Exploring a Hot Spot!!

I bet that title grabbed your attention *wink*..... well I've been creating using the Hot Spot Large Base die from Paper Smooches for my DT post at Make the Day Special. It's such a fun and versatile shape with lots of scope for your imagination to run with, come and see :0)

First up I've used it to make a Teacher Thanks card and also my entry to the Rainbow challenge at Addicted to CAS, I couldn't resist stamping those rainbow coloured pencils out and using the die as a box for them....

The black, Kraft and acetate layers are all cut with the large die in the set but the two base layers are turned 180 degrees so the window is hidden under the Kraft layer.

James is off to a friends birthday lunch today and a card was needed, his mate loves seals and this little guy from Paper Smooches was an obvious choice, so I used the small zig zag strips from the smaller die and glued them snugly together to make water for the ice hole on the card...

By trimming down the side of the die cut you can use the positive and negative zig zags making 5 from each colour... enough to make a good sized pattern :0) Hehe doesn't he look cute in his scarf??

Right I need to get going and deliver James at his friends house, he's looking smart and is rather excited about the mini disco afterwards.... I hope they haven't got any low ceiling lights because at 6' 4" he's rather tall to cut some moves on the dance floor!!!

Thanks for stopping by :0)
