My Sizzix
BIGkick bit the dust. The handle broke off. Since I have a Tim Holtz Vagabond I
went looking for the adaptor shim for thin dies like framelits that goes
on top of the base that allows you to cut thin dies. Michaels, JoAnns
& Hobby Lobby did not have. Considered buying a new Sizzix BIGkick
at Michaels with 50% off coupon. Then I remembered seeing the words 'for
framelits" on my Sizzix magnetic plate. Turns out the Sizzix magnetic
plate is the proper thickness of the base + the adaptor shim. Came home
and tried it out and the magnetic plate indeed cuts the thin dies. It
cuts them like butter. Yeah!
Created
this Umbrella Card using a sketch that you can see below which I flipped horizontally.
Used TH Vagabond to cut the Die-namics clouds. Placed the clouds on the yellow/orange layer.
Used MISTI to stamp the raindrops moving the paper 1/2" inch for each raindrop stamping. Used MISTI tool to stamp the sentiment on the top bigger cloud.
Used Simon Says Stamp Stitched Circle dies to cut the blue vellum.
Used TH
Vagabond to cut the Die-namics Umbrella from both recycled cereal
cardboard for sturdiness and scrapbook paper that I thought had a rainy
look with the white stripes in the colors. I added Glossy accents for
more of a rainy look.
Popped up the umbrella at an angle on the blue vellum circles.

Glad that the snow is gone here in Central TX. Here are some photos of the 7" snow we had last week, Mar 5, & Daisy playing in the snow.
