Hi

Hi, Thanks for dropping by.

My name is Eileen but to friends in the card making world I'm known as 'ikki'. (which is pronounced I-KEY) From where or how this came about I'm not sure - it just got shorten from my original craft name of Ikemo by various friends along my crafting way! I started crafting whilst recouperating from an accident, and from my first attempts with peeloffs and paint - I was hooked! Now my passion is my BUG! and now BEADING!

In the Cupboard you will find ideas, news, tips and techniques to help you get more from this fab little machine. So come in - join the fun and Cuttle with me!


Cutting Dies

WHEN CUTTING TAKE CARE TO USE THE CORRECT PLATES - THE WRONG SANDWICH COULD BREAK YOUR MACHINE - I HAVE COLOURED CODE EACH MACHINE FOR EASY RECOGNITION.


ALL MACHINES DIFFER - CHECK YOU HAVE THE RIGHT DETAILS FOR YOUR MACHINE


ALL SANDWICHES STACKED FROM THE BOTTOM

PLEASE REMEMBER THESE ARE THE SANDWICHES I USE IN MY MACHINE, YOUR MACHINE MAY DIFFER IN THE PRESSURE OF THE ROLLERS


GOLDEN RULE FOR ANY MACHINE:  NEVER FORCE - CHECK YOUR SANDWICH AND TRY AGAIN.
