Oh boy where to start?! Since I'm a complete sucker for cupcakes, this machine would become my cupcake factory! I would also be happy to cutout copious amounts of vinyl. Maybe I would even venture into making cards! The possibilities are endless and I'd probably end up buried in a pile of cute! >__< b

[Megan]

I would love one of these!! First I would do some vinyl projects I've had in mind for awhile, then use the heat transfer tool for personalized tote bags for my kiddos. So many possibilities!

[Sheila]

I really want to try glass etching, but I think I would be trying all of the different ways to use it.

[Tara Ward]

I would SO make matching t-shirts for my daughter and her daddy to wear to Daddy Day at preschool! Thanks for hosting. hugs from Texas, Tara

[Marivonne Rodriguez]

I would love to make all sorts of stencils for cake decorating. I would use the stencils for airbrushing the design on buttercream or fondant, for doing stenciling on fondant with either royal icing or buttecream, or even for just dusting pretty designs with confectioner's or colored granulated sugar on brownies or cupcakes. The possibilities are endless!!! :-)
