[@IntoThatGreatGoodNight]

Well, it is 7am on the east coast and I just spent $100 on cutters….. and somehow I don’t care 😜🤣. Merry Christmas to me! I love watching your work (you’re calm and explain in detail without being confusing - and obviously not AI, which I _really_ appreciate!). Soooo looking forward to more videos! (And unique cutters! Wish you sold the template from the beginning.

[@RockroseClay]

Thank you so much for your support and kind words! 😊 I’m thrilled you're excited about the cutters, and Merry Christmas to you! 🎄 It means a lot to hear that my tutorials feel clear and calming-your feedback really brightened my day. I did include an image of the Skinner Blend template I used in the tutorial on the blog post, so feel free to check it out there if you would like! I hope you love creating with your new cutters and thank you very much for your order! Stay tuned for more unique designs and tutorials! 💖 Happy creating!

[@karentrevail4142]

My favorite!!!!

[@RockroseClay]

Yay! So glad you loved this one! 😊 It's one of my favorites too-such a fun technique to get that abalone look. Thanks so much for watching!

[@deboday5490]

These are absolutely gorgeous and right up my alley! What is the name / where did you get the Deburring tool? I have a manual one that doesn't do a great job and takes awhile but I have spinal cord injuries in my neck that affect my wrists and hands so using it for more than one or two kills them. TY for sharing this tutorial with us!

[@RockroseClay]

Thank you so much! I’m thrilled to hear these earrings are your style. 😊 The deburring tool I used in the tutorial is a Beadalon Bead Reamer with a Beadalon Wire Rounder Burr attachment. I purchased mine on Amazon. The bead reamer is battery operated so it is a bit easier on the hands to deburr wire. I can imagine how tough it must be on your wrists and hands, especially with spinal injuries. This one might make a difference, as it requires less pressure to use. I hope it helps, and thank you for watching-wishing you all the best with your crafting! 💖

[@deboday5490]

​@RockroseClay TYSM for the burr info, just placed my order, i have several earwires on earrings i bought that are sharp plus a few I've made myself from wire so I'm eager to try these.

[@RockroseClay]

You're so welcome! 😊 I’m thrilled the info was helpful! Fixing up those earwires will definitely make a difference-I’m sure they’ll be so much more comfortable to wear. Happy creating, and enjoy your new tools! ✨

[@deboday5490]

​@RockroseClay thank you again!

[@renukanair6457]

Oh my goodness!!! This is beautiful and you are amazing! A very well instructed tutorial. Thank you a million. I do have a question in regard to the template you created. I printed it but am not very clear on the correct dimensions of the template. The template I printed on paper is 4 3/4 inch across and 2 inches in height. Is that correct? I would really love to emulate the way you have shown us. Please advise and thank you again!

[@RockroseClay]

Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m so glad you enjoyed the tutorial. 😊 The dimensions of the template I used are 6" across and 3" in height. I do have an Atlas 180, which has a slightly wider opening than the Atlas 150, so if you’re using a 150, you might need to adjust the width of the template to fit your machine. I hope this helps, and I can’t wait to see how your project turns out! Feel free to tag me if you share it on social media. 🐚✨

[@renukanair6457]

@ Thank you! I will send you a photo, for sure!

[@renukanair6457]

Good evening, I am sad to say that I went on the Rockrose website to buy the cutters that you used but saw that you do not ship to Canada. Please let me know if there is another way to order the starlight cutters. Thank you, Renuka

[@RockroseClay]

@@renukanair6457 Good evening, Renuka! Thank you so much for your kind words and for your interest in the Starlight cutters-I truly appreciate your support. I noticed you’ve subscribed to my newsletter, which means so much to me. I’m currently working on setting up international shipping this weekend so I can offer my cutters to customers in Canada and beyond. As a thank-you for your patience, I’ll send you a unique discount code via email once everything is ready, just for you. I’ll keep you updated! 😊
