Sade my beautiful grand daughter

The DSP used is from the Elegant Soiree range on p. 127 of the current catalogue and matched that with soft suede card stock. Used the scallop trim boarder punch, paper daisies p. 140 and cut the other embelishments using flower fold p. 155 current catalogue and island floral p. 21 mini catalogue, Bigz Dies.

Another scrap page finished - Caitlins wedding

I started with piroette pink and chocolate chip 12x12 textured card stock, then sponged melon mambo and chocolate chip ink onto a sheet of Specialty Designed Series Paper from p. 10 of the mini catalogue. The flowers and letters I cut out on the Big Shot using melon mambo, pouriette pink, and wild wasabi card stock. Then added some jewels to give it the Princess Caitlin touch.

January Workshop

Check out two of the lovely cards we made at the January workshop...

Happy Valentine's card.
The card was created using Stampin' Up's recent Valentines Special Promotion deal... Treats for your Sweets... Which was a wonderful pack which included Sweetheart Stamp Set, Full Heart Punch and the Heart Treat Cups.
It's a lovely little card that is easy to reproduce. You can even place some treats in the Treat cup if you would like to.

Faux Silk....
The formula for this beautiful little card is so simple...
The butterfly is cut out using the Big Shot Butterfly Die Cut. Faux Silk is the technique... Simply stamp a background stamp on a ordinary tissue... Separate the layers and then scrunch it up.. Take your piece of card board and cover generously with glue stick and press your crumpled tissue on. Then run it through the Big Shot to cut out the Butterfly shape.. and Whalah.. you have a beautiful simple card that EVERYONE will love!!!

Nette's Wedding Scrap Book Page

I recently created this scrap book page using the ripping technique and the Big Shot to create the butterfly and flower embellishments.

Come along to our next work shop or have one of your own......

My Scissor Charm

This scissor charm was made using 'Blossom Party' Original Bigz Die for the 'Big Shot Machine'. So easy to make, all you need to do is cover scrap chipboard with Designer Series Paper and run together through the Big Shot and voila! A lovely charm to identify your scissors. Why not make a special charm to mark the scissors you keep to cut ribbon only? No more blunt scissors when cutting ribbon!
