Moving...Again!

It's official-we're moving again.  This time to a suburb of Chicago.  I only have a few more days until the moving truck arrives.  New York has been nice, and we will miss our neighbors and friends! 

Speaking of friends, here's a project I made for my secret sister last month. 

Its a felt pouch made to look like candy corn.  I used the Big Shot pennent die and cut it out four times, I then cut 3 of the pennents so that I could sew them together to get the different colors of the candy corn.  Once the three different colors were sewn together I used the one solid one for the back of the pouch and stitched it together with the tri-colored one to create the pouch. 

The Big Shot is just the coolest tool ever-it can cut through so many materials!

Can you believe it's October already?

I can't believe September is gone!  When I got my secret sister package Halloween seemed so far off, and now it I feel like it's just around the corner!   I promised a closer look at some of the gifts from my wonderful package so here you go....

Tote-ally Tess craft keeper-it's a plastic storage folder that has been personalized just for me!  Isn't it adorable?  My name was spelled using alphabet dies with the Big Shot.  The entire decorated piece of cardstock was then inserted into the plastic folder and attached to the inside using mini glue dots in each of the corners.

Here is a look at some of the cards, super easy and super cute when you use Stampin' Up!'s Designer Paper-these cards use the Wicked Fun Specialty designer paper from page 172 in the Idea Book and Catalog.
