These were the Coffee and Mint cards I made last year. Instead of Elizabeth Shaw mints I used Twilights, the ones that look like the Cadbury Minatures.

I have the instructions as a .pdf but not sure where they came from originally. It's very each - cut A4 card length ways, score half way then 7.7cm from each end. Fold in half then fold the ends the other way. Stick the middle bit together to get the pocket then punch in the inside. If that doesn't make sense I could try and put up some photos tomorrow.

Thanks for the instructions, they seem simple enough to make, so will have a go later on in the week.

Thanks again.

For machines I'd definitely recommend a Cricut as there is such a huge range of cartridges and software to go with it. Definitely not compact though! There is the MM Slice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43r8s1ATI0g

Hi Rosie Ben,

Here are the instructions to make my post-it holders. They look great but I have to warn you it does take time to create all the different mats, before you stick it all together.

Thanks for that CT :A

To be honest I'm so out of touch I have no idea how much these things cost these days. I got my Cricut from America and it was over £300 with a couple of cartridges. I think the Slice is quite a bit less. If it's not something you'd use often then I'd say it's not worth getting.

Die Cutting Machines

Can i stick my little nose in here, anyone who has had a nosey at my you know what will know i am a die cut addict!!
And if you look at a recent review i have done, please do not buy the making memories slice!!!
I have a bigshot express, cuttlebug, Big shot pro, cricut expression and craft robo
it really depends what you would like to do any cut - i love my cricut best out of my electric machines but i also love to cut cans, and wood, and fabric and board and would not be without my bidshot for this!!
I write some die cutting tutorials which is why i have the big shot and the cuttlebug and i always say to people i prefer my bigshot, it feels more sturdy than the cuttlebug even when i am cutting crazy stuff with it!!
The cuttlebug does save on space so this should be considered i guess
but if any one has any questions please give me a shout!
