Using QUICKUTZ REVOLUTION IN THE SIZZIX

Quickutz - Revolution - Tabletop Die Cutting System

When the Revolution came out, I had to have it...but waited on buying the machine. Instead I took advantage of the discounts I found if you got the new dies. I got them and yeah, they seemed like fun. I knew Sizzix makes the Sizzix adapter for Quickutz 2x2 dies. I tried using a couple of them with no success. So then I was thinking about what I had that was that size and width. Well I had a box of old Tupperware out in the garage and the width of lid would be perfect. I used a box cutter and made myself a "kind of" square. It works perfectly. So I saved myself $149.99. I really didn't have the room for another diecut machine.

Bridal Shower card for Mindy

Here is my card I made for Mindy's Bridal shower. The PP is Luxe "Classic Black" collection. The pink CS is Watermelon from CTMH. The ribbon is from DCWV "Uptown" For the flower I used a chipboard flower I was giving in a swap. I took some Magnolia White paint from Delta and put 2 sprays of Glimmer Mist "Pink INK" and mixed them together. After it dried completely, sprayed the Glimmer Mist on it. It was such a fun look with the hint of pink underneath the glimmer. The pink button was from my button stash. I decided to put her name on the front to personalize it a bit more. It was just a pink jelly roll pen I had. I also inked the edges with some more glimmer mist that I sprayed on my little paint tray and ran the paper through.



On the back of the card, I used up the rest of my mixed paint and put some strokes of that. Then I of course, used the Glimmer Mist again. It is soo fun. I think that I need every color!!!

National Scrapbook Day

We were planning on doing some scrapbooking all day...but it was soo nice we only played in the room for a little bit. We had our shirts on. SHane took this picture for us. He is only 4, so that is what the blurry-ness is all about. I like this pic the best. The other ones didn't turn out so great. I did get to go to Khristi's on Friday to play over there. We were planning on fun little kits to swap. I didn't think everyone was going to be there, so I didn't make mine up. Khristi and Katie did though. Khristi gave fun little cigar boxes and Katie brought over her awesome new card making kit. You can check it out here. The papers are soo much cuter than they look in the pic. She has gotten me totally into the Bella stamps.
