The Wishblade is an incredible tool for die cut-a-holics! You can cut ANY TRUE TYPE FONT ON YOUR COMPUTER if you have Microsoft Word!!! You heard me right, ANY TRUE TYPE FONT! The possibilites are endless - I've cut 1/4" high letters! And you can size anything up to 8" tall and 39" long. So I invested $655 to purchase the "advanced" version of the WB, but I NEVER, EVER need to buy another die set again! Plus it saves SOOOO much time! No more punching out all those letters. It is easier on your hands too LOL. This product will change the die cutting industry. Anyone can learn more about this amazing tool at the Yahoo Group, Wishblade Cafe. You will be drooling before you know it  For those that are a little confused, the Wishblade is the size of a small personal printer. It acts like a printer, except that instead of INK to print, it has a BLADE to cut!
Most ladies on the yahoo group say their blades last about 6 months to a year. Replacement blades are $40. You also use a "cutting mat" that is around $20, but you can actually "wash" it and use it for a very long time.
This machine is good for the long term - no follow up investment required! Plus the technical support at Wishblade Corporate is EXCELLENT!
Mail me if you have any questions.

I bought the Wishblade when it was $695, and STILL say that it is worth every penny I paid for it. Now the price has dropped and the functionality is ten fold what it was. You can cut any TTF installed on your computer, along with any image that you can find anywhere. I drag mine to longer crops with my laptop, but it sits on my desk in between. It is very easy to use and not that difficult to get to know. You must have a computer hooked up to it and an SD card reader, but I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants a good solid die cutting system that is infinitely flexible. It is a bit loud, but once you get used to it, it's not a big drawback. I have one and LOVE mine and I'd be glad to share any info about it if you want to pop me an e-mail!

The Wishblade is the most incredible tool I have ever used! It has completely revolutionized the die cutting market. For the money Wishblade is such a value, with it's ease of use and limitless possiblilites. Don't spend hundreds of dollars on cartridges or disks...use the fonts and clip art you already have! The Wishblade also has an extensive support community online that takes away any of the guesswork from simple font cutting to tracing shapes and designing your own images to tips and tricks to make your blade and carrier mat last longer and advanced tutorials on creating joined titles and mats, plus file sharing groups that swap their own shape files. I promise you will never regret purchasing the Wishblade!!!
