Well, it's no news that I have an AccuQuilt cutter- it's in my photos! But, this was not an easy or spontaneous purchase. I though long and hard about purchasing this "machine" to help save time and money. I can cut fabric pieces in no time and also appliques. Say goodbye to little scissors or hand cramps!
Of course I investigated price, over and over again. I am an avid scrapbooker and card maker so I though maybe I would purchase a Sizzix Sidekick and that would do the job of the applique pieces and it did..... but that doesn't come close to the Accuquilts large dies capability.
Wouldn't you know that you can cut paper in the Accuquilt too??? Who would've thought??? :) How nice it is to cut 6 layers of paper into shapes without using or storing a punch!

To Be a Stampin Up Demonstrator or not to be... That is the question!
Big life changes are heading my way! Soon we will be saying good bye to the armpit of the north east ( NJ) and hello to hush puppies and great BBQ ( NC). I am taking the opportunity to reinvent myself and really pursue a small business of my own by helping other crafters make some extra money! That idea will be blogged shortly!
My aunt is (and has been since the very beginning) a Stampin Up demonstrator. She has card class every Wednesday night and I have been attending most classes for about two years now. I love, love, love going to class and also making the cards. I have toyed with the idea of becoming a demonstrator when I move for two reasons:
1- Well, of course, the extra money!
2- Meet new people
The reasons I am hesitating:
1- Fear of buying too many supplies ( I already have a lot!) and not actually using any of the income I make on anything other than Stampin Up!
I guess even if I use the money to support my habit I would still be ahead! I would love to hear the pro's and con's if anyone would like to share!
