I have a Wizard (by Spellbinders) die cut machine that I just absolutely love!! I've had it for about two years now and not only does it do the die cuts but it also embosses and has the most incredible detail. If you have not ever heard of or seen the Wizard I strongly urge you to check out the Website!! Just click on the word Wizard above and it will take you right to the Spellbinders website. They not only have a large variety of amazing dies but they also have a New Rubber Stamp line, called Impressibilities that matches some of the die cuts!! How awesome is that!!! Now you can not only die cut and emboss but you can also add the rubber stamping for the finishing touch. Also if you visit there site you have to check out the video, you will learn all of the great things you can do with the Wizard. Ok so back to the package---I had a question about one of the products so I called them up one day and a man named Michael answered the phone and he was so nice and we talked for a little bit and I told him that I had done a demo using the Wizard at a Scrap'n and Stamp'n Retreat that I had been to in January. Well to make a long story short he said that I should talk to Stacey!! My 1st thought was OMGosh Stacey Caron!!! WOW I would love to talk to her!!! I have to tell you we have talked a few times and she is the sweetest person, so nice and friendly. I'm sure the 1st time we talked she must have thought I was a rambling nut! LOL!! I was so nervous at first I'm sure I was just talking silly! *wink* But she is so down to earth and so easy to talk to. Well I ended up getting a package in the mail from her!!! She said she wanted to thank me for the demo that I had done and thought I would like to try out some of the newest product.!!! Like I said Yummy Goodies in the mail!!! So here is a picture of what was in my package---I should have taken a picture before I started cutting the sheets of rubber but I was so excited I forgot!! The great thing about these stamps is that they come in a sheet of rubber and then you can either mount them to a wooden block or you can use easy mount so they can be used with the acrylic blocks.
I also took a picture of the die so you could see just how thin they are. They come in a jewel CD case and you can store them that way or you could take them out and store in whatever way works best for you.
Here is my 1st card I have made using my new die and stamps. For those of you that know me I think you would agree that this couldn't have been a better set for me, I love butterflies!! I am also working on some cards with the tag die but I don't have them finished yet. 
I took a few close up pictures so you could see all of the wonderful detail.
I added some Diamond Stickles (Ranger) and Swarovski Crystals (gotta have a little bling! )just to give it the finishing touch--I Love how it sparkles!! Also the swirl stamps used on this card are from Autumn Leaves.Here is another butterfly that I made but haven't added to a card yet. Just wanted to show you another version with a different color combo.
Stacey, if you happen to check out my blog--Thank You!! Thank You so very much!!! I LOVE IT ALL!!!! You are the best and I can't wait to see what new products will be revealed on the 20th!!! *counting down the days!*
Beautiful job! Your die cut and stamp were a great investment! Your card and butterflies are just beautiful!
