Hey there friends. The original design I had in mind for this anniversary card called for my new Nestibilities die. So I made my plate "sandwich" and started to run it through my Cuttlebug and next thing I knew one end cover blew off of my Cuttlebug and the plates came flying back out at me and hit me in the shin and foot. I ended up with a big goose egg on my shin and a bruised toe. Gotta watch out for those Cuttlebug attacks. lol I'm not sure what caused my poor Cuttlebug to "explode". I had my "sandwich" properly stacked and was only cutting card stock. The one thing I did differently was that I rolled the sandwich through and then turned the handle and started to roll it back through the other way. This is something I don't normally do, so maybe that was the problem. If hubby can't fix my Cuttlebug, I'll be saving for a new one. :(
The digital image I used on my card is from
Shoregirl's Creations. I used a SU punch to cut the little banner flags out of printed paper and stamped the letters on them. I had planned to print a July calendar to use, but we were out of black ink, so I used the July page from one of my calendars. I'm happy with how this card turned out considering I couldn't use my Cuttlebug or my printer as I had originally planned to. :)

what a pretty card! In response to your die cutter question I think it would cut intricate shapes well. It cut the 1mm thick legs on the owl out of typing paper with no snags. I thin if you used a sharp blade you would be fine, it is more precisce than my cricut for sure! Also it cuts faster and there are more options and choices in ECAL. I have not tried the silhouette so maybe that is better for stuff like doilies, im not sure but I was cutting designs smaller than recommended on the Eclips and they cut perfect!
Just popped back to say thank you for your lovely comment on my blog today. I so appreciate it.
