Hi EmmaMumof2

I don't own a Bigshot Express - which is the electric version of what I have .... can I put you in touch with my mate Lisa

If you are looking at a BIGShot Express I am frightened I might tell you the wrong thing.

thanks for such a great idea, it's very kind of you to post such nice ideas! Have just bought the letters (74p in Hobbycraft) but they hadn't heard of the "Say it With Studs" self adhesive embellishments by Prima. Just wondering if you bought them online ?

oops! this post refers to your ceramic letters idea on page 1 of this thread (soz I don't know how to refer to other posts, yet )

MummysLittleBoy -

The white gel pen I use is a Uni-ball Signo - they really are the best white pens I have found - available from most good stationers - I always have a couple in my in my pen pot because I couldn't bare to be without one.

I have two other white pens from another company in my pot but they really are rubbish, blobby, poor quality writing and forever - not writing at all.

TOP TIP - if your gel pen won't write tap it on the nib end several times ... it should help the ink to flow.

But I swear by the Uni-ball ones

Thanks helen I bought 2 white pens and they are rubbish so will go and get these ones. Thanks for your help.

Hollie the box looks lovely I do love those candy canes.

I use double sided tape to attatch mine .

I have an atg gun for the tape as it saves so much time . I was hopeless at pulling the backing off the stuff on little rolls.
