I’m often asked what additional items should be purchased or kept on hand at all times to use with the Inspiration. I would love to make a list that included all of our tools, several packs of vinyl (we have some amazing colors, you should check them out!) every color of rhinestone and our CD’s too. We all know it’s not necessary to have all those things, but wouldn’t it be nice!? By just keeping the basics on hand you’ll never be in a pinch.

Spring isn’t here yet, but if you saw my closet you would all be telling me, “Tatum, it’s time to do some spring cleaning”! The problem is that as soon as I throw something away, it’s just a few short weeks or days later that I need it again. This happens with clothes, recipes, newspapers, you name it — I hate throwing things away but I struggle to keep it all organized! In my attempt to do some spring cleaning on my computer here at work, I was able to find a document on the pressure settings that I use for specific materials. I was also pleasantly surprised when Amanda pointed out to me that we have a similar document with many more materials and they are all neatly organized.

It’s pretty easy to get discouraged when it comes to technology. In a fast paced world we expect everything to run at lightning speed. However, that’s not always the case when it seems technology can often times have a mind of its own.

I’ll admit that almost all of my knives I use for preparing dinner at home need to be sharpened. I could barely cut through a tomato last night for dinner which got me thinking about the Inspiration blades. Yes, even though I may go home at the end of the day, my brain is still “Pazzling”. With a job this fun, it’s a pretty easy thing to do! To extend the life of your blade and get better cutting results, you’ll have to check out our Cutter Glide product.

I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I was very excited to process so many orders through the Christmas season. New orders mean new customers who help contribute to our wonderful community of Inspiration users here in the Craft Room. So with new customers comes an array of new questions. While this may seem like a beginner question to some, it’s also a great question to remind our seasoned Inspiration users of as well.
