It's Hip to make Squares!

While I was in Fiji part of our share I was able to see some framed art done by Penny Thomas and also Glenda Travelstead.  Both of these girls are amazing!  I've been all over these squares ever since!  This one I used punches along with some Stamp Sets and some of the new In colors.  Pool Party is the back ground, and Baked Brown Sugar the other color used.  Neutrals of Basic Black and Very Vanilla!  I'm playing because I am going to do a Class on these cute Squares!  Punches used are Postage Stamp, Mosaic,Bird Builder, Boho Blossoms, Itty Bitty Shapes Punch Pack and Elegant Butterfly
Get out your punches and cut some squares and see what you can do!

Later today I played around with the In Colors for 2013-2015

Using the Hearts a Flutter Framelit Dies and My Big Shot plus the Corordinating Stamp Set Hearts a Flutter   I came up with this.  Any combo will do... Have some fun and Hope you will join me at my "It's Hip to make Squares!" Class

Making Flowers from Metal

 A couple of weekends ago I went to an Art and Music Festival.  A girl was selling metal flowers.  I have made them before but not like this.  I bought hers and decided I could do this with my Big Shot.  I collect costume jewelry, especially clip on earrings.  Decided to use some of them as the centers of the flowers!  This is the Fun Flowers Die.

Yes it cuts Metal!  This is Roof flashing.  I sanded it with Stampin' Up's  Sanding Blocks

These sanding blocks are the best out there.  Then I used our sponges and Ink and laid in some color.  I used Midnight Muse!

I'm hoping to do a video on this.  As you have seen I am testing the waters with videos,  I'm really new and raw at this.  Let me know if you've watched them and if you think I should keep keepin on.
Thanks for stoppin by.

Lattice Thank YOU!

Wanted to share this card with you that we did at our card class this month.  Very simple and and easy.  The Lattice die used with the big shot.

This image is sometimes hard to adhear so use the multi purpose adhesive sheets

Do for your paper projects what the Big Shot Fabric Adhesive Roll does for our new fabric—turn your Big Shot die cuts into stickers! Simply apply an adhesive sheet to your card stock, Designer Series paper, or other base material, crank through the Big Shot machine, and peel the backing paper off. Apply your die cut to any kind of project for quick and super easy accents.

■ 12 adhesive sheets, 12" x 12"
■ Add adhesive to die cuts. Simply apply card stock or DSP to the adhesive sheet, run through the Big Shot, peel off backing paper and adhere.
■ Not washable
■ Adheres in an instant with no lifting edges

This will be retiring from SU's catalog at the end of this month so if you want some order NOW

Have fun Stamping today!
