Wow this product is so cool! There are so many things I would make. I would love to design stencils for shirts and bags and try making the cupcake holders and wall decals and cards hehe so many things! <3
I would make my own cupcake wrappers for sure! Nothing I hate more than having a cupboard full of old wrappers from different holidays and them having those get pushed around, mashed, etc. before I can use them again. :/
I would love one of these, especially since they're mac compatible now. I think I would use it to cut letters for my canvas art. . . amoung other things!!
I have been wanting to make fun silhouettes to go in my bedroom! This would be perfect for that! Not to mention cakes, cards, cupcakes, banners! I can't even imagine all the awesomeness I could do with this!

I would use it to make decorations for Welcome Home cupcakes for my friends brand new baby boy!!
I would love this machine! I would be making the most adorable cupcake wrappers for my niece's baptism along with precious little cupcake toppers in the shape of bows and little mary jane shoes. My family will go wild for them!
I would decor everything with the vinyl especially my wooden sign, make cards, gift tags, presents for all my friends and family, etching a glass vase, decorate shirts & a couple bags and make decorations for fall and Christmas!!!
Oh! How exciting! I would make cupcake wrappers and borders for my cake stands!
Paper cutting for my kids birthday banners!
I want to make decorations, invitations, etc. for my granddaughter's 13th birthday. (She went through a difficult situation and we've only had her for 7 years). She is a great kid and deserves the best of everything! I would probably have a hard time getting it away from her! She loves to help me bake and make chocolates!

Then I would move on to everything else that it does! Tattoos, t-shirts, vinyl, drawing, etc!
Oh how many things I would make with this baby! I'd probably start with holiday stuff since thats right around the corner. Also would love to etch some things in the kitchen!
