HI Crafty friends

Hello my friends, I just thought i would post & show this new product
SPRAY M BOSS FROM ONCE UPON A STAMP web site.
It is for intricate  dies that take up to 7 passes through  machines it was shown on C&C
but sold out. I got mine from the web site. it arrived today & tried it on
Sues  a ANGEL i cut one in 300 gm white pearl card & one in foundation card
& only took 2 passes.
You just do a light spray on both sides of the card let it dry ( a bought 3 seconds or so )
put you die in the middle of cutting plate card on top run through may only need one pass
but no more than two.
THERE IS A VIDEO ON YOU TUBE & he show how it works
Hope you don't mind me sharing this with you.
I have got a card nearly finished so hopefully post it soon.
Thank you crafty hugs  Lynda xx
