwich’ goes:  die>papers>crease pad>acrylic board, and then run through.  There isn’t room for the 2nd acrylic board.

I have to photograph the holiday one I just made… look for it tomorrow!  Enjoy!

Eat, Drink and Be Scary Halloween Treat Bag

Friday, October 17th, 2008

Isn’t the candy in this bag awesome?!  I got it at the local Giant supermarket, it is chocolate shaped like body parts (my favorite is the eyeballs)!  The Top Note Sizzix die has a ‘stitched’ border about 1/8 in inside that I cut off for the orange DSP so that you can see the black layer  a ‘matted’ look.
