DCBD challenge #118

Hey everyone,

It is Wednesday and time for another Diva’s Coffee Break Design challenge. Our challenge this week was to make something using the Big Shot. I have a million ideas for that so it was hard to narrow it down to just one.

I have been playing around with the quilt card technique ever since my upline Melissa Ellis showed it to me the other day . I just love how cool this looks.

For this one, I textured the bashful blue piece with the little dot background and then punched out 12 squares with the 1 1/4 inch punch. Then mount those onto a 5 x 3 3/4 sheet of white cardstock. Flip it over and run it through the big shot with the top note die underneath and there you have it. Wrap the finished piece in our yummy organza ribbon and you are all set. The B (for baby) is from the Lovely Letter alphabet. This would make a perfect baby announcement card. All of my club members will get to make this card in class this month.  Don’t forget to check out all the other diva’s designs at http://www.divacoffeebreakdesigns.blogspot.com/

   Very cool Lisa. Wouldn’t this be fun at Christmas with reds and greens and whites? I don’t know what possessed me to think of Christmas already!!! I think I need some really warm weather again. Not just a tease like this weekend.

    I love your Big Shot challenge card! In addition to being an artist and SU demonstrator my mother and I are quilters. I just finished a class using SU designer papers to make quilt blocks. I may have to add your idea into my quilt cards )
