Here is a video showing the features

Widest base on the market, wire cut-line indicator, lightweight,
swing-out arm for cuts up to 15". Fiskars

Cute Card Using March Stamp of the Month

This super cute card was demonstrated by the clever Shannon Bone at our last consultant crop (yes as part of my team we get together and craft and get ready for future workshops) another advantage of being part of our team.

Highlighting this months Stamp of the Month "Choose Happy" and using the Wanderful paper pack and gypsy cardstock, the idea template came from the Originals Card Confidence Program idea book and was embossed using the Vine Embossing Folder. Cute flower cut from the Cricut Art Philosophy Cartridge and finished off with one of the cute Stuck On You Puffies and coloured with our Watercolour Pencils.
