Top Note Nature Box

The Top Note Big Shot die is so versatile.  I loved making this little box which hold 3 x 3 pieces of paper, post-it notes or gift tags.  I used the bird from the Papaya Collage stamp set.  The bird was stamped with Marina Mist ink.  I sponged the body with Island Indigo to give it some depth.  I also used Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip and Daffodil Delight markers.  Other stamp sets used in this project were Simply Sketched and Elements of Style.   Thank you Brandy Cox (Brandyscards.com) for the idea.

Christmas Star Stampin' Up Card

This is truly one of the prettiest cards I have ever made.  I Cased it from a card I saw on pinterest by Amy Koenders. (StampwithAmyK).  I changed the greeting banner and did mine on Whisper White card stock instead of Very Vanilla.  We will be making it in class tomorrow and I know the card will be a big hit. 

One of the tricks I learned with the Christmas Star is to score the lines and fold the score lines.  Then take 3 stampin' dimensionals and stack them to elevate the card.

All the pieces were stamped with versamark and then heat embossed with gold embossing powder.
