I had an order last month for some little boxes for each person on the Christmas table.
The order was for white boxes with silver and sparkle. I’m quite pleased with how the boxes turned out. I’ve used the stocking punch and matching stamp set. The stockings have been embossed with silver embossing powder, and the cuff, toe and heel punched from the new Stampin’ Up! glitter paper. The boxes themselves are made with the help of the Big Shot and Top Note die.

Invercargill 13th &14th November 2011
Had a great weekend at the Southern Crafters Craft Market this weekend. The Top Note mini calendars were very popular and I received several orders for the Christmas boxes – in particular Mr and Mrs Santa. I also had fun playing with the new Candy Wrapper die for the Big Shot that is coming in the next Mini Catalogue available from 1st December.
Yes, the following cards have been embossed with the Big shot.
Material was adhered to Whisper White card stock used the new Big-Shot multi-purpose adhesive sheets. The material/card was then put though the Big Shot Die Cutting machine and cut with the Bigz Beautiful Die, then again with an embossing folder.
This is my first attempt at making a star photograph album, I’m quite pleased with how it turned out.
The photos are of my teenagers Year 13 High School Ball.
The theme was a winter one, hence the snowflakes. Her dress was purple with silver embroidery and sequins, so I embossed the snowflakes with silver embossing powder.
All products used were Stampin’ Up! except the ribbon, and die cut letters, and silver card, for the front page.
The stamp set used was Snow Swirled with Baroque Border wheel.
During our last Saturday afternoon class we made a selection of Christmas cards using the Stampin’ Up! stamp Dasher. Although he was also called Rudolph and Prancer in the class!! LOL! Two of the cards were embossed with gold embossing powder. The third card also used the Lovely as a Tree Stamp set.
Although the pictured pillow die boxes shown have a lovely chocolate theme, (Eat Chocolate Stamp Set) the ones we made in class were Christmas themed.
Next weeks class will be a continuation of Christmas themed cards, but with a punch art flare added.
A few weeks ago at my Saturday afternoon class we had a go at making several different varieties of easel cards. The are wonderful show case cards and were fun to do.
These cards all used the Big shot and Dies. Scallop Circle Die, Bigz Butterly Die, Blossom Party Die.
Sorry I can’t find where I cased the Butterfly card from to give them credit.
The Circle easel card also used the Circle Scissors Plus to cut the large circles and the petal punch for the tiny message envelope. The top circle was cut out of glossy white card, trees embossed with black embossing powder and then brayered in blue and green.
We also made two other cards not pictured, a tiny easel card with the small butterflies from the Bigz Butterfly Die and another easel card using the Top Note Die.
Aren’t these cards gorgeous!! The box opening is made with the Top Note Die and Big Shot. The cards also using the Top Note Die and Textured Embossing Folders. Instructions for making this set can be found here.
Aren’t these set of drawers really stunning!! Cased from here.
The first drawer opens from the top and the bottom 2 drawers pull out, you could fill it with all sorts of goodies.
At a recent class I demonstrated different uses of Stampin’ Up!’s Stampin’ Pastels (Chalks)
We tried, Poppin’ Pastels (chalk with Versamark), Blackboard (Whisper White Craft ink with chalk, on dark background) and a few other techniques. The ladies were all given a 14 page handout with lots of other ways to used chalk.

The first card in this set of sympathy cards is a CASE from the latest mini catalogue. In the next three cards I have embossed Vellum Cardstock using the Tulips Embossing Folder and the Bigshot Machine. The flower and butterfly are stamped using black Stazon ink and coloured in with Stampin’ Up! markers.
