Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine
.
Since I frequently “showcase” the handmade cards I make at my two card clubs, I thought it would be interesting to show you a clever little machine I use for most of the cards we make…the Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine by Sizzix. Here are some of the things it can do:
Emboss
Using an embossing folder, you can add a raised texture design to a piece of paper.
Die-Cuts
Using dies, you can cut a perfect shape.
Emboss and Cut
Using these clever little Embosslits folders, you can cut and emboss at the same time.
If you enjoy papercrafting, this is a very versatile machine.
when my mom goes to card class she uses one of these also, well SHE doesn’t use it cos it rather frightens her and she is afeared she will break it so her friend at the table does her cards for her.

That is brilliant. How clever. We wish we could do things like that but my assistant is useless. Have a wonderful Wednesday.

I have a little green cuttlebug. Must admit I don’t use it as much as I should. I have got a fair few embossing folders and dies now.
Your cards are always really lovely.
The Big Shot is great, I have had a Sizzix machine for many years and love it.

Oh now that looks like a lot of fun! I got a Cricut a couple Christmas’ ago but I haven’t used it!
When I was big into scrapbooking, I had dreams of getting a paper embosser. You make me wish I had one!
That looks like so much fun!
It’s a great toy, isnt it? – the BS and other related die cutting machines. they give us so many possibilities and add that extra wow factor to hand made cards.
I do not have BS myself – mine is spellbinders wizard 🙂
i love that wood textured plate 🙂
