Sizzix Big Cut machine for sale

Hi guys,
Due to the fact that I have just started a two-year university course and haven't got time for crafting, I am selling my Sizzix Big Cut machine. It has been used a few times but is in good working order, and so is the cutting mat - even though the latter does show signs of use (please see photos below).
The price is £40 + £10 for P&P, or you could pick it up in person if you leave near Rye, East Sussex.
The machine will come in its original box with instructions and all the necessary accessories like cutting mats.


I will accept payment by cheque or PayPal and will send the items within 2 working days of receiving the payment.

Please leave a comment here if you're interested.








Thanks for stopping by!

Hi guys! Hope you are all well. I just thought I need to write this in case you think I am dead.
I am, in fact, very much alive - more alive than in the last few years, actually!
The reason I am no longer an active participant of the crafting scene is that I am now a student, and studies are taking a lot of my time... And when I say "a lot", I mean that I am finding it hard to get enough sleep and keep in touch with the family.
What am I studying? Graphic design. Well, the official name of the course is Graphic Communication, but essentially, it's the same thing.
And I am loving it. Really, really am. The people are just great, the projects are interesting and challenging enough, the building and facilities are state-of-the-art, and I am finally doing what I enjoy the most.
So if you need me, look in the library... :)

Take care!

Surprise, surprise!

Hey guys! I bet you've already forgotten all about me, but I'm still alive and actually quite well - hope you are, too! :)

Slightly scary treat :)

Hu guys, hope you're having a great weekend. I'm still getting over this stupid cold which I have by now successfully passed on to my husband :(
And here is a little gift I've made for a friend who loves liquorice. The label reads "Just for you", and I was even going to add "...because no one else would want this!"





I used a Quickutz nesting label die, DCWV paper, Papermania vinyl sticker, Doodlebug mini rub-ons, PM Alphamini stickers and a PM brush marker.
Hope she likes it!

Have fun

Hi there!
Here's an unbearably pink acetate card I've made using the free cupcake stamp from one of the recent issues of 'Creativity!'. If you know me, you'll know my attitude to the colour pink, but as you can see, I'm trying to be more tolerant :)

Acetate: Papermania.
Paper and card stock: K&Co, Bazzill.
Inks and markers: Colorbox, Whispers.
Alphabet stickers: Papermania AlphaMinis.
Dies: Quickutz Cookie Cutter - Nesting Flowers.

Take care!

And now we're gonna have some curry and watch The Mighty Boosh, woohoo! Perfect night in.

Thank you

Hi there! Hope you are all having a lovely weekend, especially those of you who are celebrating Mother's day.

Today, I couldn't get up for ages, because the dream I was having was so good... I dreamt of having a cat.
I never thought it could be so hard to find a kitten, but here in the UK it seems to be a real problem! All you can get is either pedigree kittens or grown-up cats. And all the kittens are neutered! My goodness, can't I just get a Heinz 57-type female kitten that will be capable of childbirth in the future? And for less than 50 quid? Honestly, back in Russia my cat had 16 kittens in total (4 kittens times 4), and we gave them all away for free, and never had a problem finding families who wanted one!
This just makes me sad.

Anyway, here is a card I made yesterday. Hope you like!





I used a blue DL Papermania card blank, Core'dinations card stock from the Chocolate Box pack, DCWV and MME paper, Papermania ribbon, Papermania swirl stamp, Prima flowers and with a PM brad and a couple of flower-shaped buttons, an X-Cut scallop border punch, and a computer-generated greeting printed onto Bazzill Kraft card.

Take care!

Victoria & Albert card

Hi guys! Things are not going well for me employment-wise, but I know I'll get there soon.
Instead of sharing my concerns, I'll share a card I've made quite recently, using the beautiful new Victoria and Albert collection.





I used Victoria & Albert paper and stamp and a free greeting stamp from the 'Creativity!' magazine. I also used some mosaic gems and Anita's ribbon.

That's it for now... Take care!

Feeling blue

This February has been a difficult month for me, so here is a card that matches my mood.
I used Papermania vinyl stickers, Anita`s die-cut tag, Bazzill card stock and some blue argyll-patterned paper. The stalks and leaves were drawn with a black gel pen.





Take care!

Quick and simple

This card takes literally minutes to put together. It's kind of unisex and can also be used for many different occasions.





The die-cut branch is by Basic Grey, and the stamp came free with `Creativity!`. Can`t remember where I got that blue paper - sorry!

All you need is...

Oh boy, I didn't realise it's been so long since I last posted a card here! Well, here's one of the recent ones.
I'll probably use it as a wedding anniversary card for my friends who are as much into The Beatles as I am. The doodles on the heart shape were drawn with a white gel pen.



Credits:
K&Co: paper.
Papermania: handmade paper, eyelets, gem brad, small flower, Alphaminis stickers.
Doodlebug: mini rub-ons.
Bazzill: Kraft card stock.
Prima: paper flowers.

Thanks for stopping by!

A card for a music fanatic

You may or may not know that my husband is really into music, and so am I; in fact, we met through a common interest in a band called Radiohead.
Hope this foreword makes this card less puzzling :) I made it for his birthday a few days ago.





I used a white gel pen, as well as Bazzill card stock in Kraft and black.
Hope you like!
