Sizzix Top Note Die Box II

This one is not as dainty as the first, more masculine! After, making this one I have come up with an easier way. I had help from Brooke on this one we went for a different look and added the stars.



Stamps: None with this one

Ink: Chocolate Chip & Pacific Point

Cardstock: Candy Lane Designer Series Paper 12 x 12

Other: Chip Board Stars, Night of Navy 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon & Crystal Effects, Big Shot Top Note Die & extra back board that comes with DSP for backing.

Sizzix Top Note Die Box

WOW! I came across the pattern for an adorable box made by Shannon Griebe. I must have missed this when it was first posted on SUDSOL (an email list/group for Stampin' Up! demonstrators) I can't link to her pattern because you have to be a member of SUDSOL to see it.




I made a few changes and took pictures for my own tutorial. I cased the flower it is so easy to make and looks adorable.



In fact I'm working on three different Tutorials that I want to post. With another snow day tomorrow I just might get them finished. That's the plan. We are getting hit again tonight with snow and freezing rain. We played out in the snow earlier today before the freezing rain started and it was fun.

Top Note Bag

Good evening!! I wish I could post in the morning.....but this is when I have the time after dinner here is the post for today....

Today's project is a CASED idea I seen on a blog during Christmas, not sure of the exact one, if any of you know where to give credit please tell me. It is made using the Big Shot and SU Sizzix "Top Note" Die. It takes 2 [one for the front and one for the back] and a small white paper bag. (a brown one may have been better) 1/18/09 Update: This may be where I seen it as I love Chic n' Scratch you can click HERE to find a sample and much more......this is one Awesome blog.

I was not able to make them until I found a little white lunch bag in one of my drawers. It was like finding a pot of GOLD. I immediately thought of these cute little Top Note Bags. I did have to get creative I wanted to make more than one.

I cut from the bottom at 2" then created a bottom with the upper portion and voila two out of one. Enjoy! Thanks for stopping in....

"LOVE in a Milk Carton"

WOW! what a day we had yesterday getting ready for these events is time consuming and then it ends so quickly. Nikki and I did well considering the poor showing in comparison to previous years. I'll be posting pictures of all of the items that we had and a few pictures of the layout. I'm posting this because "Becky Roberts" posted to my blog. She's the milk carton creator. You can check out her AWESOME blog HERE. So Becky here is my "LOVE in a Milk Carton" This is part of a STAMP camp that Nikki and I are hosting.




Hope your having a great day, thanks for stopping in...
