I must admit ... when I first saw this Big Shot die, I was not impressed! It looked a little weird to me with all those arrows going every-which-way and I couldn't imagine myself using it much. NOT! I am in love with the new Stampin' Up! Pop Up Look Here Bigz XL Die! I've already used it for giving 3 gift cards just this week! It is AMAZING and it goes together so quickly (once you do it a couple of times - LOL). With this die, you can turn ANY card into a unique Gift Card Holder that will make people ... well ... Look Here!
I used the new Razzleberry Lemonade Designer Series Paper (the DSP, Ribbon and Die will all be available beginning this Wednesday, July 1st, when the new Fall/Winter Idea Book and Catalog are released). The cardstock is Rich Razzleberry, Melon Mambo and Whisper White. The ribbon is Crushed Curry 5/8" Dotted Grosgrain. The Stamp set is On Your Birthday. I also used the Eyelet Border Punch and a Flower Brad (to cover-up a smudge from my inky fingers -- did you know there are no mistakes in stamping ... only opportunities for creative embellishment!). The Melon Mambo (pink) layer is embossed with the Big Shot and the Stampin' Up! Backgrounds I Texturz Plates. What fun ... and a great way to surprise someone you care about!

Gretchen:Love the card. I tried to use this die yesterday and was having a heck of a time...didn't help that I waited till the last minute to make my card. :( Are there any tips or tricks to putting this together?? Thanks!
