Beware: if you aren't a crafter or just a husband of an avid crafter
I purchased this sizzix stamping tool as a surprise for my crafty wife for christmas. I went to great lengths to keep it a secret. I had to even contact scrapbook to change the address so it would stay secret. I was watching a Comercial for the tool when she had said how cool it was because her stamping skills suck and it was very cool to be able to stamp in a circle. I was so excited to watch her open it. We were visiting away from home when she did she was so happy. I said that she needs to use it because they keep sending me emails for a review!! Sadly when we returned home and she took it out of the box she couldn't use it because she doesn't own the original part needed to use this one. I was devastated to have disappointed both of us. We had seen the same Comercial but we didn't understand it needs a base and is completely useless without it. Plus the item needed cost as much and is just as hard to find right now. It's going to be disappointing a bunch of people. Unless you read this.
