Big Shot Class August

Guess it's time I got back to blogging. Missed a few days because I was so busy with our gift class. We had so much fun on Saturday, laughing, joking, and just having good clean fun. I have a tremendous group of ladies and I dearly love them all. They really enjoyed the 5 gifts that we made and I will have them on here as soon as I get caught up with other posts.
This was our Big Shot class in August. We had a terrfic time with it and everyone loved the projects. If you want to have fun and learn some new things you should really join us next time.

We made two cards and three boxes using the Big Shot and dies, embossing folders, etc.I tryed using an embossing folder on the Spice Cake DSP for the Grateful card. I used the polka dot one and it sure gave it a different look. I liked it very much and so did my ladies. The Happy Birthday card was done with the new Pennant die and came out so cute. Of course we had to use Basic Rhinestones for a little glimmer. We used the Box #2 die for the little basket on the right. We cut two and put them together back to back with sticky strip, then decorated with dsp from the Santa's Letters pack. The fall basket we did with the Two Tag Die. We cut 2 of them and put a strip in the middle, secured everything with sticky strip and finished with a handle secured with two brads. Last but not least we did the new Blossom Box Die. It is a little frustrating until you learn how to handle everything,(I made 4 before I got one I really liked) but now I can make a good one each time. It is a matter of molding and creasing your card stock just right and once you master that you can have a lot of fun with this die. My ladies said they didn't want to do another anytime soon. I think they will change their minds, they all did a great job and we had some really beautiful boxes when we finished.

Thanks for stoppin' in and I'll see you tomorrow.

Snow Much Fun

Blogger wants to fight against me this morning. That doesn't sound like a fun session. Anyway, Good Morning to you all! Sorry I haven't posted in a while but life gets busy.

Card class was so great again this month. We had 8 ladies and one was new. She really enjoyed it and plans to come back and bring her daughter. We used the new scoring tool and they all loved that! It is an awesome tool. So much easier to bend your card and have it look great!

I really like this stamp set. It can be used for more than Christmas. This card just says somebody likes you as much as me. Cute saying!

Stamp set: Snow Much Fun

Cardstock: Pool Party 4 1/4 x 11 and 4 inch square for punching the 2 3/8" scallop circle, Calypso Coral and the Two Tag Die with the Big Shot (use the small tag), Whisper White 4 x 5 1/4 and a 3" square to stamp the image on and punch out with the 1 3/4" circle punch. I used the Polka Dot Embossing Folder on the Whisper White and the Northern Flurry Embossing Folder on the small tag.

Ink: Black Stazon

Accessories: Pool Party and Calypso Coral markers, White Organza Ribbon

Thanks for stoppin' in and I'll see you tomorrow.

Gift Card Holder

I think this is the neatest gift card holder yet! I cased it from Laurie Gibson's card class last year. You use just one piece of DSP for the card itself and cut 2 tags with the Two Tag Die and the Big Shot. I then embellished it with a couple of circles and the cup cake stamp from the Sock Monkey Stamp Set. Birthday Wishes from Occasional Quotes is stamped on Whisper White and punched out with the Modern Label punch and mounted on a Decorative Label. Real simple to make but such a nice gift to give. The gift card fits on one tag and you write your sentiment on the other. It can be used for any season or occasion.





I am working on my project for the next Ustamp With Dawn and Friends event. I hope you got in on the Early Bird pricing. The 40 projects with matching cards and envelopes will be fantastic I know. Their are some great designers with a lot of talent participating in this event.

Must get busy. Thanks for stoppin in and hope to see you again real soon. I will have cards from my January card class to post for the next few days. Must get pictures taken. Til next time...........

Hugs,
June

Holly Jolly DSP

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted. I had to design my projects for Ustamp With Dawn and Friends and my projects for the Royal Blog Tour which starts on Friday. Pretty busy month with card classes and workshops etc. I guess no excuse is sufficient but I really had to say something for my negligence.

Anyway my grandson Gabe had his ninth birthday this month and I had to design a card for him. I decided to combine birthday and Halloween wishes together. I think it turned out pretty cool......... At least that's what Gabe would say!

It takes so little to make this card and it is so easy. I used one piece of DSP and a few scraps of Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive and Very Vanilla. The Two Tag Bigz Die and the Big Shot made the tags. I just love that die. You will probably see these on a lot of my cards from now on.

The Have A Fang-tastic and the little Dracula came from the Fang-tastic stamp set and the other sentiments are from the Level 1 Hostess Set called After Thoughts.

I think this style card will come in handy for most money or gift cards that I give from now on. I made one from the Lap of Luxury DSP. It has Life is Beautiful written all over it. I thought that would make a nice Bridal gift card or an Anniversary gift card. You can find the tutorial to make this card on Split Coast Stampers.com.

Thanks for stoppin in!

Have a blessed night!
