Tuesday with Tara {take 63}


Happy Tuesday!  Hope you’ve had a great week and enjoyed a bit of cooler weather wherever you are!  I was inspired by a full sheet of pretty watercolor paper I had sitting on my desk (another project with Colorburst that took a turn I wasn’t expecting… so was set aside for another day!) and it looked like autumn to me, in shades of red, orange & yellow!  I paired it with this large swirl die by Tim Holtz- love it!  The die was cut from my card front and the background paper cut slightly smaller than my card front & carefully adhered to the inside using Matte Multi Medium.

For a focal image, I decided to use a Prima doll, whose dress was paper pieced from the same watercolor background paper, with the addition of some leaves stamped on it in coral ink. The same leaves were stamped around the swirl cut outs on the card front.

A few details that finish off my card include simple sentiment stickers along the bottom of the card and a bit of bling and lace added to the dress. The finished card is pretty simple, but I gotta admit it didn’t come together terribly quick & easy. It wouldn’t take long to duplicate though 🙂

sending inky hugs your way…

JUST ARRIVED: Tim Holtz Vagabond Die Cutting and Embossing Machine

We just received our first shipment of the new Tim Holtz Vagabond machine that he designed for Sizzix and it is so cool! It looks just like an old fashioned suitcase when it is all closed up and they even give you stickers for the outside that look like vintage travel decals – very neat.

But this machine does a lot more than just look good – it’s a powerful electric die cutting and embossing machine that can do everything that the Big Shot does with just the push of a button. And it handles a wide range of materials effortlessly.

Here is a pic of the machine when it’s open.

There are a few features that we wanted to point out to you that we thought were really important…

– you can use all your favorite dies and embossing folders with this machine like those from Sizzix, Cuttlebug, BossKut, Spellbinders, Crafts Too, Joy Crafts and Quickutz.

– for the thin dies like Spellbinders, Joy Crafts and BossKut you will need to buy a Sizzix Big Shot Extended Adapter. All the other pads and plates are included.

– you can run things through the machine in either direction just by flipping a switch on top.

– side rails hold the platform and plates in place so your sandwiches stay lined up.

– the power cord stores in it’s own compartment on the side of the machine so it is always handy.

– it’s quiet so you don’t have to worry about waking everyone up when you are crafting in the middle of the night. LOL!

Want to see it in action? Then check out this video where Tim demos it…

We have been putting one through it’s paces and just love it! It has lots of power and if you do lots of die cutting and embossing or have trouble using the other machines because of arthritis (or in my case a recently broken wrist) then this is just the ticket. We all liked how it took up less space when it was folded up and that it looks like a part of the decor. It’s a bit heavier than the Big Shot (around 15 lbs) but still portable if you want to take it to a friends house or a crop.

All in all, the Vagabond got top marks from everyone here that used it. Another great product in the Tim Holtz line from Sizzix.
