Can i ask a 'silly' question please? How do Spellbinders cut? Cuttlebug dies have the foam etc, but am i right in thinking nesties are just a piece of metal? do they have a sharp edge? Also do do Nellie snellens do they same thing as nesties?

Told you it was a silly question! lol

They are not sharp as in you would cut yourself on them but yes they are just a piece of metal with a raised bit that cuts the shape and nellie snellens are the the same hth

PONR - yes thats what I meant. Sorry iof I wasnt clear! Thanks. I will have a look, but would like something to go on my desk.

KMS - yes, nesties are just a piece of metal. Nellie Snellens are too. They have a raised edge that cuts the paper when put through the bigshot or bug. Hope that helps.

I've got to think of more ideas for men's cards - they're always the hardest. Last year I did one for each of their hobbies, but now I've run out of hobbies!

One that's coming up is 21 - I did a shirt card for him last year. I don't really know what he likes.

CT19720 Yep I'll get a blinking one done for you asap and I'll email you the instructions and yep I'll get one done for your challenge too

Gemm sending you and your mum hugs. Sorry you didn't get the job - you would think they would take nerves into consideration with these things.

Lovely card Sarah

Giggle Glad to hear the acting head is getting it sorted. Please let us know how you get on when you go back

KMS Don't be upset when you get them and they cut into your shiny new plates and turn them from flat to banana shaped - it's normal :eek:

How's the diets going everyone - I've been counting points since yesterday and my tummy hasn't stopped grumbling (suppose that's what happens when you use them up eating iced gingerbread - bad peppop) Ok must go make badges now...

I think Asda had table top ones, not sure if Instore did or not. I think I've seen them reduced somewhere lol but not sure where!! If I come across any I will let you know.

Have you thought about buying some of these Flippin Men stamps. They are brilliant and only £1 a pack. I have bought most of them and have a good selection of subjects for men's cards now. They stamp beautifully. Postage is free when you spend over £5.

They really do warp your plates and even though I alternate the way I use the plates they still look very 'deformed'!

I really wanted the Flippin Men football ones but they had sold out. I have bought another set or two though
