Tool Box

How cute is this Tool box!  It is made with the Big Shot Die #2 (altered slightly)  There is two of them put together.  I've been wanting this tool set so when I had "Free" sets coming my way due to Sale-a-bration Sales I jumped right on that one!  This is one of the projects that the Big Shot Club will be making this month.  I think it would make a great way to present a Home Depot Gift card! 

Big Shot Club, July

How Cute are these!  This is the Milk Carton Die for the Big Shot.  This is one of the Projects this Months club members will be making.  Two Dies are used in this projects the Daisey Die along with the Milk Carton Die.  The new Designer paper Greenhouse Gala is so pretty you just have to get you some!  Also we used the new bitty buttons that match our new punch trio that is in the Mini Catalog!  Hope you'll order you the supplies and make bunches of these and give them to friends, It will make their Day!

Simply Adorned Charm Class Coming in September

Simply Adorned Charms are like Lockets-They open up so you can insert your custom Stamped images.  The frame surrounds tempered beveled glass on the front and flat glass on the back.  There's Glass on both sides of the charm, so you can display and image on one side or both.  You can create a custom heirloom piece that you'll never want to change, or you can swap artwork or photos in and out depending one your mood and your wardrobe!
I am having a Simply Adorned Class on Saturday September 4th 10am at my Home/Studio.  The class will include the 1 x 1 1/4" Charm and 10 front and back custom stamped images fro your char.  The cost of the Class including the charm is $35.  If you'd like to add the 24" chain add $12.80 to the $35.  If you already own the Charm and want to attend the Class the fee is $15.  Since this is a product based Class you will need to pay in advance so that I can order and have your Charm for you the date of the Class.  Class is limited to 15 and the Deadline for holding your spot is Saturday Aug 7th or when it fills. You can vie the charms on page 189 of the new idea book and catalog.  Contact me if you need more info
**Samples are not necessarily what the class will contain

Adding Texture

I am IN LOVE with the embossing folders you can use with your BIG SHOT!  What a great value!  Just $7.95 each.  One of the new ones in the catalog is the Vintage Wall Paper.  I played around with it by adding ink directly to the die and then running it through my Big Shot they others inked the folder with versa mark and ran them through.  Of course I had to try out the NEW Large scallop circle PUNCH.. If you have any questions about the rest of this post a comment and I'll get back to you

New Stamp Set

Two Step Stamping was something that fanisanited me when I was first introduced to Stampin Up! 6 years ago, Fun Fast and COOL.  This set Awash with Flowers.  You can find this on page 99 of the new Idea Book and Catalog.  This is one of the cards my "just card club" will be doing on Monday night.

Happy Stampers

How do you make people happy?  Give them some Ink and Paper and STAMPS!  This past week my Granddaughter, Niece and Nephew have been visiting, ages 4-5-&6  The big go to was the stamping supplies for hours of FUN!  Wanted to share that it doesn't matter how old or what sex you are that if you get that stamp in your hand and tap tap tap it in the ink YOU will SMILE!

New Idea book and Catalogs have arrived

Simply Adorned Charm

Several Months ago, Stampin' Up! introduced our Simply Adorned Charms.  You can put photos in them or create your own mini art.  I played today with my new stamps and new Designer Paper that will be in the NEW Idea Book and Catalog ready for order on July 1st.  This Charm is the 1x 1 1/2 size.  I will share with you the others I've created using Stamping, Punches and the designer paper.  These are very reasonably priced.  I've been pondering the date of when to have a class using these.  Look for details coming soon!

This one has it's EYE on YOU!

Another knitting project

Even though this is not made of wool I still think the little lamb on the tag makes a great presentation for a gift.  This one too is make of 100% Corn, embellished with SU's Ribbon and the cute tag, Miranda Received this one

Fun Ideas

These are two cards that were found in my "Stash" while cleaning my stamp room, and I realized I had not shared them with you.  I was so glad to know that the set "Hello again" didn't retire and will be with us for at least another SU year!  It is so fun to play with and I use the word "Hello" with other sets as well.  The Flower card is using the Big SHot and designer paper and the flower's fold die.  Can't get enough of the Projects that can be done with the Big Shot!
