Dies are for more than paper.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know that our dies for the Big Shot can be used for more than paper? They can also be used to stencil or help cut clay. In this case I used Paperclay and rolled it out pretty thin.Continue reading “Dies are for more than paper.”
Protecting your foil.
It’s Technique Tuesday! I wanted to give you a tip on how to protect your foil paper from being marred when being run through the Big Shot. Take a piece of waxed paper and stack on top of the foil paper. Then run through the Big Shot with a die, framelit, thinlit, or embossing folder.Continue reading “Protecting your foil.”
3D Stenciling
It’s Tutorial Thursday! The easiest way to create a 3D stencil is to grab your white or black (depends if the paper is light or dark), create a stencil with dies or punches, grab some ink, and a sponge.

Anything plastic can hold your stamps.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! In this case it is not a product being used in a way it is not intended but a lack of product. Imagine that you have gone on vacation and packed all your clothes, toothbrush, and a couple of projectsContinue reading “Anything plastic can hold your stamps.”

Now I have my channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTZYaEvaoc_I5-cQKvZuN5Q but there are many others. So I figured I would introduce you to the Stampin’ Up! channel. This particular project is reallyContinue reading “A new YouTube channel.”
Heat tool for a motorcycle.
It’s Wacky Wednesday where a product is used in a way it is not intended! Did you know that you could use the heat tool to help nuts and bolts release? Blast the stuck part with the heat tool for about two minutes (don’t touch) and then unscrew. The heat will allow the bolt toContinue reading “Heat tool for a motorcycle.”
Zig zags.
It’s Technique Tuesday! When creating a zig zag card make sure your scores are going the opposite direction. So when you score the second line flip the card stock over first. That way you can bend the card stock opposite without cracking. By folding it opposite this will create the zig zag. Happy Crafting! WithContinue reading “Zig zags.”
Spinning apes and how to create them.
It’s Tutorial Thursday! Watch as I create a card with a spinning ape. You will want to cut a piece of card stock for a card base and score in the middle. Then you will cut mats of the same color that are light enough to stamp on at 5 1/4″ X 4″ and 5″Continue reading “Spinning apes and how to create them.”
