Here is the fourth and final design of the workshop projects. I was thrilled when SU! came out with dry embossing folders for the Big Shot! They are slightly bigger than other company’s embossing folders, so they actually cover the entire front of a standard card front, rather than just creating an embossed layer. This folder is "Petals a Plenty". I learned how to create this dry embossed ‘frame’ from fellow SU! demonstrator Patty Bennett. For this design, I used a wooden picture mat with the oval pre-cut from it that I picked up at the craft store.
The focal image comes from the Level 3 Host set "The More the Merrier", stamped in Basic Gray and colored in using a Blender Pen and Stampin’ Write Markers. The Two Way Glue Pen adheres the Dazzling Diamonds Glitter to create the ’snow’ the snowmen are sitting on. I also used the Real Red Stampin’ Write to color the middles of the poinsettias to add just a touch more of color. The Modern Label and Word Window Punches, along with the Red Gingham Ribbon complete this fun design.
The Cinema Saturday Movie this week is "Legally Blonde" with an added challenge of making your project ‘inspirational’. As you can imagine, there are LOTS of pink projects out there! 
I chose a but brighter, darker pink in SU!’s Melon Mambo. The sentiment is my ‘inspiration’ point, "One person can make such a difference and that person is you!" Both the Iridescent Ice embossed butterfly and the sentiment are from SU!’s Flight of the Butterfly Set. Even the set name points to the character of Elle – who definitely finds her wings and shows how one person can make a difference. Her personality sparkles, as does that of several other of the supporting characters, so I *had* to use the sparkle of Iridescent Ice and rhinestone bling! The dry embossed flowers is a Textured Impressions folder from SU! called ‘Elegant Bouquet’. I love that these folders are slightly larger to cover the front of a standard size card, without needing to layer – and of course, I am always thrilled for another reason to play with my Big Shot! (Have I told you lately how much I have been adoring my Big Shot? One of my best purchases this year!)
