Yep. Even though it still doesn’t feel like it here in Colorado I do believe that Christmas is on it’s way. Since it’s coming despite what the thermometer says I guess I need to start sharing more Christmas projects! 🙂
This is a fun and easy card using Greetings from Santa stamp set and the Detailed Santa Thinlits. Isn’t this intricate Santa gorgeous? He’s really easy to cut out…especially if you’re using the correct “sandwich” on your Big Shot.
You definitely want to use the Precision Base Plate when using intricate dies like this one. When you use the Precision Base Plate you exchange it for the bottom clear Standard Cutting Pad. So your “sandwich” would be: platform, Precision Base Plate, paper, intricate thinlit, clear Standard Cutting Pad.
I think that the hardest part of using the Big Shot is figuring out what your “sandwich” should be. I had a class a few weeks ago and on every card we used the Big Shot at least once and I swear that each time someone came up to use the Big Shot it was a different “sandwich”. I definitely had to supervise the Big Shot on that day. It was a little crazy. Of course the cards were all fabulous! 🙂
Have a great day! Take care and Happy Stamping!
