Freebie Friday 3!

Happy Freebie Friday, everyone! I had fun coming up with today's giveaway. I used the scallop envelopes bigz die to make these cute little envelopes and matching inserts:

I used the kraft designer series paper from the 6x6 hostess sampler in the Fall-Winter catalog and then embellished with the felt flowers and rhinestone brads. Here's the packaging:

I made this out of a standard card size envelope (this would be the "Medium" envelopes in the Stampin'Up! catalog). I sealed the envelope, cut it in half and then scallop edged it. Then just dressed it up a bit with the kraft DSP and chocolate brown double stitched ribbon and viola! Cute little packaging for the envelopes and inserts.

Sorry about the resolution - I had to take these pictures on my cell phone again so I could upload them quick on my computer. Boy - can I just tell you I can't wait til our new computer comes? In this day and age, it seems ridiculous to have to wait so long! Oh well, I guess I have no choice but wait til it gets here!

Anyways, back to the Freebie Friday giveaway. After a couple weeks of doing this, I've come to a few logistical conclusions. To play in Freebie Friday, please leave me a comment on today's post before midnight PST, and also, please leave me an email address as well - that way I can contact you right away if you win and can email you directly for your address info :) If I don't have a valid email address for you, I won't be able to include you in the drawing. So today's question is multiple parts, actually: 1) Have you ever used a die cut machine? 2) What kind? 3) What's your favorite die cut or embossing plate? Remember, you can also leave a general comment or you can answer today's questions :) Look forward to hearing from you!
