I would also suggest by the little "X" sticker maker from xyron to use on any letters you cut out. It is so much easier than trying to put adhesive on the backs of all the letters after you cut them out.

thanks for that info!

I agree - I did buy the spatula and it did come in handy getting the letters off the sticky mat. I looked at the Tool Kit today but didn't think it would be to useful so I left it at the store. Glad to hear from others that I can live without that. I did pick up a package of cutting mats today(I always like extras around) but wouldn't be necessary right away. I"m waiting for my other cartridges to arrive so I can experiment some more with it. Enjoy!!

I already had the X sticker maker and it's great. I've found that if I put the letters in the sticker maker as soon as I cut them out, I don't lose them(especially if I don't intend to use the right away). But be sure to get the repositionable refills - I love being able to put the letters down and then move them around if I need to.

I went on the action site (like Ebay but an Aussie owned one) and got the Xyron 250 with 2carts for $23 including postage that is a savings of about $30.

I will check out that link and see if they ship to Australia but I know Cricut has a 20% off price if you join up and buy from them. If I was to do that it would make them about $95 Australian which is very cheap compared to our prices for carts here- $160 each.

I didn't think about makin' things into stickers
