I would LOVE to make heat transfers. SO COOL!
i so need to make car decals for pick up/drop off at preschool, then I wont have to be trading the cards they gave us back and forth between vehicles!
I would make a personalized logo on a stencil and personalize all of the desserts I make with cocoa or powdered sugar logos....and even entrees and casseroles....possibly using the stencil logo with flour or some other dry ingredient like wasabi peas in powdered form!
I saw this in the craft store and I just looked dazed and imagined me making frosting sheets with team names and logos . Lions , tigers and bears oh my.
I'd like to use this for making decorations, labels for favors, etc. for my daughter's upcoming wedding.
Sweet!! I'd use it to make some awesome, unique cupcake wrappers.
I would like to use this to make gift tags/cards for yummy holiday treats!
I would use this cool machine in my classroom to decorate the walls and my hand-outs. My classroom theme is cupcakes and the kids would go wild for the designs.
Sounds very cool! I'd love to make seasonal cupcake wrappers. But it sounds like there's lot of other fun stuff to make.
I would use this for TONS of stuff. I am getting married in 4 months and I could use this for invitation and stationary, cupcake liners & toppers, signs, table numbers, SO MUCH!
I would love to make some cupcake wrappers.
This is such a cool machine! Everything looks like so much fun, I love the etched glass projects. Maybe I could get started on some christmas gifts!
Just being able to make the laser-cut cuppy wrappers would be great, but imagine the backgrounds that can be made for full-sized cakes - 3-D themes like jungles, outer space, or Barbie's Bedroom!

I would use the machine to make some AWESOME Rockstar cupcake toppers and wrappers for my son's 2nd birthday. I would also make some Halloween decorations. It would be great to win this product ;)
ooh, I would make some super yummy scrapbooking crafty goodies... perhaps halloween treats for my kids classrooms.... wonderful!!!
I am getting married next year and I think this would be a great tool to make my save the date cards! Also, I make my own chocolates - the holiday season is coming up and this could help add a more personal touch when it comes to packaging/presentation.
I would use it! :)
Cupcake wrappers, and Cards, and silhouettes to press between glass and hang in my windows.....Oh My !......the wheels are turning now...Christmas is coming....I could use it to make some awesome gifts!
I would use this at the nursing home I visit to make fun and creative projects for the elderly. Since the Silhouette cuts the patterns out, this would be ideal for those who can't hold scissors. Also, we have a day care at work and the children's imagination could create projects that could simply not be done with paper and pencil.
I would love one of these! I am dreaming and drooling over all the vinyl projects I could do!
I am in a card club. We meet 1 or 2 times a month to make cards, gift tags, and other paper crafts, and teach each other new techniques. This would be AWESOME to use for that group. They would love it. Everyone would want one! I also make custom cupcakes, this would be so perfect for making pretty cupcake papers for wedding and birthday cupcake towers.
I would love to start making personalized gifts for my girlfriends who have recently got engaged. I've thought of two ideas off the top of my head, but of course the possibilities are endless. I would love to make personalized thank you cards for my girls because I know as a bride you will write a TON of thank yous from the showers, bachelorette party and the wedding. My second idea would be to make monogram little mirror coasters, with the couples initials or last initials. I know when I got gifts that were from the heart, they always meant a lot more to me.
