Welcome back to the
Twelve Tags of Christmas. We are on Day Five, and using Frosty tones
today, just a little bit of stamping, that allows for any slight
errors to be out of the main sight. So far this is my favourite, I
think. I just love icy tones, and often decorate our Christmas Tree
in white and glass, with a bit of silver.
Today is also making
the most of Stampin' Up! Bundle pricing, by using the Merriest Wishes
Stamp Set and Merry Tags Framelits – you see, I am saving you money
again, am I kind to you, or am I kind to you?
This tag uses very
small pieces of card again, but does use a piece of Window Sheet to
give the Glimmer Card a bit of support.
Couple of tips for the
Big Shot – the Precision Base Plate is great for the Intricate
Dies, but you should NOT use it for standard Framelits as it can dull
their cutting edge, so try to remember to use the standard plates for
those. I find Glimmer Card is best cut from the back, again to try to
preserve the cutting edge of the dies. When you are using the
Precision Base plate in particular, you may find that the top cutting
plate begins to bend. This is normal, but not ideal, so to avoid
that, remember to use different areas of the plates, so not always
bang slap in the middle, and turn the top plate over and around as
much as you can so the pressure is distributed on different areas.
Don't worry too much if you forget any of this, it is not the end of
the world, but I do like to share any tips I come across with you.
BIG REMINDERS AGAIN –
