Rag Quilt Purse

Here is a Rag Quilt Purse that I made using the Big Shot and the Clear Scallop Square Die. I must say that I like this type of quilting, especially using the Big Shot to cut the scallop squares, as it can cut 8 at one time! I am quite pleased with the way this turned out.

St. Patrick's Day Card



Here is a card that was shared on one of our Demo Sites and I think it is really cute and easy to make! It uses our Sweet Pea Stitched Felt and the Go Green Stamp, both of which are available in the Occasions Mini Catalogue. I guess I now have to go crack open my Stitched Felt and make one of my own!

CUTE EASTER CARD!

Isn't this little guy the cutest? He was really easy to make using the Scallop Circle Die, the Big Shot and various punches! He is having a bad hair day with his whiskers, though!

AND THE WINNER OF THE BIG SHOT IS.........

ADDING TEXTURE TO RIBBON
Look closely at the ribbon. Can you see the dots? They are hard to see in this picture but in real life they are gorgeous! And so easy to do! Just spray your ribbon with Starch and let dry. Then place it in the Perfect Polka Dots embossing Folder, add a couple of pieces of card stock under the folder for shims, and run it through the Big Shot. This technique works best with a smooth ribbon such as Taffeta or Satin.

I used the stamp set Friends 24-7 for this card. Stamped the bird and branches on Neutrals Ivory Card stock, colored with markers, covered with VersaMark ink and embossed with Glassy Glaze powder. I embossed twice for even coverage. The card is Kraft card stock stamped with En Francais Background in Close to Cocoa, then the design from Friends 24-7 in Old Olive. The ribbon I used is the Old Olive 5/8" Satin Ribbon from the Occasions Mini.
