Thank you so much for your video. I am getting married in July and wanted to have pressure embossed stationary for it. I looked into what it cost to get it done professionally and drew the conclusion I could not afford it. I got a do-it yourself bride book and saw how easy it was. I set out to find the supplies and found that the old light box system I read about has virtually been abandoned. I was so confused about the difference between the ShapeBoss and the Scrapboss and which to buy. I found your video and they way you showed the products was so helpful in telling the difference and see how it worked. I appreciate it so much. Thank you so much you saved me so much time and money.
