Luvin the Stampin Up Big Shot

I received a Stampin Up Big Shot off my dear friend

for the Christmas just passed. Before the Big Shot

i have been using my trusty Cuttlebug and for many,

many years have been very happy with my little green

bug, I didn't think i needed a Big Shot but boy, yes i did.

Since receiving the Big Shot i haven't wanted to cut into

the lovely new plates, yes there's that clean freak coming out.

But i had this rather thick piece of chipboard sitting on my desk,

just looking at me and i wondered what can i do with this scrap

piece of chipboard. Well i ran it through my Big Shot using the large

Butterfly die. It ran through smooth, didn't make a sound, I didn't

think it had cut, chipboard too thick i thought. But no it

cut so clean through the chipboard the butterfly just popped out.

I had to put another one through to check and yep same result.

I am a happy Big Shot convert.

 I have had a go using a Big Shot in the past

and it is alot easier to roll through items but oh this baby does

have alot to offer. So onto the card i made with my Chipboard Butterfly.

I added lots of layers, ribbon, bling (of course) and that pretty,

chunky Butterfly. It really adds height and dimension.

I have another Butterfly to use too, my imagination is going wild.
