has taken over my house this morning.
Well okay, maybe only my scrapbook room. I can't get the boys to show much interest.
{Although I do think I heard my son mutter "Thank GAWD it's finally here!". And YES, there was an eye-roll that followed!}
Since it's here, I thought you might enjoy some pictures this morning. You know, so your anticipation can build this weekend!
You know me...here to enable and excite! {LOL}
Ladies...I present to you the QuicKutz EPIC SIX!
I admit - I'm a logo freak. I often buy things based on how cute/unique/classy their logo is. And I just LOVE this logo...so dang hip! This is on the top of the box.
The side of the box shows the machine itself. I'm not positive how they will ship...mine came inside of another brown box. My guess is they will all ship that way, because there isn't really a space for a shipping label...but that's just a guess!
Here is my "handle-less Revolution" stacked on top of the Epic box. For size reference purposes. It's substantial, to say the least. One thing I love...not a lot of wasted packaging. This box fits the 2 platforms and the one cutting plate and the machine. There are two small pieces of foam to cushion everything...but that's it! Thanks QuicKutz for designing the packaging as environmentally-friendly as possible!
And the EPIC! I tried to weigh it this morning, but it's too light to register on my bathroom scale. But all-in-all, the Epic feels about the same weight as the Revolution and the 12" platform together.
These are the two platforms that come in the box. Love that they are clearly labeled! For right now - I am going to call the dark one "ebony" and the light one "cloudy". You'll see why here in a second. {Remember - ebony and cloudy!}
When you flip the platforms over - you'll notice they have different shaped holes on the bottom. You'll always know which side is the right side - AND you can tell them apart no matter how they are laying on your scrap table! But watch this Susan-ism:
- CLOUDY & CIRCLE HOLES = CUTTING....C, C, C
- EBONY & EDGED HOLES = EMBOSSING...E, E, E
Okay, so I admit I'm a big fan of mnemonic devices, but in 12 hours I haven't grabbed the wrong platform yet! C, C, C...E, E, E!!
{LOL}
The platforms are SO NICELY sized...13"x 6". Look at how many QuicKutz border dies fit across the cutting platform! Eighteen 2x2 dies fits here, and three 4x4 dies. LOVE IT! And just think of the Cookie Cutter dies!!
Here is one last look {my feet were scorching, standing on the pavement barefoot!} at the whole shootin' match! Ain't it so purtty!
OH - and the handle. LOVE THE HANDLE. I've never been told I have dainty hands...man-hands is more like it! So I admit, I was a bit worried when I saw the built-in handle. I was sure it would be too small for me. But it is perfect! It carries comfortably and easily - nothing jiggled {on the machine - LOL!} as I walked outside. Only the handle swung back and forth slightly! {anyone up for Scrapy Land hand tattoos?}
LOVE IT! I just have a hunch that one of the women at QuicKutz tossed in the handle idea! Don'tcha think?
The
EPIC arrived at 4:30pm yesterday - right before I started the
Scrapy Land LIVE! show last night. So OF COURSE, I had to share the excitement with all of the viewers! In case you missed it - here it is, in its entirety!
If you have any questions, leave a comment here on this post. I'll leave you a comment-answer as soon as I can. If you're counting down the MINUTES until your
Epic arrives...leave us a fun comment as well.
If you happen to still be on the fence about the Epic...let me know that as well. Because I do know one thing...if you're anxious about the CHA releases next week YOU WILL WANT TO HAVE AN
EPIC ON ORDER when the releases hit the public! Trust me.
{wink wink}
If you're NOT anxious about the CHA releases next week...I need to come check your pulse for signs of life!
I'm here for your EPIC habit...
