Big Shot 3D Pop-Up Cake!

Last night I was looking for something fun to do and I thought I would give this new Big Shot die a try -AND I LOVE IT! There's definitely a learning curve, and you certainly can't be in a hurry to make it - you must take your time, think through each step, and have plenty of Sticky Strip! However, it is not difficult at all, and once you make one and you see how it works, then you want to make a whole bunch! I thought this turned out kind of cute and I can see the many wonderful possibilities that go along with it! It's so much fun to have so many neat toys to play with! By the way, that's my 16-year-old son's nasty, dirty nail in the picture, NOT MINE!

Mini Pizza Box with Four Matching 3 X 3 Cards

I told Haley's science teacher, Ms. Corrine Drom, who just happens to be one of my stamping buddies, that I would make her an end-of-the-year teacher gift! I came up with this cute little mini pizza box with four matching 3 X 3 cards and I thought it turned out so cute! I have enjoyed having this on my desk and just looking at it every day, so it's going to be hard to part with it, but Ms. Drom is a pretty cool science teacher and I think she deserves a little goody, so I guess I'll hand it over to her this Friday when she attends my stamp camp! We'll have to make a mini pizza box at an upcoming camp, and then I'll share the recipe and dimensions with you, but for now, I thought you just might like to see it!
