Big Shot Class

At April's class we concentrated on using the Embossing folders and shared tips on how to do selective embossing.

Here are our 3 projects.  For the first card we made I showed how to line up your clear cutting mats so that you don't get a line across your paper when embossing only half of a layee.  On the tag we embossed using the Oval Designer Frame and this one can often crease in the corners so I showed some tips on how to reduce this.

I focused on the new In Colours and the Flower Vase stamp from Button Buddies, such a great set suitable for so many occasions.  We also used "Borderlines" and "Your'e a Gem" stamps which are soon to disappear when the Spring Mini Catalogue finishes at the end of this month.

The next card is a bit of a technique, selective/double embossing (that's my name for it!) and this is something I would have to show in person as it's just toooo difficult to explain.  If you would like to see this in action why not book a party, invite your friends around for a creative evening and learn something new.

Last but not least this cute little Pillow Box die cut with the Big Shot.  Here we also used the Oval Designer Frame in a way that we didn't get lines from the edge of the embossing folder where we didn't want them!

I played around for ages getting the right layers for these embossing techniques and now just need to remember them but the results are great.
