I have to confess.. I have two new loves in my crafting life right now.. Tim Holtz's products and my new toy, Silhoette machine!!! Just take a look at my card, how can you not LOVE these products!!!
I know I am not getting paid for this, but this also tells you that this is my absolute true opinion ;-) Tim Holtz's dies and embossing folders are to die for!! And I am not only talking about the designs, I am talking QUALITY!!!! Did you know that with TH dies you can cut through a THICK chipboard??!! Did you see how deep the embossing is from his embossing folders??!! OH MY!!
And what about Silhoette?? I have no idea why Cricut is so popular and not so many people even know about Silhoette?? You won't believe how much more freedom you have with Silhouette vs. Cricut!!! You can buy individual images instead of a whole cartridge (where you might only love a few designs), you can cut whatever size you need, you can make changes to the images, you can position the image on the cut mat where you want (thus saving on paper)!! I can go on and on.. and I have only had this machine for a few days now and I am still learning!!
Onto my card now :-)

AMEN to everything you said!!!! I preach about my Silhouette to everyone, including you in the past...LOL...and I am glad to see I was successful...hehehe. And look at this GORGEOUS card!!!! Love every bit of it!
You know how much I adore and could not live without my Silhouette! YAY...so glad you've got one! Your creation is absolutely amazing and stunning!! WOW!!
Beautiful card. I also love TH and my Silhoette!!
This is such a beautiful card with all those cut outs Irina. LOVE IT! I don't own a machine like that. Just a cuttlebug. Maybe some day! Love your sponging too! So elegant. =)
Love your card. Very pretty. I have an old baby bug but want the freedom that the silhouette gives. I may have to convert. LOL
Oooooh this is STUNNING!!! I have a craft robo (an older version of the silhouette) and bought it just for all the reasons you mentioned. It's taken me a while to work it out but now it's out of that box it's STAYING out - LOL
xXx
Totally gorgeous! Kimx
Okay, you make me glad I didn't sell you my Silhouette and you bought a new one! I'll have to get mine out and give it a go. LOVE this card!
Stunning Irina! I can only imagine the creations to come! I have a cricut and love it after I bought SCAl so I can cut any SVG and dont have to buy cartridges!
Saw this beauty on SCS. It was in the forum and was someone's favourite. Now it's mine.
