Wednesday 201- Beyond the Basics- Big Shot

Here's another way to add dimension and interest to your stamped card creations. Use a Big Shot. You can use it to add die cuts, or as in this example actually die cut the card itself. You can also use it to pressure, or cold emboss. You can also see that in this example; I used a woodgrain embossing folder to add texture and interest to the front of the card.

I used the Thankful Forest Friends stamp set.

Here's a good Big Shot demonstration video by Stampin' Up!

Cricut Shaker Card

I made this fall card with a Cricut and a Big Shot. I cut out the folded card base using the 3 1/2 inch circle original Sizzix die and the light brown with the Cricut. 

Shaker cards are not real hard to make. Especially if you can find the clear popped up circles to put the shaker elements in. 

Happy stamping!
