Tip Tuesday-Big Shot and more!

BIG SHOT 

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 and your customers. 

Planning and preparing Make & Takes is fast and economical with the Big Shot machine. You'll be able to cut and score 3-D items in seconds and the projects will be ready for your customers to enjoy. Or create embellishments for cards, scrapbook pages, or any other type of project by cutting multiple images in a short amount of time.

Big Shot Embossing Mats:
Your favorite Framelits, Thinlits, and Edgelits dies can do more when paired with the Embossing Mats. Use with dies that have decorative ejection holes for additional embossing. Or use with cutting dies to emboss instead of cut. Includes Impressions Pad, thin silicone rubber mat, and thick silicone rubber mat.

Serene Garden

Each month our team lead sends us a few elements to create a card. Last month she sent us a piece of Rich Razzleberry Ribbon, a cutout of the dove and an embossed image from the Serene Garden. I colored in the embossed image with Grapefruit Grove and Call me Clove for the leaves. It almost looks as if I did some water coloring but I did not. I love how it turned out. I then added a rose in the corner and a clip to hold the ribbon from the Share What You Love embellishment suite as well as some DSP from the same suite.

Tuesday Tip- Punches

PUNCHES OH MY!

Even if you have a die cutting machine, punches are still a crafting must-have item. When you need something quick, these are the go to item. From time to time our punches do not seem to cut like they used to or should. Here are some tips to help you get that punch back in shape:

• Punch only paper or standard cardstock. Forcing thicker materials could damage your punch.
• Glimmer, glitter or flocked paper can dull the cutting edges.
• Punch on a flat surface (facing up or down) and press down and try to apply even pressure. Hand punching can cause uneven pressure which can cause edges of your punch to be uneven.
•  Keep you punches clean and dry. Brush them off if they have not been used in a while. Dust can collect and cause your punches to be uneven.
• Sharpen those dull edges-Sharpen them by punching through aluminum foil a few times and then punch through wax paper to lubricate the punch.
• Freeze it!-If the punch is stuck or jammed, stick it in the freezer. The metal will contract as it gets cold and help release the material.

"Punched accents are a great addition to any project on your list" so take care of those punches.
