BitsyBeans - I love your card - stunning in its simpleness - can I ask where you got the stamp from as it is just my style.

Ebay I love it.

You go girl. I am avoiding looking TBH. I would really like a Big Shot but I think I am going to have to wait otherwise H will have a fit

Why didn't I marry a millionaire who can afford my craft fetish :rotfl:

thankyou Lisa for all the info,i dont like anything that i can't get to grips with straight away it would end up through the window will take a look at the cricut,so far im swaying towards that or the cuttlebug.i keep my stuff in a storage trolley under the stairs and all my other bits,ribbon,scissors etc in the shoe boxes that came with it so wouldn't really have lots of room for a large machine.i need a second house to store everything

I don't have a lot of room in my house either to store all my craft stuff understairs cupboard is full of DS's toys But my bigshot tends to live on top of my fridge and I have a box with all the dies in which the big shot sits on top of when not being used, I prefer the big shot as you are not limited to useing just the sissex die's with it you can use the nestabilities and cuttlebug ones so you do get a whole wide rang of choice. You can also cut material with it which I do like the idea of.

craftfairies

a manual machine like the big shot or cuttlebug is better for fabric
The dies that cut fabfric best are the sizzix original and bigz dies
have a look through some of the sections here
Sizzlits will not cut fabric

I got my Cuttlebug for £31 in the US - had a 50% off voucher which I used in a craft shop there to get it for that though. Was really pleased with my bargain price!!!

flyingpig and all other crafty people - please help!

SOMEWHERE on these forums a long while ago I saw someone had made some lovely envelopes (or something similar) as a nice way of glamming up vouchers or gift cards for presents, but I can't for the life of me remember what I saw or where!

Do any of you have any pictures of anything like this that you might have made that I could have a look at to get inspiration from please?? I king of know in my mind the type of thing i might like to make, but I would love some pictorial inspirations if you have any?!

Many Christmassy and Sparkly Thanks in advance!! lol

i have messaged the lady seling it (the cuttlebug) and it doesn't come with any instructions or dies so may just be better for me to buy a new one as it will come with both of those £77 in hobby craft but may be able to pick a new one up from ebay for a bit cheaper

Sorry to butt in!!! I've been looking at Cuttlebugs on ebay too!! Not many about and don't seem to be much cheaper than buying a new one. Can someone please tell me (I am very new to this and haven't got a clue!) can cuttlebug embossing folders be used with a Bigshot machine? Bigshots seem to be cheaper than Cuttlebugs? I want to use the Swiss Dots to emboss my wedding invitations then when they are all done I want to start making more cards for Christmas, birthdays etc.

Thanks in advance - ps I love this thread. You are all so inspirational and friendly!!! (Unlike some other threads on this Forum)
