If  you viewed my previous video on  "Christmas In July Heartwarming Hugs" you will notice how I struggled with two of the dies.  Well, wonder of wonders I finally found out how they are intended to be used! Watch my video for this and also some other tips. I also go over a couple of the features of the new Stampin' Up!© website and how to do a full cup wrap, available in my Etsy Store:  Full Cup Wrap for Mini Cups I apologize for any confusion or misinformation on my initial video.

I love all the options that the dies have!  Lots of gears, a car emblem,a gasoline can, tool box and car signs.  My only wish is that it had a birthday greeting to go with it, though it does have a Father's Day sentiment.
