Did you know you can use Stampin' Up! Brassy Templates with the Big Shot to create embossed card stock? The "sandwich" you use is the last tab on the Multipurpose Platform, standard cutting pad, Brassy Template, card stock, Crease Pad, then standard cutting pad.
This may seem a little thick, but it will go through. I used the Pick a Petal Brassy Template and here's the result.
I realize, you probably wouldn't have much use for the entire template, but you can cut out the images that you need. I decided to use the scallop border and created this Gift Card Holder.
I used Old Olive, Real Red and Baja Breeze card stock, Ski Slope DSP and Real Red Grosgrain Ribbon to complete my card.
My folded card is 6" x 6". I started with a piece 12" x 6" and scored at 3" from each side. I used Sticky Strip on the sides to make it strong enough to hold a gift card. To make my circles, I used the Coluzzle System.
Don't forget, there's just a few days left of 10% off on Retiring Sets and FREE Shipping on $70 or more! Email me if you have any questions.
Thanks for the visit!!
