Best Dad Ever Frame - June 12 Project

OH this project was a lot of fun to make, notice the shiny part on this project......it is aluminum flashing which was embossed with Stampin' Up!'s Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder - isn't that cool.  This is the last project that will be featured at my June 12 "I am a Big Shot" Class.  I have seen a couple of projects that used aluminum flashing and they looked so neat.  Yet another way to use the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine and depending on which embossing folder you use you could have more ways to create masculine cards and projects.  I made this project a Father's Day frame but if you would rather use it for a different occasion you can do that.  The picture is 4" x 6". 
Here are the details again for my "I am a Big Shot" Class - On June 12, 2011 from 3:00 to 5:30 come join me for a Big Shot class. We will be making 6 different projects all using the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine.

Greenhouse Gala Chipboard Coasters - June 12 Projects

Another project to be featured at my June 12 "I am a Big Shot" Class.  These are 2 coasters made out of chipboard and the Scallop Square Clear Die.  At the class we will spray a protective coat on them so that they don't get ruined when being used.  If you would rather make these 2 scallop squares into a cute little frame you could do that too.  All we need to do for that is punch a couple holes with the Crop-A-Dile in 2 sides and then join them with ribbon.  That would make such a cute little gift for someone.

On June 12, 2011 from 3:00 to 5:30 come join me for a Big Shot class. We will be making 6 different projects all using the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine. Cost is FREE if you have purchased a Big Shot Die-Cut Machine from me or FREE if you purchase one at the time of the class or $5.00 if you do not own one. Click here to register by email.

Wild Wasabi Butterfly Trio - June 12 Class Project

Here is another project that will be featured at my June 12 "I am a Big Shot" Class.  These cute little butterflies aren't just normal butterflie........they are butterfly magnets.  Yup made with card stock, the Beautiful Butterflies Bigz Die and magentic sheets.  Aren't they neat.  Again I am so impressed with all that the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine can do.  On June 12, 2011 from 3:00 to 5:30 come join me for a Big Shot class.  We will be making 6 different projects all using the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine.  Cost is FREE if you have purchased a Big Shot Die-Cut Machine from me or FREE if you purchase one at the time of the class or $5.00 if you do not own one.  Click here to register.

Another neat feature on these butterflies is if you look really close to the Wild Wasabit colored ones you will see that the Baroque Motifs stamp design is the same color as the card stock.....I used Wild Wasabi Embossing Powder.  Yes Stampin' Up! now had a couple of colored embossing powders the same as their card stock colors.  Yahoo!  Embossing is one of my fav techniques.  You will find these in the Summer Mini Catalogue.

It can do so much. That is why I wanted to have a "I am a Big Shot" class so that I can teach different ways to use the Big Shot to you.  Here are the following Big Shot Accessories that we will use in this class; Beautiful Butterflies and Flower, Daisies #2 Bigz Dies, Scallop Square Bigz Clear Dies, Matchbox Bigz xl Dies, Scallop Rectangle Clearlits Die, Circles #2 Originals Die, Vintage Wallpaper Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and Scalloped Heart of Hearts Embosslits Die.

                                                             Gerber Daisies

I saw a project very similar to the Gerber Daisies on the Stampin' Connection (a website for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators) and I loved it.  I thought this would be a great project for you to do at my "I am a Big Shot" Class on June 12, 2011.  Just think you can always have flowres whenever you want and you don't need to go to the store to buy them.  :)
