My grandson is turning 2 and currently loves elephants so I quickly created a card for him using this die. I just moved and my crafting space is nonexistent but this die facilitated the ease of making a quick card.

This set was the most reasonably priced but I am glad I bought it because I used the large rectangle so far with just one pass of my precut Neenah solah slimline using my Bigshot. No problem. I can hardly wait to use the smaller squares. So far I have made a couple of cards.

I had gotten the Wendi Vecchio mini mat but wasn’t fortunate enough to get this ruler included. Once I got this ruler though it has helped me to align the cards correctly so now I’m happier.

If you have the option of using messy wet glue or this red tape when presented with an area that’s particularly challenging to adhere then opt for this tape. It has saved me when attaching a slim tab to the rest of the project that’s movable. Better than any liquid glue.

I placed a penguin scene at the bottom of a card that I gave to my daughter which she adored. It had an igloo with tiny lights and a penguin representing her rambunctious 2 year old whose favorite word is "No" so she loved that I represented him playing with the lights while saying No over and over.

I used this for background forest scenes, sometimes trimming off what I don't need. Other times I use it front and center. It's definitely very useful. I just grab some green paper and then run it through my big shot then I use my markers to darken the trees.

Made a Christmas card for my son-in-law who has a passion for moose which his wife, my daughter barely tolerates, so I specifically make certain he gets his own card at the Holiday season. I dressed up the moose so he was more holiday like and it was a breeze to run this through the Big Shot, but the tree was another story as there were too many tiny parts to put together. I figured out that there are separate pieces for snow to be placed on the branches. I had made two trees so difficult to define.

The metal piece that is supposed to fit perfectly in the center just fell apart when I ran it through my Big Shot. I had to jimmy it together in order to complete the card, but then I couldn't figure out how to put it all together again. Concept is better than the execution. I just put all the parts in with the folder and knew it was a mistake to have bought this.

I made a quick yet gorgeous card for my grandsons for Easter using this one Die. My daughter loved it so much. All I did was run it through my Big Shot and then I colored it with my Zig markers and added some hearts.

I used this to spread nuvo glitter paste on paper when I discovered the paper I had painstakingly measured and cut perfectly for an album had a white core. The paste was to cover up the white core of the perfectly aligned cut areas, 3 lines to be specific. Clean up was a breeze with just water.

I used this punch on glitter paper to fill in space on a scrapbook page and it was so easy to use for my weak fingers. No problems at all. I made several of these and they looked great.

Although I own a Brotherscanncut machine, I don't enjoy measuring out the squares and then placing stitches in them and then etc. So much easier to just run the paper I would like through my Big Shot and keep playing. I like how one pass allows the stitches to show.
