The Queen Bee

I've been trying to get my craft on and enjoy my new Sizzix Big Shot while resting and recouperating from being sick (again).  I have to say that I LOVE THIS MACHINE!  It's been really fantastic.  Let me show you some things I've been working on....

This blog will just give you a Peek at my projects.  I'll write tutorials and full blogs on each of them this weekend and over next week...  

The flowers were cut from paper, then I used Collague Pauge to decoupae them onto canvas, highlight with paint, tissue paper and buttons....  See the Painted flower tutorial. 

Last weekend I started some embroidered felt flowers.  This weekend I decided to make a bouquet out of them.  I think they came out quite pretty, if I do say so myself.  The sizzix made this so quick and easy since all I really had to decide was which felt pieces I wanted to put together.  Soooo much opportunity for creativity!!  I can't wait to make more!

Finally, I got this great die cut from Eileen Hull before Christmas but didn't have the chip board to make it.  Now I get to play with it a little.  Maybe Lily and I should make a little Easter villiage.  

Oh, and don't you love the lacy cupcake trimwork?  I made that with a new punch from Fiskars.  Oh yeah, it's going to be lots of fun to play with!

Now, if you want to see how I made any of this, just stay tuned... I'll put up some tutorials that will let you have a little multi dimensional fun with your sizzix too!!  It's not just for papercrafts you know!
