Get a slice of the action...

So the new Making Memories SLICE is almost, nearly, should be... on it's way at some point (and the price may have increased ;) It is one tool that I am not sold on. I usually salivate over gadgets, but this is one little tool that doesn't seem cute or even workable. SO I WANT to be convinced by all you "slice pre-order'ers" that it surely IS the best thing since... well, sliced bread ;)



In it's defence, the marketing spiel goes something like this...

Portable• Fits in the palm of your hand• Measures 5" square and weighs less than 2 pounds• Runs independently on rechargeable battery or can be plugged in Stylish Designs• Exclusive shapes and designs from Noteworthy and Animal Crackers style programs, with more to come• Fun Basic Shape designs Easy to Use• User friendly interface• Scroll through hundreds of designs with the simple push of a button• Large 2" graphics window to preview shapes before cutting Multiple Sizes• Cuts designs in up to 8 sizes ranging from ½" to 4"Multiple Media• Cuts textured cardstock, vellum, vinyl and photos up to .5 mm thick• Cuts anywhere on any size media

Anyone got their hands on one? My view is that I do not want to have to keep my hand on the tool whilst it does it's pretty basic/simple cutting... as it is slow, and is tying up my valuable craft hands, which could be flocking or stamping...

Happy to be wrong...!!

Okay~ so I don't have one...but I wouldn't mind giving it a try. Especially since it will cut things out for me and they'll end up being cut out perrrrfectly too. (I simply just HATE to cut things out by hand~and hate is a pretty strong word you know.) So I'd give the Slice a try though. :D
