Dieser Blogpost ist Susanne gewidmet ;o) .... Du, liebe Susanne, weißt warum und alle anderen freuen sich hoffentlich auf die Geschichte dazu. Ihr wisst ja, dass ich am Wochenende auf der Convention in Brüssel war. Natürlich habe auch ich - wie alle anderen Kolleginnen - einen Swap gebastelt. Der Weg dahin war schon recht abenteuerlich, denn erst kurz vor knapp fiel mir ein, dass es nett sei einen Swap zu haben ... aber woher die Idee nehmen und dann auch noch in drei Tagen umsetzen *uff*? Aber Internet sei Dank kam ich auf eine, wie ich fand, super tolle Idee. Eine Verpackung sollte es sein. Möglichst mit der Zierschachtel. Und dann auch noch als Fliegenpilz. Aber wie bekommt man nun den Deckel perfekt auf die Schachtel? Nach einigem Probieren ging das zum Glück doch einfacher als gedacht, aber einen Pilz "ganz einfach" fanden meinen Mädels zu öde. Also kamen wir gemeinsam auf die Idee, ein kleines Pilzhäuschen zu entwerfen. Ich war sehr gespannt, wie diese Häuschen in Brüssel ankommen würden und habe mich natürlich sehr gefreut, dass sie mir quasi aus den Händen gerissen wurden. Eines der Häuschen hatte ich dann Susanne versprochen. Aber da ich sie nach fast einem Tag Suche nicht fand, beschloss ich, das Häuschen dann doch noch zu tauschen ... und wie es dann so im Leben ist, stand ein paar Minuten später Susanne vor mir *arrrrr*. Also liebe Susanne, so ist dieser virtuelle Swap und Post nun ganz für Dich :o) Und für alle anderen finde ich hoffentlich noch diese Woche die Zeit, ein Video zu diesem Häuschen zu drehen. Wäre das in Eurem Sinne? ➽ DIESER BLOGPOST ENTHÄLT PR-SAMPLE UND SOMIT WERBUNG!

I'm sharing the ultimate big shot sandwich guide for embossing folders. I'm asked often what embossing plates to use with each folder. Let's clear it up.

There's a whole new world of embossing with Framelits! Check out this video tutorial to see how to turn your Framelits into tools to emboss with! They're new from Stampin' Up!

Today I am happy to share how to make this stinkin' cute denim pocket card using images from the Pocketful of Sunshine stamp set, the coordinating Pocket Framelits dies, some fun embellishments,

Embossing folders are a lot of fun. They're an easy way to add texture and interest to cards and, I suppose, to scrapbook pages, too. They can also be used in ways other than just sticking card stock or paper inside the folder and rolling it through a machine. That's what I mean by Cuttling, or what I should probably refer to now as selective embossing, since Sizzix and QuicKutz are now releasing their versions of the plastic embossing folder. I dunno though. Cuttling sounds so much more fun than selective embossing. And little did I know how quickly the term would spread when I first started using it about a year ago. Anyway, one of the questions that's come up frequently is, "I can't find wood die cuts--can I use something else?" The short answer is, yes! The reason why I use what I use is that it's usually handy, cheap, and easy. So, where I might use craft sticks, someone else might find a scrap piece of acrylic, trim it to size with a band saw, and then use it the same way. It's the same reason why I'll use the backing to Cuttlebug folder packaging as my shims. They're handy. It's repurposing. I think it also gives a good reference point when other folks want to try something I've described. And yep, and I have lots of 'em! So, here's another way to do diagonal embossing. That post periodically gets lots of hits and I know that not everyone has the narrow cutting plates that I used. You can get the same look using chipboard, and I just want to show that there is more than one way to Cuttle a folder. ;-) These are just some pieces of chipboard--I get these with stamps from the USPS when I order online. Also pictured are a sheet of transparency and some repositionable poster tape. It's a bit out of focus, but what I was trying to show was that 3 sheets of chipboard are close to the thickness of a cutting plate. I wanted to err on the thin side, so I think I managed that. My bone folder is showing how I might like to place a diagonal on an A2 size card. My chipboard pieces are intentionally bigger than the card and than an embossing folder. That gives me some room to play with the position of the chipboard on the folder. Ahhh, the things that you learn from experience. :-) Still narrow enough to fit through the Big Shot and through the Cuttlebug though. I think you can see how the extra size gives you a little room to move your folder, tilt it to change the angle of the diagonal, or whatever. I cut my chipboard on a diagonal with a few passes of a craft knife. I then glued the layers together using my ATG. You can just make out the transparency, I think. I glued the top stack of chipboard in place to the transparency. The bottom part I wanted to leave loose since I might want different widths of unembossed diagonal strips on my card front. Here you can see that I've put a piece of the repositionable tape on the chipboard. I made it a little less sticky by pressing it to my jeans a bit before sticking it to my transparency. Also pictured is an A2 size card with the card front inside the Floral Fantasy Cuttlebug folder and the back tucked behind. This is how I positioned the folder over the chipboard pieces. The transparency helped keep things from moving but still let me see what I was doing. The stack was: multipurpose platform with no tabs, chipboard, card inside embossing folder, clear plate. Here is how that turned out. As I've suggested before, you can accentuate the border between the embossed and unembossed areas by scoring. I use my Scor-It. And here's another card with a bigger diagonal strip, just for comparison. So, to get back to my original point, there are lots of ways of getting different looks by selectively embossing. The above photo shows some of the items that I've used to accomplish that. It's by no means an exhaustive list. These are meant to be suggestions. Everyone probably has something a little different that they can use that will work. When choosing something to use, what's easiest is finding something that's of uniform thickness and roughly the same thickness as a cutting plate. It's best if it's firm, without too much give to it so that you can get a nice crisp embossing--you want an even pressure to be applied to the folder by the rollers. Softer stuff like fun foam and rubber gasket can work, and while it's definitely cheap and easy to use, the embossing isn't as crisp as what you get when you use something with very little give to it, like wood, acrylic, or even chipboard. Try it and compare--that's what I did. And as always, when you experiment, start thin and gradually work your way thicker with shims until you get the look you want--you don't want to end up breaking your machine or your plates. As for embossing smaller folders, whether border folders or the smaller size folders made by any of the manufacturers, if you have problems with the edges of the folder being embossed, this is where using something narrower than the border folder or slightly smaller than the small embossing folder can be helpful (my examples are numbers 3, 4, 7 in the last photo)--no pressure on the edges means no lines, eh? After all, no one likes unsightly lines. ;-) Addendum: A couple of folks have asked about the "sandwich" for the Cuttlebug. For embossing folders used with the Cuttlebug, the sandwich from the bottom up is usually A plate, B plate, embossing folder with card or card stock inside, B plate. Depending on what you use to selectively emboss, just plan on substituting that chipboard or wood die or whatever for one of the B plates (I usually swap out the one on the bottom.) and then adding shims until you're satisfied with the look of the embossing.

