120 Uses for your Big Shot - part 6

I found a list of 120 things you can use your Big Shot machine for and will be posting them 10 at a time on Sundays until it's complete!  I'm sure there are more so if you can think of one that doesn't get posted, please be sure to leave it as a comment.  Here are the next 10!

51. Organize and label your drawers and storage containers.

Imagine having all of your boxes labeled in your garage.

 

52. Use the smaller shapes as confetti that can sprinkle out of your cards and letters.

 

53. Place shapes inside clear glass ornaments for your Christmas tree. Try tying a few around the top of each ornament with fibers too.

 

54. Make great borders for cards and scrapbook pages.

 

55. Decoupage on anything using all your favorite shapes.

 

56. Teachers, use Big Shot to make personalized welcome signs on your new student's desks.

 

57. Create fun door decorations to surprise anyone on a special day.

 

58. Have your kids make their own my room signs for their doors.

 

59. Make a growth ladder chart to record how fast your kids are growing.

 

60. Use vellum to make great fairy and dragonfly wings.

Seat Belt Law

Hey all!  I know this isn't stamping related but many of us have little people under the age of 8 and the seat belt laws can be confusing.  So here's the latest, effective as of yesterday!  Just a way to help take care of our little ones!

120 Uses for your Big Shot - part 5

I found a list of 120 things you can use your Big Shot machine for and will be posting them 10 at a time on Sundays until it's complete!  I'm sure there are more so if you can think of one that doesn't get posted, please be sure to leave it as a comment.  Here are the next 10!

41. Use Big Shot shapes to decorate your picture frames.

 

42. Use the circles to create tags from any material in any color.

Try using metallic paper or thin metal for the outer circle. It'll look exactly like a more expensive, pre-made tag.

 

43. Cut shapes from white cardstock and let your kids use them to color on instead of a coloring book.

 

44. Use the negative shapes as photo frames.

 

45. Layer and rotate 2 or 3 flowers on top of each other to create

3-D flowers.

 

46. Make custom kitchen towels by applying fabric shapes onto plain towels. Blanket stitch around each image to secure. These make super seasonal gifts, and really celebrate festivity.

 

47. Use the Big Shot Machine to cut thin cork for dimensional shapes.

 

48. Cut shapes from clear plastic page protectors and back them with paper cut from the same shape. Sew them together, placing confetti or buttons inside to make your own shaped shaker cards and tags.

 

49. Cut a jumbo tag (folding before the bottom cutting blade), and fold bottom up and top over to make a cute little purse. Try this using Terrifically Tacky Tape to create little beaded purses.

 

50. Personalize school binders and book covers.

Available Now - The Man Pack (v2009)

I don't know how many men are reading this but this is YOUR opportunity to stay out (or get out) of the dog house!  How many times have you had to run out on the day of a special occasion to pick up a card for the love of your life (or your mom!) 

Well, The Man Pack is here to help.  Included in this small little box is a beautiful handmade card with envelope for just those important dates:  Anniversary, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Birthday, Any Day, plus a little love note.  For only $20, you can have these cards ready to go. 

Now, I can't remind you of the dates.  I can't sign the cards.  I can't SEND the cards.  All that is up to you!

Order your Man Pack today and be ready for 2010!  There's no reason to be in the dog house again!  Well, okay, I'm sure there will be SOMETHING that you do or don't do to get you there but you know what I mean!

Makes a great gift!

More Craft Fair tidbits

Here's something that I'm selling at the craft fair but also featuring in my Gift Night class on December 10th (details below).  This adorable tag goes over a bottle of wine instead of putting the wine in one of those silver bags!  The Chef from Voila says it all.  You can write your message on the back of the bottle and leave it with a hostess or give as a thank you or say Happy New Year!  They're not holiday specific so you can use them all year long.

Two Class Kits left! First come, first served.

The final weekend of my Christmas Jingle Card Class is done.  The ladies had a great time putting the cards together, adding glitter where they thought it would work and then stamping sentiments on the insides of the cards with Many Merry Messages and Four the Holidays!  I have two kits left.  They are cut, packaged and ready to go.  The instruction sheet comes with it too!  The first two paid responses will get these last kits.  Just click on the Paypal link below.  If you want the kit shipped to you, please choose that option.
