I just got my Fuse in the mail (late-night Nyquil Amazon shopping). I am checking the blogs, Pinterest, the like...
Wondering what fun stuff you have done with yours?
Do you have the extra tips? Did/do you need them?
I like the idea...but...

I love to seal a pocket with sequins inside. It's really easy and super cute to see when you flip through an album. Here's the front of a page I did: 
and here's the back. I try to do the other side immediately so that I doesn't forget there are certain colors or seasonal sequins used.  |

alissa103, love your layouts. I've been thinking about the fuse tool just for shaker embellishments like this.

alissa103 , love your layouts. I've been thinking about the fuse tool just for shaker embellishments like this. Thanks! That was the main reason why I got it. I also thought I might make some custom sized pockets but I haven't done that. I did seal some of DS's first haircut hair into a pocket though. I made a shaker card with it when I first purchased it, but I haven't made one since. It was fun to make! |

I have a fuse tool but every time I try to use it the pockets end up looking like someone chewed them. A fuse expert I am not !

I agree with mom, above. I haven't cut or fused a straight line yet and that really bugs me...

Would it give a straight line if you used a metal/steel ruler? Just curious - because I also want one but am scared about the dog's breakfast result.

I use mine on a cutting mat with lines. I line up the page protector over the cutting mat as a guide. I use the ruler to keep that line straight. It helps to practice first. Kill a page protector and experiment. |

alissa103, your pages are beautiful! I don't have a Fuse tool, and don't plan on getting one, but if I did I would totally do a sequin pocket!

I made an adorable birthday card after watching this Jennifer McGuire video I scratched the code before I sealed it so mom wouldn't have to rip it open to use the gift card online. |

That is such a great idea. I cannot for the life of me figure out why 17 people have given it a thumb's down. Really? |

Right? Maybe just a misclick?

Sometimes I wonder HOW these things do not occur to me. I was using the slot in the steel ruler, but hadn't thought to line up a lined cutting mat below. Thanks, Flibbertigibbet!

I've mostly used mine to seal edges after cutting down different sized page protectors (12x12 to 9x12, etc), but plan to do some shaker pockets in my December Daily album  |

There is no way I could include it in an album. I'd be too embarrassed. |

Now I want one, although I'm not sure I'll be able to get a straight line.

I just bought mine today. A 50% off coupon from M's and a gift card (thanks to DH!) and that baby was mine.
I plan on doing some serious playing tomorrow.
