On the 6th day of Christmas . . .

The Stampin’ Santa gave to you a really fun Candy Gift Box.

So I saw this idea on my friend Patty’s blog and just had to try it.  It’s made with our thick window sheets.  I simply cut out the box using our fancy favor’s box die and my Big Shot.  Then  I I embossed it with the Petals-A-Plenty Impressions Folder from the Holiday Mini.

The only trick is you need to cut your box now too 11″ instead of 12″.  Then you can emboss from each end (you roll it through twice.)

Can I just say I love my Big Shot.  Remember there are lots of great dies on sale right now.  Even if you don’t have the Big Shot yet.  You could start getting your dies and have all the cute ones when you get your Big Shot.  You could even use my Lay-a-Way program.

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.

Remember to check out my 12 Days of Christmas sale for all the great deals.  Plus the 12 Days of Holiday Sale that Stampin’ Up! is offering on fun dies for the Big Shot.

Have a Happy Holiday!

April Club- Just Beachy

April '09 FishThis post is a little late, but I thought you would like to see the fun projects we did for club in April.  I featured the fun Just Beachy set from the mini catalog and showed them how to do the cracked Glass technique.  I love this technique it looks so cool and is actually really easy to do.I got this fun idea from Kelly.  You can check out her blog here:   http://stampinparadise.blogspot.com.  I changed it a bit. 

 

 

April '09 Fish Close UpI thought if you are really different than maybe you would be a different color.  I don’t know if you noticed it but this fish is the only one in the set that goes the other way.  Here is a close up of the cracked glass.

April '09 BeachHere is the scrapbook page that I came up with using the card as my inspiration.  I love how simple it is, but it has just a fun summer feel.  We colored the fish with the watercolor wonder crayons and a aqua painter.

April '09 B-dayThis is the second card that my card group made.  I totally cased it from a blog, I tried to find it again so I could tell you who, but I couldn’t.  I changed the saying in the center, but the rest is basically like hers.  I thought it was a really cute card.  The size is actually 5×5 go go in our 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 envelops.  The fish are punched out with the 1 1/4″ Square Punch and then sponged with the pacific point.

 

April '09 B-day InsideWe stamped Happy Birthday from the $10.00 and under page on the inside.  Of course we used Whisper White craft in so that it would show up.

 

Matchbox Thank You BoxesSince I had also just got the Matchbox die of course we had to try that out as well.  Here is our fun projects using the match box die and the designer series paper from the mini catalog Walk in the Park.

Wacky Wednesday 3-18-09

OK I decided to put these in Wacky Wednesday because I’m a day late for St. Patrick’s Day. 

leprechaunI made this cute little guy for my “Discover the Green Night” for decorations.  I had a bunch spread out on the table.  They also a fun treat because they are on a peppermint patty.  I got the idea Samantha Parisi.  She has some amazing punch art on her blog  www.rubberstampingdiva.com.  You can check out her blog for all the details on how to make them.

This wheel is retired but I just love this card and had to show it to you.  This card is so simple but I love it.  First she wheeled the butterflies and then she colored them in.  

thanks-butterfiles-cardMy favorite part is that afterwards she covered the entire wheeled section with VersMark® pad and then iridescent ice embossing powder.  I love how it sparkles.  I think it’s such a great card.  I received this card in a swap, but it didn’t have a name, sorry.
