I can honestly say that the Hot Foil Wizard tool was the worst buy of my entire crafting life. I used it once and put it away. £90 down the drain.

The Fiskars Shape Boss! The big one!......I ended up giving it away.
I couldn't be without my big shot though....use it a lot if I'm doing scrapbooking or 'memory cards'...... Jackie x |

The Wizard die cutting machine was mine. Just didn't like using it. Chrissie x

Where do I begin!! I have far too many little bits like cards and embellishments that are at the back of drawers of craft items that I find from time to time,
then I say 'Oh, I can't believe I forgot about that!' then put them back in the drawer and forget about them for another year! In terms of larger
and more expensive items I bought some kind of die cutting thing with hammers and red handles that was a TSV on QVC some years ago. It's stuck at the back
of the cupboard under the stairs along with various Christmas decorations and suitcases! Don't know why I even bought it, I think it was over £30. I
think it was probably back in the days when I bought all my craft things from QVC and felt I 'needed' every craft TSV. I have grown out of that thank
goodness!

Fiskars Shape Boss, kits I bought when I started out .............. lots of things in fact. I was clearing out some of my stuff the other day and was amazed
at how much
 I had. Most of it was when my crafting was in it's
infancy - so why have I kept it all those years?

The Hot Marks tool. I bought it because it was demo'd cutting stencils, then I found out you needed a special paper to use with it and could never find out
what it was!! I think I did use it once a couple of years ago, to try heat sealing a bag for a shaker experiment and it did work for that, but it has been in
the back of th cupboard since!
If anyone does know what the special paper to use when cutting stencils is called, I'd be really grateful! Janet |

I have failed time and time again with the bookatrix board,and have given up with the Catwalk CD (ordered it when it was first shown before they said you
needed the board to go with it)and the board that goes with it. (Can't remember the board name).I just can't get on with the keepsake boards. I
can't follow the channels no matter what ball tool I use

I can honestly say, I don't think I've wasted my money on anything, but........ I do have a Wizard and hardly used it as I don't have any dies for
it. Must get some I guess and start using it.

Why don't you put all these things in 'SWAPS' and hopefully get something you can use? Tess x

Top of my list has to be the rubber stamp making kit and the extra bits I bought off C&C, tried it a couple of times and failed big time, so it has sat
gathering dust for over a year, I have the red sizzix machine, used it a few times, then bought the big shot, so the red one is now back in the box, I have got
the Cricut too and I use both. And there is the multi packs I bought from C&C the majority of bits in it are not used, I am going to have a table at a
church sale in September so I hope to sell a few bits there....

Mine has to be the dufex engraving kit.
Only tried it one and put it back in the packaging. Sarah xxx |
