The recent Big Shot classes #501-A, B, C used the XL Bigz Bitty Box Die, XL Fancy Flower Punch, Large Oval Punch, 1 1/4" Circle, 1" Circle, Polka Dot Embossing Folder and a Crimper. These were created with ease and it showed them the benefits of having a Big Shot, Punches and the other tools used. This class was 2 hours and 45 minutes with 6 participants and we only used one Big Shot Machine.

This is so easy using several Punches-1 3/4", Modern Label, Word Window, Boho Blossoms,1/2" circle, 1/4" circle, small heart Punch, Scallop Circle, 1 3/8" Square, Corner Rounder, new 2 step Bird Punch and Scallop Envelope Bigz Die. Someone created this and it was posted on the SU! Connection site; I changed the box to Green and added a few things and this is what I came up with isn't this great.
