Was it really that difficult for the average person without medical issues to hold it in place? Just curious. I just ordered a blue one recently since it was on sale.
It didn't used to be. But over Christmas I had a TERRIBLE pinched nerve in my back that lasted forEVER. The chiropractor has told me that certain positions and activities will bring it back, and I'm not taking any chances. I'm getting the hands off system!
I am glad the pink one from Craft-E-Corner worked with the 10% off. I've ordered from them a couple of time and had fast shipping, no complaints from me about them.
My slice is stuck in the snow/ice storm and delivery is rescheduled for Monday, I hope it doesn't get rescheduled again.
Craft-E-Corner is have a Valentines sale starting Monday for 10 (?) days, the Slice is on sale for 33% off, $99.99 w/free shipping always on her website.
I swear I don't work there or anything, but I do shop with them and that's an awesome deal.
If I had known, I would not have ordered the package deal that I did.

I have tiny hands, for example I can reach all the way down into a Pringle can. I didn't think the Slice was hard to hold at all. My cat held it down too. She did a great job.
A month back I had to do several cuts over and over again. It was a little over a dozen cuts. By the time I got done my hands hurt.
If you were going to use this machine to make invitations then the new hands free mat would be something to think about.

I am so excited!!! My Slice was just delivered to my door!!! Doing the happy dance))
It wasn't supposed to arrive until Monday and I was surprised to get any mail today as it has been snowing since around 7am this morning here in Virginia. Just plugged that baby in and now I have to wait until it charges so that I can play. I will let you know what I think!
Has anyone seen a 3d box made out of some of the slice frames. I saw an old photo on a blog that refrenced a challenge slice blog that no longer exist. It looked like top note (no other way to describe) die somehow put together to form a box.
Personally, I think she created a square for the top, cut 4 of those 'top note' type images, and adhered them around each edge of the square she cut for the lid, underneath. Looks like she cut circles for the corners, to bring it all together.
Hey all, haven't been around for a bit. Anyway, I bought my slice from someone and it's a G6 and since I wasn't the original purchaser and I don't have the original receipt for the warranty, I've decided to buy a new slice and this is the best part, have decided to give the old machine away to a needy person. They are only getting the machine and power cord and the small glass mat, nothing else, but they can easily buy the blades et al at one of the hobby stores. Please PM me with someone you think would qualify as a needy person. I want someone who can't afford to buy the machine. I will take names until February 15th and then will put the names in a jar or something and have Matthew pick one. Again, it will be the machine, cord, and glass mat. They will have to buy the blades and blade changer and glue. I will also include the spatula since it comes with the other machine also. Now the machine is working fine, but I want an original receipt if something goes wrong. Anyway, send me the names of your friends or family and why they are needy. Thanks. Truly, I bought the machine originally from the person I bought it from because of the cards. Oh btw, it will come with the new basic shapes card too. Forgot about that, so they will have something to cut. I just put a new blade in it and haven't touched it since. Haven't had the chance.
My pink slice is on order...I probably wont get it til my birthday (2/17) so not far away. I have found some GREAT deals on the design cards on Ebay...I already have a stack of cards...but cant use them with out the machine...lol Anyway, I have gotten three cards for less than $20 each and shipping was free or $2.00. They were all brand new in package so I am pleased. I will be getting the hands free and all the pink accessories as soon as they are available. I have a sweet friend who gets them all for me at wholesale...she is like a sister. Cant wait to be able to speak on the machine like you seasoned slicers.....blessings.

I just ordered Just Chillin from ebay for $15 + $3 shipping!! Thanks for enabling Amber!! I am going to be in SO much trouble if I don't step away from the computer, lol!! New toys are dangerous in my hands!! There are so many cute design cards and my list keeps growing!!
I got Basics 2 for 12.00 and Sports for 15.00 Even with a ridiculous shipping charge, they were still cheaper than the local stores or anywhere else I found on-line.
UPS has my Slice "out for delivery", it's 4:40 p.m. here, now where is it !!!
I bet I'm the last delivery of the day today
I also went to our local Tuesday Morning and got a bunch of packages of MM paper for 1.99 for each packet. I"m think they had 25 sheets in each one. Practice paper lol

You got a great deal Cyndi! I will have to check out our local Tuesday Morning, but last time I looked at the one here, they didn't have ANYTHING! I hope they have delivered your sweet little package! Happy crafting!!
OK my slice arrives tomorrow. How do I prep the glass. I read you can use a spray. How do I apply it and how long does it take to work. Can't wait til next month to get the hands free.
I had to ship my Slice back to Making Memories today. It was having some major issues that the "first" release ones were known for. They said they'd fix it or replace it. Their customer service was AMAZING! I cant wait to get mine back!!!

