Beautiful Butterflies in 3D

The other month I held a 3D class as my regular Stampin' Up! class. We also made a Snow Globe card but I'll show you guys that one closer to Christmas.

The other 2 projects we made were a pop up card and a matching gift box using the Fancy Favour Bigz XL die.

 Here is the card we made, inside and out, we used some window sheets to cut a spiral so that the embosslit butterflies seem to fly off the page.

And the matching box, isn't this so cute?? Perfect size for popping some home made yummies or a bit of jewellery inside.

3x3" Thank You and an exciting Announcement!!

I've been neglecting this blog a little lately, sorry about that but I think you'd agree that I have a good excuse... I've been trying to post every week but I missed last week, so I'll start over and try again.
This is a little card I made up to go in a parcel I sent away yesterday, I love this little love note style, such a great way to use up scraps of DSP! And very quick and easy, especially if you use a couple of Big Shot dies, which brings me to my exciting announcement:

The BIG SHOT is COMING!!!

SU! never, ever comment on what will be in a mini catalogue before the demonstrator preorder starts, however this time they were kind enough to announce that when the Fall/Winter mini catalogue is released in April 2010 they will also be including the Bigshot and some SU! exclusive dies... At this stage there are no more details about price or what dies they will be releasing etc all we know is that it is coming along with a few SU! exclusive Dies. The butterflies on this card were made with the SU! exclusive Bigz Die "Beautiful Butterflies" that my gorgeous sister-in-law was kind enough to send me from the US and I'm hoping that it will be released here with the bigshot as it is such a gorgeous die that I know you will love!
Anyway between now and April I hope to tempt your crafting tastebuds with a few bigshot creations so that when it is available here you will already be inspired and ready to create.
