As you can see from my recent Youtube video, I got a Vagabond the other day and I thought about the different sandwiches that would be needed for different dies. So far I had only used my Alterations dies in it but I got to thinking about all my lovely nestabilities sitting in the cd cases and got them out. I started with just the standard sandwich, knowing it wouldn't work, but trying to get an idea of where to go. Then I added an Alterations Die and that made the sandwich too tall. I also tried my Spellbinders embossing pads and that wasn't thick enough and sort of warped my pads but they went back to normal, thank goodness. After that, I tried the regular sandwich with the two small cutting pads on top of the top cutting pad and tried to zip it through. Well, it did NOT zip through. It made a LOUD cracking noise and I thought that I had broken one of my cutting pads AND broken my Vagabond for a minute or so. All was good though, the cutting pads were fine although there is an indention of the Spellbinder on my cutting pad now. My husband was sure that I had broken the Vagabond, but I tested it out right away and it is working just fine. Whew!! =)
So, I just wanted to warn anyone who may be wondering if you can use nestabilities in your Vagabond that you CANNOT! =) I hope this saves someone from a very scary situation.
Keep Subscribing!!! Gift-Away after first 50 subscribers!!
I got a new toy this week and wanted to share the unveiling with you...
I plan on making many things with this item and sharing them with all of you in
the coming year.
With the many wonderful Tim Holtz Sizzix Alterations dies, the projects will be limited only to
the imagination contained in our minds.
I hope you will join me on my journey with Tim and his wonderful products.
Welcome to the Distressed Crafter.
I am in LOVE with this machine!!!
It is so versatile! I can't wait to try my Texture Fades in it and try out more of the great Alterations dies as well as my regular old sizzix and cuttlebug dies. It is pretty compact and doesn't really need a dedicated space in a craft area. You can store it away and pull it out only when you need it! Great for crafters with small creating spaces.
I am moving next month so I hope to be able to keep up with my blog posts, but they may be a little slow for awhile. I have a lot of things to do to prepare for the move, but my craft room is so much bigger and I can't wait to get into it and decorate it. I want it to be a room that I feel comfortable and find tons of inspiration in. I can't wait to show you videos when I finally get it set up too! Stay tuned!
In the meantime, don't forget to subscribe to my Blog and my Youtube Channel, LaceAndMetal. I will be having a Gift-Away for both when I get 50 subscribers. In other words, after I get 50 subscribers in my blog I will have a gift-away for it and when I get 50 for my Youtube Channel I will have one for it.
I hope the rest of your holiday season is bright and happy and your New Year Shines Bright!
