Tomorrow is the last day of the Stampin' Up! year - and Sarah & I both have been covered up with last minute things to do. So we decided to take a break from BIG SHOT MONDAY. I promise we'll be back on target next week with a whole new Big Shot die!!
One of the things that each of us were working on was our Annual Hostess Appreciation event. I wanted to show you one of the little party favors that I made for my girls.
This was made with the Big Shot die called "Movers & Shapers", and a new die that will be available on Wednesday that you can use with the original M&S die to cut out shapes. I chose the heart because I "heart" my hostesses!!
This was really easy to do:
#1) Starting with a 3" X 12" piece of cardstock. Simply layer it across the middle of the die & run through the Big Shot. It will cut the correct length, cut the heart, and score it in the middle.
#2) Then I scored again both ends 5" from the end. That gave me this "W" fold:
#3) Cut 1" off the front top length (side with the heart cut-out). #4) Score the back length 1" from the end so you have a flap to fold over the front. #5) Layer 3" X 1 1/4" strip across front flap & punch with Scallop Border Punch #6) Attach bow with Mini Glue Dot #7) Stamp image & use Heart punch. Add brad & attach with Dimensionals. #8) Close flap with Mini Glue Dot. This is a nice & easy little treat bag - you could use cello bags and put anything inside!! I hope you enjoyed my "mini tutorial" today. It's going to be a busy & exciting week - starting with a trip to the DDS today to finish up what he started earlier in the month. Lucky me, huh?!!
