It started with a project my son had to do for school. My style is more (for better word) Organic! I have never done a card with such open space before I think. I broke out my sewing machine to stitch the paper in using zig zag stitch (3 pieces - (1.75 x 5.75 - 2 different pattern pieces and another patter piece cut at 3.75x3.75 inches). The pattern paper are from recollection elegant stack. So I cut another piece 6 x 6 and layered on that. In this case I cut up a a 12 x 12 paper to 6 x 12. One main thing to remember when doing an easel card is since you fold the card over make sure you cut another piece the same dimension as the front of the card if you are planning to layer.

I added glimmer mist to one piece and left the other alone. These are beautiful and provide nice texture. I got some gauze - not the regular kind from drug store but the cotton kind from . Rhinestone ribbon, Feathers and a bauble (got from cutting of the ring portion of some party fillers) and acrylic flowers and rhinestones provide the added bling. I stamped an arrow and follow your dreams sentiment from paper trey ink on to it. The main label is spellbinder I think label 4 and just rite shabby chic stamp. The tags are mini tags from paper trey ink (both the die and the stamp).
EEK SHOTPRO MANUAL
I prefer manual cranking to motorised so though I was tempted by eBosser I have not got that. If you just want to cut spellbinder dies ie max 81/2 x 11" then grand calibur is so much cheaper and less space too. Now I have not yet tried the spellbinder thingy yet as I waited a while to get the stuff.

I got that cheap in amazon when buying not the brand product but just searching for silicone rubber sheet 1/8". And if you want to emboss you need a 1/8" rubber mat. I had the rest of stuff but did not realize that I needed another cutting pad too.
EEK SHOTPRO TRIAL
You can of course create a stack out of thick chipboard and try cutting the other dies but that is so much trial and error - but still possible! Yes it will also cut the accucut and accuquilt out of the box.
EEK SHOTPRO PRO
So out of the box it will only cut the bigz dies and bigz pro dies ie the thick. But it is costly as not only is the machine expensive but you need to get additional cutting plates (yes another cutting plate as it comes with just one and a crease mat) and the big shot pro solo package ( solo platform,adapter and shim) to be able to cut spellbinder dies and not only spellbinder dies but the sizzlits too. It can for sure cut heavier stuff with bigz dies (and tim holtz dies and not spellbinder ones) and can cut and emboss 12" . The Union stepped in to defend those who had declared their loyalty.Īs head of the Army of Virginia, General George Britton McClellan had to move his troops quickly into western Virginia because the secessionists were destroying the bridges that would serve as vital supply and communication lines in the mountainous region.Big shot Pro - The machine is BIG. Takes a lot of real estate! What property they could not confiscate they destroyed. His anti-Union forces beat and shot pro-Union Virginians. When the western counties declared their loyalty to the Union by unanimous vote, Governor Letcher inaugurated a reign of terror. The secession of Richmond was the catalyst that bolted the western counties to finally assert their independence when Virginia seceded from the Union, the western part of the state seceded from Virginia. While Virginia Governor Letcher trained the state militia for service against the Union, pro-Union meetings were held throughout the western counties. The natural disaffection that had developed between the east and the west was fueled by tax exemptions granted to the east that those in the west did not receive.

The mountainous regions of the west excluded slavery, while the low-lying lands of the east invited it. The populations of the eastern and western portions of the Old Dominion were as different as the geography that separated them.

As Owen passed from "Hoosierdom to the old dominion," he was about to join the fight to free the western part of Virginia from Confederate control.
