New scrappy discovery

I made a new scrappy discovery last night. Look what I made with my Sizzix Big Shot! Guess what I used to make these?? You know all those annoying credit cards offers you get in the mail, I used the plastic fake credit cards. I ran them through my Sizzix and they cut out perfectly. I just sandwiched the credit card in the machine like I would paper and viola I got a nice little plastic embellishment that looks a little funky and fun. It also worked on used gift cards too. I like different textures on my projects and excited about this new discovery, and its good recycling…gotta love that!

Here’s some other fun things you can cut in the Sizzix

• Flattened cereal boxes - great way to make your own chipboard pieces
• Thin metal & foil
• Wall paper
• Cork board
• Craft foam
• Felt
• Fabric - add paper behind the fabric to help get a clean cut
• Magnet sheets
• Shrink plastic - great for making tiny charms!
• Vellum
• Clear acetate sheets
• Sticky tape sheets - I like this for making glittery letters or shapes
• Plastic page protectors
• File folders
• Thin rubber sheets - make your own stamps!

I’d love to hear about any tricks or interesting things you do with the Sizzix. XOOXO ~ MamaSheg
