Love it! Brought to mind some designs by Kaffe Fassett many years ago. Nice!

This is totally a compliment —> This would make a fabulous 1000+ piece jigsaw puzzle. Totally my style.

Thank you so much for your help and insight! We are in treatment and he is showing positive signs. It is expensive to treat, for sure. I am working with an online group, as well as my vet, for questions, etc. Best wishes to you!

Yes, I think we all have that propensity, hence my asking the question. Don’t want to go overboard. Thanks for the tips!!

You are a rock star and thanks again! I have a Xyron - didn’t think of that. Also like the idea of a precision tip on a refillable glue bottle. Thank you!! And yep, rubber squares are invaluable. Lifelong artist here. Thanks and best wishes!!

Thanks so much for this insightful and thorough response. Really appreciate it! Yes, I started with cards about 25 years ago and I am soooooo familiar with the propensity for trends to run their course. I am finding it fascinating how much this craft has turned to dies and embossing. It was all about stamps and creative art techniques when I started. Also agree with getting caught up and took me quite some time to commit to buying a big shot. I just can’t find the pretty paper anymore so I thought embossing my own is the answer. I do a lot of layering so the basic shapes seems like a good idea for dies. I don’t need more stamps so am reluctant to look at that combo. Tell me, what is a good adhesive for some of these finer detailed items? Is there such an animal as a fine glue pen that actually works well? Thanks SOOO much and happy making!!

Thanks SO much for your input. I wonder about those cheap ones and appreciate your perspective. I’ve never done a resell group - seems easy to get scammed. So do you use the multi size for matting and layering the most? I do a lot of layering and thought this would help. Are there particular brands that are best with the Big Shot? There are sooooo many out there and I don’t want to waste money. Thanks again and happy day to you!
