IT HAS ARRIVED

Hi Everyone

It is definitely a "happy Wednesday".

My special delivery arrived today at around 4.00pm .. .. woo hoo!!  I received quite a bit of feedback telling me I won't regret my purchase .. .. thank you for that it made me feel much better.

I opened everything up, rang my Mum to say it had arrived and then took myself out into the garden to sit and read all the instructions that came with it.

So many bits of paper and so many languages LOL!!

Eventually I managed to convince myself that the first cut will go straight through the card of my choice and the cutting mat!!  But I set myself a goal that by bedtime tonight I want to have cut a square from a piece of card

All on my little lonesome I set everything up and got myself connected WIFI wise etc .. .. not bad for someone who is a bit of a technophobe.

8.00pm and look what I managed



I decided a square was far too boring and if I was going to have a hole cut in my mat I would rather it was a heart LOL!!

Even if I only ever use it for cutting rectangles and hearts you won't believe how much time that is going to save me .. .. but of course I want to do far more than that with it.

On the back of most of my wedding work I stick a little rectangle with my name, logo and website address.  Currently I print these and then cut them out using Spellbinders dies and my faithful Cuttlebug machine . .. but as I am sure you can imagine it means me turning that handle 100's of times .. .. just for one wedding! 

I feel certain once I know how to use it properly I am going to be able to reclaim loads of time . .. . you wouldn't believe how much time I spend turning that Cuttlebug handle.

Hope my brain lets me sleep tonight LOL!!

I wonder what my next achievement with it is going to be?

Catch you again soon .. .. ..

    well done - it had to be a heart! Sounds as if you will save so much time and handle turning but I'm sure you will find exciting things to do as well as you go along

    You lucky girl Jules, I've always shied away from buying one because I don't think I would take the time to learn how to use it properly and I would struggle to find space for it! I will watch with interest to see how you get on with it - you've made a good start.

    Wow, congratulations !!!!!! It looks like a wonderful machine, and you already managed to use it, with wifi and all that, super ! I wish you lots of fun with your new "toy" !! :o) I always use pages with labels (like Avery) to print my address etc... , they are self adhesive and you have them in different formats. I use f.i. the 45,7 x 21,2 labels, you have 48 labels on one sheet. They also come in "clear", so you hardly see them on coloured cards/envelopes.
    Love, Enny
