This was exciting, because for once, I had all of the things you suggested. It has taken a few years to acquire my must have list. Because I am disabled and stuck in bed, I have a, what I call a can't craft without it tote. It holds all the handheld tools you mentioned and stays by my bed in easy reach. Then the night stand drawer is perfect size to hold Cricut trimmer, envelope maker, and scoreboard. I consider myself very blessed. I focus on how God can use me still, instead of what I can no longer do. I love to make cards to show support and remind folks I am praying for them. I tell ya, my stamp that simply says Prayers, gets the most use of all, it comes with many lines that go along with prayers, and it came with a die to match. For me, this is a must have.

Karla Bostic Blessings from Scotland. My prayers stamps are also my most used I don't do a lot of stamps but now I'm retired and have time I'm planning on doing some stamping my husband has just made me a stamping platform tool and I'm excited to begin to use it unlike the brand name ones on sale it's 18 inches wide and deep for more flexibility I hope you continue to thank the Lord for what you can do rather than what you can't love and prayers from my home to yours

Maree, you might want to get a sheet of fun foam to put in your stamp positioner. It really helps to get better impressions for clear stamps. Not sure what he will make it out of, but another tip I learned was how beneficial the magnets can be. I have the We are Memory keeper one, because it was just over 20$ then I got 8m magnets that are 1m thick, and they fit perfectly into the wholes on the bottom. If yours doesn't have wholes to glue any magnets in, you can read up about what strength magnet you would need to get it to make it work through whatever he makes your positioner from. It will absolutely help you. 😍

'THANK YOU", Need all the help I can get. new still learning. But I have to control myself that I don't need to buy everything. I'm getting overwhelmed with stuff. Years back I was asked to get into card making, I said no, I couldn't afford it, I'd go crazy, and buy everything. Never do that.. LOL WELL ,I did it! And I was working then. Since have retired and my sewing room, now added "craft" to it, is getting quite.... small/full. I Will print out card idea sheets.. Have to do that. I get stuck on ideas of how to lay it out or what do I really want to do. THANK YOU AGAIN!

I have tried to find the housing for the scoring blade. The blades are sold at Joann's but the only place that I have found to get the housing for it is Amazon and it is, even with prime, $5 something, but shipping is $7 something. Even Cricut doesn't sell it. Such a bummer! Of course, if you want to go to the trouble you can change out your cutting blade for the scoring blade but that defeats the purpose.
