More with the Big Shot

Now look what I have made using my Big Shot this extra cute Ragged Edged Tag Along Baby Blanket. It was so fun and easy to make. I kept this blanket design small, to cover a baby when its in the car seat, then as the baby grows and begins walking, the baby will be able to carry the blanket around with them.




























My next project is Hawaii Themed. I used the Island Floral Bigz Die and Tropical Party stamp
set, both from the Summer Mini Catalog.





























And Yes, I've made another purse using my Big Shot and the Square Scallop Die. So Fun, Cute and Easy to make. I do have a few of these cute purses/scripture bags for sale ($15.00 each), just call or email me for more details.

The Big Shot's not just for Paper ANYMORE!

Check out these extra cute Rag Bags and flowers I made using my Big Shot, fabric and a sewing machine. YES! you read that right I used my Big Shot to cut fabric. Simply AMAZING!

They are so easy to make! All I had to do is cut the fabric into strips, then I used my Big Shot and the Scallop Square Die to cut out 8 scallop squares, at once. So fast and easy! Cut a square of quilt batting for the middle, sew the X, sew the squares together, attach a strap and wall-la you have an extra cute rag purse. My girls are going to use the small purses for their scriptures.

If you would like to gather a group of freinds together and make these bags and flowers please call me I would love to arrange a special class for you.

So sorry I have been absent the past month, but my attention and time has been spent dealing with a family emergency. But now I'm ready to jump back into my StampIn' Up Business with both feet. If you didn't receive your summer mini catalog, please call me I will get another sent to you.
