Here is a card that I hadn't planned to post, but my grandson laughed so hard when he opened it, I just have to share it with you, along with his comments.
This young man, who just turned 11, has grown up stamping and using his mother's stamping supplies. He's used the Big Shot since it was first introduced in the Stampin' up! line. So, because my friend, Mimi, sparked the idea by showing me some samples using Big Shot textured aluminum foil, I thought that might give my grandson a chuckle. Did it ever! His first comment as he pulled the card out of the envelope was, "Designer
foil? He laughed so hard at the idea that his mother and I got the giggles laughing at him. When he caught his breath, he asked what the gold faux buttons were cut from. Candy wrappers. That information sent him into another paroxysm of laughter. His mother's comment later, "I guess he's been listening when he hears me talk about Designer Paper".
It is a silly card but it generated such a reaction, I thought you might enjoy it, too.
The stamp set is
Happy Everything
If you decide to run aluminum foil through your big shot with a texture plate, I would suggest that you use heavy duty foil and, for a little deeper impression, layer a piece of printer paper with the foil. I may still experiment with some card ideas, but not using a whole large panel like this, unless it becomes an under-panel. Stay tuned for some other adventures with the Big Shot. It's amazing what this little machine will do.
