One Little Tag Craft Challenge #85

 

Three strips of lavender cardstock were run though a big shot machine using three different designs of embossing folder.  The embossing folders were manufactured by sizzix and darice.  A Wilted Violet distress pad was rubbed over the embossed area to highlight the design.  Then the strips were adhered to a manila tag.  The image (Lost Coast Designs) and quote (Stamp Fairy) were stamped on tissue paper with Archival Ink Jet Black and then adhered to the tag with a liquid glue.  The golden Dresden butterfly (Art Chix) was adhered on the tag. 

Die cuts puzzle cards

Here is a fast and easy card. 

I have had a sizzix big shot for about a year now and I have really not used it much.  This card uses both the big shot's ability to die cut and to emboss. 

Ingredients

Card base

Cardstock (at least 2 colors)

Sizzix Big Shot or other die cutting machine

Die (Tim Holtz Stacking Stars)

Embossing Folder (misc)

Adhesive (ATG Gun)

Gem Stones

Temporary Adhesive Tape (Washi Tape)

Steps

1.  Die cut both pieces of cardstock using die cutting machine.  Use temporary adhesive tape to hold it in place on die. I use washi tape because I have it on hand. 

2. Run the base piece of card stock though big shot using embossing folder. I like to do this after cut so that the embossing doesn't become squashed. 

3.  Using adhesive of choice attach base piece to card base. Apply adhesive to die cuts and attach in cut outs. 

4.  Attach gem stones to card. Finished 

This last piece was done at the same time actual long stacking the stars.
