On the subject of accessories for the Big Shot Die-Cutting System, check out the new Elegant Bird Bigz Die (see page 10 of 2012 Occasions Mini Catalog) and these projects recently shared by Shelli Gardner, Stampin' Up!'s cofounder and CEO, on her blog ...
The Elegant Bird Bigz Die (#125593) is part of Shelli's Signature Collection, a line of products that reflect her personal style and taste. But it isn't the only new accessory for the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine to be found in the 2012 Occasions Mini. Up next at Stamped Sentiments are projects featuring the new Framelits and Edgelits Dies. Stay tuned ...
With plans to trim our family Christmas tree today, it only seemed appropriate to share this non-card swap featuring the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine with the Snowflake #2 Originals Die ...
I love how fellow demonstrator Carolyn Bosley created similarly themed packaging for this ornament by using the Northern Flurry Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on the cardstock background. And since she provided a supply list, I'll share it with you ...
All of the supplies for this project (except aluminum flashing) can be purchased at my online store, or contact me at padrybala@fuse.net for personal assistance with your order.
Just in time for your Halloween decor, here's the latest banner for the Occasions Banner Club ...
The colors for the panels ... Basic Black, Perfect Plum, Pumpkin Pie and Old Olive ... were chosen because they are the coordinating colors for the Cast-A-Spell Designer Series Paper featured throughout. Decorative accents were created with numerous punches and several Big Shot accessories, namely the Serif Essentials, Naturally Serif and Top Note dies, as well as one of the Texturz Backgrounds 1 plates. Embellishments include Assorted Clips, Metal Edge Tags, Earth Elements Brads, Silver Brads, and coordinating 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon.
Given that this holiday is coming up fast (in fact, I've already seen Halloween decor in some of my neighbors homes), I'm only offering this banner as a kit to make at home (aka "Projects To Go"). All of the supplies you need (except adhesive, which can be purchased separately) and instructions will be available for local pick up or, for those of you who don't live in the Greater-Cincinnati area, can be shipped right to your door.

Earlier this year I announced the Occasions Banner Club. Pictured here is the banner I've designed for Spring ...
My original plan had been for this to have an Easter theme, but time got away from me and it's now too late for that so I went with a Spring theme. I know, Spring officially began ten days ago on March 20th so technically I'm still late, but at least you, or the recipient of your banner, still has several months this year to display it.
Here are some close up photo's of the panels ...
I did stay true to my original plan to feature accessories from both the Pretties Kit and the Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware. And while I had my Big Shot for Stampin' Up! out to die-cut the letters, I also used our new Texturz Plates to dry emboss the So Saffron pieces on the first and last panels. And I just had to use the new Eyelet Border Punch ... love, love, love it!
The fee to attend a class to make this latest banner is $30 payable in advance, though I haven't set any dates yet; I'm looking for your input on that. So if you're interested in attending, e-mail me at padrybala@fuse.net to set a date that works for both you and me.
I'm also still offering these banners as a kit you can make on your own at home. All of the supplies you need (except adhesive, which can be purchased separately) and instructions will be available for local pick up or, for those of you who don't live in the Greater-Cincinnati area, can be shipped right to your door. Cost is $25 each for the Spring banner kit (plus postage, if applicable).
Signing up for the class (or ordering the kit) is easy ... simply e-mail me padrybala@fuse.net by April 13th. Supplies are limited since I used Delicate Dots Designer Series Paper (a current Sale-A-Bration product) and the Love & Happiness Rub-ons from last year's Sale-A-Bration (retired, sentiment may vary).
And with all this talk about Sale-A-Bration, I should remind you that it ends tomorrow, March 31st. Don't delay! Order today!

You can view the Manhattan collection in more detail on page 9 of the Spring-Summer 2009 Idea Book & Catalog. There you'll find the color scheme, coordinating stamp sets and accessories representative of this sophisticated and subtle style.
Sophisticated and subtle, our Manhattan collection represents timeless elegance. This fashionable style combines clean lines, smooth contours, and classic textures. A neutral palette softened by pale swatches of colors embodies the modern and urban Manhattan Style.
