BKD002 Princess Hand Mirror. This cute design was done by Judy Stark.  We used our chalk board vinyl for the center and it makes an adorable portable chalkboard for a child.  We do sell  CHALKBOARD vinyl by the sheet! This is the heavy and durable vinyl and we also have the markers online! We cut one piece of .022 chipboard for the large oval and two pieces of it for the handle for stability. We also glued a paperclip in between the two pieces of chipboard that makes the handle . Then all pieces were covered with card stock. The scrolls do not have chipboard.  We did mirror the crown and scrolls so the back would be covered.  If you have Funtime software (what comes with the Gazelle)  you can mirror with one click of the mouse. The Crown piece and scrolls were cut out of glitter paper to add some bling.  We carry a wonderful glitter paper in our www.bosskut.com store that does not shed glitter and sparkles more then most glitter paper.  You can also use a metallic paper for the center so it looks like a real mirror or any paper you choose.

Spring Card by Phyllis Parkins

I used our new Lattice Pop Kut Butterfly on this card.  So quick and easy all cut in one piece but yet has great dimension.  I love using the pop kuts they add so much to your project. The lattice butterfly is BKD010 and can be found at www.bosskutdiecuts.com

Card Using New Spider Daisy by Phyllis Parkins

I cut the daisy out of medium weight card stock (K and Company) I cut two large daisys and one small one . Both sizes come in the design. I used a couple of colors of chalk ink to shade them and give them more depth.  I also cut the one piece scroll (that comes with with daisy file) and applied it first, then simply added the three layers of daisy and for the center I cut one and covered it with flower soft to make it look more like a real daisy center and give it texture. I had a very fast and simple card.  I cut all of this on my Gazelle. I do use a vinyl blade when I’m cutting very intricate and delicate parts.  The vinyl blade being a little narrower is perfect for small or very delicate parts. Folr cutting very small or delicate parts on the Gazelle there are more instructions in the Boss Kut Gazelle Owners Forum.  http://www.bosskutforum.com/

Lattice Box by Terri Mouw

You can cut this little box with or without the lattice top.  I cut this with the lattice top and filled it with potpourri.  I cut a small piece of netting and glued inside under the lattice top to prevent the potpourri from falling out but still able to get the scent.  I used a antique brass bow for and embellishment as well as the pop kut butterfly.  We added the lattice box as a freebie for a week so grab it while you can.

I will add more new designs in the next few days so be sure and check back

Judy Stark designed us an egg wrapper with her new bunny. How cute is this? She did a cupcake wrapper to match.  This is a ONE CUT pattern a/k/a Pop-Kut ! No glue needed!  Cut, pop out the bow and color if you want.   You can put an empty cupcake paper (the ones you bake the cupcakes in) in the cupcake wrapper and fill it with candys or goodies and it makes a great little favor or a fun surprise for your children.

Easter Egg Wrappers

Posted on March 25, 2011 by Phyllis

It will be Easter time before we know it!  My youngest are at the age now where they’re learning to spell and read and can easily recognize their own names so I thought it would be fun to make them some personalized Easter eggs.  And, since we eat such a BIG lunch, I thought it would be even more fun to create a little egg stand and serve them their personalized egg for breakfast.  Here’s how they turned out…

Egg Holders by Katie

Aren’t they cute??  I used some pink and orange vinyl for their names/initials and simply applied them to the already colored eggs.  Now for these, I colored them with Glimmer Mist but you could easily do it the old fashioned way too.  Just make sure your eggs are completely dry before you attempt to adhere the vinyl.  AND, keep them refrigerated until they’re ready to serve or they will sweat and the vinyl will come loose.  Can you guess what I used to make the little stands??  It’s the Scallop Cupcake Wrapper….shrunken!!  I simply shrunk it down to approximately 5 1/2 inches in the software and cut.  Of course, these eggs won’t make it ’til Easter but they’ll sure make a fun afternoon snack today!    You could also use your vinyl as a mask OR a stencil and color your egg AFTER you put the vinyl on.  Then, let it completely dry and remove the vinyl and you will have a reverse effect.  Fun stuff!
