Thanks for enabling!!!
 

That's great, Terri. You got some wonderful basic tools and your cards will show it, I know.

If you need any more enabling, I would really recommend getting more scallop nesties. I started with all the scallop shapes, and used a plastic template for a while to trace and handcut my inner circles and ovals. Of course, you can just cut a square with your paper cutter, also.

Eventually I got the plain shapes, but the scallops seemed to make sense to me because I couldn't duplicate them any other way except with an expensive punch.

I wavered back and forth between the plain rectangles and the scallops, but decided on the plains FIRST, because I just will feel better knowing that what I'm cutting is actually cut in perfect angles. I'm SOOOOO new! :D
But I'm definitely getting those scallop circles asap! And then I'm on to scallop ovals for sure. Gotta keep waiting on those 40% off coupons--well, and CASH to pay for it! ;)

The nestabilities are addicting......I don't have a Hobby Lobby near me so I've never been therefore I don't know how much they charge for the nesties...BUT I get mine online at www.ucutathome.com and you can sign up for a 40% coupon that you get once a month and you can buy the basics in sets of 4 and with shipping it ends up being like $53 or something like that I have bought the squares, circles, ovals and rectangles in these sets and their shipping is super fast. Sorry hate to enable!

I tell ya, it's like a drug addict looking for a "fix"--I'm SOOOOO completely caught up in this paper and ink stuff! Thanks for the tip!:D

How is everyone on SCS getting fast shipping from ucutathome? I recently placed an order with them and it took 2 weeks to get it, and I live in the US; Ohio in particular. I don't consider that fast shipping. I just received an order from Stampin Up and got it in 6 days.

I was VERY pleasantly surprised at ucutathome. I thought there would be a catch to the 40% off but there wasn't. I also bought my first Dew Drops from them as well as some scor tape. My order was here in three days. I am loving the scor tape. I find myself reaching for it instead of my glue runner. I bought a roll of each size. As for the Dew Drops. Once I get the new colors of alcohol inks I'll buy clear Dew Drops and color them to my liking. I don't see any sense in buying the gazillions of color combinations that they offer. I'll make it a point to order a set of nesties from them every month. I had thought about posting a "brag" message on them but kept forgetting.

Ucutathome...if you're not registered you might want to if you're wanting to stock up on nesties.

I also live in Ohio and just recently placed my first order from Ucutathome and had really fast shipping. I was happy--and got a nestie I couldn't find locally.

you are so funny Daisy enjoy all your new toys!!!:-D:-D

Wow sorry to hear that - I don't think I've ever waited more than 3 days to receive my orders from them....

I must say that I am thoroughly enjoying the MM trimmer! Amazing how much easier it is to cut with.

:)

Have fun with your toys!

About collecting Nesties (and you WILL start collecting them!), be sure to keep track of whether you're buying CLASSIC or PETITE scallops. You want to get the same ones in each set. (And it's even easier to remember if you just decide on one type and get all your scallop dies in that type for every shape.)

The difference is in the size of the scallops, so if you want to layer, your scallops will be off if you mix Classic & Petite.

I just got my most recent order of new release nesties from Ritz last Wednesday. I ordered 7 new sets from them last Monday...wow was that fast shipping....I have 4 more sets coming from ucutathome. blessings.

WOW!! That's a lot of nesties!:D

Thanks for pointing this out. It makes me wonder if the new scallop oval punch from SU is more like the CLASSIC or PETITE ovals??? I'm doing my best to coordinate EVERYTHING so it'll all work well together.

Thanks for the recommendation. I had to tell ya, though--when I typed in that url, it left it in my history, naturally. When my niece came over Sunday and was looking up something, she clicked on that drop-down box, and then cracked up at the name and wondered what kind of torture-devices I was looking at! The name "ucutathome" apparently doesn't translate well for folks who don't know what you're talking about! :twisted::D
