Another dress card made from the scallop circle die

Here is another dress card I made using the scallop circle die for the Big Shot. I am chomping at the bit  to see the new Stampin Up catalog so I can find out what new dies will be coming out. The Big Shot is by far my most favorite Stampin Up toy. It is addicting. I have used mine at least 10,000 times I think.  For this card I used the Walk in the Park designer paper from the Occasions mini and the Absolutely fabulous set. This was one of the cards we did in my clubs this month.

Box #2!

Here is a sample I made using the Big Shot Die Box #2.  When I first got it, it kept cutting the score lines but now that I have the extended crease pad, it works great! I just keep rolling them out. There are so many things you can do with them. I think these would make great wedding or bridal shower favors. For this one, I wheeled it with the Friendly Words wheel and then used the Great Friend set from the Occasions mini for the front pieces. I hope this set sticks around because it is one of my favorites.

One more quilt card

I just can’t get enough of these quilt cards. I love Stampin Up’s designer patterned papers. They all coordinate so well. It doesn’t matter which pack you do these quilt cards with, they always look fabulous. This is the Urban Garden paper which is one of my favorites. I also used the Pocket Silhouettes set for the flowers and the kiwi kiss satin ribbon.

Just Beachy scrapbook page

 Here is a quick and easy scrapbook page that my wonderful downline, Sandy Alexander created. For those of you that know me well, I do not really scrapbook very often, so I am always glad when some of my downline have scrappin’ classes so I can go make them or I would never get them done. This page was done using the Just Beachy set from the Occasions mini. This set would be perfect for all of your summer vacation scrapbook pages.

Cute Father’s Day gift card

This is a cute Father's Day gift card idea that my friend Colleen shared at the shoebox swap. She used the "And Many Mower" set from pg 20 in the Occasions mini catalog.  The inside of the card is in the 2nd picture. Use the word window punch for your sentiment and the slit punch to hold your gift card inside.

Winner of this week’s blog candy

Explosion box

This is another project from my shoebox swap. My upline Melissa Ellis created the original version of this one. It is called an explosion box. You start with a 7 1/2 by 7 1/2 square of cardstock and score it at 2 1/2 and 5 on both sides. Then you have to score the 4 outer corners in half on a diagonal. That is the hardest part. These diagonals have to fold  in towards the center of the box. Once it is scored, it is easy to fold up and then cover with the lid.The lid is a 4 1/2 inch square and score just a sliver less than an inch on all 4 sides.

This is the inside of the box with the lid next to it.

Photo flower bouquet

This project was created by one of my talented downline, Renee Caffee. She made this for her son’s teacher for teacher appreciation week. You could also do this as an end of the year gift too though.The card says "Thanks for helping us grow this year."

Quilt card

I am doing a quilt card class this week and this is one of the cards we are making.

I used the Bella Rose designer paper for the quilt piece and then stamped the rose from A Rose is a Rose set and cut that out. Then I added the organza ribbon and the jumbo grommet.
