I have the mini empress handed down to me, and I really like it, yet I don’t need another machine as of now. I like the butterfly and flower kiragami dies, they are so cute!!

I am loving all of the new products. I cannot wait to get my hands on the new Empress Elite Mini. It is the perfect size to take on the road to be able to craft. Everyone have a great week and may God bless you all.

The NEW Gild Hot Foil Machine and Empress Elite Mini are going to knock pink socks off everywhere, coming to HSN on March 3d—YAHOO! AWESOME new products for a brand new creative year already out of the gate!

I already ordered the Empress Elite Mini, I cannot wait till it comes. I also ordered the Kirigami Butterfly and Flower dies to add to my collection. These will be wonderful surprises for Easter, Mother’s Day and birthday cards. I’m so looking forward to May’s Create. It will be my first Create that I will do with my daughter who introduced me to you, Anna 20 years ago!
