Creative JumpStarter reinvents the Big Shot

Some of you JumpStarters may have seen the amazing video by my spanish friend Cuchy in which she shows how to create a great textured paper plate made out of toilet paper.

One of Cuchy’s main tools for this techniques is a Big Shot. Now what do you do if you have no Bigshot? You…think out of the box like our JumpStarter Anje – The Crafty Cone – …check it out…it is awesome and too funny!

And here is Cuchy’s Workshop:

Alter yourself! Mixed media workshop – Altered art 
M. Carmen Sánchez – Cuchy – Saturday June, 23rd 2012 – 16.00 hs. 

We’ll create an altered object which holds a variety of ATC’s with lots of techniques, that we’ll make also in the class. 
Among the “dirty” materials we’re going to use, we have candles, patterned tissue paper, film plastic, embossing powders, acrylics, folders and dies for BigShot, bubble wrap… we’re going to iron our supplies (yes, with the iron you use at home), and as always, we will get dirty. 

——

¡Altérate!. Taller mixed media – Altered art.
M. Carmen Sánchez – Cuchy – Sábado 23 de junio de 2012 – 16.00 hs.

Haremos un objeto alterado para guardar una colección de ATCs de técnicas que también haremos en el taller.
Cuanto más rápido trabajemos, más tarjetas haremos :)
Entre los materiales que vamos a utilizar, contaremos con cera de vela, papel tissue decorado, plástico transparente, polvos de embossing, acrílicos,  troqueles y plantillas de relieve de la bigshot, plástico de burbujas, vamos a planchar (si, si, con la plancha de casa) y alguna que otra cosilla y como siempre, nos ensuciaremos mucho.

    I think I’ll keep this video to myself, my husband already thinks my crafting has taken over the house, heaven forbid I start using his garage ! This was so clever.
