Sizzix and Cuttlebug!

Posted by Roxinda-head

I received this Sizzix Hello Kitty (Kathy) Die as part of a treasure-trove of prizes as the winner in a monthly drawing from Buy4Less.webstore.com.

They are also on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/shopbuy4less.

Here is the original die on the Sizzix website:

I didn't think I would be able to use this cute little die cut because I don't own a Sizzix Big Shot machine...HOWEVER...my brain got to churning, and I tested it in my Cuttlebug using just two "B" plates (one under and one over) and the paper under the die...

I used some left over scraps from another project to test it out, and low and behold...it worked fantastically!

Now, I'll be looking for more deals on Sizzix dies to use in my Cuttlebug machine!
Can't wait to use my 40-50% coupons at my local craft store to get more of these wonderful die cut templates.

Thank you for allowing me to share and taking the time to look, and I hope it inspires you to make your own wonderful creations! :D

♥ ♥ Angel Policies ♥ ♥

An Angel Policy is the company’s (brand’s) way of saying “hey, you can buy our product, and we will let you use it to create hand crafted items, but you have to follow these rules if you plan on selling the crafts you make”. An Angel Policy is basically that company’s “permission document” or permission slip to use their products on crafts that you intend to sell.

Here is a link to a blog with some "Angel Policies" regarding how you can or cannot use your hand-made craft products if you plan on selling them.
http://cazzytime.blogspot.com/p/angel-policy-links.html

American Crafts ~ By all means feel free to sell projects made with our products. However, be sure to give credit where credit is due; please properly credit American Crafts.

Anna Griffin ~ Consumers may use our products (papers and stamps) to create a limited number of handmade, original projects to sell at craft shows and at other small venues. They may not, however, mechanically reproduce any designs or mass produce (over 50 of each design) the work. They may not sell projects incorporating our designs in retail stores. Finally, they cannot represent themselves or their product as being affiliated with Anna Griffin. Unauthorized use, scanning or reproducing of our products or designs is strictly prohibited by law.

BasicGrey ~ BasicGrey is proud to allow scrapbookers and craft persons to use our products to make items for resale in limited quantities(no more than 50 of each design), but please keep in mind that BasicGrey images and products are protected by copyright. Our Angel Policy is that any mechanical, computer, or assembly line type production is prohibited, and we reserve the right to restrict the use of any BasicGrey product at our sole discretion.

Bazzill Basics ~ You are more than welcome to use our products in your creations, just be sure to credit our name to our products.

Bo Bunny ~ The only requirements we have in using Bo-Bunny Press on your hand-made crafts is that you do not mechanically copy all of our designs. Only original Bo-Bunny Product may be used.

Chatterbox ~ As far as using Chatterbox Product, somewhere on the product or packaging needs to say that the product was made using Chatterbox. As long as you give credit to Chatterbox for making the certain item you're using is all that we require.

Close To My Heart ~ All designs are copyrighted by CTMH Co. and are protected under United States and international copyright law, which means they cannot be copied without Close To My Heart's permission. However, Close To My Heart's Angel Policy does grant limited permission (a license) to purchasers of Close To My Heart stamps to create hand-stamped artwork for sale. Close To My Heart does not limit the types of hand-stamped creations that may be sold under this policy, within reasonable standards of good taste.

Cloud 9 Design ~ Can I use your files to create a project to resell? A. Please read the details on my 'Terms of Use' page before making items to re-sell, but yes, you can make items to resell with these patterns. "YOU MAY use these patterns and digital images to create handmade project for resale and profit. If selling completed projects, you are required to give credit to Designs on Cloud 9." Please be sure to always give credit by saying "pattern created and used with permission by Designs on Cloud 9." YOU MAY NOT use these patterns or files to create a kit or a part of a kit for resale.YOU MAY NOT use Designs on Cloud 9 products for mass production.

Cricut® Angel Policy (Permissions)~ This Angel Policy still does not authorize you to produce and sell individual, unassembled cuts using Cricut products (i.e., mass producing individually-cut letters or shapes to re-sell). It does, however, authorize you to sell up to 10,000 completed projects annually (i.e., cards, scrapbook pages, finished cakes), using cuts made with Cricut products. This revision offers the most flexibility possible to those who wish to create and sell projects made using any of the Provo Craft products, while also protecting the creative ideas and images of the independent artists with whom we work to produce art for our cartridges.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Walt Disney Company (Disney Consumer Products, Inc.), Sesame Workshop, Hello Kitty (Sanrio, Inc.), Warner Bros. (DC Comics, c/o Warner Bros. Consumer Products, Inc.), Martha Stewart, Kirstie Allsopp (BBC Worldwide Limited), Entertainment One UK Limited, and Nickelodeon (Viacom International, Inc.) characters and images MAY NOT be reproduced and sold.

K and Company ~ K&Company is honored that consumers would consider using our products for their special hand-crafted projects. K&Company products (a part of EK Success Brands)are generally sold only for personal, non-commercial use. Nevertheless, K&Company typically does not object to the use of a K&Company product on/in another product for resale in a limited quantity, and as long as you do not mass produce your items you can use our products.

Under no circumstances are you allowed to resell or distribute the files associated with digital designs offered by Silhouette. If you plan to use your Silhouette to create products which you will sell or use for commercial purposes, you must purchase a commercial license. If a commercial license is unavailable for a design, that design is limited to personal use. The royalty-free license fee is a flat one-time payment based on the number of units you will produce for resale. You may, of course, use the Silhouette to produce original projects for the purpose of reselling products made by the Silhouette so long as it is not a replication of an image offered by our company or its licensors. Alterations to original images offered from Silhouette America could constitute an "original" modified design if the alterations are significant enough. If the image is not recognizably taken from the original art, then there is no problem with such use. Alternately, it is permissible for individuals to reproduce non-commercially licensed images offered by our company or its licensors made with the Silhouette for any individual, organization, or event so long as it is not with the intent of re-sale purposes.
