Diecutters...

Ok I don't understand what diecutter is much less the machines that I've seen in the craft stores. Anyone care to elaborate? :D

The small die cutters are used for scrapbooking. Its used for stamping, embossing, and foiling. There are many different kinds. Some are computerized and you select a shape you want, some you can do custom and press and out comes an embossed shape on your scrap book supplies. The BIG Die cutting companies cut custom shapes for other companies....i.e. foam and leather covers for motorcycles.

I guess it depends on how much you like scrapbooking.

Maybe I shouldn't invest in one until I actually get starting on the scrapbooking :D

So you get different kinds of shapes like what?

It depends on what kind it is. http://cgi.ebay.com/CRICUT-ELECTRONIC-DIE-CUTTER-NIB-STARTER-SET-Provocraft_W0QQitemZ130190379132QQihZ003QQcategory Z71228QQcmdZViewItem

Like I said before, I'm not too into scrapbooking but I guess it would be for a scrap book fanatic. :)
