before you buy any available cartridge out there!

know which cartridges your honey can get you for Christmas
;-)

with the simple click of a mouse! What you see is what you
cut!!! Create phrases that string together. Blend images
from multiple cartridges to make your own Creative Features!
The sky truly is the limit to your creativity!
- Search and find quickly and easily any image within the
Library.
- Share designed projects with family and friends. Just send
them your final file and they can take it from there. They
still have to have purchased the actual cartridge to cut as
well, but this is a great way to spread great projects and
ideas around! In fact, we’ll be emailing some custom
projects out in the weeks to come highlighting specific
cartridges.

away in a matter of minutes!
