Today I'm going to share with you a Big Shot Book I asked one of my downline to help me put together when she was over at my house a couple of weeks ago. Jill Olsen shared this idea at Leadership Conference and I really loved it! The idea is to just put together a 6×6 book just in page protectors of the Big Shot Shapes, since the catalog doesn't show them true to size. If you're a Demonstrator, this is a great business tool! If you're not a Demonstrator, this is something great to have on hand for your own reference – you can get together with some friends and die cut the shapes you don't have to fill the book!

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• I am HOOKED on the Color Spritzer Tool! Seriously, I can't stop! Just about every card I've made in the past 2 days had to be spritzed with Chocolate Chip marker – the end result is just too cool!
• These darling flower shapes come from one of my favorite new dies, a Stampin' Up! Exclusive, "Blossom Party". They're so much fun to work with, especially with these Neutral Brads!
• One can never have enough circles. My personal opinion. I used most of the circle punches here, and even the Circle Die. To create tiny trim circles, start with your smallest circle, I used the 1-1/4", and then line up the next size up around that, I used the 1-3/8" — it's MUCH easier to be working that direction than trying to punch a smaller circle into a punch out you've already made.

I showed you a close up of the Scallop Trim Border Punch in yesterday's post here, so I won't repeat any of that. But I will show you a close up of two of the Sale-A-Bration exclusive Stamp Sets that I used on this card — earn one free with a $50 order!! Earn them both free with a $100 order! Better yet, spend $150 and get the punch for free, too!

"I learned that for some of us, our recovery will involve being helped by others, and for some it will involve helping others. Some won't want anybody to know, while others will show and describe all that we have been through. And no matter what, it is all okay. It's okay to be afraid, to cry, to yell, to laugh; it's all okay. It's been two years and I have never felt so blessed, loved, and believe it or not, lucky. It has taught me that it can always be worse and that there is always a blessing to be counted. I have found that there is a sisterhood out there and I am part of it. I am a part of this strong and wonderful group of women that I can count on and they can count on me too. I am so honored to be a part of this. I am blessed.

Here's a look at today's Card of Hope:

ALY'S HELPFUL HINTS:

• How is this card so wonderfully shimmery? With Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, that's how! This fabulous must have is basically clear EP mixed with glitter. Use it like any other EP — stamp your image in VersaMark, sprinkle on the powder, and heat with a Heat Tool! Using this medium even allows the glitter to be more mess free, sticking in with the EP much more than if you used glue.
• To add Iridescent Ice EP to the butterfly and torn cardstock edge — simply use your VersaMark Inkpad as it's own stamp, directly pressing the pad to cardstock!
• A simple white border around the edge of the card allows the images to all pop a little more, with a color scheme like this, you need the white to brighten things up!

WHAT TO ORDER:

Hope Happens Stamp Set (113722), Baroque Motif Stamp Set (113490), Whisper White Cardstock (100730), Pretty in Pink Cardstock (100459), Basic Black Classic Ink (101179), Regal Rose Cardstock (105130), Rose Red Cardstock (102544), Groom Specialty Paper (116478), Basic Black Grosgrain Ribbon (115605), Clear Rhinestone Brads (113144), Vintage Brads 109109), Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (101930), Heat Tool (100005), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430), VersaMark Pad (102283), Mat Pack (105826), Paper Piercing Tool (116631), Stampin' Up!
