Diaper Fold Pouch

At our August Stamp Club meeting we made a diaper fold pouch. This is one of my new favorite projects to make because it is the easiest thing I have ever made. This project literally takes 2-3 minutes to make and there is no prep work, no adhesive, and no cutting. It is a beautiful project in a snap! I think I will make some of these during the holidays! They make the perfect gift idea to slip into someone's mailbox!

Recipe:

1 piece of 12 x 12 Designer Series Paper (Summer Picnic used here)

Embellishments (Die Cut Blooms and Rhinestone Brads used here)

Simply Sent Flower Power Card Elements

I am sorry that I have delayed in posting on my blog. I will try my best not to do it again! My goal with this blog is to make myself stamp other projects besides the ones I present at classes, workshops, and clubs, so that I can post them here for everyone to see. I want my blog to be my stamping journal.

Today's post are some of the cards that I have made using the new Simply Sent Flower Power Card Elements. I love these new products featured in the new catalog! There is hardly any stampin involved and if you just want to use the materials found in the kit you can. I made 9 cards and I still have supplies to make 3 more cards! Don't want to make cards? That's fine! You not only can make cards using this kit, but you can create scrapbook pages and other projects using the materials in each kit! What a stellar deal---you can purchase the kit for only $15.95!

Here are three of the cards! Stay tuned and I will share the others!

Happy Stamping!

A BIG product announcement from SU!

During Convention, it was announced that Stampin' Up! will be carrying the Big Shot and exclusive dies starting September 2nd! The Big Shot is a sturdy manual die cutting machine used to die cut materials for use on crafts, home décor projects, and even clothing!

You'll love what the Big Shot machine, a 6-time winner of Creating Keepsakes Reader's Choice Award for best die cutting equipment and dies, can do for you. From sewing to quilting to home décor, the Big Shot is the perfect tool for many types of crafting.

Use our Stampin' Up! exclusive dies to create die cuts and stencils with our artwork and designs for all your craft needs. Planning and preparing projects is fast and economical with the Big Shot machine. Cut out eight of the same chipboard letter or 20 scalloped pennants in just a few minutes.

Review these frequently asked questions regarding the Big Shot.

Question: I have dies from other companies; can I use them with the Big Shot?

Yes, you can. The Big Shot is the most versatile die-cutting machine on the market today. Using the multi-purpose platform, you can use dies, embossing plates, and other products from a wide variety of sources.

Question: I've heard that you can run multiple sheets of card stock through the Big Shot at the same time. How many can I run through at once?

Using the steel rule dies, you can run multiple sheets of card stock through the Big Shot. The number of sheets depends on the die being used. Simple shape dies--dies that do not have perforation or scoring--can cut through up to eight sheets of card stock at once. Dies that feature perforation or scoring or that are more detailed may not produce the exact cuts when cutting multiples. You'll want to experiment and see how many sheets you are comfortable passing through the Big Shot at once to get the desired effect. Chemically-etched dies should only be used to cut one sheet of card stock or paper at a time.

I will continue to add more information regarding this new product. If you would like to learn more about this new and exciting product or would like to get on a list to order yours, please contact me!
