Christmas Cards Round 1...





I am at home and not a very well bunny. Mr Fairy was really poorly last week with what we think was flu and now i think i have it, but i think i have it combined with a throat infection from a lady in the office too!!!!



I have not had any energy to make anything so i am blogging some pics that i have not gotten around to blog!
Dreaded Christmas Cards!!!



This one was made with, Qk present die, sizzlits phrase die, and QK embossing folder



These trees were from hobbycraft, they are made of wood with cute spots on them!



The scallops the trees are on are nestabilities die cuts...



These scallops and snowflakes were cut on the cricut, i think the nowflakes are from accent essentials



A little added bling...



More QK...



Hope you liked them

A quick update to my last post!


I have emailed them back the following email...

Hi xxxxx,

Thank you for getting back to me



I had experienced this problem with dies that have a crease as i do cut a lot of card blanks and boxes! I thought it was me doing something wrong or that maybe there was a fault with the roller hence me asking about rollers. I have only done around 50 cuts with the machine as it leaves me frustrated!!


I don't kow if you can ell from my orders but I do have a xxxx already. I purchased the **** thinking it would be quicker and easier to use, i do struggle at times with the handle on the xxxx machine due to poor wrists. I find the roller action a lot easier than the pushing down action.


Are there any future plans to exchange the **** for another roller machine at all as this is really what i need as it is easier on my wrists?


I do not mind paying the difference between 2 machines but do feel a little frustrated to think i may be left with a machine that is hard to use and a machine that does not really live up to the expectations.


I am also a little frustrated that yyyy did not contact owners of this machine to advise of the problems with the machine and advise that thery were working on a solution


I have a blog which i post on a lot about die cutting and heve been asked several times to review the **** for my readers, but have been hesitant to do this as i am a huge fan of yyyy and love your products but felt the machine fell just short of the mark which is a huge shame as i would love to reccomend it to people.


If you could let me know what other options are available to be i would be very happy, these large macines are a huge investment.


Thank you
Lisa

In reponse to this email i had this reply the following day...

Hi Lisa,

The only other machine I can suggest to you would be our PPPP which is due to be released in November. This is also a Roller Machine and combines both the Sizzix and Prestige dies. It has a 13” base so can also be used with larger dies.

This machine will be priced at roughly £250.00.

Of course I will have to check with my supervisor before agreeing to swap the machine as I unfortunately don’t have the authority to allow this.

I will be forwarding your emails to my supervisor and will keep you updated on all decisions.

Please let me know if I can help you any further in the mean time.

Kind regards,


So i am trying to stay positive and hoping that my fave company will come through for me!!!

Will keep you updated
