I used a Brother Scan N Cut to create die cuts for both the sentiment and the sentiment mat. It does take hours to create files to us. It's not for the faint of heart.

* A must have! I'm frugal so when I found gold adhesive rhinestones at the Dollar Twenty-Five Tree, I had to buy them. Well....when I tried to separate them, the glue pulled away. The Take a Pick Tool made my life easier. The putty on the tip picks up the rhinestone (any embellishment) instead of your fat fingers.
