VC Rocks June Blog Hop - Big Shot Madness

Welcome to my little spot in the world wide web. You must have come from Nancy Keithley’s amazing Scrapbook Kits and More page at www.fancynancykay.blogspot.com. From here you will continue on your way to visit Stacey Coombs at Stampin Stace .www.stampinstace.blogspot.com If you are lost and confused you may go to back to the beginning HERE. If you are simply overwhelmed by the AMAZING creativity of these Rockers, I can't help with that J Sit back, get a bag of chocolate and a cup of coffee and hop along. I have enjoyed every VC Rocks Blog Hop and I hope you do too.

I love my Big Shot! I really do not know if it is possible for me to design a card without it. As my fellow VC Rocker, Carey Rogers, calls it a "he or him" and refers to it as "Mr. Big Shot." I honestly can say he is more useful than some of the family members in my house. But he cannot keep your feet warm at night and he does not purr.

My project below was actually from a card class taught by my Soul Sister, Shannon Miramontes. She should be a VC Rocker but she has the cutest almost 3 year old (who does not nap everyday anymore) so I share my VC Rocks experience with her. (BTW: she loves the May Swaps.) Shannon and I also have a blog we work on together with our craft fair ideas. We are SoulSisters-StampInStyle.blogspot.com

The card base is Baja Breeze. The technique used with Mr. Big Shot is called Embedded Embossing. In a nutshell, you layer all your papers, glue them together, then send the whole thing through Mr. Big Shot. He can handle it. I have never broken a plate, but I have folded back that extra flap a time or two.

Supplies you'll need for this card are: Baja Breeze, Marina Mist, Old Olive, and Whisper White Card Stock. Green House Gala DSP. Antique Brads, Whisper White 5/8” Satin Ribbon, and The Bird Punch. For your Big Shot you will need the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder. Really, that's it. If you want the measurements, please email me, but it is a pretty straight forward card design with a very special technique. I hope you try this out someday. Let me know what you think with a comment.

Next you will continue on to Stacey Coombs. www.stampinstace.blogspot.com. If you want to go back one hop click www.fancynancykay.blogspot.com. To go back the beginning of the hop click HERE.

Soul Sisters join create juices in June

Wow! What a way to loose track of time. I think I have caught up with myself, finally.

We had Ryan's birthday, his First Holy Communion, baseball games, thunder storms, cat scan, school field trips, orthodontist visits, two mental health days, found Cooper a new home, field day, doctor visits, Memorial day, awards ceremonies, class parties, last-day-of-school, and The Great American Scrapbook Event.

Here are the cards for my June class. Shannon and I both designed two cards. Can you guess which two are mine? Come to either of our classes and take home 3 each of the four designs for $20 or FREE with a $35 catalog order.


I hope the wait was worth it!!! This month Shannon and I each designed two cards for a combined card class. You get two designers for the price of one! Lots of techniques & tricks, ribbon & rhinestones, and shimmer & shine! You will make 3 each of the four designs for only $20. Think what you'll save over shopping at Hallmark! OR get them all for FREE if you place a $35 catalog order with us.

We look forward to seeing you at either of our homes next week!
