HELLO THERE!

Well hello my cuttin' friends! Yes, I know I have not posted anything in a year, but  I am back and ready to start all over.

This time, I am going to do things a little differently. I am going to make simple video tutorials to help crafters learn more about digital cutters and cut files. I plan to start out really basic and break the information up in small manageable chunks. 

I know most of you already know quite a bit about this. It would really help me out if you could follow along with the short simple videos to let me know if I left any thing out and check my facts. Since I do not have all the different types of cutting machines, it would help to have contacts that could tell me about the specific functions on the various brands.

In return I will be offering free cut files for you. :) 

You can download the "hello" caption and shadow cut files here; Hello Hello CUWC 

Thanks for your support. Hope to "talk" to you later. LOL

Stamp2Cut from Tim Holtz

I have decided to start posting content that electric cutter users will find interesting. There are a lot of changes going on right now involving cutters and SVG's. I will try to highlight some of these situations so we can all keep up with them.

I might even through in a free cut file every now and then...LOL

Anyone have a Sizzix E-clips? Tim Holtz just made a video about his new cartridges that go along with his stamps the line is called Stamp2cut. He is introducing it at CHA and it should start shipping in March.

 I know, I am disappointed that is a cartridge based system. Look at it this way, if Tim Holtz is starting to include electric cutters in his craft line, then other companies are sure to follow suit in the future.

You can take a look at his blog post here and see the video:

Sizzix is also offering a version of SCAL to work with the Eclips. It is called ECAL.
