It's here and available for everyone! The brand new die-cutting machine that is.
I've been using mine and I love it! They said it would cut dies with one pass through and it really does! Even intricate dies! I love the portability of it and how compact it is for storage.
Thin, fully magnetic sheet with self-healing cutting surface. Te Magnetic Cutting Plate holds dies securely in place, even nested dies. This slim, portable sheet replaces a Cutting Plate in your sandwich, making it even easier to take with you. It's recommended to use with the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine but I will try it in my Big Shot and let you know if it works.
Did you know you can get this machine at 10% off? Just add it to your Starter kit! It's just $99 and you can add up to $125 in products. This machine costs $120. Go here to do that.
The colors include Parakeet Party, Bermuda Bay and a tiny bit of Granny Apple Green. The designer paper inside the clear envelope is Pretty Prints. Here's how I created the clear envelope shaker:
My Pretty Prints designer paper layer is 5 1/4" X 4" and our clear envelopes are about 1/2" larger. For the shaker elements to stay on the front side of the envelope it has to be tight and smaller. So I added tear & tape to the back edge and folded the extra over tightly. Now, insert your shaker elements on the front pocket and fold down the end flap. Wallah! You have a shaker card front!
This DSP is from the Pretty Prints; soon to retire from the Annual catalog. See it here.
It includes some of my favorite colors – Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral and Evening Evergreen.
The CS layers on the front are added on top of this shaker element so you still get the feel of a real card; not all slippery. Watch the video here or below to see how it's done. It's the 2nd project of 3.
Today I'm featuring two cards using a technique called 'Baby Swipe'. What is it? It's where you roll up a baby wipe and drop ink refill liquid on the edge and use it to swipe across your paper. Super fun to try.
Candace chose to use the Irresistible Blooms bundle and the pretty Naturally Gilded specialty paper seen here. These items are on the Online Exclusives site and available for a limited time.
Her colors include Petal Pink, Soft Sea Foam and Flirty Flamingo. This specialty DSP works wonderfully for this because the surface is glossy. Once you're done adding ink use a tissue or soft cloth to wipe away the excess ink. It will not adhere to the foil areas.
She used Copper embossing powder on her flower, leaves and greeting. The texture is from the new Basics 3D embossing folder pack. These are currently out of stock but will be back in May or earlier.

Next is a gorgeous scenic card made by Brenda. She also chose to use one of the new Online Exclusive products; the Rhino Ready bundle.
She used the same embossing folder on the Cajun Craze layer and die-cut a window using the Diorama dies seen here. I think her scene is stunning!
Baby Wipe technique – 2 great swaps by my Flowerbug’s
Our March card swap theme was to use a technique with a re-inker or an ink refill. There are lots of fun techniques out there that you need ink refills for.
These first two feature the Baby Wipe technique; one of my very favorites for getting multiple colors on solid images!
This first card was made by Marla where she featured the Love for You bundle seen here.
I believe her colors include Bermuda Bay, Granny Apple Green, Melon Mambo and Calypso Coral. She even stamped her greeting in the baby wipe technique. Watch my video today here (or later on my YouTube channel here) to see how it's done. It's absolutely fun!!
I believe her colors include Navy, Garden Green and Tahitian Tide. Her White layers are textured with the Painted Texture 3D embossing folder seen here.
