Congrats To Sherri of That's scrap & Dawn of Thyme Graphics

As many of you have know I speak my mind when I see the need. Now is that time There is a CREEP as Miss Penny Duncan has properly labeled him He has bee going around purposely causing issues and has badmouthed these two ladies and they have been ladies in handling this matter, and the both have their Trademark paper work that shows that THEY DO INDEED OWN THE TRADE NAME OF THE BLACK CAT COUGAR AND THE SILVER BULLET and the proper variations of it. and Miss Penn has summed it all up in a well said post so I am linking to her post and I would love to have you read it too.

Engraving on a canning lid flat

Tonight I was thinking and washing some canning lid flats that i use on jars when just storing items that have been opened and I said to myself I wonder if I can engrave on this so to my craft room I went with the lid. This is the first time I have ever thought of engraving one one of these lids, laid it on my mat taped it in place but it didn't need it it adhered to the mat just fine got the engraving tip out of my storage container and placed it in the Silver Bullet set the spacing and origin using Sure cuts A lot 3 imported my svg I did the crosshatch fill in Inkscape and saved then I double checked my origin on the machine using the force of 133 and the speed of 400 I let it go, and the end result first time not bad at all.

Also here are some Blogs that are also posting about this new and awesome Cutter:

uscutter machines and Amy Chomas tools

hello
 just not getting to the blog as much as I would like. today this blog is for a Dear lady Amy Chomas,. I had sent her what the company of the us cutter MH series  machines refers to as a pen tool, sad it is a small metal tube like tool but you have to use only the insides of an ink pen and some styles just don't work. well we emailed a few time with sizing and she goes do you think that the sharpie holder for the cameo we have designed  would fit? I was not sure but willing to give it a try and here are the results using both Make-the-cut and Sure Cuts a Lot. if you have a us cutter machine and would like to uses any sharpie and or pen contact Amy at her site here:  www.chomascreations.com and she will be happy to help you with your purchase of the pen tool for the us cutter. machines. I used both MTC and Scal to show that the MH-871 can be used with either program.

3D sardine shaped box with pull top


Hi I  thought 
I would share my photo of my latest play. Idea came from seeing a sardine shaped flat card. I thought to myself this would make a great gift box and they would have to open it by pulling the tab and the top opens like a can and we have some simple challenges going on on the Blackcatus forum the theme of today's was do something the use flowers in some way well I incorporated them to my box. and this is what I came up with.
