I'd love to make sweet Christmas cards!

[yvonnew]

I would love to do the paper crafts. BTW, love your website!

[Krystal Bergman]

I think I'd have to start with cupcake toppers!! :)

[emilyadi]

Oh gosh, sooo many things! I guess cards are the first to pop into my head. Pop up specifically :)

[Emily]

I love this!! I've been dying to make pirate flags for the tops of some rum soaked cupcakes!!

[Dena G.]

I would love to use this for my scrapbook pages. I have had my eye on this for awhile. Thanks for the great giveaway!

[Charity]

I'd make thank you cards and gift tags!

[sarah]

for sure, i would use the heat transfer to make some cute (and original) clothes for my 4 month old baby girl. i have so many ideas in my head and have contemplated freezer paper stencils, but with a 3.5 year old boy running around, that task keeps getting put on the back burner...

and, although i mostly attempt to make all cupcake decor edible, i'm quite drawn to the cute little toppers i see everywhere. i'm just not precise or patient enough to pull them off on my own. :)

thanks!

[Ivy]

SOOOOO cool!
I think I would want to make cupcake liners and little cupcake flags.

[Amber Barnum]

Ummmm.... make my own cupcake wrappers???!?! I am totally down for that!

[Cyndi Harris]

Jar labels and banners and all kinds of fun stuff!

[Hayley]

Oh man that looks fun! I think I would first try some designs for home decor!

[lexi]

It would be awesome to use for art school projects.

[Riko]

The project I would mostly use this for is multilayered paper sculptures. Then when I figure out its nuances, figure out what else I may apply it to.

[lynne]

I would use the heat transfers to make t-shirts for my son's new Eagle Scout Frat. They have no money and want t-shirts like the other frats. Thanks for hosting.

[splendidcakes]

Wow, where to begin... gift tags, business cards, stencils for rolled fondant with petal dust...I'm drooling!

[Wesley]

I would love to use it to help with my Study Abroad scrapbook that I've been putting off for months. It would definitely give me that push to finally make it!

[Amy]

I would use this to make adorable labels for my baked goods and to make thank you notes to people who order from me! And I would love to make personal greeting cards for everyone I know, no more generic store cards!

[Amanda G]

I would make stencils to decorate harvest/fall/Halloween cupcakes and cookies to serve at our 4th annual "Nacho Pumpkin" Party, where everyone brings a nacho topping to share and a pumpkin to carve.

[Nicole]

Great! This would be awesome for my kids for school!

[Delvene]

cupcake wrappers.... and tags..... and cards...... for everything..... and all occasions!!! I love this- too cute!

[jessica]

this looks amazing! i would love to make homemade cards and use the "scraps" for other crafting projects. I can think of so many uses for this!!

[Casey]

As a homeschooling mom of 6, I'm sure I could put this to use.

[Shelly De Leeuw]

I would make my little guy tshirts with really cool graphics! I could make picture frames and etched glass jars! The list could go on and on! There are so many things to make!

[Cassandra]

I would love to make some jack-o-lantern toppers for some cute halloween cupcakes!
