Does anyone own or use a Sizzix machine?

[anorak]

I am thinking of asking for one for my Christmas present. I'd love to hear what people who have used one think of them.

Oh where? where????.....I need them.....just had a big order for some of my crazy kids cards......I ordered some from another site and they arrived this am....they are awful!!!!!

they were quite expnesive tho' £2.99 for 6.
got thenm from Craftworld but don't know if they are local or national, will goodgle them and look on packing for any clues.

Just a thought.....I have a sizzix machine and can make some off the little bitty fairies.....does anyone want to start a bit of a swap shop going with their card making bits and bobs?

I have posted your bits tonight Dingle....chucked in some bits too for your cards for the DS society.

Jaysmum, what dies do you have?

Sounds like a great idea - why don't you start a new thread about it to avoid confusion?

OK will do....

Jaysmum, it has been mentioned before about some sort of crafty embellishment swap.
I know it's not your cup of tea, but I knit little tiny baby booties, and I am starting to do footballer hats/scarves in team colours, I do cute faces with hair in bunches....
I would love to see some samples of the dies you all have. I can't justify buying one but have seen some lovely toppers made up with sizzix dies. I would like to know a bit more but would be interested in the doll body ( what dimensions are the bitty bodies...)

Dingle.....new thread started

I got one, I got one!! went to craft show today and got one... aswell as other stuff. cant wait to try it out.

Oh champs you will love it....I adore mine and cant imagine how i managed without it before....just keep spending far too much money on new dies though

lol, know what you mean I keep looking at dies already

champs....have you seen these?????
The bitty bodys is a good buy....even though it is used.....I know the person selling them and there stuff is usually very good.
Just a thought.....dont want to encourage you......like you need encouraging!!!!!!

OMGosh!! I want them!!
look at this pink!! didn't know it came in pink!!

Bloody hell and its only £9.99 ATM....but two days left of bidding!!!!!

qvc hasn't got it on there. where on earth did they get it from??

aahhh just did a search on a scrapping forumn and would seem it isn't a "sizzix" just an imitation. Qvc were selling them but just called it a die cutting machine, wonder if they got in trouble, looks just like a sizzix!!

Jayzmummy -- Please can you tell me the name of person as the link goes to a search

Ive been off line for a few days....argh bloody braodband!!!!!

champs what link were you looking for????

hiya, got my lazy fingers to search mnet and found it thanks!!

whose your isp? my bb goes abit mad sometimes too

We are with Virgin.....but it was a BT fault!!!!!

hmmm wondering if it's bt making mone funny too??!!

OK, some questions about Sizzix machines.

I've found one on ebay for £37.50 plus £9.50 p&p - I think this sounds like quite a bargain, am I right?

Are the shapes copyright or can you use them on cards you sell? I know you can sell the diecuts on ebay and craft stalls - considering that too.

Does it work on foam sheets (fuinky foam?)?

I just want crisp edges!!!

Thats a great price usally about £60 or £70
yes it cuts funcky foam sheet metal the thin stuffI've cut thick mounting card

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed one

Now stop lusting & luring over it, buy it, go for it.
I didn't just lust & lure I dribble over it.

Does that not make it go rusty?
