Die cut stickers are stickers that are cut to a special shape, like this AllTop sticker. A special tool is made from a block of wood and steel rule. This tool is called a die tool. The die tool is setup with the same layout as the previously printed sheets of stickers. Great care is taken to make sure the steel rules are aligned properly within the die. Rubber needs to be added to the die so that the stickers dont get caught in the tool while cutting. Glue is applied to the inside surface and a thick rubber sheet is pressed into the die. A final check is done to ensure that the previously printed sheets of stickers and the final die will align properly on the die-cutting press The die is now mounted on the die-cutting press. Great care is taken to be sure the die and the printed sheets of stickers will align properly. A single test sheet is used to check the final setup so that any last minute adjustments can be made. All of the previously printed sheets of AllTop stickers are now loaded into the machines automatic feeder. A series of suction tubes and steel grippers grab one sheet at a time and place it on the cutting surface. Each sheet is cut individually and placed to the side. A single cut by this cutting machine frees the stickers for the next step. The die-cut stickers are now punched out by hand and a simple rubber band keeps the stacks in order. And thats how die-cutting is done at StickerGiant. Find out more on our blog: www.stickergiant.com

If you are just getting started in scrapbooking, it is best to own a set of basic punches. Punches are the most versatile die cutting tool. But if you are ready for more! of everything - styles, tools, cost (lol) it is time to consider a die cutting machine. For most scrapbookers, the Sizzix sidekick will be the only die cutting tool you really need. Need, not want!! lol It's hard to beat the cost, portability and options for a beginner. And all the dies you buy for the Sidekick will work in larger, more expensive die cutting machines as well. So you won't waste your money II recommend starting with Clearlits. Cuttlebug, Spellbinders, Quickutz will work IF SMALL ENOUGH TO FIT! Thanks for watching and visit me at LoveToCreateMemories.blogspot.com

Do you love creating custom scrapbooking layouts or paper crafts? Do you get tired of searching through craft store after craft store, looking for that perfect set of punches? Are you tired of having to store hundreds of punches so that you'll have what you need when you need it?

Look no further; there is a Scrapbooking and stamping product for you! The Cricut (pronounced like cricket) is a personal electronic cutting system manufactured by Provo Craft, a leader and innovator in scrapbook materials and designs.

The Cricut is an independent system, which means you don't need a computer or printer in order to make the Cricut operate. Cricut cartridges are inserted into the Cricut machine so that the user can print out die cuts.

What exactly is a Cricut Cartridge?

A Cricut Cartridge is much like a computer disk or jump drive; it holds and stores die cut information. When you insert a Cricut Cartridge into your Cricut system, you can choose from any of the die cuts saved on that Cricut Cartridge to print out.

Cricut Cartridges come in different themes, such as "Christmas Cheer", "Disney's Mickey and Friends", "Calligraphy", "Storybook Creations", and "50 States Cartridge".

Once you've chosen the die cut you wish to make from the die cuts on the cartridge, you simply add the paper that you want the die cut formed on and your die cut is made in seconds!
Who can benefit from a Cricut and Cricut Cartridges?

Of course, the Cricut is ideal for any scrapbooker who wants to make her life easier. After all, having access to hundreds of die cuts enables a scrapbooker to make limitless Scrapbooking layouts and die cuts. But who else can use Cricut Cartridges?

Well, anyone who enjoys making paper crafts will find that using the Cricut is a simple way to create custom cards and other paper crafts with hundreds of options.

Embellishing die cuts is a great way to add dimension and quality to handmade cards. Teachers can use Cricut for art projects, bulletin boards, and object lesson tangibles. Anyone who regularly makes crafts, such as retirement home workers, preschools, kids clubs, Sunday school teachers, and home school moms, will find that having a Cricut system enables them to be more creative and cost-effective in their crafts projects.

Because the Cricut is so simple to use, people find that their craft, scrapbook, or card project takes far less time and turns out far better than if they hadn't used the Cricut.

Getting Started with the Cricut and Cricut Cartridges

Once you've made the decision that purchasing a Cricut and Cricut cartridges is the right move for you, you'll want to decide which Cricut cartridges to start with.
