Check out my Baby Quilt

I just had to share.  I made this cute quilt for my friend that’s having a baby (I’m going to have  hard time giving it away though.)  I made it with our scallop square die cut for the big shot.  It was so easy I couldn’t believe it.  This is coming from someone who hadn’t sewn in 14 years and I often claimed that I couldn’t sew a straight line if my life depended on it.  I’m amazed at how easy it was and how much I love it now because of a little bit of instruction.

Remember if you want to learn more you can come to my Open House on Saturday from 10:00 – 2:00.  You can find more details in an early post or give me a call.  Please feel free to bring a friend.

Check out my Rag Bag

I talked a little bit about using the Big Shot for quilting and sewing when I got back from Leadership in January, however since I’m not that great at sewing I haven’t been able to peruse it much further.  In April I was able to attend a meeting held by my up-line Amy Johnson and was finally able to learn how to make one of these awesome Rag Bags.  Can I just say it was way easier that I thought it was going to be.

So here’s me sewing my bag.  It was so easy to cut out.  I just cut the fabric in strips and then I was able to cut out 8 scallop squares at once.  I loved it.  We also made this awesome flower to go on the back.  I was surprised at how easy it was and that I was able to do it thanks to the help of my awesome Stampin’ friends.

Then here’s the finished project.  It’s awesome because you can make the bag any size that you want.  You can totally customize it for your needs.

They have also been making quilts, hair bows, clothing and more.  You really need to check out all the things you can do with our fabulous Big Shot.

So now I’m excited to share this with you.  I’m going to be having a

Calling all Quilters

OK so you must be thinking this is a papercrafting site why in the world is she calling for Quilters.  Well while I was at Leadership they showed us something that I just had to share.  Quilters have discovered that our Big Shot is perfect for cutting out designs to make beautiful quilts with. 

I can’t sew a straight line if my life depended on it, but wow do I wish I could.  I was just in love with these beautiful quilts.  The great thing about the big shot is that it can cut through several layers of fabric at once so it saves time.  Plus it can cut out all the fun fancy stuff like curved edges that quilters usually cut by hand.

I’m really new to this stuff and just learning, but if you know of anyone that quilts and would like to save some time please tell them about this great product.  You could even host a party and receive all the great benefits for helping them out.

So here are some of the samples of the awesome stuff they had on display at Convention.  They also gave us each a quilt square and I have some more pictures I just have to find so I will post those later.  Enjoy!

Here’s a close up of the Star from above.  It uses the 5-point 3D star Die.  The one they gave us uses this same die to create a flower.  I would love this quilt for my son’s room or just a fun one for the family room.

This one uses the Pennant Die (a Stampin’ Up! exclusive.)  I think they fold the fabric in 1/2 before cutting for this one.

Here’s another one using the Pennant Die.

I believe the small circles in the center are the Scallops from the Pennant die.  you can also see them on the edges.

This is just a perfect baby blanket.

I love this one with the hearts.  I think it was done with the  Petal Card Die.

Another fun thing they have done is these flowers.  This one was done to clip on a bag.  IT uses the Flower Folds die (another Stampin’ Up! exclusive.)

Here are some more flowers.  I’ve seen them on bags, dresses and ever in little girls hair.  They also use the Scallop Circles and the Flower daisies #2 to create these I believe.

This pirate one is one if my favorites.  It uses the Stampin’  Up! exclusive Top Note Die.

I want this one for my mom so bad.  She loves patriotic stuff.

Once again the stars were created with the 5-point 3D star die.

So if you know anyone one that would love this stuff or you would like to here more contact me today.

On the 10th day of Christmas . . .

 

The Stampin’ Santa gave to you a more Hybrid Cards from “My Digital Studio.”

So I still just love this product.  Here’s some fun easy Hybrid Cards that I made.  First I designed what I wanted on MDS then I printed it and added it to my project.

This is one of my favorites.  I love this quick and easy tag I made.  We even did this one as a make and take.  The “Don’t Open until Dec. 25 is from MDS then I punched it out.  The tag is one of the tags from the two tags die for the Big Shot.

.

.

.

.

.

This fun card also used the Big Shot.  I just layered 1″ squares on a white piece of cardstock.  Then I ran it through the Big Shot and cut it with the Top Note Die.  The “Merry and Bright was done with MDS then punched with the 1 3/4” circle punch.

.

.

I really like this card.  The base of the card is Embossed using the Big Shot.  Then I stamped the cute snowman from the Hostess set in the Holiday Min.  The Ornament was created on MDS and then punched out with the ornament punch.

.

.

.

Here’s another quick and easy card.  It’s a fun 3 x 3 card once again embossed with the Big Shot.  The ornament on the front was created in MDS then punched out.  We also put a white paper inside to make it easy to write on and stamped a cute little tree on it.  So easy and simple.

Remember if you order MDS before December 26th you can get it for $15.00 off.  So if Santa didn’t get it for you treat yourself and get it from me.

To order call me at 435-245-5321 (Home) or 435-232-2655 (Cell & Messages.)  E-mail me at andersoncandice@hotmail.com.  Order on-line at www.candiceanderson.stampinup.net. Click on the shop now in the upper right hand corner.
