    Hi everyone! I'm new to the thread but been happily crafting away for many years! I've now been given the go ahead to buy my CRICUT! but unsure if i should go for this or the silohette, does anyone have any tips on the higher priced die cutters? x

    I have had a brief look at both, and I like the look of the Silhouette as the possibilities are endless. Google "cricut or silhoutte" and have a look at soem of the pros and cons. can i be your friend if you get a silhouette pleeeeeease?? ;)

    I get one 'good' stamp, maybe 2, on a whole A4 sheet of card, so it's quite expensive so I'll go back to abstaining from stamping I think lol

    Hiya Myz not sure if this will help but with your clear stamps get an ordinary rubber - pencil eraser and give your stamps a good going over. Next time you have a few pence to spare Tim Holtz does this pad which is good for stamping on and also sort of priming your stamps, it looks like a very gentle scouring pad.

    If I have a problem with clear stamps and ink I usually go back and use Versafine. Hope this helps. I apologise if anyone else has answered but I'm in catch-up, no internet connection at work :eek: and busy at home.

    Marg thanks for extending our 'cards for the troops' I want to make some more as well, good I dea about usuing sandwich bags, hadn't thought of that.

  • salesadmin Thank you for the info re asda i'm going to do a couple for Kaitlyn for school so that will be handy plus asda is my corner shop lol.
    Dread to think what they'll look like but i'm picking rusty's brains so they should be good. Thank you rusty
