BIG SHOT DAISY CARD BY KATIE FORD

This is a great card designed by Katie Ford. Katie used the Big Shot for this card and it is really clever. First, she die cut the daisies and layered them. The big summer sun corduroy button in the middle of the flower is a real highlight. She also die cut a piece of old olive so swirly sizzlet to act as the stem. Now...what is really clever is that Katie ran the background ultra smooth white card stock through the Big Shot using the petal die that we all thought was a christmas die with poinsettia's on it. Katie showed us that these are flowers and by simply highlighting the centers of the flowers, she made them daisies. Very very cool.
The card base is one of our IN COLORS - melon mambo, that I'm happy to say will be returning to us on July 1st. I truly love this color. Great Job Katie!

AMANDA'S CARD

Remember to get your petals a plenty embossing folder before January 4th. It goes unavailable that date and I'm not sure if it will return next holiday or not. It is one of the best folders SU! has put out and is EXCLUSIVE! Amanda Hindle designed this card and used glossy card stock with the embossing folder and it is really nice!

SU! HAS ALL OF YOUR HOLIDAY GIFTING NEEDS!

Speaking of gifting needs, look at this card and envelope that Lori Butler created. This is gorgeous. Lori used the exclusive Petals a plenty embossing folder for the BIG SHOT, some of SU!'s great punches to make the poinsettia's, shimmer paint on top of the embossed areas, the scallop square punch, corner rounder (love this idea for corners), and glitter!
I also love how Lori stamped snowflakes with white staz on ink onto her SU! clear envelopes, so cool! And she used the great eyelet border punch by SU! on her cards!

HOLIDAY CARD MAKING BIG SHOT STYLE

Hsiao-hui was ready for another great Holiday Class using the Big Shot. She demonstrated how to run foil through the Big Shot with the Embossing Folder Petals a Plenty from the new Holiday Mini Catalog by SU!
The foil adds a brand new dimension to card making and using the Big Shot is a craft makers delight. It is such an easy machine to use. Hsiao-hui used card stock that coordinates with our Christmas cocoa designer paper - soft suede, real red and brushed silver card stock all by Stampin Up! The ribbon is soft suede dotted grosgrain. She CASED a card that Jan Wakeland designed for us at the last REMARKABLES retreat in August.
Leslie Webb came to class and really loved this card.
Pat Nuckels is punching a snowflake using our new punch that was released just this year with the new idea book. Hsiao-hui and Katie have been using this punch in a lot of holiday cards I'm going to ask them to share with us.
This is the envelope we made using the stamp Dasher and the Hostess Stamp Set Christmas Punch.
