Still thinking about purchasing the NEW Pop Up Dies?
The new Big Shot Pop Up Dies are a great way to add a whole new dimension to your card making. Just think of all the great birthday cards you can send out and surprise your friends and family with a cake popping up! Stampin' Saturday participants created wonderful cakes to share with friends and family on birthdays and wedding days.
Here is a video to show you how it works and to help with your inspiration. Be creative and decorate it – add embellishments to your cake or turn it into something other than a cake! I've seen a boat, a bunny, a castle… If you come up with something novel, please share it!!
Contact me for more information on this die or any other of the Big Shot products!
Look at this beauty!!! (Say it with an Australian accent and I'd sound like the Crocodile Hunter?!). I was privileged to have a small role in the creation of these special wedding invitations.
This is a DVD tin embossed with silver embossing powder so it looks like the metal itself is embossed! Using images from the Stampin' Up set To Have and To Hold, plus some custom stamps, this is a definite keepsake.
Oh, and yes, there was a DVD inside, plus all the info for the guests. I think the bride (along with family & friends) did a WONDERFUL job!
Thought I'd share this swap card created by my friend Sue. She uses the Stampin' Up! set Trendy Trees (on my wish list…) and the Good Morning Sunshine Designer Series Paper. I love the combination of Kiwi Kiss and Pacific Point with the Chocolate Chip!!! Lots of details on the card – the distressing on the circles (cut with the lovely new Circle Scissor Plus), the popped up trees, the faux stitching around the image and the Pacific Point corduroy button. All adds up to a "wow" card! It was great to get this in the card swap as I don't have this set…yet…lol
Happy Earth Day and Happy Professional Administrator's Day…
Another quick card from the mini Stamp a Stack from Stampin' Saturday. We used the image from Pun Fun (attendees got to choose which one worked for them) and then coloured in with stampin' write markers. I just used a bit of real red on the heart and some sahara sand for shadow. It's hard to see in the photo, but the larger white cardstock was run through the Big Shot with a Texturz plate. This example uses the mini dots but we also found that the larger dots were fun and tended to be even more noticeable. A length of real red ribbon around the bottom and then onto a Summer Sun card for contrast!
Thanks for looking. I'll be updating my classes and events page in the next bit so be sure to check back and see what's on!
