Hi Kristina,
Love this video!
Can you please be more specific on the question about the fast video? Do you make it fast w a special program? Or is this an option at youtube? If so, where on youtube?
Thanks a lot ;)

Hi!
Thanks for the videos...all of them!
:)
May I ask what size of the coluzzle template is?
Apparently, theres more than one...
Thanks!
Oh my, I love the KW School of Design ... thanks for all your work. Amy, Emma, Malcolm, & Liam :)
Thanks for this video. It answered alot of my questions!!! You're the best!
Here are some a couple of very important tips you need to know when using the coluzzle cutting system that you didn't mention:
TIP 1. **It is very important to make sure you are holding the coluzzle knife straight up and down the entire time while cutting.**
It is one of the biggest mistakes that people make, and it can mean the difference between frustration and success while cutting with the coluzzle.
I usually tell people to make sure hold the knife straight up and down, and not at an angle as you would an exacto knife, then just glide the knife around the track. Let the knife do the cutting and the turning for you. Don't worry about trying to turn around rounded corners. If you are holding the knife straight up and down and gently gliding around the track, it should do the turning for you.
Tip 2. **make sure you are using a sharp blade, and that it is not nicked or broken at the tip**
I have had customers bring cutting knives with broken tips to class and ask why they are having trouble cutting. If the blade is broken, nicked, or dull, it will either tear up your card stock or your template, and you will wind up frustrated and discouraged.
This started getting long, and there's a couple more tips I thought of, so i typed up a blog post on Coluzzle tips here: http://inkerbelsinklings.blogspot.com/2008/05/coluzzle-cutting-system-tips.html
hope this is helpful-

Ps- i just saw the question by kimberly, above.
The SU! circle and oval templates are the standard sizes. Coluzzle also makes companion circle and oval templates. these are designed to fit in between the standard tracks. If you cut layers using the standard templates, you will have 1/4 inch layers. Provo came out with the companions to the standard oval and circle so that you could cut 1/8 inch layers.
The standard sizes from SU! are just fine to start with. The companion templates on their own are no different, you will still get 1/4 inch layers unless you use the templates together.
Hope this makes sense.
Hi again!
I just also wanted to say that I did not mean to sound critical or in my above posts. I was just trying to add some helpful info. to your already awesome answers.
I love your blog and your color inspiration challenges. My kids watch MACM with me every week, and my dh and I got a real kick out of the your/you're debate on youtube ove the "Your name is Awesome" card-lol. Too funny.
As always, thanks for all the inspiration and info. you provide us all with!
have a great day-
Laura
SHUT UP!!! I had no idea that you designed dp and such for SU!!!! How freakin' cool?!! That must be awesome!
WOW! Thank you so much for taking the time to do this video: I love how you give clear informations that we can use by ourselves after!
I have a question for you Kristina. I was wondering how you could afford paying for all this material (paper, rub-ons, ribbon, stamps, etc.). I'm afraid it's a never-ending spending hole (I'm talking about me here :)!

Hi! I just wanted to give a quick tip about the mail. I recently picked up a free First Class Mail pricing template from the Post Office. The clerk just gave it to me. It has all the information you need for mailing letters including a thickness slot you can use to pass your letter through to see if it is too big.
Here is a picture.

I also want to thank you for all of the time you put into sharing information. You are awesome. I can't imagine you get paid for it - but you should!
