Top Note Envelope Card

This was a fun card to make.  Using the new Top Note Die with the Big Shot, makes the top of the envelope.

I got this idea from http://andreawalford.com/?cat=115&paged=4
Andrea created a Christmas one. I was wanted to incorporate the Sale-a-bration stamps.
I found it was better to crimp the envelope before sticking it together. So when you read through her instructions keep that in mind.

Enjoying having a go.

Happy Stampin

Stampin' Up! Manhattan Flower

I love this card, and so simple.  Searching the net I found this on Barbara Jean Smith blog.
http://pinkpjstamper.blogspot.com/2010/02/joining-hopes-stamp-camp-share.html

The new embossing folders can be used in all sorts of ways and this is one that is effective and easy.
You have a positive image on the front and negative image on the inside fold.

Tri-Fold Card

Take a 6"  x  12" piece of cardstock.  Fold and score the card so that the right flap is inside and the left flap is on top.
Take the left side flap and line it up with the Manhattan Embossing folder so that the fold in the card lines up with the edge of the design.
Run through the Big Shot. Take not of the direction of the folder.  Your arrow should be up.  I ran mine through sideways, completely open.
Now do the same thing to the opposite side, only moving the folder not the cardstock.
Take not again the folder is now flipped.  The arrow is underneath but still pointing upwards.
This gives you the positive and negative sides.

Cut edges of the roses, moving the cardstock that is not embossed.  Cut up to the fold line and continue up the fold line.

Add an insert to your card, I doodled around the edge with a Stampin' Write Marker and stamped a small image in the corner.
Held it closed with a piece of Tafetta Ribbon.

Scallop Circle Big Shot Die

This simple but very effect card, I cased it off Splitcoaststampers (fantastic site for ideas), not sure who it was now, sorry.
I made a template for the dress using the scallop circle die now available from SU and me http://www.stampinup.net/esuite/home/nyobre/

All you have to do is cut out a scallop circle in card board (I use the sheet in with the DSP papers)
Then take your 1/4' ribbon reel and do a half circle with 4 scallops up the top and 10 at the bottom, on both sides. Thats it.
Stamps: Sale-a-bration Whimsical Words
Card Stock:  whisper White, Brocade Blue and DSP (6 x 6) inches
Ink: Brocade Blue
Accessories:  Filigree Brad, Taffeta White ribbon, Round Tab Punch, Lge & Small oval punches, brad, big-shot and embossing plate.

This is a great card, give it ago, you will make many more.

More Big Shot samples

Happy Easter to Everyone,

Here is another project we made, using the Big hot.  This time we used the Party Favor X-Large die from Stampin' Up!.  This makes a very cute box that you could use for so many things.  I have used the Papers and Stamp set out of the last mini, but you can adapt this to any stamp set and papers.

                                                                                        

Sorry for the quick stop over, just returned from Bendigo, the traffic was amazingly busy.  We had a wedding, and what a super day, and wonderful weather the lucky couple had.

See you soon,

Happy Stampin'
