Today, I’m featuring the Big Shot Machine and the Bitty Box and Envelope Die! Got a little carried away with the Bitty Box though… I’ll have to share my envelope ideas another time!
We were limited on this tour to four photos… we really want you got get through all the contributor sites.. So I used My Digital Software to share a composite view of my Bitty Box Big Shot Die Cutting Machine projects 
hope you don’t mind!
The first project I made was a “JOY” banner for the holidays using both silver and red glimmer paper.. believe me, the photo’s don’t come close to doing it justice.. a WHOLE lot of sparkle and seasonal bling going on here!! Wouldn’t it be nice to have a very special gift inside each bitty box in the banner?
Or how about a simple box ornament with silver glimmer paper, brushed gold cardstock, and a rhinestone embellished pearl?
Layering Paper Daisies with the triple doily punched silver glimmer paper is one of my favorite seasonal embellishments!! Great for scrapbook pages, ornaments, and cards too! I’ve topped this one off with an antique brad… isn’t it pretty?
I think this is my favorite project of all… it came to me late last night as I was brainstorming a third project… duh.. Santa Claus! His belly, of course is made from the Bitty Box. Punches and embossing folders comprise the rest of his parts…LOL, he’s reversible too! A 3-d ornament using the bitty box die cut and big shot machine… isn’t that cool?
You could fold up a gift certificate, insert jewelry, or even a car key into this box and sign it from “your secret Santa”… wouldn’t that be cool? LOL, I guess I’ll have to write a tutorial on this one!
Santa’s face and beard resemble another project I made a couple years ago… remember the Woodland Santa? You can view that project HERE.
On stop #8 on the Stampin’ Addicts Big Shot Blog Hop, you’ll visit Paula’s creative blog at Stampin With Paula! She’ll be featuring the new Perfect Pennants Die, and I can’t wait to see what she’s come up with, I’m sure we won’t be disappointed!

Hello Sharon, popped in from Crafty Hazelnut's challenge blog to thank you for your kind comment on the card I made for the challenge. I was lucky enough to win the prize. Love your box ornament - it's just gorgeous. I have just started making my own embellishments wherever possible and I'd love to make something as beautiful as that. Thanks again for your kind words - it's appreciated. Elizabeth x

Love that boxy santa - so cute!
Super cute ideas, Sharon!! You out did yourself :)
Wowzer...love the Santa and that elegant little box, and that banner! Oh, I love it all.
Your Santa is delightful! I think I like your Joy banner the best though. All the glimmer is too fabulous to turn down!
You have made me think about this little box in a whole new way! Thank you!
Amazing projects Sharon! Love the Santa project. Hmmm, I'd love a secret Santa to give me a car! :)
Wow Sharon! That Joy banner is beautiful with all the glitter and bling. And the Bitty Santa Box is too cute! Great projects! Hey could you make the Santa so his arms and legs could move? That would even be more fun!
Gorgeous box - the top layered flower is AMAZING!
Really great! Lisajake128@yahoo.com
