SLICE FABRIQUE FUN!

Those who know me know that I am not one for buying wrapping paper, bags, or cards if I can't get them on sale. So.....I am also known for reusing.

I needed something to put a baby gift in (once again the cheapness in me wins out)....I found this old brown bag.....

Got my slice fabrique out with the card for babies...(looks like I need to add to my card stock different colors, but I just made do with what I had).

and well.....instead of glueing the die cuts on the bag, I just glued them on the ribbon. I thought this added a sepcial touch and took away from the old brown bag look.



For the back, I just did simple with a little message on the heart.....go ahead...call me cheap...I have been called worse.



Not much in the creative front, been visiting old friends and having company.....but I did manage to get this little tote done up for another new young woman.



if you want more information about the slice or slice fabrique go here No...this is not a paid advertisment.....just a new toy and I like to share the fun!

SLICE FABRIQUE

Here is my Mother's Day gift to me...

I have been searching and searching for a good buy and finally I was able to get this half off at Joann's online.
Here is the glass cutting mat, with the sponge and adhesive.

Here is the fabric with fusible on the back, adhered to the cutting mat.

Here are cut outs from card stock.

Here are the cut outs from Fabrics.

I know that all of you would expect nothing but honesty from me so here goes.

I love the slice for all of the versatility it holds. The design cards have so many options in one card. I really like that. You can also chose the size up to 4 inches. I like that.

I think it is fabulous for scrapbookers.

If you like to do applique, it is great for you as well....

But......

I don't like the fact that you have to use adhesive to cut fabric. You have to keep it in stock so you can cut when you want. You also have to clean the glass between each cutting. You have to keep your hands on the machine while cutting. I thought you would be able to start the machine and leave....not so. You have to make sure the adhesive is dry before you cut or you get a mess.

This is great for those that have arthritis. You do get all the alphabets of any size or shape you want.

I will say that I do like the slice and think I will enjoy using it. I am so excited about all of the possibilities it holds. Will this take the place of my Go cutter....not a chance....
