I would design a bunch of cupcake wrappers!
I would use it as stencils for cookie/cake dusting
I would give this to my fiancée. We do not have much money, and I know she has been dieing for one of these for years (we even make a detour whenever we are in a craft shop to check them out in hopes they have gone on sale). This would make an excellent birthday gift for her!
I have been wanting one of these. I would definitely use it first to make greeting cards, but I also love scrapping. Linda
Oh my oh my!!!
I would do cupcake wrappers and toppers!!!
Dress them up :)
Ooh! Snazzy!
I would definitely want to make wrapping paper! It's very hard to get wrapping paper that fits the person! Not every girl is a ballerina, not every boy is into football, and balloons are meant to be 3D. Besides, one of the best parts of the present is the wrapping paper, but with the cool designs I could make with the Silhouette Digital Cutting Tool, I definitely would tear along the edges. :)
Greeting Cards
Goody Labels and wall decor!
I would use this for scrapbooking and card making!
Cupcake toppers for all my upcoming party hosting!!!!
WOW!! What fun. Oh, my! I think I would use it for so much around here. I don't know where to start!
This looks fun. I could use it for making cards, gift tags and cup cake topper stencils.
Fall themed cupcake wrappers or I could start planning something cute for my university graduation invitations!
I would love love love to make Cupcake wrappers with this machine ! :)
Wow that is awesome! I would absolutely love to make cards with that, as my standard pop-up card is getting a little old these days. That would definitely wow my friends and family if I could use some sweet cut-outs and make slightly fancier cards (although who says a pop-up card can't be fancy...? Maybe it's the stick figures I draw...)
I would use it for Thanksgiving...cupcake wrappers, placecards etc>>>>>!!!!!
I love a good party and there are so many things I could use this for to help with the decor: cupcake liners, banners, personalized tableware and favors. So many ideas!
What wouldn't I make with this?! Stencils, cards, calendars, stationery, wall art, business cards, envelopes, and so much more.... Amazing!
Oh the possibilities! I'm just dying to get my hands on one of these for card making!
I would love this!!! I would make wrappers for cupcakes first and then something for scrapbooking. What a great tool!!
cards... or something fun for my first grade class!
Oh my goodness...I would LOVE to win this! I think I'd start with homemade cards and then maybe create a holiday banner. The possibilities are endless!
Definitely would use it to make some stencils for glass etching! I love the thought of having that machine!
Wow! A-mazing Cupcake Wrappers, Christmas Ornaments, as decorating accents on cookie bags (and cupcake boxes of course!)...ohh i so want one!
i would make some awesome cupcake-toppers, just waiting for a special occasion! how about... Fridays!
