Hi! DonnaMarie, welcome to one of the friendliest places on earth. You certainly can use your Sizzix and Provocraft folders with the Wizard. Try it out first and if it doesn't emboss as deeply as you would like, just add a shim (a piece of card the same size as your folder) and try it. With all the things I've pushed through my Wizard, I haven't had a problem. Even the Nellie Snellen and Joy dies have been fine. The only thing I've not tried is the Bigz XL dies as they are so expensive.

Thanks so much. I might treat myself to a few as I think they'll be great for quick christmas cards as shown by Craftyfairy.

Craftfairies Thanks for the info about the magnetic sheets.

Can I be cheeky? If anyone is going to Hobbycraft can they please get me some? 3 will do. I will be happy to pay any postage/packing charges you incur to post it to me. I can't get to a Hobbycraft and it's 69p a sheet online with £3.95 delivery .

TomsMom - I'm going to go back to hobbycraft later this morning and if I find it I will happily get some more for you. Are you bothered about what colour - on the website is shows different colours but not sure if the store would stock them all. Sure you only want 3 sheet will get you more if you want it and they have it. Let me know. I'll be leaving here about 11.

Good morning! We have sunshine today - hope it reaches you all soon. Despite that, I'm still feeling carp, yesterdays 'not brilliant best' start developed into a very nasty attack of cystitis. I managed to get antibiotics so it's not as bad today - sorry too much information.

Artydoll - thanks for the reminder I thought 27th was Sunday:eek: I'll see what I can come up with. Our nieces birthday is 27th & DH had to go & buy a card (hangs head in shame)

Well Done Toms Mum it was a gorgeous card.

CT - I've had a pearlised red card from Papermill as part of a mixed box not sure if they do it by the sheet. I can send you a sheet if it helps.

Thanks for the offer Marg - I'm going to order some red pearlesant paper from Happy Hippo later to see if that is what I need for these apature christmas cards I am going to make this year. Only made one so far to see if my idea would work, and it is already bugging me. I am sure once I have sussed it out properly for one card making the other 60+ will be a piece of cake!

They look fab Flourgirl - are you going to be using them in the cuttlebug, and if so do they come out OK with a 'deep embossing'?
