Big Shot Class featuring the "Top Note" die

I seem to have grown attached to this colour combo of Rich Razzleberry and Old Olive teamed with some Very Vanilla.  This was one of our creations at this month's "Big Shot" Class where we concentrate on using one of the dies to create 3 different items.  The class is designed to inspire you to get the most out of your Big Shot and dies.

This gift bag is just sooooo cute and there is enough room for a small gift or sweet treat for someone you love, if you can bear to give it away!!

The spotty paper is from the "Jolly Holiday" Designer Paper Pack, which of course, is not just for Christmas, the colours and patterns will suit many occasions.

The Flower was created using the "Fancy Flower" Punch and it is really pretty and quite 3D as we curled the petals to give a nice full effect.  The centre of the flower was created using the Boho Blossom Punch and the Itty Bitty Flower Punch.  We added an adhesive Rhinestone to finish.

The greeting is from "Something to Celebrate" which is one of the exclusive Hostess Stamp Sets and we stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock using Rich Razzlebery ink then cut a nice ribbon tail to finish.

It's a celebration!

A card that I made recently for Michaela who is one of my "Stampin'spiration" team members.  The butterfly, cut from the "Beautiful Butterflies" Bigz Die on the Big Shot Machine is something I have been using this month with a technique called "Stained Glass".  You will be seeing this in action at classes and workshops, it is so pretty and effective, yet simple to achieve.

The "Stained Glass" effect looks much better with a Whisper White layer behind as it shows the technique much more clearly and we have been doing this at recent classes.

If you would like to see a Demonstration of how this beautiful butterfly is created, why not book a party, earn yourself some lovely free Stampin' Up! goodies, learn and be inspired!

Double Slider Card

At this month's class I decided to do something a bit more adventurous and as Carol had given me some instructions on how to make double slider cards I decided to get a design under way and this is how it turned out!! 

I chose a Wedding theme as it's that time of year and wanted to use the new "Wedding Wheels" A La Carte stamp which is gorgeous.

The colour combo used is Crumb Cake, Soft Suede, Pretty in Pink and Very Vanilla.  The patterned paper is from "Springtime Vintage" which is adorable.

On the insert we stamped a wedding greeting from "Occasional Quotes" and also used "Confetti" on the left side for decoration.

I was really pleased with the final result and the mechanism inside the card is not as difficult as it may appear!

We punched out hearts using the Heart to Heart Punch and added Crystal Effects and Pearls to finish.
