Big Shot / Big Deal Class

December 30, 2008

We had such a great time last night! It was the first meeting of our Big Shot Club  and here’s a little look at the projects we made….

The small thank you card in front goes into the scallop envelope on the card to the left. I thought it was a fabulous way to write a small thank you! The other card uses the small pennant on the pennant die and I learned it from Patty B., a very creative Stampin’ Sista!

I just had to share our cute creations. If you’d like more info about this club choose Events/Clubs above and you’ll see a page for Big Shot / Big Deal Club. We only have a couple spots remaining for this round so hurry if you want to join us. Next meeting is January 20th at 6:30 pm.

Surprise!

I am so happy to report that this box did indeed trick the recipient! One special husband ordered the items he was told for Christmas and we managed to keep it a secret! Dotti manages to find out everything so this is a huge feather in my cap :)

Hope you enjoy your goodies Dotti! You know I love you!

Love you much!

December 24, 2008

Hope that you and yours are enjoying this holiday season. We are lucky enough not to have to travel today or tomorrow. Today we have all to ourselves and it’s awesome! The girls and Patrick are baking/decorating some cookies right now, I’ve been wrapping presents!

One lucky gal has this lovely present under her tree full of SU! goodies today! Hope you enjoy it Tammy!

And here’s a close up of the bow and tag - I was so pleased with myself! I made the tag using the Big Shot with our *exclusive* Top Note die out of the same wrapping paper - how smart am I? And then since the top note is perforated I ran another using Confetti White so I could trim it and use it for a greeting.  The snowflake is also a die cut with a little glue pen action and Dazzling Diamonds! Everything needs a little sparkle <wink>

Oh and the ribbon and wrapping paper are all from SU! - retired from 2007 Holiday Mini. I love the ribbon it’s so luxurious mabye we’ll see it again one day.

I’m off to wrap more presents - Merry Christmas to you!

Another Let it Snow idea

December 23, 2008

Did you mean to send holiday cards but ran out of time? Don’t worry you aren’t alone! With the stress that leads up to Christmas it’s hard to find time to get it all done. For this reason some people have started sending cards after Christmas to start the new year.  I think this is a great idea and allows you to relax while creating at the same time. A non Christmasy stamp set is perfect and I love Big on Christmas. Here’s another idea for a card (along with directions).

Stamps

  • Big On Christmas stamp set
  • Jolly Stampin’ Around wheel

Paper

  • Bashful Blue card stock
  • Riding Hood Red card stock
  • Whisper White card stock
  • Bashful Blue Patterns Designer Series paper

Ink

  • Bashful Blue Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Basic Gray Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Garden Green Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Only Orange Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Riding Hood Red Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • Jet Black StazOn pad
  • VersaMark pad

Accessories

  • Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter
  • Riding Hood Red 3/8″ taffeta ribbon
  • Silver brads
  • Stampin’ Dimensionals
  • Blender pens
Instructions
  1. Wheel Jolly image in VersaMark ink along bottom edge of Riding Hood Red card.
  2. Adhere Bashful Blue Patterns Designer Series paper to card. Attach three Silver brads to card.
  3. Tie Riding Hood Red taffeta ribbon around front of card.
  4. Stamp “Let it snow” image in Jet Black StazOn ink on Whisper White card stock. Watercolor image with Bashful Blue, Basic Gray, Garden Green, Only Orange, and Riding Hood Red ink using blender pens.
  5. Apply Dazzling Diamonds Stampin’ Glitter to letters.
  6. Adhere image to Bashful Blue card stock using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Adhere Bashful Blue card stock to card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Happy Birthday Uncle Moo!

December 22, 2008

My youngest brother is celebrating his 22nd birthday today so I wanted to make sure he knew we were thinking about him. Audrey is very upset that she “missed his party” :) Little does she know that the kind of parties college kids have aren’t the same she has - if you know what I mean! But we love you Uncle Moo and miss you terribly! Sorry we couldn’t be with you today <HUGS>
