Framed Big Shot Project

 In this months "Stampin Success" a magazine that Stampin' Up! send out monthly to all demonstrators there was a similar framed big shot project.   I loved it!  I spent yesterday Cleaning/purging my stamp room and came across frames I had bought for some project and they were stashed in one of my cabinets.  So in the mist of all the Cleaning I decided to find my Stampin' Success and see what I could come up.  I cut a piece of Flashing and ran it through my vintage wallpaper embossing die. framed it, then Cut the "B" from the Alphabet set, ran it through the big shot.. The flower is one of the three sizes of "paper" flowers that are in the catalog and through in a couple of punched flowers that were from the scraps.  Add one of the cute fabric brads and I love how it turned out.  The best part is if you could have see the MESS I was working in when I made it.  I literally had drug everything out of my cabinets and it was all in the floor, hall and my office...

Let me know what you think!

Stampin' Up's Fabric

 I'm sure by now you know we (Stampin' Up!) carry fabric.  It is so cool that we do and this is one of the designs that also matches the Card Stock Sweet Stitches.  The fabric can be found on page 35 of the Occassions Mini.  This Landyard was made for me by my friend Linda Heller, Yep the Linda Heller of Stamping School.  She presented it to me in this cute box

 This Box and the box is also fabric!  I was thrilled to just get the box but when I opened it ....

The landyard was inside!  

It was just the other day that several of the girls were talking about girls that work where you need landyard at your work place.. This would be a great gift for one of those gals!

Chirp Chirp

 Thought I'd share something new we (my husband and I) have engaged on.  Yep We are going to raise Chicks.  And Yes we will have Eggs!  I've been working on a cute tag I can put on my eggs when I sell them.. I'll share that with you when it is designed.  But in the mean time, here's the coop!

 Coop

Still under construction... and this Southside will also have a walk in "greenhouse" which will also keep the chicks warm in the winter...

Here's the chicks.. Road Island Reds.  not all are pictured here but there is approx 65... It's hard to do a head count!  If you have any cute idea for my Egg Tag let me know!

Cross from Lattice Die

Who Knew, Well Dawn Olchefske did!  She has “The EYE”  She saw this Cross in the Lattice Die that is on page 206 of the IBC  #115958.  If you look at it at an angle you will see it too.  This makes such a beautiful Card.  This is one of the projects for the Big Shot Club this month. Dawn has a how to video on her blog  here is the link

I'm so glad she is so willing to share.. Hope you enjoy making one of these.

Remember you can order you one through me (if you don't already have a demonstrator) via email or on my on line store.  www.janburnett.stampinup.net

same layout different Card

 Remember the "Robin" card, well if you don't  look on the older post.  Well this is the same layout, but different focal point.  I used the flower punch and 3 of the circle punches.  I got this idea from a card that was sent to me from my friend Ginny, and she got the idea from a retreat that we went to.  Isn't it fun to take an idea and then make it your own.   This is one of cards that the girls are making at this month's "Just Cards Classes"    The stamp set is the "On your Birthday" stamp set in the IBC page 153.  The Scallop Square is the die for the big shot that has tow of the perfect scallop shapes.  This is the bigger one that measures 3x3.  Thanks for stopping by.  Hope to see you at one of my events soon.

NOW..... This is the mess I make when I'm creating ... I'm on my way in there now to clean it all up.  I'll take an after pic and post it.  I'll have to be quick, cause it doesn't stay like this for long.
