Hello Creative Friends,
Today I’m sharing a card on which I used the Scallop Trim Border Punch.  This is one of the products you can earn free from Stampin’ Up!’s Sale-a-bration promotion.  The wording is from Whimsical Wordsstamp set, another product that you can receive through Sale-a-bration.

This punch has a very delicate design so you do have to line the punch up exactly as you go around the edge of your card stock or paper.  Just be patient with it and take your time and you’ll get good results.  It took me a little practice before I got the hang of it.

Supplies Used:

Whimsical Words Stamp Set (2010 Sale-a-bration)
Chocolate Chip Card Stock
Pretty In Pink Card Stock
Certainly Celery Card Stock
Bashful Blue Card Stock
Chocolate Chip 5/8 Satin Ribbon (2010 Mini Occasions)
Scallop Trim Border Punch (2010 Sale-a-bration)
Designer Label Punch
1 3/4 Circle Punch (sliver cut off on each side)
Paper Piercing Tool
Chocolate Chip Ink Marker(faux stitching)

Enjoy your creative day!

Hello Creative Friends,
These are heart boxes done with the Bigz Petal Card Die for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.  You can see the general directions in my previous post where I made some Valentine ones.   I thought they’d be a great project for Mother’s Day as well. 

Don’t you love how these turned out in Stampin’ Up! Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper?  The flowers on these are made with the Blossom Party Die for the Big Shot.  The flowers are put together with a Rhinestone Brad.

Below is a photo of the side view.  A few candies or any small item can be placed  inside.  These measure from the flat side to the tallest point on the heart approximately 3 1/2 in height.

Supplies Used:
Petal Card Die (for the Big Shot)
Blossom Party Die (for the Big Shot)
Cottage Wall Designer Series Paper
5/8 Whisper White Organza Ribbon
Rhinestone Brad

Enjoy your creative day!

Hello Creative Friends,
Today I’m sharing a fun little project with the Petal Card Die for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine and some of our Sending Love Designer Series Paper.  These little heart boxes are filled with a little paper filler and some Hershey’s Valentine Kisses.

For these you need two cut-outs from the Petal Card Die for the Big Shot.  Just fold two consecutive petals flaps on each at the score lines.  Adhere these together to form a heart (see photo below). 

Add a piece of 1 1/4 x 5 1/4 strip of paper or card stock to match,  scored and folded in the middle (2 1/8).  Line it up at the bottom point of the heart first and adhere to make your sides.  You do have to be pretty exact when you line up your petal flaps to begin with so that the sides fit together correctly. 

Then just add two punch holes through both layers at the top of the heart to pull ribbon through and hold it closed.

Supplies Used:

Petal Card Die (for the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine)
Sending Love Specialty Designer Series Paper (2010 Occasions Mini)
Pretty In Pink Satin Ribbon (2010 Occasions Mini)
Real Red Satin Ribbon (2010 Occasions Mini)
Candy or items to fill your heart box.

My next post will have these little heart boxes done up for Mother’s Day so watch for that.

Enjoy your creative day!
