SLICE DIGITAL DESIGNER: Digital Die-Cut Creations
Creativity Lost
The enjoyment of creating original art and crafting useful or decorative items is rapidly becoming a lost pastime with the kids of this generation. I hate to begin anything with ”When I was growing up” , but there was a time when creativity was encouraged in school through classes like Home Ec and Art. We’d learn, and then we’d take these ideas and skills home to mama, who would show us how to put them to use in every day life. Maybe it was just a regional thing, but we seldom bought anything to give for a gift; it was all homemade. These skills certainly aren’t taught today, and I wonder if today’s mamas have the time to pass along what they learned as children.
Creativity Found
So, when I saw this thing called Slice Digital Designer, I was interested, not only for myself, but for my granddaughter. I’m not much for As Seen On TV stuff, but I thought the digital aspect would intrigue my granddaughter enough to open a door to creativity. For $14.95 with free shipping and a 30 day money back guarantee, I figured I had nothing to lose, so I ordered one.
The Slice Digital Designer Kit comes with the cordless 3-in-1 machine and power cord adapter. There are alphabets, geometric shapes, glass cutting mat, grids, replacement blades, the owner’s manual and more. When I got it, I was almost overwhelmed by the freebees they sent. In the interest of space and readability, I won’t mention them all, but there was adhesive, applicator brush, more blades, project cards and paper and more.
Creative Projects
This thing is really neat. The Slice Digital Designer cuts, embosses and draws. It will cut through anything up to 1/2 mm thick, even some fabrics. The cuts are accurate and precise, and there’s little waste because of your ability to position your project medium. It operates on either a battery or power cord, and it’s small so it doesn’t take up a lot of counter space. The Slice Digital Designer is simple to use too, which is a good thing because I’m not too good with directions any more. You just insert one of the design cards, select a shape on the graphic interface, preview your selection on the two inch window, and push the button. You’ve literally got thousands of images to choose from so your creative possibilities are endless.
As our first project, my granddaughter and I are working on a picture album for her. She’s got a digital camera and a small printer, so she can create a personalized album focused on her childhood that she can look at forever. Not only that, she will remember who helped her make it! It’s coming along so well, that I decided to go ahead and purchase the Digital Designer, and have sent in the first of my three monthly $66.65 payments. I’ve already started working on next year’s Christmas gifts for the family. Being able to create for each one individually is a joy for me, and I know they will enjoy receiving presents with a “hand made” touch.
