This is such fun. Have to tell you how it happened....
Put everything through my Big Shot, but didn't use slim dies. Got stuck. DH took the machine apart after hammering to get the plates out......not happy! either one of us. Tried again with slim dies. Got stuck again. Big Shot broken. Use my old Cuttlebug, worked great. Now to go to Amazon and order another Big Shot. My card ended up very pricey, but beautiful!!

Oh my, the price we pay for our art! Did you follow the recipe for the 'sandwich'? When I did this, I wondered if it was working because there was so little pressure, not even close to getting stuck....hmmmmmmmmmm. I love your choice of that wheat, simple and so beautiful! I still use my Cuttlebug, more often than my BS plus. In fact, I did kind of mess up my Bigshot, still works but one side is sort of dislocated. Bummer, Anne!

Oh dear, yikes. I remember feeling so guilty when that happened to someone when I featured embossing with stencils as a TLC. May your new Big Shot prosper and thrive. I didn't think there was anything other than slim dies and the thick steel rule ones! But what a beautiful card. So elegant.
Thanks for letting me know your crazy card arrived!

I love your pretty card but I'm surprised to read you didn't have a good result with the BS even worse you broke it...But a new BS is on it's way to you maybe this is what we call, destiny...
