Hey Everyone,
My group of eight lovely papercrafters met this past week for our Stamper's 8 Club. Our focus was the Big Shot. Most of the girls had never used any kind of die cutting tool so found this really fun and so rewarding to be able to create such detailed die cuts and embossed projects with such little effort!
Our cards used non traditional Christmas colors, but kinda' fun all the same! Stacey Schafer was the inspiration behind this dashing Dasher!
Recipe:
Stamps: Dasher; All Holidays (Sentiment)
Ink: Soft Suede, Sahara Sand Classic Ink
Cardstock:
Base Card: Sahara Sand (Standard A2 Tent Fold Cut 4¼”x11”; score at 5½”)
Layers: Stamped Layer: Taken with Teal,(2¾ “x 3”) Whisper White(2½”x 2¾” ); 1/2 of a Die Cut Top Note in Taken with Teal

Tools: Big Shot and Top Note Bigz Die, Stamp-a-ma-jig (SAMJ), Paper Cutter

The second card of the evening used the same color scheme and no stamping...yikes!
