First week with "Zing" (aka KNK Zing)

Here I am to tell of my first week with "Zing".

Opening the box and getting it out.

Pluging in to computer and starting up my make the cut software.

Well then what to choose first to cut.

Of corse it had to be one of the susanbluerobot sliceform 

designs. Thinking to myself what sort of test will I give this , so 

I cut it small to see how it handled it . Well it cut it with ease 

not a problem (cut my teddy sliceform at 2" high (having never

ever cut him that small before) ) I was amazed with how fine 

a cut it cut even on the slits they were only on pixel wide when 

cutting the teddy this size and not one tear. SADLY with all 

the excitement of seeing it cut so nice at 2inches high, I did not 

give it a thought of how I was going to put it together (all 37 pieces).

And though the zing cut it perfectly my hands were too fat and it was 

impossible to put together UGG (this is not going to beat me I will 
visit this at a later date)

Next cut was a butterfly card that I had designed many years ago 

and had no luck cutting it on either two machines that i had already.

CUT fantastically The cut on the Zing is soo fine that it looks wonderful.

This I was able to  put together  as a card. Did run the base of the card

though the cuttlebug before putting together.

Made the 2 Alota cards challenge  Theme is shaped cards  which 

was great  having the Zing that just wanted to cut  them out.

Designed these in inkscape and imported to make the cut.

Next  was a big surprise as  before Christmas when making 

the snowmen for the snowglobes i made. I tried both my 

other cutters doing all tweaking to get them to cut the

Velumn snowmen out with very little success (I ended up cutting out

57 pieces , needed was 10 and  i picked the best of them even though 

i had to cut of all the snowmens arms as they were a mess)

So then  Friday was going to be the BIG test when i got out my 

velumn  and tested it by slowiing Zing to 9 speed and cut out a 

line of butterflies  they ranged between 3/4" and 1 1/4" with 

antennas of  butterflies i pixle wide. OMG it cut them perfectly

I mean PERFECTLY i ended up cutting out 200 more  and only had

to throw 2 away but that was not cause of Zing , 

but cause of how i took them of the mat .

Here is a book I made using some of them  ,

 OH also cut the lettering  out .

I am of to explore some more.

 If you live in Australia and New Zealand 

and wondering where you can get a KNK Zing 

SKAT KAT  is the place to find them
