Rainmac thank you re Die cut dreams - have entered my card xx

No problem at all I have made a card for your Bingo challenge, I hope you will let me off using a die rather than a punch No worries if not, loved making the card in spring-time colours especially as it is miserable and raining here

Rusty, I have a Magnolia border die, only used it a couple of times but it was a necessity when I bought it I absolutely love the box and matching card on your blog

This is what I am worried about ... there is one which I keep thinking I MUST have but not sure I would use it all that much? although I do have a punch on ebay which I paid £11 delivered for and it is currently at £35 with 5 days left so maybe I could use some of that and buy it? I just don't know!! ... was going to ask what sandwich you use ... but pointless as you have a big shot :rotfl: so that really wouldn't help me!!

Thanks for the comment about my box ...

Louby - there are a couple of pot rice type things (think they are Trufree) usually in the free from aisle in Tescos that aren't too bad!

Ooohhh what dies are you looking at? I really want loads of the Magnolia ones but am being good and not bought any more I use the same sandwich as I do for Nesties/ Marianne/ Nellie Snellon if that helps at all x

That's a fab price for your punch, way to go :T I made over £100 on the stamps and cross stitch stuff I sold on ebay last week :cool:

Its this one (Tilda Lace) that I really want ... can't find any pre cut ones being sold on ebay! Grr



That does help, but I think if you haven't used yours after persuading yourself that you really needed it then I probably should behave myself! I want an Xcut alphabet die, and a zig zag punch and the echo park papers aswell ... so who knows LOL think I need to wait for my new unit to arrive before buying any more stash!!

Well done you :j :j ... I owe you for the *other* things ... will PM you now xxx
