While I was embossing the poinsettia on the XCut A4 cutting machine, the cutting plate snapped in two. This is the second time this has happened in less than 6 months. I guess I am very heavy handed and a bit slap-dash ...but I had my Big Shot for years and never broke the plate. Maybe being bigger makes the plates more vulnerable, I must be more careful as replacements cost £10 each.

A really beautiful card but the thought of Christmas in February is pretty scary. Well done Marina
Love Chrissie xx
I've replaced my plates for the Big Shot maybe twice in 5 years. One plate did break in two but it was very worn. I do use my machine a lot.
Sometimes I too color up an image and don't know how to move on from there. I have many images laying around waiting to be used. But usually an idea comes. Often by seeing a sketch, a photo, color challenge or a combination of more. Your card turned out really Christmasy and sweet.
Fancy that plate snapping? I snapped some Lil'Inker dies! It's so annoying and these things aren't cheap... Still your card turned out a beauty... Love the colouring!
so adorable...beautiful poinsettia!

Very pretty! The colors in the paper match perfectly with your colored image!
Sorry to hear about the broken plate... Has happened to me too with my Cuttlebug. I've bought it second hand though so I think it's understandable mine go broken, if your machine is so new maybe a complaint to the manufacturer could be made! However, love the poinsettia and the colors of this!
This is absolutely beautiful! Such a pretty image and I like ve the embossed poinsettia. Shame about the plate breaking though! xxx

Beautiful Christmas card Marina. I don't think the size of the cutting plates would be the problem. I have the Grand Caliber which is A4 and I've been using it now for at least four years and I'm still using the original plates.
what an amazing card love the detail of the poinsettia I am sorry about the cutting plate
Beautiful adorable card, thank you for sharing with us at Sparkles Monthly, hope to see you again next time..
