As far as I'm aware you just use them with the shapecutter at least thats what I hope as those are the ones I ordered.

do I need a separate shape cutter?

Kim I got my shapecutter yesterday I got 3 templates with it I used it to cut some flowers and an oval last night found it really easy to be honest you just hold it an draw around the shape on the template and it cuts it out I got mine free with a magazine subscription I found it much easer than trying to cut shapes by hand.

Did u just use the tool and cut the flower free hand without a template?

Hi Ladies, sorry I have just come back to 2 pages to nosey through! Fantastic cards all of you!
BunBun I love the magnolia stamped one! looks really bright and colourful.

I made up a card this morning (in a hurry so its far from good) for a little girls who is 5 today and mad on high school musical. I used deep red and gold card candy, and the images and writing are both printed out off the net.
