Hi Seashell ,
I have been crad crafting a long time 10 years or more, I like most of all dry embossing and useing punches.
At the moment my fave is the Pazzles Inspiration cutter, I can design my own embelishments on the computer and then the Pazzles will cut it out, i can also make my own stamps with it. The machine will do much more.
I will post some of the Cards I have made with it as soon as I can.
