Reverse Masking

This is a technique called reverse Masking  It's so easy and really make a big statement.  Adds  dept without bulk.  This is another one I was playing with yesterday using the set Charming and the new color Cajun Craze with Crumb Cake.  I'm loving my new Color Coach!  It really helps get those creative juices flowing.  Let me know what you think.

Let's Celebrate!

Oh MY!  I have had such fun playing with things to do with this bear from "under the stars" set!  I incorporated the accessories (balloon, hat and gift bag) from the "Beary Best Friends" Set on page 85 of the new catalog.  The "lets celebrate comes from the "Family Phrases" on page 90.  I even borrowed the glasses from the "All in the family set.. Too FUNNY!  Thanks for stopping by!

Creating for Camp and Card club

Spent most of yesterday playing in my stamp room creating designs for Camp and for card Club.  Thought I'd share some of what I've been working on.  The New Green House Gala Designer paper is BEAUTIFUL  I love it!  I've used this "Charlie Brown shirt" design with the fox and friends having the larger scallop circle punch is the best thing since sliced bread.  Let me know what you think

Inspired from the new catalog

On Page 132 of the New Catalog there is a card that using the embossed resist technique.  At our Last Demo meeting Tabitha shared this technique with all of us and did the card in the catalog.  I had done this before but had not done it in a while.  It was inspiring so I decided to do it using the butterfly die along with the Scallop Circle #2 die and the new embossing folder, Vintage wallpaper.  I'm loving the colors Mellon Mambo, Temp Turquoise, along with the new color Daffodil Delight.  I'm hoping my girls in the Big Shot club will love this as much as I do!

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!

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
