If you don't have one yet, think about a Cuttlebug and one or two embossing folders.

I'm in the mood to shop too....
If you go to the gallery and type in bind it all or BIA you should be able to see projects that people have made using it. It's basically a really affordable way to make wire bound books.
The ATG is an absolute MUST HAVE and I would purchase on before anything else. (just my opinion) it's made by 3m and in the long run will save you oodles of money on adhesive.
Go back through the posts and smriti gave you a link re: nestabilities. If you have the expressions machine and the software you may be able to cut any shape you want but the nestabilities also have a nice embossing feature.

Did anyone point you in the direction of cut at home yet? They have a monthly 40% off coupon that you could use to get nesties. Here's the link:

You could get the whole set of nesties really cheap using the coupon. Have fun shopping! |

I vote for ATG. You will love it. It's a really big Adhesive dispenser that will save you money and your cards won't fall apart anymore.

Well i did it...I bought the whole circle set of nesties (scalloped and plain) I think they were $76 and i used the 40% VIP coupon from the place above.
I decided on these cause i use my bug alot and I would like to be able to do more with it instead of buying a ton of punches to boot.
Thanks everyone for your help yesterday. :-D |

framer
ATG stands for Adhesive Transfer Gun. I've been using one as a Picture framer for almost 35 years. I've had 2 of them in that time period. They last forever.
They hold 36-60 yards, depending on the type of gun you get. You can either get 3M Gold tape which is acid free, or regular tape. It is really strong tape and is great for heavier weight paper and embellishments.
