I would love to see dies that cut the entire A6 or A7 size cards along with marking the score line. I must be seriously paper trimmer challenged because my cut is always off by a tiny bit and it makes me crazy. Now I use my scan n cut but a die would be heaven.
I’d also like to see more word stamps and dies done vertically, especially for slimline cards. I know I could design something on my scan n cut but a stamp or die would be so much easier and faster.
So what’s on your ‘I wish they made’ list.

I think word stamps to color in would be fun. Maybe each set could have a word with interchangeable decorative frames to go around it to make one layer cards without masking.

A computer die - I like the idea of the CZ SSS “Let’s Connect” Zoom screen, but I’m not a fan of the various animals inside. I just made my own Zoom Christmas card using MFT Bitty Bears as the call participants...I made the computer screen and Zoom “windows” myself out of gray cardstock.
Having a computer screen die you could personalize — even so you could put your own photographs in the windows - would be so convenient!

Could you mask out her cute critters, then add the Bitty Bears? Although that would be a lot of masking for Christmas cards. OR, If you were careful you could use an X-acto blade and cut the critters out of the stamp, then you could always ad them back later. |

I do love the idea and some of the sentiments are so clever...I have a feeling other companies might come out with something similar soon! Fingers crossed! If not, I’ll be taking your X-acto suggestion!

So this is interesting, as when I started stamping about 18 years ago, the first stamps I bought were some sayings that were vertical. Turns out they are the hardest darn stamps to use and I literally haven't used them in 18 years. Most I believe (but don't quote me) are from Hero Arts. I still have them, maybe I will pull them out and see what I can do with them. |

I have the same problem! I have a Swingline guillotine, a Fiskars cheapie track trimmer and a Tonic mini guillotine (not the Tim Holtz, which was not available when I bought mine, sadly). I have problems with all three! Slightly off cuts...frayed paper edges...argh! Spellbinders matting basics have saved my life, but I’d love a large (up to 6.5”) square matting set. It’s not just you! It’s me, too! |

I’d also like to see more word stamps and dies done vertically, especially for slimline cards. I know I could design something on my scan n cut but a stamp or die would be so much easier and faster. Both of these tasks are so easy on the Silhouette. I haven’t used the Scan n Cut software, so I can’t compare. I use my Scan n Cut only for cutting out stamped images. It does take longer to set up the first time in the Silhouette software, but it’s still pretty quick. After that, it’s fast and easy to cut, and I can cut multiples quickly with little effort, depending on paper size. I could use the 12x24 inch mat to cut two at a time of the larger card bases. Vertical words are really easy to create in the software. Again, the extra time to create the cutting file is just a one time thing. After that, it can save you time. However, if you really want, I’m pretty sure that Accu-Cut makes steel rule dies for the sizes of card bases that you want, but you’ll need space for the bigger die cut machine. Both the machine and the dies that go with it require more room for storage. I don’t have any dies or stamps on my wish list at the moment. I was considering buying some of the slimline card dies, but instead I created what I wanted in the Silhouette software at no cost, and no need for more magnet sheets for physical storage. |

I love this design. We are having Cousin Camp by Zoom tomorrow night. I need to make a big page of a computer screen with lots of little boxes. Thanks for the idea. Now to figure out how to do it. By the way, artemisiagenx , to post the image in your comment, go to the arrow at the bottom right of your image in Flickr. As you click on it, it will allow you to chose the size you want. Make sure the highlighted url is the BBCode one, copy and go to comment and paste. |

How fun! I did the same with my cousins last week... I made the computer by cutting rectangles from gray and black cardstock and rounding the edges with my envelope punch board. The boxes were cut from a window frame die and mirror cardstock. You make such nice cards - I have no doubt that you’ll put together something great. And thanks for the Flickr help! Much appreciated. |

Are you using Recollections paper, because it is not 8.5 x 11. It's 1/16 of an inch bigger. I always have to trim it . I can't believe I never thought to measure it! I use the 110# for bases. I always have problems when I score. I thought it was me! Thank you!!! |

I would like a set of office type stamp sayings like return to sender, copy, paid. I think 7 gypsies made on but I haven’t been able to locate a set. I know a few can be found in some of the Tim Holtz sets but I want a set all in one place.
