The First Cut Is The Deepest

 Oh WOW you guys!  I am IN LOVE with this new Stampin Up Cut and Emboss Machine.  Y'all... this thing is C-O-M-P-A-C-T!!!!  But don't be fooled.... for such a small machine, it's actually a bit heavier than my beloved Big Shot.  While I loved my Big Shot, I do have to admit, this machine is smoother and feels VERY stable!  Honestly, the pic above is right before my first cut and it was so nice, I had to keep cutting.... just wait till you see all the incredible projects coming!!!!  I'm sort of obsessed with this machine.

Here's a pic of it closed up:

 It's not available for purchase just yet.... UNLESS.... you get a Starter Kit (click HERE to sign up for the kit).  The really cool thing about the starter kit is you get $125 of product for $99 + free shipping on your starter kit.  Why is THAT so cool, well... you get to pick the products (or in this case product) you want in your starter kit because this amazing gem is $120!!!!  That means you can get it for $99 with a little extra from some additional goodies.... BRILLIANT!  This starter kit also allows you to create your very own crafty business if you'd like... there is no obligation, but it is there should you choose to use it.

I'm not gonna lie.... I LOVE that I got to get this early!!!  It has changed my crafting game!  Because it doesn't take up so much real estate, I can now keep it on my work surface to use at a moment's notice.  And not that I need it right during Covid, but afterwards, this little guy is going to be GREAT for travel!!!!

Past 7 Days....

Ultra Rapid Growth - Day 5

Yesterday was my final day for the Nail Aid's Ultra Rapid Growth nail treatment that is available at Walmart (STILL NOT AT MINE THOUGH... UGH)! Yep... this one gets many, many high fives!!! This product not only worked as a nail treatment, I will continue to use this product as a base coat. You guys can judge for yourselves as far as the growth goes. Below are the day 0 and day 5 pics.... but that "rubbery" base layer is the "GETCHA" for me! I haven't used anything like this product. My nails feel stronger and the polish goes on sooooo smoothly. As far as using this product as a topcoat... well, if I'm trying to grow my nails out quickly, then ABSOLUTELY I will use it as a topcoat as the directions tell you to do. I couldn't master the top coat application so that I didn't get ANY bubbles though, so as soon as I get my desired length (which for me is NOW) I will be switching back to my beloved Seche Vite (which I did today). The pic at the top s...

Gorgous Leaves Bundle Revisited

Yestday's Freebie Friday on a Monday projects were so fun and this set is SO BEAUTIFUL in it's simplicity!  It reminds me of a long-retired stamp set from Stampin Up!.  I was inspired to re-create the projects that I made with it once upon a time.  So here we go.... SIMPLE projects when you need a quick "hello" or an even quicker heartfelt sympathy card: I was DEFINITELY on a Bumblebee and Cajun Craze kick yesterday!  I can't stop/won't stop!  LOL!  To be fair... I had extra leaves die cut and didn't want anything to go to waste!  A quick speckle backdrop in Bumblebee then a quick "hello" greeting from the Biggest Wish in Cajun Craze with the Cajun Craze leaf popped up on a Basic White cardbase.  PERFECTION! Okay, as with yesterday's projects, the sentiment is from the recently retired SAB Delicate Dahlia's set, but you could use ANY sympathy sentiment you have in your stash.  Unlike in the past when I had to mask off the center rectangle...
