Recently Spellbinders gifted the Gina K Designs Design Team with the Grand Calibur die cutting machine. Prior to this machine, the Cuttlebug was my die cutting friend. Now I find I use the Grand for all my Spellbinders die cutting, it just cuts and embosses the dies more efficiently, plus you can't beat the platform size for cutting multiple dies at once. Don't get me wrong, I still use the bug, just not for Spellbinder dies.
For my project for round two I made a chipboard covered tag. Yep, the chipboard cut like a dream with the Grand. I loved the colors I used in a card earlier with this set, I decided to make a tag using the same colors, coloring method and focal shape.
Finished tag is a little over 4-1/2"T x a little over 3-1/4" W