Es ist wieder Donnerstag und daher gibt es auf dem Challenge Blog von Match the Sketch wieder einen neuen Sketch für euch. Eigentlich wartet ein Berg neuer Produkte aus dem Herbst-/Winterkatalog darauf ausprobiert zu werden, aber dazu komme ich wohl erst am Wochenende, denn heute trifft hoffentlich die Ware der

Hallo! Schön, daß Du wieder vorbei schaust! Heut ist wieder Technik-Sonntag! Die Technik, die ich Dir heute vorstellen möchte nennt sich: Ombré Technik Bei dieser Technik geht es darum Farbverläufe…

Hi Crafters, Dr Sonia here - I am still basking in the euphoria of having achieved something great crafty wise- I repaired my Big Shot when it had issues and now its as good as new! I have written this post with lot of input not only from the supremely knowledgeable Shalini Mittal but from experienced crafters all over the world. And there is a lovely surprise at the end of the post too......so do read on..) ENJOY THE BIGGEST CHRISTMAS OFFER EVER . Seeing the photos of the broken apart Big Shot on my blog, I got many mails and messages asking about which was a "good" die cutting machine - Well there is no ambiguity on that one- As far as Manual Die cutting Machines go the Sizzix Big Shot is the BEST die cutting machine!! And no its not just my opinion , visit craft forums all over the world and that is what you will read - The Big Shot is the most popular machine out there! And the Big Shot is available at Crafters Corner at the best prices..... Before we go to how to repair the Big Shot if anything should go wrong, Tips on Big Shot Use 1. Use the Big Shot on a hard even surface The Big Shot is a manual die cutting machine and you use your hand to roll the handle which turns "rollers" that cut your "die - paper" between the cutting plates + /- the platform. For your Big shot to exert good even pressure it should not be used on the mattress or uneven surfaces! And from a medical point of view dont sit on the ground and craft-- its bad for your back! Use the Big shot on a sturdy "non wobbly" table ! 2.Learn how to use the Platform Platforms of old style and new type Big shot If you are new to the Big Shot you may be confused about the tabs , sandwiches etc. Its actually easy and written on the platform tabs which type of dies to use on which tab of the platform! Tab 2 Tab 1 Both tabs opened Bigz dies dont need the platform- its sandwich is "cutting plate- die- paper - cutting plate"! Always take a moment to read the sandwich recommended on the die / embossing folder instruction leaflet and on the platform of your Big Shot Do not use unknown/ unbranded dies as you really dont know what sandwich is required and how it will affect your machine.....If you use non branded dies it can harm your machine to a big extent ....may be initially you wont realize it but slowly and steadily the damage can occur!You might save few pennies but will pay in dollars ....so a BIG NO TO LOCAL DIES if u want to keep your machine alive. 3. "Shims" Safety What are shims? You may have read "add shims" as an answer to a die not cutting properly. Well a shim is a piece of card added on top of the sandwich to increase the pressure on the die. The problem with "shimming" is that its all experiment- you really dont know how many pieces of card you need to cut nicely and you may add too much and damage you machine! What is the alternative ? - the Metal plate adapter. The popular brands are the wafer thin die adapter by sizzix and the metal plate adapter by Cheery Lynn . I have the one by Cheery Lynn and it makes my die cutting so much quicker- I hardly ever have to make multiple passes of my die and no I dont use shims! Apart from this very essential Metal Adapter plate, to make die cutting easier, Crafters Corner has a whole range of cutting dies accessories 4. Cutting Plate Use Cutting plates When you use the Big Shot for the first time you will be mildly stunned to hear the crackling sounds - dont worry you didnt break anything! You will be even more disheartened to see how quickly your beautiful cutting plate becomes scratched- still dont worry - you can use it!! Keep rotating the cutting plates [ ie keep changing the one which goes on top and the one which goes under the die] Now when should you get a new pair of cutting plates ? Even a little crack - get a new pair! Crack on Cutting plate Yes I had just a tiny crack on one of my cutting plates and I continued to use it and soon my Big Shot fell ill!! Dont use local acrylic plates instead of your Sizzix original cutting plates - Dont save a few pennies and damage your Machine! 