    Hi bunbun, I don't own one but do use one when making wedding stationery as the glue is stronger and holds metal or heavy embellishments in place really well. I have had several accidents though with burning hot glue getting on my fingers :rolleyes:

    I've figured out how to use my creative cutter, and have made my first card using it:
    S1050759.jpg

    It's perforated so that the right-hand part of the card separates to be used as a bookmark - and as it's for my mum, I think she'll forgive the handwriting :D
    some people grin and bear it, others smile and do it :)
