Die cutting machine workshop.....

Yesterday was a really great day at the kabin...we spent the day playing with Bigshot machines, Grand Calibur, Bigshot pro machine and Cuttlebugs......
Most of the ladies had their own machines and very kindly brought them along with them...the majority had a good idea on how to use them, but we all learnt something from yesterday, whether it was about our machine and how to get more out of it or just getting to play with a new cutting machine...for me it was a really great chance to have a play with the Grand Calibur, I have a Big Shot Pro but will definitely be buying the Calibur, it cuts the wafer thin dies to perfection...so for me that is a must!!!

We did manage to also make a couple of cards....just to use some of the techniques that were learnt during the workshop....



In this card we used the following:

Bazzil Bling 12 x 12 card stock - glass slipper
Coredinations 12 x 12 card stock - white wash pink
American binding ribbon
Pearls from stash
Cuttlebug embossing folders: Polka dot and swirls
Marianne die: scalloped flowers
Spellbinders nestabilities: labels one
Tim Holtz distress ink - Victorian Velvet


White card stock
Square 144 x 144cm blank card stock
Coredinations distressed 12 x 12 card stock
Marianne dies: Butterfly, scalloped circle with swirls, lace boarder and flowers.
Liquid pearl in Mint Green

Hope you all are enjoying your weekend....

Big hugs
