My Pal (Blog Candy)

Here's another adorable stamp that my husband bought me from Simply Betty Stamps for Christmas. I used a wonderful Spellbinders die to cut this out in a fun shape. Isn't she adorable? This would make a great banner if I cut out several of them and decorated it across a room.
If it is still tuesday, then you have time to sign up for the blog candy on saturday and sunday!! Quick before I announce the winners. Now for today's question, what's your favorite die cut/cutting system? WINNER Announced, SEE THE FEB 1ST POSTING!!

Project Materials: Cardstock (Bazzill); Rubber Stamp (Simply Betty Stamps); Ink (Memento, Colorbox Chalk); DieCut (Spellbinders Nestabilities); Bling (Prima); Ribbon (Prima); Brads (Making Memories); Adhesives (Glue Dots); Color (Copic Markers);

    That stamp is totally adorable. I love the Spellbinder shape, so cute. My favorite die cutting machine (if it counts) is the Cricut...just recently discovered. All you do is punch in your work and sit back and let the machine do the cutting. Other then that I would go with Cuttlebug cause its the only one I know.
    Hugs, Rosalee

    She's adorable and fave cutting system I think would be Tim Holtz vagabond cutting system - it's on my wish list and die would be a magnolia doo-hickey her tree :)
    thanks for the chance

    what a great pennant card.
    my favorite die/cutting system --- I use the big kick machine with sizzix dies and nestabilities dies. they both make my stamping endevours so easy.

    Lovely image Holley. I love spellbinders, but I have bigshot, so use shims to cut with them. I am saving for a grand calibur :)

    Really cute card Holley- would definitely look great all across a room.
    I love Spellbinders and Memory Box dies. At the moment I use my Wizard to cut them, but have just bought a Vagabond- though not had a chance to play with it yet!!

    Such a cute image! Did you make this a cone to hold small gifts? I think your husband knows your taste pretty well to have picked this out for you. My favorite dies are spellbinders, but I'm quickly becoming a fan of Cherry Lynn Designs. My cutting system is a cuttlebug - had it forever and it works like a charm!

    She's very cute and I like the unusual shape. I use the Grand Calibur and have so many dies I like it's hard to pick a favorite, but I'll go with Labels 4. I use that one a lot.

  40. THERESAFebruary 8, 2012 at 8:52 AM

    You are so right, she is cute!! The die cut is stunning and a banner would look so good. When the coloring is done perfect, one does not need a lot of embellies and this is just one of those, the image is centre stage, love it!!
    RE: don't have any machines, lol, sorry about that one, have to hand cut.....hehehe
    lotsa luv

    Very cute! My favorite is the Big Shot simply because it is the one I have. However I have that Vagabond on my wish list (for many years now) and it is the one I would love to try. Now if it will become my favorite, I am not sure but right now it is Big Shot.
    I am not sure if you are including cutting systems that do not use dies. If you are then I would say my Cricut. I have a few cartridges and love that it cuts it all out for me and no cranking or anything. Just a touch of a button.
