Let's go shopping

Lately, I've been taking out my Sizzix Eclips machine and trying to learn all the different features that this machine comes with. I am starting to get used to it but I have such a bad memory that I tend to forget how to get to where I want to go.
The machine is so amazing when it cuts that I couldn't believe how smooth and quick I was able to cut this ornate gate out. If you have this machine, this is on the holiday cartridge.
I used CC Designs "shopping" girl stamp since I do love to go shopping.
The border punch is a Martha Stewart punch called pinking scallops which I bought from the store.
I finally got around to making the pop-up bat. I decided to put it on this box (box #2) instead of inside a card. I glittered his wings with Doodlebug fine glitter.
Box #2 is a discontinued die but I'm sure some of the stores still have it.
And lastly, I decided to make a full bat to hang from the ceiling. You just have to cut out more circles to make a full bat.
Thanks for stopping by today and I know I haven't been posting much but check back here again to see the boxes that I cut out with the Eclips machine. Have a great day!!!

Oh no Cheryl, I think I NEED to get the Eclips machine if only to cut the gate! Your card is adorable and reminds me how much I love to shop....like I need to be reminded. I really want to get that CC Design stamp too! Compliments on your last two bat projects. They turned out really well.

I really love that gate, and everything else about the card, the color combo, and that MS punch. Guess gotta visit the store ;). That bat is cute and scary, very very Halloween. Thanks for sharing :D
