Get all the details on the Big Shot basics in today’s quick crafting tip video! I cover everything from the arrival of your new Big Shot to the different platforms, when to use them, how to use them and the difference between embossing folders and dies. If you’ve had your cutting pads bow with repeated use I’ve got a great tip on how to help maintain their original shape.
Autism Awareness Blog Hop
April is national Autism Awareness month and I’ll be part of a special blog hop. I consider it a huge honor to be part of a group of Stampin’ Up! demonstrators who have come together to raise funds and awareness for Autism. We’ll each have a different project to share so you won’t want to miss it. During this hop I’ll be highlighting a special family, the Griffiths. Both Ricky and DJ have autism and their remarkable journey is one I’m inspired to share with you. It’s my hope, that together, we can raise awareness and funds to help their future. It’s not too early to make a donation to the Autism Society. If you’re interested in helping our efforts, you can make a donation directly on the Autism Society page I’ve set up. Your donation is 100% secure and tax deductible. Any amount helps, even $1! The hop will be live on April 18th so be sure to subscribe to my blog so you don’t miss out on the amazing inspiration.

It is more difficult to do a TOP TIP about the Big Shot as a whole because of the complexity of the machine. But one of the best TOP TIPS I was given was about the moving around of the plates to ensure that they do not get warped too much. You expect them to last a life time until another crafter shows you their plates and the die cut into them. :O)
