Another Fun Big Shot Project!

I’ve had this idea in my brain for a few days now and just no time to finish it until late tonight.  In fact I had it half finished and had to sit it to the side as I worked on other projects that had a little higher priority.  Tonight I was able to put this idea to rest and FINISH it.  Phew! 

I absolutely LOVE my Big Shot and all the possibilities the Die Cuts have.  I think many demonstrators are just scratching the surface of what can be done with this awesome product.  Myself included. 

I love the Scallop #2 die and how you can get two different size scallops from it.  Tonight I used the larger scallop and turned this into a wreath.  Once the Old Olive scallop was cut I took my Coluzzle and cut a center circle.  To be honest this wasn’t easy.  Not surprising either as I am just a crooked cutter.  🙂  Once the center was cut I added the Fire Rhinestone brads and edged around the wreath with Old Olive. 

For the card, I wanted to get the look of a window or door, and quite frankly I don’t think I succeeded in this area, but you can use your imagination.  🙂  The top of the card is just Real Red cardstock layered on top of each other and a little peek of the beautiful Ski Slope DSP coming soon from the Winter Mini.  {{{OH BOY}}}!  The stamped snowflakes on the Real Red cardstock comes from the Snow Swirled stamp set as well as the Season Greetings sentiments.  Add a fun bow to your wreath and Viola’ you are DONE!  Just a little out of the box and it used my Big Shot! Oh, and this is ALL layered on the most fabulous cardstock out there…. KRAFT!

Lastly ,I received something in the mail on Saturday that made me skip around my house.  Of course once more Russ thought I had lost my mind.  I explained I had received a BEAUTIFUL gift from my friend Mary Jo!  He should have been skippin’ too!  That talented Mary Jo sent me this BEAUTY!!!!

It sits on my desk tonight with Pride!  I just love that Mary Jo!  Not just because of her talent, but her HUGE heart.  I am so excited to watch her build her buisness.
