Cut and Emboss – Page 11 – Stampin' With Candice

Thrifty Thursday 2-12-09

Today we had to make lots of Valentine’s for my son’s classes. So we decided to make the same fun project. My son, Mikey had a lot of fun helping to make them. Then we put them in bags so the candy would stay in when he gave them out. I love making the Valentine’s because they get something fun and different.

It was also nice because one of my other sons told me last minute that he need some as well. He’s in middle school so I didn’t think he needed them. Thankfully I had extra Candy and Paper already so it was easy to make more for him. Once again Stampin’ Up!© saves the day.

Wacky Wednesday 2-11-09

So today was club and I decided to make each member a cute little Valentine. The projects we were making would take a bit of time so this time I made this little gift for each of them before hand. I hope the know how much I appreciate each of them.

This is a sample that we made for one of my parties. They loved it. The heart is made using the Big Shot Petal Card and folding up the two bottom ones to make a pocket. I saw this idea at leadership and loved it.

Wacky Wednesday 2-4-09

So I got a fun package from the UPS man today. It was my order with some of the fun new products. I got the new cutter bee circle cutter and some new stuff for the big shot. Of course I just had to try it out. My son actually gave me the perfect opportunity. His Birthday is in the middle of summer when life is usually crazy so I told him we could have a 1/2 Birthday party instead. We are planning for Friday night so I made him these cute cards to invite his friends. His favorite color is blue so of course I had to use the in-color Pacific point. Plus I had to try out my new toys.

I really loved putting the texture on the Bold cupcakes. The frosting has the swirl plate and the cake has the polk-a-dot. Then I used the directly to paper technique to get a little ink on them and really make them pop. I loved how it turned out. I really loved using the circle cutter. It was so fast and easy. I can’t wait to try it for more projects.

I did learn that I need to cut out the items with the big shot and then run the texture on them otherwise the pressure of cutting it just smooths it back out again. Anyway I had lots of fun and my son loved them so I hope you like it too.

What I used:
#114512 Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds 1 $11.95
#114509 Stampin’ Up! Big Bold Cupcakes $21.95
#112530 Circle Scissor Plus $29.95
#112531 Glass Mat $19.95
#111367 Chocolatee Chip 1/4″ Grosgrain Ribbon $4.95
#111532 Party Hearty $23.95

Colors- Pacific Point, Whisper White, Chocolate Chip

Remember if you love the big shot as much as I do you can always lay it a way and start making payments so you can have it for the future. Click here for more details.
