Before I get into this weeks
Two Pink Peas Tuesday's Tool Of The Week
I wanted to apologize for not posting lately. I have been having major problems with Blogger and I think I finally got it resolved. So today I am going to post a few post today to try and catch up. One post being the winner of the Cricut Cartridge and 12 packs of Peel N Stick Ribbon.
Thanks for hanging in there with me.
To start off I am going to go to this weeks tool that I chose. This is called The Silhouette and it is like the Cricut except that you hook this machine up to your computer like you would a printer. Unlike the Cricut where you have to purchase cartridges to cut out the design that you want, with the Silhouette you can purchase individual images that are available in the thousands. Also, you can use all of the fonts that are on your computer and cut those out. Those fonts are all free to cut. I have heard alot of good things about this Silhouette machine and am thinking about trying it once we get settled into our new house. If you are interested in getting more information about the Silhouette just go to http://www.silhouetteamerica.com and you will find all of the information and where to purchase. Some of the other things you can do with this machine is make temporary tattoos, obviously you can make cards and scrapbook pages, custom apparel, vinyl decor, sketch designs and etched glass. So it is alot like the Cricut but I have read that this Silhouette cuts things out like butter and makes much smoother and cleaner cuts.
I am sure that most of you have heard of the Pazzle machine. This is another option as this machine does not use cartridges. This is what the Pazzle website says about this machine...
The Inspiration Creative Cutter® connects to your computer, similar to a printer, but instead of printing the Inspiration uses a small blade to cut your designs you have created, downloaded, or purchased. Imagine cutting any shape, font, or design in an amazing variety of sizes with the click of a button. The Inspiration® is capable of cutting more than just paper and cardstock though; from stencil plastic to chipboard, fabric to rubber stamp material, the Inspiration offers amazing flexibility and power. You can even draw, engrave, emboss, distress, and pierce with your Inspiration® using our added tools.
The Inspiration is a powerful system designed to help make your creative time fast, easy, and fun. The Inspiration® can grow and flex with you, so it never becomes outdated. The freedom to use your own fonts and design your own images means that every project you do can reflect your style.
So if you are looking for something to add to your Cricut or a different machine that you can purchase that can do what the Cricut does you can take a look at the Pazzle or the Silhouette. Here is a picture of the Pazzle...
For more information about the Pazzle go to http://pazzles.com/ and you will find all of the information about this machine. My mother in law owns this machine and she loves it. She uses it almost every single day and really loves it.
I hope these 2 picks for Two Pink Peas Tuesday's Tool Of The Week has given you something different to look at. More posts to come today. Thanks for visiting Two Pink Peas! Have a fabulous day everyone!! ~Terri
