Simple Christmas Decor' – using Big Shot and Stampin' Up! Embellishments
This simple little decoration was one we made at camp this month. The pictures don't do it justice as it shimmers and shines in person and while not big - it is hard to photograph. Part of the charm is it's simplicity.Everything on it is available currently from Stampin' Up! - except for the clothespins. I also used a glue gun - at camp we used Green Glue - for the video I needed it to dry quickly so you could see it. These would be fun to make using whatever dies, papers, … [Read more...] about Simple Christmas Decor' – using Big Shot and Stampin' Up! Embellishments

Here is a quick short and simple video how to for making this project.A … [Read more...] about Oh Deer, It's a Basket Full of Kisses!

We end this week's Blog Hop with one of my favorite things from the Autumn portion of the catalog - the Pick a Pumpkin Bundle!The first time I ran the pumpkin through the Big Shot - I knew I had to create a way to become the Fairy Godmother and wave some dazzling diamonds and turn that thing into Cinderella's carriage.
