Here's what the two pieces of this project look like…

And then the flower fold folds up and pops right inside the box…

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

  • This project is darling, but really, very, very easy to put together! The dies do all of the work – you just have to pop them together and add a little jazz!
  • In Colors take the Stage with this project… Pear Pizzaz, Peach Parfait and Poppy Parade! These 3 colors paired with Daffodil Delight is what the "Sunny Garden" Designer Series Paper is all about (which I used on the 1 1/4" Circle Punch).
  • I just love when things coordinate (it's my FAVORITE thing about Stampin' Up! products!) so I was ALL OVER it when I saw that this Designer Series Paper matched the "Cottage Garden" stamp set.
  • When assembling the Bitty Box, be sure to use Sticky Strip so that it holds up well to movement. When cutting Sticky Strip, I like to use the Craft & Rubber Scissors so that I don't gunk up the ones reserved for paper or ribbon.

I love the Big Shot so much and want to get all of you using it! I'm having a BIG SHOT CLASS next week, and you're invited! This class will teach you all of the ins and outs of this machine and I'll work with you to make sure you gain a vast understanding of all that you can do with it.
  • CLICK HERE for more details on this class – the August Class is on August 18th and the Registration Deadline is TODAY – August 11th!

So we did the best we could do and made the most of it… the Cocktail & Banana Splits PJ Party went on!!!!

I had made up these little cards for everyone to have when they checked in at the front desk…

After lots of cancellation/snow storm drama and dinner, the evening started off with Banana Splits and Cocktails…

We had stuck the ice cream outside in the snow before we went to dinner so it would stay cold… only when we got BACK from dinner there was about another 8 inches of snow and the ice cream was BURIED… here's the sight out our window trying to uncover the ice cream!

After we loaded up on those, we played a game… have you ever played "SPOONS"? Well, we played that but with stamps instead of spoons and called it "STAMPS"!

I made a cute little jar to hold the stamps in, and covered the deck of cards to look pretty and match :)

The top winners got these chocolate candy bars, they were all done with the Kaleidoscope DSP, but there are a couple variations…

Then I had some door prizes, here's the first, a basket with lotions and such…

This water bottle reminded me SO much of the image from Friends 24-7, so I just had to get it and stamp a tag with that stamp set to coordinate!

And then in keeping with the ice cream theme, I picked up these little ice cream coasters and address book and made a coordinating tag with an upcoming stamp set from the Summer Mini Catalog!

So much fun despite the snow!!!

The girls that attended brought their sewing machines, and I supplied all different fun fabrics and big shot dies, and we just had a ball playing around with different combinations and learning how to sew in Stampin' Up! Style! Or for some of us… sew period!! We ended up with quilt squares and flower bag tags – so much fun! If you want to be included on these very special events, won't you consider joining our team?  Most of us are based in New York State, but often times, our long distance members travel to join us.  With the Sale-A-Bration special, it's a perfect time to take 15% off your starter kit and receive a free stamp set!

Jen had never sewn before, but she did great!

Patty and Jacki with their completed quilted flower bag tags – made with the Flower Folds Die!

Kriss was our expert quilter and taught us lots!

Amy, one of our newest Team Members, joined us for her very first Team Event! We were so happy to have her here. This was the square she did – didn't she do a beautiful job!?

I had received that square pattern for Free as Leadership Conference, so decided to play a little bit and did this square using the oval die from the Scallop Oval Frame, and the Scallop Circles in the middle:

Christine working on her square – love the purples!
