Deal #2 - - the perfect little bag

To celebrate the new catalog that was released July 1st, Stampin' Up! is offering a special deal each week during the month of July. They will not disclose the new deal of the week until the previous week is finished. Last week the deal was the Scallop Edge Punch being sold for only $10.99 (that's over a 30% savings!) Some of my fellow stampers took me up on the special offer and I know they will be happy that they did because it's such a great little tool that can help pretty up a card or any crafty creation.

This week's deal starting today through July 13th, is the Doctor's Bag used specifically to carry the Big Shot die cut machine. The Doctor's Bag normally runs for $69.95, but is now on sale for $49.99. This is over a 30% savings!!

**Description from the Stampin' Up! website: Carry your Big Shot machine, cutting pads, and dies in stunning style. This black-and-white checked doctor’s bag makes storing and transporting your Big Shot machine easy and convenient. It has handles for carrying and a shoulder strap for when your hands are full of other crafting supplies.

I don't have the Big Shot machine, but I'm still thinking about getting this bag! The Big Shot is on my Christmas list, and I would love to have a great little bag to carry it with me to my workshops and events. (Of course...if I actually get the Big Shot for Christmas -- hint, hint, mom!)

Please contact me if you are interested in purchasing the Doctor's Bag at this discounted rate. Or if you're interested in purchasing the Big Shot, we can chat more about that, too!

Since we're talking about the Big Shot...

I thought I would share with you some of the cards I have made using the die cut machine that my friend let me borrow a month or so ago.

My favorite two dies that I played around with were the Scallop Circle #2 Bigz Die and the Top Note Bigz Die.

Here's what I came up with for fun using the Scallop Circle...
