Fantastic xmas cards Rainmac, I love the trees and I love the decoupage, where did you get the images from?

I bought Paper Nation die-cut decoupage images from a few places. I thought these came from One Stop Card Crafts but can't find them on their site now? This sheet is called Snowman Building and was about £1.

The pyramid decoupage (don't think that's what it's really called) were from a lovely seller on ebay... http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/kelly20050_2_W0QQ_nkwZQQ_armrsZ1QQ_fromZQQ_mdoZ. She doesn't seem to have any craft items for sale at the moment on there but she also has an online shop - http://www.!!!!!!!!!!!!!/ellacardcreations/apps/photos/photo.jsp?photoID=10758390&prev=1

I love the cuttlebug - want to buy a few alphabet sets for it though, as letters and embossing are the main reason I wanted it.

The great thing about the cuttlebug is that it takes dies and embossers from loads of different sources - hurrah!

I had a cuttlebug for my birthday and am having trouble getting it to cut sizzlits - everything else is fine.

Can anyone help? It's driving me potty.

Lovely cards ikkle... and well done on starting your christmas cards rainmac... I haven't even started the thank you cards for the wedding yet... I've just felt so rotten for weeks now and to top it off DD bought home a sick bug Monday and I spent my birthday throwing up! If I leave any longer I might end up *shock horror* buying some...

Polly - definately continue the challenges, I think they're a great way to get us to try something different - the pop up card challenge was brilliant. Thanks for the links and the info on onestopcards' competitions.

Hi Paddingtondoo
This is what i was told for cutting the sizzlets
Sizzlit Dies/Thin cuts
Plate “A”
Plate “B”
Die (cutting side up)
Cardstock
Plate “B”
Note: Provocraft suggests using Place” C” instead of the second Plate “B”, however, CB owners have cracked plates, so try with two “B” plates first.


Someone on another forum kindly sent me a list of what plates to use to cut each brand of dies . If you would like a copy just pm me your e mail addy and i'll send it to you .

Fab cards rainmac i really must do more.
