Did you know that the Big Shot can cut through over 50 different types of materials?

 

The Top 10 Unusual Materials that can be used in the Big Shot:

1. Fine Sandpaper
2. Balsa Wood (3/32")
3. Pop-up Sponge
4. Aluminum (.016")
5. Clear Acetate (20 mil)
6. Iron-on Fabric
7. Thin Leather
8. Shelf Liner
9. Fun Foam
10. 100% pure beeswax (cut with parchment paper on top & bottom of beeswax) 

 

Here are 3 samples using these unusual materials:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the Big Shot and the Serif Essentials Alphabet Dies to make the "J" and "Y" using white felt.  The Bigz dies cut felt just as easily as paper.  You can also use the Bigz dies to cut material, cork, vinyl, etc.  The snowflake is from the Felt Flurries in the Holiday mini-catalog.

 

Stamps:  Snow Swirled

Ink:  Night of Navy

Paper:  Going Gray and Night of Navy

Bling:  Felt Flurries, Rhinestone Brad, Going Gray and White taffeta ribbon

 

 

This "Peace" card was made using the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine.  The Big Shot is so easy to use that my kids prefer it over the Cuttlebug.  I used the new Pacific Point cardstock and a white gel pen to finish off the card.

Shelli Gardner recently demonstrated place settings for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years using the Ski Slope Designer Series Paper, Top Note Big Shot die, and the Curly Label Punch Bunch.  She also shows a treat box for Christmas using the Big Shot pillow box die.  You can view the video by clicking here or on the picture.

The Winter Post stamp set is a combination of elegant and vintage.  I paired the stamp set with Kraft cardstock using the Top Note Big Shot die and the Alpine Originals ribbon.  I also sponged Close to Cocoa ink onto the Kraft cardstock to enhance the vintage look.  The card was finished by mounting the Kraft cardstock onto Chocolate Chip and Riding Hood Red cardstock. 

This Baja Breeze square card (4-1/4" x 4-1/4") features the Join in the Cheer Big Shot die (only available from SU!).  The die has the saying "Peace & Joy & Love & Cheer" but I only used the "Joy" part.  The card is embellished with Ski Slope Designer Series Paper from the Holiday mini catalog punched with the scallop edge, white taffeta ribbon, and halfback pearls from the Pretties Kit.  Joy!

This pillow box is made using the Big Shot and is a baby version of my previous post.  I used the same Alpine Ribbon Originals, square scallop punch, and Designer Label Punch.  The finished size is 2" x 3-1/4".  Please note that this size is perfect for cash but too small for a gift card.
