I LOVE my Big Shot

Hi,  For those of you who are not quite sure about the Big Shot and all it can do, I have added some info you might like to read.  I know because I was one of those people who didn't get the Big Shot for a long time because I really wasn't sure if I'd use it and then that meant I had to learn something new.  (and I was kinda afraid of buying something that would just sit there and I would never use it--I'm sure some of you know what I am talking about-hehe)  I finally did buy it and it is by far the best thing I have ever bought. And yes-I use it on almost everything I make.  So here is some info about the Big Shot you may or may not know.  And if you are sitting on the fence I hope this will help you make your decision.  Christmas is coming and what a great Christmas gift it would be.  Thanks listening to me jabber  I just really do love this machine. 

 HERE'S WHAT STAMPIN' UP HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE "BIG SHOT"
 The Big Shot is a sturdy manual die cutting machine used to die cut materials for use on crafts, home décor projects, and even clothing--it's a big deal! You'll love what the Big Shot machine, a six-time winner of Creating Keepsakes Reader's Choice Award for best die cutting equipment and dies, can do for you. From sewing to quilting to home décor, the Big Shot is the perfect tool for many types of craftingThe Big Shot works with ALL competitive dies, and the steel rule dies can cut through an impressive list of 50 different materials, including fabric, foil, and chipboard.

With the Big Shot machine you'll be able to cut and score 3-D items in seconds, and the projects will be ready for you or your friends to enjoy. Or create embellishments for cards, scrapbook pages, or any other type of project by cutting multiple images at once.

It's important to note that there are different types of dies.
  • Originals, Bigz, Bigz L, and Bigz XL dies. These steel ruled dies cut through virtually any material and multiple sheets of card stock and Designer Series paper.
  • Sizzlits dies. These dies are small and detailed, often creating scored or perforated details. These dies cut through thin materials, and multiple sheets are not recommended.

It's Christmas

It's CHRISTMAS in the heart that puts Christmas in the air.
Well,  I can't believe Thanksgiving is over.  Now we start gearing up for my favorite holiday-CHRISTMAS!  I love all the decorations, Glitz and Glam, all the people out getting all the deals and that's how we felt last night when we went out shopping for Black Friday.  Everything all decorated up for Christmas and everyone wearing there Christmas clothes, hats, & scarfs.  It was fun.  But today I am paying for it.  I'm so  tired it' is hard for me to get motivated today.    So this that being said- here is an easier Christmas card that really didn't take alot of time to make.  So if your making alot or even a little you can get the job done in a Jiffy. (just don't stay out all night before hand) hehe

Whisper White c/s #100730
Cherry Cobbler c/s # 119685 & ink pad  #126966

Snail Adhesive  #104332 $6.95 or refill #104331  $4.50  pg 177

Run your Whisper White cardstock thru an embossing folder.  (Pg 189 in the big catalog has lots of embossing folders to choose from -Petals-a-Plenty makes a nice Christmas folder)  I stamped the Heart of Christmas stamp on Whisper white and then cut around it to the desired size I wanted.  Placed my saying on top of some Gumball green and cut that out.  Punched out a scalloped edge using the Cherry Cobbler c/s. Used dimensionals to adhere saying to card.   Using Gumball Green I cut out a piece of paper 4 1/4 x 2  measured in almost an inch from the edge of the paper and in the middle of the paper marked a dot.  Cut in from the edge to the dot on both sides of paper.  To make the top one I layed the Cherry Cobbler paper on top of the Gumball Green and marked a dot in the middle .  And cut it out the same as the top piece.
Stamped the snowflake stamp with Bashful Blue ink and used the 1 1/4 scalloped punch.  Stamped the Merry Christmas with Cherry Cobbler ink punched it out with the 3/4 " circle punch.  Used a dimensional to adhere to the top of the snowflake.
Hope you enjoyed this card.  Pretty and easy to make.

HO HO HO Merry Christmas

Isn't this a cute Santa card.  I was on the Internet and I saw something like this but when I went back to look at it again I couldn't find it.  So I made it my own way.  Just loved the way it turned out.  And
I think Santa would like it too :)
His suit is made in Real Red c/s #102482.  I used Basic Black c/s #121045  belt and buttons.  The buttons I used the Buttons # 5 Sizzlits #113440-$4.95 page 191 on the big catalog.  His mustache & beard is made with Whisper white c/s # 100730-$6.95 for 40 sheets.  I used the wing on the Bird Builder punch #117191-$16.95 for his mustache and the Apothecary Accent Framelits in the big catalog pg 191- #127003- $24.95 for his beard.  His nose is out of Real Red c/s and his mouth is Pretty in Pink c/s but you could use Whisper White and just color it with any pink you already have.  Both were cut with the 1/2"circle punch pg 184(big book) $5.95 #119869.  I also used the snowflake embossing folder for his suit and belt.  His belt buckle is Silver Glimmer Paper pg 160 (big catalog) $4.95-#124005.  The shape was made with the 1 1/4" square punch-pg 183(big catalog) $15.95-#119065 and the smaller square is 1' Square punch-pg 183 $15.95 #124094.  (punch the smaller square first and the larger on last.  That way you can see how much paper you have on all the sides).
Remember, to use the Framelits, dies or embossing folders you must have a die cutting machine like our Big shot.  You can emboss or cut with any dies you get.
http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ItemList.aspx?categoryID=1056 
                             Pg 186(big catalog)  #113439  $99.95



Hope you enjoyed this card.  It was alot of fun to make and I have gotten alot of good comments from those who I've showed the card.  I'd love to hear your thoughts too.
Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

The New Stampin' Trimmer

I am so excited to tell you the new paper trimmer is here and today you can order it.

Introducing the new and improved Stampin' Trimmer! Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters-and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's a cut above the rest!

 Stampin' Trimmerhttp://www.stampinup.com/us/enu/23428.asp  
                      Check it out here and watch the video Stampin' Up has to help us.
                                                                     Your going to love it!  

                           The New Trimmers Features
  • An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
    • The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements. 
    • The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
    • The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts. 
    • When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
    • The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch. 
    • All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
    • The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
  • A full 12" cutting and scoring track
    • The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them. 
    • The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles. 
    • The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport. 
    • The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
  • Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
    • The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
    • Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring. 
    • The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
    • The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
  • Storage compartment under base
    • The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards. 
    • Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.
  • Product details: item 126889; $29.95
  •  
  • Make sure to check out the new paper trimmer....You're going to love it!
