Mr Big Shot! Who do you think you are?

Posted on 10/07/2009 12:04:00 PM by Amanda


A couple of weeks ago, before all the craziness with local flooding started, a generous benefactor made it possible for me to get a new tool.




What is it you ask?








This is the Sizzix Big Shot.  The Big Shot is a manual multipurpose die-cutting system.  It can quickly and easily create die cut and embossed shapes, envelopes, tags and baskets.  It can cut all kinds of materials and because it requires no electricity and is very portable, it's great to take to crops.







I LOVE THIS THING. 






I got a few dies and some embossing plates to go with it that just do amazing things like cut shapes.








And I've already made the cutest card and have designed several that I'm going to be showing you.
