Hi everyone. Let me show you how to make this amazing
invitation using our Snowflakes Card Thinlits Die.
We have a belly band on it,
so I'll slide that off because this is the exciting part.
Look how fun the opening of this card is. It's
a little bit interactive. You can see
that snowflake flipping around.
Not only is a beautiful, but it's fun to open as well.
It really is easy to make with our
Snowflake Card Thinlits Die. The die looks like this, the card base.
You'll run this through your Big Shot. I used Soft Sky cardstock
and this is what it looks like when it comes out. There are two score lines.
I like to fold it in half on the second score line.
Be careful not to fold the snowflake and then take that front flap
and fold it back the other way. It's very simple to do,
the die does all of the work for you. That's the card base
but the package also comes with all these other fun little pieces.
I've cut them out so you can see what they look like
and these make it so much fun to decorate and
embellish your card as well. So if I bring in the original card one more time,
you can see this really pretty white snowflake
isn't included here. Let me show you how I got that white snowflake.
I'll bring in my Big Shot, now I've already gotten started.
I actually cut it with the card base. You can see that I've
lined it up like this and ran it through my Big Shot
with just a small piece of white cardstock. Where the score lines are
it doesn't cut it out all the way around. So I'm going to just rotate my
cardstock
and then line it up with the die one more time.
The grooves in the die find where the cut lines are so it's not
very hard to line up. You should be able to do it and it's a lot
easier if you're using the Magnetic Platform. I'll top it with my cutting pad
and run it through the Big Shot one more time.
All those snaps, crackles and pops are normal. It just means that the Big Shot is working
the way it's supposed too. Now I can punch out my snowflake
and I have a perfect snowflake
to adhere to the top of my card.
What makes this even cuter
is the stamp set that coordinates. Let me bring in the snow flake, this is the
Letterpress Winter
Stamp Set. I can ink it up
in Soft Sky ink. The photopolymer stamps make it easy to see through and so
it's easy to line up,
the stamped image with the snowflake that I've already cut out.
I'm just going to line that up, and stamp it down. There you go. Perfect alignment
and I can just adhere that to my card.
You can see on the finished card, I've also embellished it
with some smaller snowflakes and these come from the package of dies. This one
I've cut out with silver paper
and the smaller snowflake I've cut out with Lost Lagoon.
When you do cut out these smaller pieces, I recommend using a piece of wax paper
since they are kind of detailed. When you build your sandwich put the paper and
then wax paper and then the die
and run them through the Big Shot and then you'll be able to get that punched
shape
out of the die very easily. Here's the finished card one more time.
You can see we've embellished with some washi tape a little bit of Designer
Series Paper
and of course the belly band. These big snowflakes you can use on projects
other than just the card.
You may have noticed the darling Christmas stockings that were pictured
in the catalog.
that's the same snowflake that we just walked you through the steps to make.
I hope you have fun using the Snowflake Card
Thinlits Die and thinking of all the different ways you can use it.
