Scrapbook Sunday

Before we know it, butterflies will be flitting to and fro.  Why wait?  You can created a beautiful butterflies scrapbook page in no time at all using the Big Shot and the butterflies die.

Butterflies

With the arrival of spring, I hear birds chirping and daffodils are poking out of the ground.  Before I know it, butterflies will be flitting through the air.  Here's a fun, spring, butterfly card.  You can always replace the Smarties in the center with Tootsie Rolls, lip balm or some other item with the same shape.

Love Butterflies

There's just something about a butterfly that makes me smile.  While I look out the window at several feet of snow, I'm dreaming of butterflies fluttering by.  I know that spring is right around the corner and I'll have to wait to see those butterflies.  Meanwhile, here's a butterfly card to tide you over until spring!

Candy Wrapper

Over the past couple of days, I've posted Halloween treat boxes using the Bigz Candy Wrapper die.  Today's example uses the Candy Wrapper die with a Christmas theme. It's a must have die!

Red, White...

At a recent class, we made this 2 minute Valentine's Day card.  It is simple, yet elegant.

Pop Up Cake

Have you ever wondered how to make a cake pop out of your card?  Here's a great video that shows how to create the pop up cake.

Gift Boxes

There are many ways to package small items that you make.  One way is to use the matchbox die for the Big Shot machine.  Here's an example of these boxes.

Dies & Fabric

Did you know that you can use our dies to cut fabric?  This works with the bigger dies, not the sizzlets. Here's a flower that Shelly Gardner made at convention using the Flower Folds die.

More Build-A-Bear

As I mentioned yesterday, there are also dies in the Build-A-Bear line.  Here's a chore chart created using some of the dies.

Razzle Dazzle BBQ

Last week I held a BBQ to unveil the new Stampin' Up! catalog to my friends & customers.   I took pictures of everyone there.  The lens fogged over and the pictures did not come out.  I did manage to take two good pictures, though.  For the first two, I used the pillow box die to created the utensil holder.  The last one is a picture of the cupcakes I served for dessert. What could be better than a burger for dessert?
