Blogger's Challenge #113: Die Cuts and Punches

Our challenge this week was a product focus! We had to use punches or die cuts as a main focus for our projects/cards. When I saw this bag by Lisa Martz made with the Top Note Die for the Big Shot, I had to be a Big Shot and try it for myself!



The bag is made with 8 regular Top Note die cuts and 4 shortened die cuts. I ran those through the Big Shot again using the Texturz Plate Perfect Details which I didn't mean to copy Lisa completely on this but focused on using a different plate than on the tutorial and forgot that Lisa used the Perfect Details plate! The official directions that I followed are HERE by Allison Ohran.

Mine is different in that I am using a little sneak peek from the upcoming Holiday Mini catalog. It's Shimmer Paint! I used a sponge to just rub a little of the Frost White Shimmer Paint over my Bravo Burgundy paper on the bag and over the Whisper White of the Butterfly to add a little touch of sparkle!

Also, though difficult to see in the photo, I used the Eyelet Border Punch to create a border along the top of the bag. It's easier to see in real life!

Thanks for taking a look and be sure to see what the other Blogger's Challenge girls were up to this week! Also, pull our your punches and dies and make a project for yourself!!
