Sundays with Sizzix: Buttons #5 Sizzlit

Today I have a fun birthday card idea (adapted from a card I recently saw) featuring retiring products, your Big Shot and Buttons #5 Sizzlit. This is the perfect card idea to use up your scrap cardstock; I used the retiring 2011-13 In Colors.

Ink: Wisteria Wonder

Paper: Whisper White (8 1/2 x 5 1/2"); Wisteria Wonder (3/4 x 3 1/2"; 2 1/2 x 2 1/4"), Lucky Limeade (3/4 x 3 1/2"; 2 1/2 x 2 1/4"), Calypso Coral (3/4 x 3 1/2"; 2 1/2 x 2 1/4"), Island Indigo (3/4 x 3 1/2"; 2 1/2 x 2 1/4"), Pool Party (3/4 x 3 1/2"; 2 1/2 x 2 1/4")

Sundays with Sizzix: Two Tags die

I am going to be so sad to see the Two Tags die retire at the end of this month that I decided to use it for today's Sundays with Sizzix blog post. This die is so versatile - it can be used for cards, scrapbook pages, and super cute 3D items. 

Today I am going to show you a fun Up, Up & Away card idea that is quite different from other cards you might have made recently!

Sundays with Sizzix: Needlepoint Border embossing folder

Happy Easter everyone! Today I have a really fun and very easy to create Easter card using my Big Shot and Needlepoint Border embossing folder. The best part is that I created the entire layer using My Digital Studio!

I recently saw a completely different card that was created using My Digital Studio and that gave me the idea to create today's card. I created the entire layer using My Digital Studio, printed it on my home printer, trimmed it using my Paper Trimmer and then embossed it using my Big Shot:

Happy Easter Hybrid Card

Brush stamp sets: Delightful Dozen, Little Additions

Digital Punch: Circle

Ink Colors: Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, So Saffron, Pretty in Pink 

Card stock: Pink Piroutte (8 1/2 x 5 1/2"), Whisper White (8 1/2 x 11 to run through printer)

Accessories: Big Shot, Needlepoint Border embossing folder #129383, Snail Adhesive, Paper Trimmer, My Digital Studio, Simply Scored

And now for the video tutorial: enjoy!

My Digital Studio can be used for so many project ideas and this is just one of them. I hope you can see how easy it is to create a card in minutes. And by using my Big Shot to add the Needlepoint border and adhering it to the Pink Pirouette I created a "hybrid" card.
