new Tim Holtz Alterations dies

 

Hi everyone!   I've had a bit of a quiet week but one of the products I've been looking forward to most since the big winter CHA show is the new Tim Holtz sizziz dies and embossing products! Today I wanted to hear from you!

Who out there has gotten one or has it on their wish list ?  I've heard from two of my readers that these dies will work with the Cuttlebug, remember to use them face down (cutting side edge/with the foam downwards).  I had tried to sizzix dies with both the cuttlebug and the big shot a while back ago.  I originally had problems using the sizzix steel ruled dies (original and bigz) in the cuttlebug cutting side up (and ended up cracking a plate) but figured out that if I change them face down they work just fine.   (I do also recommend keeping an extra set of "b" plated on hand - or upgrading to the Big Shot - I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE mine!)http://bellacarta.typepad.com/rebecca/2008/08/it-works-it-wor.html

Tim Holtz's website notes that these *will* work with Cuttlebug, as well as Sizzix BigKick, Big Shot, and Quickcutz Epic.

So ... I have my TH dies on order .... I can't wait to play with them!   I really had a hard time choosing, I wanted them ALL!   Some of my favs were the tattered florals, hanging sign, the gears .....

Please let me know if you love these, hate 'em, where they're available (I don't think all stores have received them yet) and who you think has the best price!

OK I received one of his dies so far... and I haven't had a chance to use it!!! I do want to get a few more but I may have to wait since I just got his new distress inks!

I buy my stuff at http://www.scrap-mart.com/ . I 'met' them at one of the conventions and they are awesome! I love you can get free shipping and they are really fast!

Hi, I have the hanging sign die and the flowers and I have used them in my cuttlebug. They work just fine. I am having lots of fun playing with them. I highly recommend them.

Hi Rebecca. How are you? You were my shopping buddy at the CHA Supershow last summer. Are you going to Chicago?

I buy all my sizzix dies at www.itscheaperthantherapy.com as Maria is awesome to work with. Of course, I have the opportunity to shop at their brick and mortar store as it is in Denver. Sizzix dies are always 30% off retail, I think.

Haven't had a chance to get any of the new Tim Holtz dies yet as I've been spending my money on Papertrey's new releases.

Have a great weekend.
