Big Shot Double Milk

I very much enjoy the new Big Shot Mini Milk Carton Bigz L Die.
This Die fits on a "regular" piece of card stock, rather than requiring
use of 12 inch card stock.

In this example, the card stock colors include Pretty in Pink, Chocolate Chip
and DP from the Sweet Pea Pack.   I cut out 2 milk cartons and used
Tombo MultiPurpose adhesive to glue them together at the bottom.
Additional card stock, trimmed with the Scallop Edge border punch, was
wrapped around these conjoined milk cartons, to strengthen this bond.
The DP was added around the center and to close each milk carton.

A tag was attached to 5/8 inch Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon.
This again, came together rather quickly and is a fun gift idea.

Beautiful Butterflies Mini Notebook

 
This is a fast, fun little gift project, using the Big Shot
Beautiful Butterflies Die.  Just cut front and back covers, 
and Designer Series Paper (Bella Bleu in this example).
 Glue the DP to the cover (and inside if you want to)
and wrap a ribbon around to form the butterfly body.

 
Cut out notebook paper with the Beautiful Butterflies
Die and Big Shot.    Punch through all the layers with 
your Crop-A-Dial.   Put a ring through the hole and you're done.

If you want to put the first initial of the person you are gifting
the notepad to, it makes it a personalized gift.

This really is a very fast little project!

Sweet Pea Things I Love

This is a quick treat back, using So Saffron and Sweet Pea
paper.   The chocolate image from the Things I Love set
was stamped as a background and a main image.  

Punches included the Large Fancy Flower (from the Occasions Mini), 
1 inch circle,   1 3/4 inch circle,  small oval and Scallop Edge.

Messages For Mom

 

I got some more new SU product from the Occasions Mini.  
I am currently enjoying the Messages For Mom Set (page 29).   It is so 
pleasant and very flexible in it's use.

The Apricot and Cameo Coral card stock components were
run through the Big Shot Finial Press Embossing Folder.
The Top Note Die was used to cut out a panel and I then cut 
that piece down on my cutter.   I stamped the flower image on
Lavender Lace card stock which I then cut out with the Extra Large 
Fancy Flower Punch (page 10).   The flower was textured by running it through the
Big Shot Perfect Polka Dots Folder.   The button in the center was 
pressed into Apricot Craft Ink and embossed with Clear Embossing 
Powder, to change it's color to coordinate with the card base.

The sentiment was stamped and then punched out with the Modern
Punch.   Lastly, Certainly Celery Satin Ribbon was added to complete the card.

So are you enjoying our big snow??

Hearts Valentine

 

This is another card that incorporates the Big Shot Scalloped Heart 
of Hearts Die.  I used Christmas DP,  cut out with the Full Heart Punch, 
layered on top of Whisper White embossed hearts,
  The use of a Perfect Plum card base,
 run through the Final Press Embossing Folder completes
the look.

Stay safe in the upcoming weather!
