The Amber Autumn card captures everything we love about this season — warm colours, cozy textures, and nature-inspired details. The Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder adds subtle depth, while the autumn leaf and acorn take centre stage with simple die-cut layering. I love how the openwork circle die frames the sentiment beautifully — keeping the focus right where it belongs and adding just the right touch of detail.

We’ll chat all about the perks — from ongoing product discounts and early catalogue access to the incredible community and friendships that come with being a demonstrator. Plus, I’ll stamp a simple, beautiful project live using items you could include in your Starter Kit, so you can see just how easy (and fun!) it is to get started.

Q: I have an older Big Shot machine—will a 3D embossing folder still work in it?

A: Yes! You can absolutely use 3D embossing folders in an older Big Shot—it just needs a slightly different “sandwich.” Here’s how:

1️⃣ Use your standard Big Shot platform (no thin die adapter).
2️⃣ Place your cardstock inside the 3D Folder and then on the platform.
3️⃣ Add one cutting plate on top (not two)
4️⃣ Run it through the machine.

If it feels too loose, add a thin shim of cardstock for a bit more pressure. You’ll still get a lovely result—though the impression may be slightly lighter than with a newer machine designed for 3D folders.

✨ Tip: Every Big Shot has a bit of variation in pressure, so do a quick test run first to find the perfect combo for your machine.

This week is all about getting organized and starting your first round of cards. Begin by doing a quick inventory check—pull out your inks, adhesives, Stampin’ Dimensionals, and favourite Designer Series Paper, and note anything that’s running low. Next, plan your list: mark the people who’ll need their cards mailed early and count how many you’ll need in total.

Once that’s sorted, it’s time to make your first batch! Choose one simple, batch-friendly layout that you can easily repeat, and then follow these quick steps:

1.  Cut all your layers for 8–12 cards at once and store the pieces together in a tray or large zipper bag.
2. Stamp assembly-line style—sentiments first, then images, and finally assemble your layers.
3. Add embellishments last for a neat finish (and fewer smudges!).

 Pro tip: Cut a few extra sentiment strips while you’re at it—you’ll thank yourself later when you’re finishing cards in a hurry.
