What is your newest, latest, coolest tool you have bought that you can't live without!

[Doris Parker]

I love my Gypsy. This is my latest.  I take it everywhere I go.  I make sure it is always charged. so I never have to worry.

 

What is yours???  and if able - tell us what company you bought it from.. just in case we decide we can't live without it as well :)

My sizzix big shot isn't my newest tool but it's certainly one of the most useful!  The Blossom Petals punch from Stampin' Up! is another one I can't live without

I am just becoming friends with my gypsy as well.  I have had it for about a year, but have really only learned to use it in the last month or two.  I didn't like it at all when I first got it, but I am now learning to love it! 

[Doris Parker]

Emily.. If I may, Emma with mycreativetime has excellent videos on understanding all the features.  This is where I finally "got it" for my gypsy.

 

I see she is a member here now as well....

Thanks Doris!  I have watched some of her gypsy videos and they are so helpful :)  I need to finish watching the rest though! 

[Doris Parker]

glad you watched them.  They are very helpful for go backs...  I tend to do a review.

Although I love my cricut and gypsy and imagine. I have seen so many cute SVG's out there and wanted a machine to cute them so I got an ecraft!! It just arrived tuesday afternoon and I am still getting the hang of it but I gotta say it is a really amazing machine so far! I love the design it is almost half the height of the imagine and what is cooler is that the pen and blade are in the same housing so no need to stop to switch. Also they carrry vinyl in a roll and it attaches to the machine allowing you to cut ANY length of Vinyl!! I will be updating as I go along!

That sounds really cool.  I may have to look at that :)

I know it sounds so silly - but I just don't get the downloading and cutting of the SVG's...  I know it just be me.  I mean... I understand the concept of it just the actual downloading and then the cutting.   I tried downloading once and never did find the file again.    Do you have a site that is really easy to "understand'.. probably such an easy thing but.....

[Erika Valdez]

It really is easy to download svgs I made a folder that says SVGs and everyfile I download I send to that folder that way it is easy for me to find it. Then when you go into the MTC it has a little bottom that says import SVG and you click it and you go to that folder pick out the svg you want and there you go! It really is a lot  like using your gypsy you can weld, move images around on it, resize. I am really likeing it so far!

[Doris Parker]

thanks :)

[Amy Thompson]

I agree with you. I've been using svg files with my expression. It's kind of hard for me to use. I love being able to use my gypsy and unfortunately you can't do that with svg files.

How do you like the ecraft, I am trying to decide which to buy the ecraft or sillhouette (don't know if that is how it is spelled but oh well, LOL!)
