Bought this for my granddaughter and she loves it.

I make a LOT of handcrafted greeting cards, and most of them have at least one or two die-cut trims that need to be glued down. I've been using various forms of adhesion: glue pens, glue dots, tape runners, ATG tape, Sookwang (Scor) tape, etc. But I wanted to see if there was something that would work better to stick these bits down .I got this about a week ago, and I've been trying various combinations of dies, papers, etc. Bottom line: it's a keeper. It works great for most things, and the size is sufficient for *most* of my "fussy" dies.It did take a bit of trial and error to figure out how to make it work with my most delicate dies. For example, I like use the Memory Box word dies (like this one: Love Script Die Cut // Memory Box ), which make very delicate "cursive" words. I tried cutting the word out of card stock FIRST, then running it through the Xyron. Uh .. no. This doesn't work well at all. It won't feed through the Xyron without getting tangled up, and it took several minutes to extricate all the stuck-to-itself bits. What a mess!Then, I tried cutting a rectangle of card stock about 2.25" wide by the length of the word + .5", running that through the Xyron, then cutting the word from that combination using the die and my Sizzix. Worked great! You do need to be careful when removing the backing from the die cut, but it definitely worked better than anything else I've tried.I also tried it with a delicate snowflake die cut, and again, it worked better when I adhered the paper to the Xyron tape, and then die cut the snowflake. I could get a die cut paper snowflake to feed through the Xyron without doubling and tangling, BUT I ended up with a lot of extra adhesive between the snowflake "points." Die cutting after running a square of paper through the Xyron resulted in perfectly clean snowflake "stickers."Naturally, it works just fine for less fussy die cuts: more solid shapes, tags, etc. Those you can die-cut first, then feed them through the machine. If you have several to do, try to feed them one after the other through the Xyron -- you'll end up saving more of the adhesive runner that way (less waste). However, I'll probably continue to use other glue methods with these, and save my Xyron for the fussy bits that normally require glue pen. The cartridges for the Xyron aren't cheap!It also works great for ribbon -- I like to trim a card stock mat with ribbon before sticking it down on the card front, and usually just tack the ends of the ribbon on the back of the mat. This allows the ribbon to be securely adhered to the card edge-to-edge.It's wonderful with vellum, too, as it covers the entire back of the vellum piece with adhesive.It handles things up to 2.5" wide, so if you need to glue something wider, you'll need to go up to the XRN500 or XRN510 (5" wide).I'm totally sold on this. It's definitely going to be a big help with my card making.

Easy to start using. It works well but may not be the quality I’m looking for to sell them. I need to play with it a little more. Someone suggested using the laminate sheets first which protects it. Just doesn’t have a nice clean look to it.

Works wonderfully! Now we can make our own stickers! Thanks

I purchased this for my teen daughter. She loves stickers, is a talented artist and will draw her own stickers. The sticker maker works great. No set up. Literally take out of box and use. Fool proof. I took it to the next level by purchasing self laminating sheets. My daughter will laminate her design, cut it out and feed it through the sticker maker for a more sturdy sticker. Well worth the price for any crafty sticker loving person!

This sticker maker has been so fun for my daughter. You can turn just about anything paper into a sticker. She turns photo pictures into stickers makes drawings and labels into stickers…it’s so fun!

Love this product for stickers
