Christmas & Sizzix!

Hello friends!

If you need to make mass quantities of Christmas cards, like I do, your Sizzix Big Shot can be a big helper. In the current Stampin' Up! Holiday Mini, they have this big Sizzix Scallop Circle Bigz Die. It was love at first sight for me. You will see me use this quite often I'm sure!

I used the scallop circle die to make a bunch of these Christmas cards. I cut out one scallop circle and cut it in half to get two cards done at a time. Then I used my circle Nestabilities to cut out a circle to stamp my holiday sentiment on and layer on top the scallop.

My Christmas paper stash is out of control. Can you relate? I have like 15 sheets of this beautiful holly paper by Anna Griffin. All I did was layer it on a couple pieces of Stampin' Up! cardstock and stuck my circles underneath it. I covered up the seams with cream colored ric-rac and attached a Making Memories poinsettia. What do you think?

Can you believe Christmas is approximately 2 months away! The time is going to fly. Have fun crafting and stamping over next couple months. I love to bake so on top of crafting, I will be baking tons of cookies too!

Have a wonderful day and God bless you!

There's a new big shot in town--the Sizzix Big Shot for Stampin' Up!

It's Saturday and I hope you are having a good one!

I am so excited because there is some exciting news with Stampin' Up! They have teamed up with Sizzix to offer the Big Shot machine along with dies that will only be sold exclusively through Stampin' Up! I saw a sneak peek of these dies, and they are cool.

So what does this little machine do? The Big Shot is a sturdy manual die cutting machine used to die cut materials for use on crafts, home décor projects, and even clothing--it's a big deal! The Big Shot is a 6-time winner of Creating Keepsakes Reader's Choice Award for best die cutting equipment and dies. Another good point to make it the Big Shot works with ALL competitive dies, embossing folders, and Nestabilities. The steel rule dies can cut through an impressive list of 50 different materials, including fabric, foil, and chipboard. The Big Shot ($99.95) and exclusive Stampin' Up! dies will be available to order beginning September 2nd. Any questions, drop me line and I'll have the answer for you.
