it is a toy for girls, but the four embossing plastic plates are kewl, you can feel the pictures really well, would be good to follow the indents with glitter glue, up to my neck in making cards, i have forty small cards waiting for glue to dry to do next tree, i had to buy mixed coloured paper in the end so that i could get green, it takes one a 4 green paper per tree of pine branches, i fully made one card, it is only small card, it has so much embellishments that no room to put my punches like opened christmas tree or angels or stars etcetera, i bought christmas wishing verse with silhouette fairy with wand for card, only need to type in text box my name and print, anyways here is link for smyths toys, when the web page loads it will be on the page the nine ninety nine greetings cards embossing machine. http://www.smythstoys.com/crafts-54sc/greeting-cards-109758itm.aspx?qwSessionID=d23d24c1-370c-44fe-9ae1-5062f838a6af vanessa. -----Original Message----- From: Carol O'Connor - Email Address: missbossyboots33@xxxxxxxxx Sent On: 22/11/2012 21:23 Sent To: guide chat - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] vanessa hi vanessa sister oh like sound of that embossying machine at £9.99 when you say smith do you mean wh smith let me know vanessa sounds fantastic with all them cards too oh wow bargain there love carol xxxx
