The birthday surprise was a surprise for both of us….Far Guy had no idea what thoughtful gift he was going to come up with…he was starting to panic. I have to admit I might have enjoyed his panic just a tad. He was so busy last week my birthday was the last thing on his mind.
Our daughter Jen showed up with a new machine that she had purchased…Far Guy then offered to purchase it from her… for me!
It is a fancy smancy die cutter.
No more hand cranking a die machine…this one has a motor and grabs the sandwitched die and the paper comes out perfect.
For our Christmas Cards this year I wanted a fancy die cut piece of paper to surround a stamped image.
The machine does a marvelous job…this is a very intricate cutout…many tiny pieces of paper fall out all over! If they don’t fall out then they are poked out.
It is a wonderful Birthday surprise! Far Guy was off the hook…I was happy…and Jen can borrow it when ever she wants. It was a win win win situation.
Far Guy out did himself this year. Way to Go Far Guy!!
ReplyDeleteThat is a great machine. The cutouts are gorgeous. I can't wait to see some of the cards you design. Now I've added it to my wish list.

ReplyDeleteLOVE it!!!
ReplyDeleteYAY! Perfect!
ReplyDeleteGlad your birthday surprise fell in to Far Guy's lap like that, and you're so pleased with it.
ReplyDeleteYes! No more hand cranking!! I got the Vagabond. Still have to press a button, but can do larger pieces. You don't even have to hold a button down--whoohoo! These new intricate dies they have now are just so beautiful and amazing. You will love that little machine!! :) I wouldn't doubt Jen might still want her own. ;)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful gift! You really needed that gadget fo all the cards you make.
ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect gift. And your intricate design is going to be a beautiful frame for your cards. He did good!! Happy birthday!
