Am I going Mad or has.......

[UCM]

Mr Rugbycrafts thread been removed. I can't see it anywhere.

I bloody can't see what I am supposed to do with a Seagull, Lighthouse, Dynamite( supposed to be driftwood) and a crappy fence bit. It's crap.

Want me to go on. I live by the sea, and the seagulls are bastards. QueenEagle you have an unlimited invitation to do target practise. The driftwood looks like F*8king dynamite and the fence is shite. As for the lighthouse....

does that explain old chap?

any tips for using the sizzlets int he sizzix?

Even on fairly thin paper I have problems cutting through. i do it near the edge and press a couple fo times. Do i need to pad up the cutting pad do you think or is there something elee i could be doing? (I DO use the adapter btw-lol)

UCM - that could be the next card challenge.

ALl to make a card from the Coastal set.
The Coastal 2 set doesn't look as bad, I have to say !

Do you want to buy it? From me, never been used.

£1.50 ?

How about my "dog bone and bowl" die!! it was a freebie so I shouldn't complain.

I would love to see what others can make of that one. Every other die I have had is tried out straight away, not exactly inspired by that one though!

Perhaps our next challenge should be "the most useless embellishment swap!"

It sits there staring at me as if to say, you are not creative, you tart, now go away and make a sunflower by hand!!!

It's yours

I reckon we all must have at least one thing that we bought & don;t know what to do with it

I have 3 rolls of the stuff sequins are cut out of & a sheet of pressed flowers !
Now there's a challenge

ding, I have to say that I bought these off of ebay thinking that it was a die. Instead I got a load of naff looking dogs/bones/kennels. I actually sent these as a prize for one of the card comps on here. (Mrs F I am sorry)

Whizzz, have you used your non-stick card yet? I made another card with mine...it went down a treat!

want the pressed flowers please

an the mad foil stuff

Oh, beware I bought some lovely card (self adhesive) ie put the backing off. It doesn't work in a sizzix sidekick. Beautiful silver/gold glitter effect.

Pixiefish -- is your sizzix new? i had to use it a few times. i cut the sizzlets in mine no problem and use card with it.
you can try usin a shim(thin piece of card) with it to see if that helps.

I meant to say pull the backing off. It seemed to get caught in the die

dingle, the bowl can double up as the bottom of a snowglobe (did someone on here give that tip?)

yes

Yes,,,it twas me! LOL..haven't tried it yet though.

pmsl!!

If anyone wants a try after crimbo....

champs- my sizzix is fairly new as the last one i had developed a crack in it and the chap i bought it off swapped it for me. the mat is a few weeks old though ans it cuts ordinary dies. Think I will have to try a chim with it- it may well be that it's not getting 'enough' grip cheers

no probs.

just out of curiosity, did your old one cut the sizzlets ok?
