OK, many know I said I would never buy a Big Shot. I love my Cuttlebug. It has served all my embossing and die cutting needs for several years! I couldn't even figure out how to use the Big Shot. I mean what are all those pages on the plateform about?!!?
But never say never... cos it will turn around and bite you in the .... bug.
I was at CKC Lancaster at the Sizzix booth and they had a special on the Shots- $59.00. So..... I broke down and bought one. All I can say is- WHY THE HECK DID I WAIT SO LONG??? WHY WASN'T I LISTENING TO REST OF THE CRAFTING WORLD?
I LOVE MY BIG SHOT!!! It cuts through those intricate Memory Box dies in one pass! Like a knife through warm butter! Unlike my poor little Cuttlebug which would take at least 4 times and then it was a crap shoot as to whether they were cut through.
One shot with my Big Shot!! My new motto.
Next I got out my new Circle Flip it die from Sizzix and with my Big Shot I made this cute retro birthday card using Hero Arts/Sizzix Bold Pop Designs for the design challenge at Just add Ink and A blog named Hero.
Wow what fun!! Well gotta go, got more cutting to do!!
Happy Creating!

I'm still going with my beloved cuttlebug, I've loved it for so long that I can't imagine changing it!
I love the big, bold and bright flowers at the center of attention in your card - perfect take on the inspiration photo at Just Add Ink this week.

That circle flip it die sounds intriguing and you've made a stunning card with it for JAI. Thanks for playing along.
I have done the flip card, but not with circles, this is lovely! I'm having a love affair with my Big Shot too! Hahaha.
Lovely card.
