Stampin Up Big shot Box Thinlits class

We are going to "think outside the box" this Thursday at the Big shot class! Think outside the Stampin up thinlit boxes that is! I always love to find ways to show you how to get more than one use out of a product and these thinlits are full of alternative ideas! There are a wealth of ideas all over pinterest from wonderful, creative Stampin up demonstrators who share their ideas!


                    First up we will be making a lovely pop out card from the window box thinlits!
                                           Thank you to Mitosu crafts for this ingenious idea!

Here is a Half sized treat bag from the Mini Treat bag thinlits!

Thanks Patty Bennett for thinking outside the box for this cute bag! I love the bubbles on this paper from the retired Saleabration bubbles n fizz.  You can still at least get the bubbles from the Bubble over bundle, stamps and die cuts! 

Next up is a mini take out gift box from the Popcorn box thinlits!

Thanks to Stampingwithamore for this cute little mini box idea! I love the now retired designer paper from Saleabration called bubbles n fizz. While at first I dismissed it with the bottles but the other side of the papers are very versatile, hearts, stars, bubbles, and stripes-too cute! I sure wish it could have stuck around awhile longer, but at least the Bubble over bundle is still available! 

Last up, but certainly not least is an adorable Birdhouse from the Home sweet home thinlits!

I have come across this with other templates and thought for sure there had to be one out there for the stampin up home sweet home thinlits. I was set on a birdhouse and found an adorable doghouse idea from Hannelore Drews and while it was in another language I was able to figure out the how to make it work for my birdhouse! Enjoy!

Stampin up March Scrapbook kits

March Scrapbook kits! Hope you are ready for some fun bright colors! Pick 3 kits for $20 and each additional is just $5.00! 

First up is Life is a beautiful thing with some pretty sunshine! I used the sets Colorful seasons and Touches of Texture. Colors: Crumb cake, bermuda blue and Crushed curry.

Life is a Beautiful thing: 

Next is Happy for you, I used the stamp set from Saleabration called Happy Wishes. I used Colorful seasons again for the flower branches, Always and Forever for the tree stumps and Tabs for Everything.  Colors: Fresh fig, rich razzleberry, berry burst, early espresso, powder pink and crumb cake.

Happy For you:

This kit uses the Large letters alphabet stamp set and wood words for the flowers. Colors: Tranquil tide, Lemon lime twist and basic black.

Fun:

Next up features the wonderful thinlits set for Saleabration, it works like a dream! I am glad it will be in the new 2018-19 catalog! I didn't have to use wax paper or a dryer sheet! The words popped out great! I also used the embossing folder celebrate using a technique called embossing folder stamping. Simply use a solid type stamp, the one I used here is from  Happy Celebrations, ink up the stamp and stamp over the embossing folder word and it will pick up the word, then you can stamp it on to cardstock!  Stamp sets used were Happy Celebrations, Saleabration set Amazing you, Birthday blooms. Colors: Dapper denim, lemon lime, tranquil tide and pool party.

Let's celebrate amazing you:

Stamp sets used for this are Saleabration set Epic Celebrations, Hostess set Dare to dream. Colors: Crushed curry, real red, pool party and smoky slate. 

Awesome Adventure:

This layout used the Hostess sets Dare to dream and Yay you. Colors: Melon Mambo, basic black and whisper white. I love the embossed designer paper a couple of holiday catalogs ago called Fancy frost, the look great on any occasion. 

You're the Best:

I just love these colors in the Saleabration paper pack called Bubbles and Fizz, while the bottles aren't my favorite, the other side of this designer paper is really nice, hearts, stars and bubbles. I used a retire stamp set called Cake crazy, Good Vibes, the Hostess set from the Occasions catalog Yay you and the Saleabration set called Eclectic Expressions. Colors are Calypso coral, Bermuda bay, Lemon lime, Basic gray and smoky slate.

Good Vibes:

My favorite new designer paper from the Occasions catalog is Picture perfect party. I love the real life pictures and the colors are so vibrant and fun! I used the saleabration thinlits for the celebrate die cut, Stamp sets are Picture perfect birthday, Tabs for everything, Hostess set dare to dream. Colors:  Berry burst, Lemon lime, peekaboo peach and basic black.

Celebrate the good stuff:
