Sizzix Top Note Die Box II

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.



Stamps: No Stamps

Ink: No Inks

DSP: Candy Lane Designer Series Paper

Other: Scallop Circle Punch, Grosgrain Ribbon, DSP Backing Board. Paper Snips & Crystal Effects.

Recycled Baby Food Jar!!!

Good afternoon,

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and if your lucky enough to have today OFF in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. then maybe you'll have some time to stamp today. (happy dance) I'm actually have more in the line of cleaning up my stamp room and some computer time to put in before I get to stamp.

This cute Baby Food Jar was one of our projects that we did at an Upline Meeting on Saturday. This would be great to put your pens for customers next to the order form at a workshop, class or open house and for all you others, on you desk, by the phone or where every.......
It's a strip of Designer Series Paper, Ribbon, Sticky Tape, Bead Duo, Dazzling Diamonds Glitter, Flower Fusion, Rhinestone Brads and a piece of Cardstock for the inside of the jar.

Have a great day thanks for stopping by:

Small Post It Note Holder

Good Afternoon,

Oh my, I had so much fun making these little Post It Note Holder. Don't know where the one I found on my desk came from. It's old and made with retired DSP and stamp set.

What better to do than to up date. New In Color and DSP and NEW stamp set. I love how they turned out. I did take pictures as I made them and will post the tutorial as soon as I complete it.

Right now it's 10 degrees and partly sunny out side. Like "sunny" makes a big difference. I think if we had snow I'd feel better about the bitter cold. Bring on the snow......

Stamps: Love you Much

Ink: Basic Brown & Pink Pirouette

Cardstock: Very Vanilla, Close to Cocoa, Riding Hood Red and Pink Pirouette

DSP: Candy Lane Designer Series Paper

Other: Scallop Circle Punch, Grosgrain Ribbon, Stampin' Dimensionals, 1 1/4 & 1 3/8 Circle Punch, Crystal Effects.

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....

Hi,

Today's project is a couple of little Valentine cards. I was excited to finally use my new Love You Much Promotion Bundle. I used the Love You Much stamp set with Pink Pirouette, Riding Hood Red, Chocolate Chip, Very Vanilla and DSP Candy Lane.
The two cards above are made using the "Big Shot" Sizzix exclusive SU "Top Note"die. Run the cardstock through folded in half just below the perforated line to make it a card. And I also some DSP Candy Lane that comes in the "Love You Much Promotion" Bundle.
