Most of the time people will just wrap the vellum and adhere it inside of the card. Check out Kristina Werners channel, she has some tips for vellum I think. If not she uses it a good but and it might help you out.

Great basics video, Amy! I should start to pay attention to the weight, I usually buy paper because I like the look of it. I do have heavier cardstock I bought for cards. My favourite pads are the ones that are double sided, I feel ripped off if there is a white back, but they do work best if there is no folding, etc. Thanks for this! Debbie :)

Thank you for another awesome video Maymay. I love your accent too. My question is this, I just got my Big Shot Plus delivered as I am new to card making and trying to buy all the materials, supplies and tools to help me in my new hobby. I didn't order any accessories for my Big Shot+ but do you think I need any of the accessories? Take that back I did buy a die brush w/foam pad to remove paper from intricate dies. I used my Big Shot on embossing folders and came out very nicely and bought several dies and they work nicely. Do I need the magnetic platform, crease pad, precision plate, and or shims. I watch a lot of KZitem and one lady was having a heck of a time with her intricate dies. She was putting shims and pads and she also looked like she was struggling to wind the handle to run the base/project through her machine ( can't be good for the machine) any problems you came across. Or any ideas of what to invest in and what items are a must. I have a lot know. Went and bought the basic. Scoreboard, trimmer, inks in pigments and dye, watercolors with paper, and I'm starting my inventory of paper (the scrapbook paper) and was wondering what weight of base do you use for your cards? I know it depends upon the project and who it may be going to. It's probably safe to have all weights in many colors and designs. I have 110 lbs paper and it's really thick. Is that what I use for the base? I was using it for my actual project then adhering to a card base that I bought already made with envelopes Any suggestions and ideas are Much appreciated. Thanks again.
@jozicardamama9687
7 жыл бұрын
I think for the Big Shot, it depends on what you will be doing with it. I pretty much just use the magnetic platform and cutting plates for die cutting. I never have to use shims. For embossing, it depends on the embossing folder. Some I can use on the magnetic plate but for others, I need to use the the tabbed platform. For cardmaking, I only use the 110lb card stock for 5x7 cards. I use Recollections 65lb or Stampin Up 80lb for A4 cards.

Juanita Groves I do not think you will be able to find it on chipboard "items" you know like letters or boxes etc. If you buy it in a pack of flat sheets it will sometimes say on the package. Also, if you know the manufacturer you are purchasing you can sometimes Google the info. Sorry I didn't have a definite answer!

Juanita Groves Hope Amy doesn't mind me butting in but I think I can help a little. I buy Grafix medium weight chipboard ( www.joann.com/grafix-12inx12in-medium-weight-chipboard-sheets-25pk-natural/2082303.html) it is .057 in weight, I wish they would just say it's 1/16", 1/8" thick etc. But they measure it this way so you can use the .057 as a gauge when shopping. Joanns does not have it in stores so wait for free shipping if you decide to order as chipboard is heavy to ship. The .057 is a nice sturdy weight. It will bend but you have to work at it. If I need something heavier I just use 2 layers. I hope this helps.

Great video! I didn't realize there was so many differences in the papers. I was just buying what I thought was pretty. For the base, I bought a solid white, black, and kraft. I just checked, all mine is 65lb. I've got one pad by Colorbok that does not have the weight listed. It feels like the rest of my paper. So as long as I plan on layering my cards, the 65lb weight will be okay to use. Is that correct? I love the way your cards look with all the matting. That's how I have been doing my "trial and error cards. I guess, if I ever decide to do just a stamped card, I should use 80 or 100lb base. Thanks for a great class. Hugs and prayers, Neasie
@MaymayMadeIt

DeNease Moore when I do a one layer card I like to use a stronger base. The 65lb can be a little flimsy. It is really just a feel thing anyway, what ever you want your finished project to be. Glad this could help, don't feel locked in to a specific weight though, I use lots of different weights on my projects. Thanks for watching me!!!
