I"m SO excited about this new Sizzlit offered in the Occasions Mini Catalog. This is the first large sizzlit Stampin' Up has offered. It's really beautiful!
Stamp Set: Petite Pairs (WM 122495, CM 122497, page 164), Fresh Vintage - available on January 24th and FREE with a $50 order in the Sale-A-Bration Catalog!
Card Stock: Sahara Sand, Soft Suede
Ink: Soft Suede, Soft Suede Craft Ink (Craft Stampin' Spots Neutral Collection, 119791, page 180) Clear Embossing Powder
Embellishment: 3/8" Crumb Cake Taffeta Ribbon
Punch: 2 1/2" Circle (120906, page 212), Large Sizzlit Paper Doily (125592, page 7 Occasions Mini 2012)
I stamped the flowers with Soft Suede Craft Ink and covered it with clear embossing powder and heat set. Nice and shiny IRL (in real life).
Love the background of the doily. This is a great sizzlit. You really need to have it!! Here's another card I made using the Paper Doily Sizzlit. A tip: You might need a shim to make all the intricate holes to cut (all Big Shots are calibrated differently). Mine doesn't need the shim, and I just a Paper Piercing Tool (otherwise know as a "pokey tool") and just punch out all the little parts.

Hi Martine
Here's your "sandwich" from bottom to top

I have to use the paper piercer (pokey tool) to pop out the punch outs, but mine cuts really well. Check yours out and if it doesn't cut really well, add a thin shim (even try copy paper) and see if that helps. Then add more if you need it!
If it doesn't make all the cuts you might try passing it back through the Big Shot, but hopefully the above will work. If not, call SU and they will replace it!

Hi Jan, What pads & how many should you normally use to "punch" this? I always get messed up!!
