I don't think I have been as enthused about a bundle than I am with this one. The stamp set is one of the best deals right now. It is on page 3 of the Holiday Catalog. I keep wanting to say Holiday Mini Catalog but it is not a mini anymore. Full size catalog... not as many as the Annual Catalog. But, packed with super neat stuff.
Here is how I place the stamped ornament image on cardstock and then how I secure them on to the Big Shot multipurpose platform. I suggest you only cut one piece of cardstock at a time. It's up to you, but I want to do as few runs through the Big Shot. I usually mess a couple up.
Here is a hint when using the framelits. Notice that the smooth side is facing up. Yep. That's right. The cutting (raised side faces down on the image). After I started paying attention while running it through the Big Shot, I noticed something.....
Okay, you know when you use one of the regular dies that the die faces up and the cardstock goes over this and the top cutting pad gets all cut up? Well, the framelits go in reverse. They cut the bottom cutting pad. So, word to the wiser than I am people out there (that might be you)..... designate your cutting pads. When I place a demonstrator order and reach the eligible hostess points, I will select the cutting pads. This gives me extra pads. I think it is a good idea. Even I surprise myself. Did this even make sense? hhhhmmmmm.....
The photo below shows how they were stamped and punched out using the framelits.
I can get both sizes on the platform. I secure them using that correction tape. It works very well. I don't know if the stores carry this anymore. But, scotch tape will work too. Try it. Who saves all those cut out pieces. Throw them in a container or box and every few weeks take them to the local school.
Well, enough of me for now.Thanks for stopping by and checking things out. Jane (pinkpigy@aol.com)