5. Do Not Force anything through your machine! 6. Dont tax your Big Shot The Big Shot is actually meant for non commercial use - if you are going to be using it to churn out hundreds of die cuts a day ,you will make the poor thing fall ill! How to Repair your Big Shot Now as I already told you ,I recently had an issue with my Big Shot - shortly after its 2nd birthday and soon after I continued to use a cracked cutting plate[ I shouldn't have done that!] Problem die cutting The problem was it would only partially cut a die. Shalini came to my rescue and diagnosed the problem as a bearing problem and asked me to open up the Big Shot. So open up I had to. Do follow a wonderfully written Big Shot bearing replacement instruction by Mechanical Engineering student Leumas Yrrep. His instructions have everything you need to repair your Big Shot. I am just going to give you a simple overview of how I did it so that you can muster up courage to repair your own Big Shot too in case something goes wrong. Big Shot Put the Big Shot on its back and start removing all the screws using a standard screw driver. Keep all the screws and washers carefully as there are quite a few of them. Remove the Handle Remove Handle Use the allen key [ came with your Big Shot ] to remove the screw on the handle Allen Key If you have lost the Allen key , dont worry you can simply rotate the screw and the handle will come out! Once you have removed the handle and all the screws from the base of the Big shot things will start to fall apart. The side panels may require a bit of force to prise them apart. You will see the gears under the side panel on the handle side. Inspect to see if anything is amiss - eg dislodged gear, broken gear, falling bearing parts etc For me diagnosis was easy as bearing parts fell out as soon as my Big Shot was opened! Bearing Problem In the picture above you can see the empty bearing socket and the photo below shows the crushed and broken bearing. Broken bearing Do follow Leumas Big Shot bearing replacement instructions if you get stuck at any stage while replacing with a new bearing as you do need to do be a bit rough and do a little hammering! Now the biggest problem for me was not opening the Big shot or putting it back together, it was getting the bearing ! I visited so many auto-sparepart shops hunting for the exact bearing, tried online bearing shops and some people even suggested I get a bearing made in the local market. After Shalini came to know about my experience and read my Big Shot repair post she told me the most wonderful news for Big Shot users in India : That she will provide Big Shot spare parts free to all customers who get the Big Shot from her!! Talk about fantastic Customer Service!! I required only a small bearing but here are some of the Original Sizzix Big Shot Spare-parts Shalini has for her customers and that too for FREE !! Sizzix Original Spareparts I did an extensive online search about what all can possibly go wrong with the Big Shot and here is my Big Shot Repair Pinterest Board where I pinned and will keep pinning anything I find. I hope this post will be helpful for both newbies and experienced crafters. Do tell me how it is! Special Offer from Crafters Corner When you purchase a new Big Shot from Crafters Corner.... the spare-parts are absolutely free when required * This is the reason that when u buy craft supplies, always buy from an authorized source . And this is the reason I love shopping at Crafters Corner - you will get the right product , right service , right price, right information..... Highly recommended !

You're gonna love this one! I am always looking for new ways to use products that seem very limited or specific. The Brick Wall Textured Impressions Embossing Folder for the Sizzix Big Shot was one of those products--I love it, but I knew I'd love it even more if I could do different techniques with it, know what I mean? So I set myself a goal to come up with three new ways to use it, and here's the first one! This Brick Wall adventure coincided with my current love affair with the Botanical Builders framelits, also a Big Shot...
