Big Shot Class

Saturday, February 27th is another Big Shot Class - for those who have a Big Shot & also for those who just want to play with one!  Here's one of the projects we're doing. 

This card is a combination of techniques - mostly using the Big Shot.  I really like using the dies & folders in 'out of the box' ways & this card shows you two of them.

The basic idea of punching circles from card stock after it's been embossed with the Finial Press embossing folder is not a new one - I believe Kimberly Van Diepen first made one like this, but I thought the little butterflies from the Beautiful Wings embosslit would add the perfect touch to it.  Plus the little 'friends' tag from the Jewelry Tag punch & Tiny Tags stamp set. 

The colors are simple - Basic Gray & Whisper White.  Don't you find sometimes that keeping a card 'clean & simple' makes it really pop!?

But wait, there's more..... check out the inside of this card!

If you score SU's lattice die-cut in 3 sections you can make a simple pop-up inside your card.  No measuring or fancy cutting!  I used the rest of the Beautiful Wings butterfly die-cuts I got from just one cut.  You get 5 sizes & shapes die-cut all at one time!

The lattice & butterflies lay flat when the card is folded closed, but pop up when it's opened!  Here's how it looks from the side:

You only add adhesive to the outer most folds, not the inside two that will pop-up the butterfly.  And be sure when you adhere this lattice piece you have both the card & the die-cut laying flat.  ***The middle fold line of the lattice lays on the center fold of the card.  Flip up the two outer-most folds of the lattice die-cut & add adhesive (I prefer Tombow Multi Purpose adhesive for this) & then just press it flat onto the main card to secure. 

I'm accepting late RSVP's for this class - until Friday at 3 pm.  Please contact me ASAP to save your spot! 

Cost - $10 or 1/2 price for former Big Shot Club members or anyone who has purchased their Big Shot from me.

Hint: current Big Shot Club members are making this card on Sunday!  See you then.

I love this card! I love the crisp, clean colors but when I saw the inside!...That makes this one even more special! I always love it when the insides are finished off. What a great job!
