BIG SHOT IDEA TO SHARE WITH YOU...

Isn't this the cutest idea for a little baby shower or for a younger child's birthday! My upline and friend, Sue Brown (THANK YOU SUE!) shared this idea with me and she CASED it from another talented demonstrator...Lisa Young. Lisa has a tutorial on her blog and you can view it HERE.

On the card...the smaller train bodies are created with the DECORATIVE LABEL PUNCH. The larger train body is created using the BIG SHOT and the TOP NOTE DIE (below).

Thanks for stopping by and make sure to click on over to Lisa's blog and leave a comment!

Top Note Stampin' Up! Bigz Die

#113463 - $21.95
You can use the Top Note die to create cellophane bag toppers from any piece of card stock or Designer Series paper. Simply cut image using the die, stamp or embellish it, and fold it over the top of a cellophane bag (fold in half lengthwise for medium bags and widthwise for small bags). Voila! You’ve made a custom bag topper in no time!

Punch Fun Idea...

Today's card for our PUNCH FUN IDEA comes from Amanda Harbison...another talented Southwest Demo who brought this card for our Shoebox Swap a week ago today.

Friday's Spotlight...

Today's SPOTLIGHT is on some

Card Candy
For my monthly club meetings this month I made these for the winner of our "On time" drawings. It was a big hit and everyone liked it...and it's called Card Candy. Who wouldn't want a wonderful prize or gift like this where all they have to do is peel the item...a gift tag in this case, and put it on a gift. When using other sets - the recipiant just has to peel away and place the Card Candy on a card, a page, or a project for some instant gratification and some great bling that will add to any project!

Next time you need a fun gift...think about making some Card Candy!

I used the Tag's Til Christmas Bundle for this project. Would you like more information on these items...click HERE.

SUNDAY SHARE...

I hope your enjoying your weekend! Today I wanted to share a wedding card I created. I first used my BIG SHOT to emboss my papers with the different folders (Elegant Boquet & Perfect Polka Dots). I also punched an opening using the new Extra Large Decorative Label Punch, which can be found in the Holiday Mini Catalog. I took a length of approx. 8" of Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon and with my sewing machine, created a running stitch down the middle. I tied one side of the thresd off and then pulled one of the threads from the other side to create a gathering for a different look.

The sets I used on this card were;

Curvy Verses & Tiny Tags

Some of the embellishments I used were;

Vanilla Taffeta Ribbon, Linen Thread, Med. Jewlery Tag Punch, Extra Large Decorative Label Punch, Basic Pearls, & Vintage Trinkets.
Inks I used;

Early Espresso, Crumb Cake

Wednesday's Card or Scrapbook Page Share...

Today I have a 12x12 scrapbook page to share with you.

I love how easy it is to stamp on Designer Paper! Have you ever thought about doing that? This is a darling page that doesn't take alot of time to create, but still has those extra special details like a scallop border, ribbon, button, and tag!

Take time to create your own special page and try stamping on Designer Paper for a different look!
