A new path...
I’ve
been meaning to start a blog for quite a while - how appropriate that my first
blog post falls on my grandson’s second birthday and the card I want to share
is the one I made for him! I used the eclipse technique, Stampin’ Up’s Zoo Babies, Large Letters, and
Painted Harvest. The card came together
quickly but the envelope was another story!
Wouldn’t you think that would be the easy part? Just didn’t have a big enough piece of
paper! this card is 11 1/2" x 4 1/4".
If
you want to try the eclipse method for any card, you’ll soon see how easy it
is. You can use any die – it doesn’t
have to be letters. Stamp your image,
place the die where you want it and run it through your Big Shot. Set the shape aside and adhere the rest of
the cardstock to the backing of your choice, then use dimensionals to pop the
shape up!
If
you want your card front embossed, run it through the Big Shot with the thinlit/die
in place first, then lay the card stock out in the embossing folder, carefully
placing the cut image back in place and run it all through the Big Shot
again. I have found that if you emboss
first then use your dies, the embossing is flattened a bit. You’ll have to be careful to line things up
before embossing, but if I can do it, so can you!
