I've had the Sizzix Bigz XL Pop Up die for a while. I hadn't had a chance until today to pull it out and use it. It was not difficult at all to use or to assemble. I snapped some photos while I was making the following card, but I've run out of time this afternoon to post the step-wise version. I'll save that for next time. I wanted to go ahead and post the card that I made though.
That's how it looks when it's closed. For reference, this is not my usual A2 size card. I made this one bigger, 5" x 6 1/2". The stamps are all by Stampers Anonymous and stamped using Memento inks.
And here is the card opened up. The die cuts are the new Spellbinders Blossom Nestabilities dies. The leafy embellishments are by Sizzix/Stampin' Up--the Little Leaves Sizzlit die.The details will follow at a later date. :-)
As I was saying yesterday, arrows are not an element that I generally use in my cardmaking. I dug out an Autumn Leaves clear stamp arrow last night and decided to try using it today for my second try at a Wednesday Stamper Arrow challenge card.
This is very different from my usual cards, both in terms of composition and the way that I go about making my cards. This was much more free-form, but I think in the end it worked (maybe?), and it definitely was a challenge for me and out of my comfort zone.
