Very cool Cheryl, thanks. Now unfortunately this means more equipment, Nestabilities?

[nancine]

oh yeah, you're gonna want those too Farley

So Nancy, what else am I going to "need" to optimize my Cuttlebug, hmmm?

[nancine]

well... I *only* have some dies, the embossing folders (how can you resist when they are only $4.99 - not counting sales) and I have just a couple sets of the Nesties so far. I have one alphabet die cut for the Cuttlebug - I used a Michael's coupon for that since they run about $90.

If you go to www.cutathome.com and sign up you get a 40% off coupon each month that you can use on them, so I've been getting single sets of Nestabilities slowly that way. They also have a good page for the "Sandwiches"!!

Also google Ellen Hutson I think she has good prices. Oh, oh ---> this place has good prices too and the gals on the GingerStamp BB swear by her

Nancie and fellow cuttlebugites JoAnn's having a sale online for Cuttlebug folders and die cuts. 2.99 for A2 folders!

I posted this over the weekend when I found it and snapped up some more folders. Just checked and the sale is still going.

I don't have any Nestabilities but Have been eying them for a while.

I just checked JoAnns for the Nestabilities and they are 18.74, reg 24.99 online only. I'm not sure I "get" them yet.

I'm not sure I "get" them either but I've been eyeing them too. Joann's has them for a good price! I wonder if they have the embossing mat that is needed too? I'll be checking this out! Thanks Farley!

I like using that 40% off coupon at cutathome. Usually get something there every other month. I am actually waiting on a couple of sets of nesties from them now. I really want that Label 2 set.

Thanks for the info ladies, I'm going to make the big purchase in a couple of weeks, so I'm getting excited, especially with how cheap these dies are

Thanks for this post! Very interesting technique. I was wondering about those nestie things...now I know you can use them in the cuttlebug. I bought a cuttlebug on Monday, and ordered a "few" embossing folders at Joann.com! QVC carries the nestie things, but not sure about pricing, etc.

A whole new world of crafting is before me!

For anyone that has the Nestabilities
what is the average largest size?
They look so big in the photos at all the sites
and most don't have measurements.

Elizabeth --

Here are some measurements of ones that I recently bought --
Scalloped rectangles -- largest is 4" x 3 1/4"
Scalloped ovals -- largest is 4 1/4" x 3 1/4"
Scalloped circles -- largest is 4 1/" in diameter
Scalloped elongated rectangles -- largest is 6 1/4" x 3 1/4"

(and they usually have either 5 or 6 in each package)

These things are addictive, too, I tell ya! In addition to the nestable ones, there are other designs, too... I use Hobby Lobby coupons and get them there.

Thanks, Lynn.
When I thought they were large
they were not tempting now they are. LOL
