if i buy some spellbinders will i need an adapter to use them with my cuttlebug? You can tell i am new to this cuttlebug lark!

Nope you can use them straight from the pack in your cuttlebug. By spellbinders I am presuming you mean nestabilities?
Lovely card!!

Butterfly - lovely card!

Lyndach - Afraid it did lol although I like your style!!

Mary fingers crossed it works for you!

Marg - My mum would agree with that, she says that Maddison is payback for the way I was :rotfl: my poor mum I feel so sorry! lol

Just uploaded a new card to my blog I think it needs something else but not sure what? or even if it does?? any suggestions please?

I used to do it that way, then at the NEC I saw someone doing it a different way which is so much easier .....

A plate, B plate, Card, Nestie facing down, then C plate ...

you can see what you are cutting ... I always used to hold my plate up in the air to make sure the stamped image was inside the scallop etc it was a nightmare, plus since doing it that way I no longer cut into my C board

Some of the die cutting machines might need adapters for use them, but with nesties you can just use them straight on the bug. you need an A plate a C plate and a B plate which all should have come with your cuttlebug anyway!

I was so upset when i cut into my c plate, i didn't know it did that, I didn't like it as it wasn't perfect anymore.

I screamed when I did it to mine, poor OH has never moved so fast!! Mind you when I first used nesties the noise as then run through is awful, sounds like a cracking noise, I still get it with new nesties! I refused to use mine, then OH had a go and thought he had broke it :rotfl:

flourgirl

Yep I've cut my C plate too, is there anyone who hasn't

Rusty.... evil, wicked and nasty... aren't they just words for playful and high spirited lol

Sunrise they are lovely, sorry I have no idea how much to charge. I'm terrible at asking people to pay for my stuff

Flippin' 'eck you lot - a girl goes out for the afternoon and comes back to three pages that she MUST read - phew!!

Thanks for the advice re: glue - so silicone glue for roses and a Sakura glue pen to be added to the list - this cardmaking lark is going to bankrupt me and we're not even out of January :rotfl:

Lovely cards everyone - will do a proper bloghop later.

Hugs to our poorlies Maryop and Myz. Look after yourselves girls.

Love, just adore the digi of the little girl in a strop - I think I'm going to go and cut up my credit card .

Okay, time to start on tea. Later peeps, Thriftyxxx
