So in may (as I've mentioned) 10 of us rented a place for us to crop. Put on by 10 of us for the 10 of us. So no frills we are staying at a hotel rented a banquet room etc. So 3 of us go from my area and when me and one of said friends were at mike's last night we saw the spellbinders prizm mini die cut machine on clearance for $24.
We looked at it didn't think much cause we both have a big shot and big shot plus.
So this morning I get in my head what if we gave it away at the crop. Do a draw for it. We will get some dies to go with it. So called up other two ladies and they are in. So we split the cost 3 ways.
I just went and grabbed it. Luckily it was still there.
It is 2.5 inch opening like the side kick.
So my thought is we wrap it up so no one knows what it is. And do a draw on the Friday when we get there. We know a couple of the ladies don't have a machine and we really hope one of them wins it.
We are going to order off of aliexpress some die sets to go with it.
I think it will be a nice gift for someone to win.

We are going to get some word dies, and just some dies good for cards. Each going to throw in $5 for dies. I will maybe add some card bases and cardstock with the prize and if we can find a cute cheap stamp set.

That’s a great prize! I won that machine on NSD last year. It’s what opened the huge rabbit hole of manual die cutters and cardmaking.

I just did, I got tags,alpha set, numbers set, flower set (with 12 dies) sentiment flags, banner, stars, hearts, happy bday, love, 10 word set. In total this prize cost the 3 of us $16 each. That includes the machine and dies. Not bad. |
