Stampin' Up! Partners with Sizzix- Order Your Big Shot Today!

As you may have heard, the biggest news at this year's Stampin' Up! Convention was the introduction of the Big Shot.  Stampin' Up! is thrilled to be in partnership with Sizzix to provide its customers with the Stampin' Up! edition of the Big Shot.  Starting today, September 2nd, you can order your Big Shot and dies!

What is the Big Shot?
The Big Shot is a manual die-cutting system that you can use for a number of projects and crafts. The simplicity of the Big Shot makes it a great addition to any one’s crafting hobby.

How does the Big Shot work?
Using steel-ruled and chemically-etched dies, the Big Shot cuts out images by passing card stock and other materials through rollers that utilize pressure to cut through the materials. With just a couple turns of the handle, you’ll be able to cut through a wide variety of materials. The Big Shot also comes with special cutting pads and a cutting platform that not only make the Big Shot safer and easier to use, but also lengthen the life of the product.

To read all about the Big Shot Product Line and to learn more about the system itself, check out my "All About the Big Shot" Page.  Click here.

To order your Big Shot, please contact me directly at Michelle@stampworkshop.com or phone me at (858) 538-6037.  All orders place through me will receive a BONUS sizzlits die!  Choose one of the following sizzlits dies (a $4.95 value) with your order for free!

• 113440 Buttons #5

Happy Birthday to Me!

In my last post, I had said that I was going to be posting my swaps for SoCal Stamp Mania.  Well, I had good intentions of posting all week, but we got a touch of the stomach flu here and it put me out for most of last week.  I did manage to get better and finish all my swaps - the day before Stamp Mania!  Anyway, here is the first of my swap cards.

I saw a card with woven ribbon on Kristina's blog.  I thought it was SO neat!  Of course I had to try weaving and put it on one of my swap cards!  Kristina has a great video tutorial on how do weave the ribbon.  When you have a chance take a peek at Kristina's blog.  Great stuff!

Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Sincere Salutations
Cardstock: Basic Black, Whisper White
Ink: StazOn Jet Black
Designer Series Paper: Spring Silhouettes
Ribbon: 5/8" Certainly Celery Grosgrain
Accessories: Pretties Kit, Ice Round Rhinestone Brad
Tools: Distresser Tool, Paper Piercing Tool

As always, contact me if you have any questions on how to make this card.

Sale-A-Bration Starts February 1st!

This Friday, February 1st is the first day of Sale-A-Bration!  I have been talking about SAB for the past few weeks, and it is almost here!  Before I became a Stampin Up Demo, SAB was my favorite promotion!  I would put off buying anything for a few months and get my wishlist ready.  As soon as SAB began, I would place my order.  I would earn so many free sets that I could get at least one of each set offered!  See why I became a demo???

Sale-A-Bration Sneak Peek

I haven't posted in a few days, but I have been busy stampin!  I am in a TON of swaps and they are all coming due at the same time.  I am a swap addict and I took a short break.  But, now I'm swapping again and I may have over done it!  Yikes!

I had fun making this card.  It was very easy.  I'm not the best watercolorer (is that a word?) out there, but I think these came out okay.

This card was made for a Sale-A-Bration swap.  I hope to post a few more in the next day or two.

Here's the recipe for this card:
Stamps: Merci, Paisley
Cardstock: Chocolate Chip, Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate, Whisper White
Ink: StazOn Jet Black, So Saffron, Wild Wasabi, Purely Pomegranate, Close to Cocoa
Accessories: Brads, Photo Corner Punch, Distresser tool, AquaPainter, Purely Pomegranate Double Stitched Grograin, PopDots
