Video | El efecto Letterpress con la Big Shot de Sizzix y texturadoras
Hoy comparto este video tutorial en el que os enseño como recrear el efecto Letterpress con tres intensidades distintas.
Hay mas maneras de recrear el efecto letterpress con la Big Shot, pero estas tres son mis favoritas.
En lugar de la plataforma magnética, podéis usar la Multiusos.

(Aunque uséis la multiusos para esta técnica necesitareis este adaptador.)

How to create a Letterpress effect with your Big Shot and Embossing Folders
I recorded this video long ago, but only just now I managed to sit down, edit and do the voice over. I am bad at video! Takes me ages!
Anyway, i hope it is clear (not sure that it is!)
This is what I used in the video:
(If you don't have the magnetic and have the multipurpose platform, you would still need it as the magnetic platform is the equivalent as tab 2 on the multipurpose.)

New video: A DIY solution to Adding extra permanent pressure to your dies
Another video with die cutting tips, this time about adding extra permanent pressure to certain dies or certain areas of the die so that you don't need shims.
You can do the same tape technique with wafer thin dies, just make sure that no sticky is exposed!
The sticky back plastic I used is this one:
Film Self-Adhesive Transparent Protector Fablon
It comes in several lengths. Of course, I chose the super sized one!
The dies I have used are:
The Butterfly from the
658300 Sizzix Big Shot Starter Kit (Powder Blue & Teal)

Another quick video: release foam for dies
Here is my latest quick video with some top tips for your die cutting!
After filming this video I found out that stix2 doesn't do it anymore. Alternatively, you could use the Self adhesive A4 Foam Sheets as I think it is 2mm thick as well.
The die I am using in the demo is the Sizzix Bigz Die w/Texture Fades - Layered Snowflake and the Butterfly is from the 2013 Big Shot Starter Kit.
(PS: still so much to learn about videos!)

Butterflies homemade doily using die cut butterflies
A couple of days ago, I posted a project done with butterflies. Here you have another version.
I used the same elements but instead of a balloon I used one of the bowls. I spread the baseline on the inside and place the soaked butterflies on top. Once dried, they came off very easily and kept the shape of the bowl pretty well. Finally, I spray painted them.

This is what it looks like. Bellow, beside the larger butterfly bowl (tutorial here).
And here with a large tea light.
It fits beautifully, by pure chance, I did not plan it!
Anyway, i hope you will give this technique a try. It is fun, pretty cheap and effective results. What more can you ask for?

Golden Butterflies - paper mache technique using a balloon
Today I am sharing a project that I have been wanting to do for a long time. It is based on a paper mache bowl project that i saw online. After watching the video, I thought it was a great idea that may work with die cuts. I tried with my new Intricate Butterfly dies and it work!
I used:
- a balloon,
- white glue,
- vaseline,
- a disposable bowl,
- a scoop to measure glue/water,
- water,
- paper,
- gold spray, and from
- Sizzix Big Shot
- Sizzix Intricate Butterflies
- old newspapers
I mixed the white glue with water, about 1/2 ratio. This is not a fixed thing and you can make it more watery if you want. Then I spread a thin coat of vaseline over the ballon.
I die cut loads of butterflies using all three sizes from the intricate dies from the the Intricate Butterflies Thinlits set. Then dip them individually on the mix of glue and water so that they are completely covered.
I placed them carefully on the ballon, making sure that they all overlap, so that there is only a few free on the edges. And I let it dry overnight. Probably a few hours would have been enough, but I did not want to risk it.
Once it was completely dry, I pierced the balloon. Be careful as the whole thing tends to fly away. On the right you can see how it looks once the balloon is removed.
Finally I spray it all with gold spray, I used Krylon's 18KT gold plate, one of the best in my opinion but hard to get in the UK. I used another disposable bowl - a takeaway food container - to hold the butterflies in shape while spraying. Then I sprayed it also and trimmed the edge off to make a base for the butterflies.
The finished result. I am so happy on how it looks.
And with the base looks nice too.
And you know what?
It also doubles up as a head piece. If I get invited to Ascot next year, I have my head gear sorted!
I loved this project so much that I did another version. But I will that for another day...
