Make this beautiful Christmas card using the Delicate Ornaments Thinlits Dies with red-striped Holidays Fancy Foil Designer Vellum and the shiny Red Foil Sheets. The card base is made with the Whisper White Thick Cardstock and layered with regular Whisper White Card Stock. The striped vellum is then attached to the regular card stock using Glue Dots underneath the stripes to try to hide the adhesive. I popped up this layer (the Whisper White plus the vellum) on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
In order to cut the Delicate Ornaments with the Big Shot, I used the dryer sheet and waxed paper technique! I do not (yet) own the Precision Base Plate in the Holiday Catalog. I had heard both good and bad about it, and of course I had plenty of other products I wanted to order from the Holiday Catalog. Even I can’t have everything! But recently I have heard very good things about this plate and might be inclined to put it on an order soon. It is supposed to help greatly cutting out these intricate dies with all the little pieces. But today I used this sandwich:
- Magnetic Platform (or regular platform)
- Dryer sheet (new) (can be used over and over)
- Card stock (in this case, the red foil)
- Wax Paper (you could also try Parchment Paper)
- Thinlit (cutting edge down)
- Top cutting pad
I ran this through and rolled it right back again, then ran it through and back again. This worked perfectly, I only had a very few pieces to poke out of the ornaments, no problem at all. The design is so intricate that you really don’t even notice if a few tiny pieces do not all come out. I used some tiny pieces I cut from Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop up the ornaments on the red striped foil. Then I tied little bows from the Gold 1/8″ Ribbon. The silver ribbon would have been pretty also.
The greeting is stamped with Versamark Ink and embossed with Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder using the Heat Tool. The stamp is from the To You & Yours Too Photopolymer Stamp Set.
