Stampin' Up! goes BIG with the Big Shot

As promised... here are some Big Shot projects, all created by using the brand new Stampin' Up! dies and Big Shot machine. How adorable is the basket you see above?! This basket was created with a long 12" die called "Baskets and Blooms." I must say it is quickly becoming my absolute fav. If you are a "gift giver" this die is a must have. Can you imagine how fast and easy this basket will make our gift giving?! I can just see it filled with everything from Hershey Kisses to jewelry to you name it!

I rolled the So Swirly wheel on my basket before putting it together. The blossom was built by using the Scallop Circle Punch as a base and the same 12" die for the rest.

This card is so simple and says it all when it comes to a "thank you." These blossoms were built from the 12" die mentioned above. The "Top Note" die was used to create the framed notion containing my message.

And oooooohhh... I just LOVE the "Peace Joy Love and Cheer" die! Look how fantastic it looks on this scrapbook page. I can't wait to play with this die and create greeting cards with it! Can you imagine how cool these words will look when they are seperated?! The little journaling box was created by using the "Scallop Envelope" die. I simply folded the side back and adhered it to the mat. See below how it opens. OH! And the white area on my red mat is actually the NEGATIVE piece from the red scallop on the greeting card pictured above. Pretty cool!