Get a can of repositionable spray. Cover your mat with a light coat and get to work!
The spray you can spray and honestly use 2 min after. If you put the paper on RIGHT away, you end up having a very sticky die cut and scrap paper. Spray it on outside? or somewhere that you can protect the area around it ( plastic table cloth just for this purpose...) just make sure you dont̕ try to spray it from too close!
Its not to hard to get the hang of!
I am excited for you.
I bought the Craft Keeper from Michaels. It's a plastic 12x12 envelope, for lack of a better work that has a flap that closes.
Mine came with a tube of glue and a sponge brush. It has instructions on how to apply. It was VERY VERY EASY.
Just squeeze a line of glue across the glass mat and use the brush to coat it. Only took mine about 2 minutes to dry. There is enough glue for several applications. Once the glass loses it tackiness, clean with water and reapply.

I use the adhesive that comes with the Slice (I got a large tube as a gift) it's really easy to use, just run a line along the edge of your glass mat and spread an even coat over the entire thing. Let it sit for a few minutes and you're good to go. Wash your mat with dawn and warm water when the adhesive gets nasty and do it again. I also saw that they are coming out with a spray adhesive for the Slice and a hands free mat!! YAHOO!
Well, after a minor mishap lol, I've been playing with my new toy. There are paper hearts and flowers all over the place. When I got ready to "prep" the mat with glue, the glue in the tube was solidified and nothing came out but a few drops of what looked like water.
I'm about 15 miles from the nearest Wally World, HL or Michaels so that necessitated a trip to town for spray on glue. What a shame, an unplanned trip to HL I managed to get a few other goodies while I was there.
Other than a too heavy application of glue the first spray, it works like a charm. I dabbed a bit with a paper towel and got the glue less sticky. I would spray a little less next time and let it sit for a couple of minutes longer. I'm thinking I used it to soon.
a light coat of spray dries very, very quickly. By the time I spray at one end of the house and get back to my craft room, it's usually dry. The tube of glue drying up is a known problem, which is why they are coming out with the repositionable spray. That spray can also be found at home improvement stores, I think, in the general adhesives section.
oh man oh man..you ladies are killing me....where is my little pink beauty...I cant wait to get all the pink accessories...you know we crafters love matchy matchy stuff.
Love reading here so when mine comes it will be easier to learn...

We're gonna have to start a Slice Addicts Anonymous. *chuckle*
You're gonna have serious wicked fun, Amber. I still can't believe I resisted it for so long, now that I see how much I use it. *forehead smack*

LOL well Amber, while you wait there's some good buys on E-Bay. The Sports, Animal Crackers and Just Chillin design cards are all on the buy it now and under $20 for each of them even with shipping. The design storage case is on there for under $20 as well but not in the pink.
Although I want some of the newer design cards, I'll have to wait for the prices to come down a little or hope for a Valentines gift from the hubby or a good sale on them. HL and Michaels rarely put them on sale though.
Nevertheless, it's been nice to get a few cards really quick and cheap to get me started!

Another obsession/addiction, that is all I need, lol!! But oh man, how FUN is this little machine???? I can't wait for my new cartridges to arrive!! And thanks to everyone for enabling me, especially with ebay! I needed the spatula and AC Moore actually let me use a coupon for it! I didn't think they took coupons for any Slice products, but maybe it is just the Slice machine.
I got my pink slice today...I'm so excited! But all I can do is just look at it. In process of a scraproom makeover. Mixed feelings about that. Love the makeover but I have to wait to use my slice.
Also the Think Pink card is wonderful. The font is really nice. I can see me using that card many times.
