Know what THIS IS?
It's the LAST piece of cardstock that we used for cutting out 145 Snowflake die cuts on the Big Shot machine!!
Sharon and I worked for several hours this afternoon die cutting 145 snowflakes and 145 Top Notes Bigz dies for my Founder's Circle swaps!
Bless you, Sharon! You are a lifesaver! 🙂
Yep.. this is 145 snowflakes!!! Aren't they PRETTY!?
Since there were SOOOOO many snowflakes to cut, I suggested using both our snowflake dies and the Extended Cutting Pads so we could die cut both snowflakes at once:
then I put a 1/2 sheet of Whisper White c/s on top:
and through trial and error, what we found was, we needed the thin SHIM PIECES that come with the Premium Crease Pad, placed under the dies, to really make these snowflakes just pop right out!
with the Shim Pieces, these dies just fell out!! yahoooo!!!
Here are more die cut pieces and tons of punched pieces for my swap card:
(kinda looks like we were playing poker! LOL)
I'll post my finished card closer to the Founder's Circle trip.. don't want to ruin the surprise this early!
You are just too cute!!!! Great picture of you. 🙂 I am in the middle of doing my FC swaps too, man I wonder if I will ever get them done.
See you in a couple of weeks!!!

What a job! I can not believe that I missed seeing the snowflake dies when I just placed my order. Can’t wait to see the finished product.
A big task but it looks like fun. Canit to see the finished project Patty.
WOW that’s alot of paper. Can’t believe you are still smiling after all that work.
Patty,
You look “Mavelous”. You sure do have a lot of patience. Thanks for the tip on the Shim.
I look forward to seeing the finished project.
Your such an inspiration to me. Thank you so much.
Well you’re still smiling!!! And just proved the Big Shot can handle BIG JOBS!! Looking forward to seeing the finished product!! Also saving my nickels for one of these items…
Thanks for sharing!!
Can’t wait to see them, Patty! Intriguing… Are you still on the same set of mats after all those? That would be a good selling point. TFS, once again.
Wow, that is going to be a beautiful card!! Can’t wait to see it finished!
Thanks for the cutting tip…we can always use those! You are awesome! 😀
I can hardly wait to see the finished project !! Great idea to put both dies through at once…genius !!!

I’m swapping with you for sure! So glad we have the Big Shot this year, last year I hand-cut that supersize snowflake we had for my FC swaps! That was nuts!
Great tips and can’t wait to see the finished product. Know it will be spectacular as always!
