Stampin' Up! Big Shot - What is it?


Big Shot? What is it?

The Big Shot is a sturdy, manual die-cutting and embossing machine used to die cut materials for use on all kinds of crafts—it's a big deal! You'll love what the Big Shot machine can do for you.

With the Big Shot you can instantly create die-cut or embossed shapes, tags, frames, borders, and more. The Big Shot is portable and requires no electricity. Many of our dies coordinate with our exclusive stamp images, simplifying the creative experience for you.

You'll be able to cut and score 3-D items in seconds. You can create embellishments for cards, scrapbook pages, or any other type of project by cutting multiple images in a short amount of time.

Color Challenge




















This week's Color Challenge was Elegant Eggplant, Island Indigo and Whisper White. I am really super happy with the finished product. I love color challenges because it gives me somewhere to start and then creativity seems to just take over!

I used our new stamp set Daisy Delight that comes out in our new 2017-2018 catalog on June 1st.
This is one stamp set that will be used a WHOLE bunch!

Dimensions:
  • Elegant Eggplant - 2 pieces
    • 8.5 x 5.5  scored and folded at 4.25
    • 5 x 3.75
  • Whisper White - 3 pieces
    • 2 pieces of 5.25 x 4 (1 for the inside of the card) 
    • 3.5 x 5 for the oval and sentiment
Ink: Island Indigo

I  cut the oval from our Stitched Shapes Framelits using the largest oval and I dry embossed the Elegant Eggplant piece with Hexagon Dynamic Textured Impression.

Instructions:

  • Cut your Elegant Eggplant and score it at 4.25 and fold it in half. Use your bone folder on the fold to get a crisp crease.
  • Cut your first two Whisper White pieces and adhere one to the front of the card and one on the inside.
  • Cut your 2nd piece of Elegant Eggplant, place it in the embossing folder and run it through your Big Shot. Adhere it to your card.
  • Stamp your flowers on the last piece of Whisper White cardstock and center them in the stitched oval framelit; run this through your Big Shot to cut it out.
  • With your remaining scrap of Whisper White cut the banner .5 x 2 inches. Stamp your sentiment. Snip the end of the banner if you wish.
  • Secure your oval and sentiment to the card using stampin dimensionals to pop it up.
