Come on then...spill the beans...what dies did you go for?

DH was talking last night that he didn't think it was fair and didn't want to get me an alphabet set for xmas...it wasn't personal enough and I already know what else he has for me and he wants to get me a surprise!
He went on to say, if I want the alphabet, then buy one and he could get me something else!

What a little darling he is!

11! Now go and put your new toy away, because if you keep sitting there drooling over it you'll make it all wet.

Ok, I got the
scallop tag die combo
medium balloons
small safety pin
small champagne glass
small bitty body and
small bitty PJ's and bear.

So if anyone wants any of those, CAT me on the 26th!!!! Do want an alphabet pretty soon too.

soggy dies dont cut well

SilentBite · 14/12/2005 16:45

I have to ask - what is a sizzix?

In fact I don't understand a word on this thread!

PeachyPlumFairy · 14/12/2005 17:01

A contraption ionto which you put 'dies' of different shapes then cut shapes out of paper, foam etc. So, like butterflies or shells or dogs... iyswim?

Like a glammed up bigger more expensive hole punch that is interchangeable.

So you can make things like this

Becca81 · 14/12/2005 17:03

I wondered what it was too SilentBite (like the name btw!) I looked it up on Google and its a cutting tool for arty craft work.

WeWhizzzYouAMerryXmas · 14/12/2005 18:53

Yeee Ha !

To go with my Xmas Sizzix, I have just ordered ;

Large - Birthday cake, Sailboat & Train
Small - Bitty body, dress & Shorts/top

I may have to swap anything from the above for some small girl & boy hair !

DingleBells · 14/12/2005 20:38

After the mad rush of xmas is over I will happily cut you some Bitty girl hair (#1)give me a shout after xmas. Until then, use wool, raffia,string..or just make likkle bald babies!

WeWhizzzYouAMerryXmas · 14/12/2005 20:40

Thanks Dingle !
I'm Sooooo excited. I have 2 parcels to collect at the Post Office tomorrow - one may be my Sizzix (although I have only ordered the dies today !)

DingleBells · 14/12/2005 20:46

What I want to do at some stage is make up a list of sizzix/quickutz dies I have in excel/word. That way I can easily amend it when I buy new ones! If I can do that soon Whizzz, I can email it to you and if there are any others you would like to try, you can just shout.
It is a great way to try out the dies before you buy. It's madness to all have the same dies when we could swap some of them. But there are just some dies you really must have for yourself!

It might depend on what kind of printer you have. Do you have the option of changing print formats on it? Like in Word etc - print preview / format ??

UCM · 14/12/2005 21:00

Gosh, Ding You are priviledged, you need to list your 'dies' on excel.

WELL I DON'T, I know all of em, the ones that the bloody sizzix sidekick came with and this F**king coastal set which is pant pant pant pant pants!!!!!!

Calm now, lucky you.

BTW if anyone wants to send a coastal card to anyone, I am your man!

ChampsOnIce · 14/12/2005 23:06

lololol never!!, dingle that's some list!!

DingleBells · 14/12/2005 23:20

Well I thought I had been quite good! I was given a couple, got a few freebies at Hobby craft a while back- bought 1 medium die and got a small one free. Personally I think it was a computer error. It should have been buy the sizzix machine and get a small die free...weell I am not one to resist a bargain so I went back to get some more!
Some of the QK were reduced from £9 ( for a double kutz) to £3 or £5 so some of them jumped into my basket too.
