I dont know if you have been told, but you are able to use all dies in the big shot :) meaning you are able to use sizzix originals, bigz and folders, Cuttlebug (CB)'s smaller dies, other dies and folders, Spellbinders (nestabilities tend to be expensive but are 6 different sizes in a pack and make layering easier!) and there is also a new brand of folder (cant remember the name but your LSS will probably have them) that are really cheap (mine sells them for $5 but have seen them up to about $9). Sorry for the long post but I hopw it helped! |
Hello and welcome from Maryland
|
Elisha thnak you for the post it was much appreciated -i am not a stamper just a digigirl who loves to make her own cards. saw the diecutter&embosser i was hooked-
yes i have been told and read about using the other dies.the name you are trying to remember is Craft Concepts i got 1 from a LSS in Brisbane- when you say a heap how many are you talking about will definitely check out your suggestions- re spelbinders i would love to get them to i have told my husband i want to go to the Brisbane craft show in october so i can see everything plus pick up some of the heavier items such as cutting pads off to check out links supplied thanks again |
Elisha- i have just brought a OMC exclusive christmas set from them how long before they should arrive? any idea
i hit the pay button to quick :(i should have brought some more to fill out the envelope apparently we can get 8 in 1 envelope to Australia |
I usually get packages from 1-3 weeks from the Us but you may not need to wait so long as you are closer to the US than me lol. Why not email them and see if you can add on?
|
Elisha thanks for the suggestion i might do that or just make up a new envelope with cheaper products knowing i can get 8 in a package- the other question do you use the $6.00 mail option if so any problems with it ? i saw some real cheap stuff that is also what i was looking to buy
|
I just use anyone that registered in it Im just paranoid lol

Hello I'm a queenslander too!
Hi I'm from far north Queensland, this is the first time I'm writing in. I joined Stampin' Up! in March this year and was introduced to SCS via my team leader...this is such a great site with loads of inspiration.
oops this is supposed to be the introduction....I am an older mum of four children, 16,14,12 and nearly 9. I love being creative, tho spend more time being inspired by everyone else than actually being creative. I just have to make time to sit and make then share... c u soon:D |
Well welcome to you! :) Enjoy yourself and let me know if I can help you with anything!
|
WELCOME to SCS! Looks like you have had an interesting welcome.
Enjoy the inspiration and all the great stores to buy from. This is a wonderful place to be challenged and to learn from...and of course to meet friends that love to do what you do! Be sure to check out the challenges and VSN and VSBN (during VSBN there will be something for digi scrappers). |
Welcome I am also a Queenslander from Brisbane. I am recently new to this site too and finding lots to look at.
|
thank you for all the welcome and glad to meet some more Aussie are any of the Brisbane girls going to the Craft Show at Southbank this month? i am nearly bursting with the excitement we are leaving home about 7 am that morning to catch at train to the show

a big hello from North Eastern Victoria here:)
|
well i got 3 Martha Stewart Christmas punches large size for $60 instead of $105 plus i had a $10 voucher from the shop so i only paid $50 - i got my first set of Nestabilities Labels :pcant remember the number- got some ink mini cubes to add to the edges of my christmas cards- got 2 new Cuttlebug embossing folders &a craft concepts for about $20- 2 of them i was really wanting to get couldnt believe the price so i got them. i saw some demonstrations at counters that were interesting - cant wait for the next craft show to hit Brisbane i think it will be a papercraft i will be going to that i should have saved some money by then .
there were heaps of things on sale could have melted my husbands credit cards :) QUOTE=Misstreez;17484186]Glad you enjoyed the show. I had intentions of going but ended up not going. So what did you see that excited you?[/QUOTE] |
H i Cath i am a ex Victorian girl have lived in Queensland since 1982:)
|
Lisha my 2nd parcel arrived today i am so stoked i was getting worried wether it would ever arrive-so no more spending now till next craft show -
|
Sounds like you got yourself some great bargains. You'll have to keep us informed about the next show.
|
Yes i will let you know - i couldnt believe the price of the Punches especially the Christmas ones they are gorgeous.i was talking to a sales person at photocontinental & she said the Show in june is the biggest one
|
I was in photo continental a couple of months ago buying some paper. They've got such an extensive selection of all sorts of things, but I mostly get a bit overwhelmed by it all. At the time I knew exactly what I was after so I stayed focused on my shopping task. I've never been to the papercarfting show before. Bet it would be great!
|
Theresa i know what you mean Photocontinental is so big i was overwhelmed to. it was much better at the show everything was close together.the show on saturday was Quilt& Craft Show - the lady i spoke to on monday said Photocontinental goes to all the craft show- it was fabulous i came home after i had exhausted my budget:( i could have stayed for another 2 hours just looking at everything:)
