Sizzix

Hi I'm new to the group, and am just getting familiar with how it works. I'm a scrapbooker (of course :-) Anyway, I think if you go to any large local Scrapbook store, they will have several different machines there, and they'll be happy to demonstrate them for you. Who knows, maybe you'll even decide to buy one and practice with it :-)

Hey there..I love using the sizzix. It's really easy to use. I agree with the poster above, if you have a local scrapbook store, try it there. They will help you figure it out. The main thing I try to remember is to have the cardstock/paper cut down to fit the sizzix. It's a lot of fun and there's so much you can create with it..Hope you have fun learning.

Hi Yanya,

Sizzix is very easy to use. Think of a very large hole punch. You cut the paper down to size (5x7) put it on the white board, put the die on top (black side down) and slide it under the large bar under the arm. Slide the white piece, paper, die under and then push the arm down then up and then slide the "sandwich" back out. Unless you are using a large die then you will have to slide it down twice to cut it fully.

Take the die off and pick up the paper and whalla you have a die cut.

Which AC Moore does your sister work for?

Hello to you all,

I am new to the group. Unfortunately I don't know nothing about scrapbooking (except that I love it ) but I can help you on this one: there is a demo on the website. Here is the link:

Welcome to the group, gwr. You're right, most of the stores I've been to will have either the Sizzix or the QuickKuts available for use. It's one way for them to sell their products. Plus it's a service that brings many shoppers back into their store. I've gone in several times to use their dies rather than buy one I know I won't get enough use out of to make it feasible to buy.

Thank you... I think that I will enjoy it to.. Yanya

When do you get to teach the class? Have you decided what to do?

Amanda

Well this weekend I am going to a demo at the store to get a feel of the store and try to get people to come to my class. I probably won't start teaching until the 2nd weekend of March.. I have not decided what I am going to do yet. I am excited but nervous at the same time, Yanya

I hope your class went great.
