I recently viewed a video by Creations with Christina where she used a QuicKutz Quick Stick to attach tiny layers to her card. I could not find one locally so I decided to make my own. Mine is a little different, but it works great when attaching little pieces to your cards or layouts. I wish I would of thought of this sooner! You won’t believe how easy this is to make.

Thanks for sharing and for thinking of this. Another type of tool to use would be a toothpick or a skewer. Now the ways are endless. I didn't mind your oops about the blog address, I already have it as one of my favorites.
great idea with the stylist. I made my own by putting zig two way glue on a pencil eraser works but I like that yours can pick up those really tiny pieces and you can see where they are
Wow, great idea. I searched high and low, then
ordered online to get the one Christina had... I should have seen this first.
Thank you for sharing. I have used Fun Tack and a skewer, but that was bulky. This is so much easier. I will use it for my rhinestones, etc. from now on. You are on my Favorites list.
May 8th is my 46th Wedding Anniversary. I know my husband would love for me to win this cartridges for our Anniversary! LOL!
Love your idea for the pick-up stick!
Thanks for another great and very easy tip Linda....and I agree, wish you would have thought of this sooner!.....

great tip. You can also try using a small dot of tax. Not sure of the spelling. It's the stuff that looks like clay but leaves no residue on walls or wherever it's placed. I always enjoy your videos. thank you
Thanks for such a nifty tip. This is practical and effective. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing your creativity! Happy Birthday! Mine is May 7th!
What a great idea. I even have a stylist that I don't use. Of course I have the quick stick too.
Love all your ideas.
Great idea! Love your blog...thanks!
Your idea is of course way cheaper, but the ultimate pick-up stick for me is the Pulpdent "Pic-N-Stic", which is made for the dental industry, but is also available to individuals. Thanks for sharing this idea, though.
You always come up with the best techniques. I LOVE watching your videos. Thank you for the opportunity to get this great cartridge.

Thanks for sharing your idea! I'm glad I saw your great tutorial before I bought one. Have a Great Day! inezmontemayor@yahoo.com
Great idea. Love your blog and your great ideas.
This is a great idea. I have been searching for it too in our local area and there was nothing. I will definately use this little trick. TFS
Hello and greetings from Portugal. Because craft materials are scarse here so often I have to either improvise or like you make my own. I've make a quick-stick too with a long toothpick and some tacky putty like Patafix from UHU. It's just like the real thing!
I have a quick stick and it really helps me with small pieces. Your version is wonderful. I will share it with friends. I love your blog! Thank you also for the cartridge give-a-way.
What a great idea! I too have been searching for one of these, so now I'm going to give this a try! :) Thanks so much for sharing! lindagk23ataoldotcom
What a great tip. I will be sure to use it. Have a great birthday!
You are so CLEVER!!! I have tons of stylus' around!! Thanks!

Thanks for sharing the Quick Stick tip. Easy as pie and one that will come in handy! I have the type of tweezers that you show in your video but this will work so well for those " pull your hair out" tiny ones! Thanks so much!
Thank you for the video! I have a quick stick but I am forever misplacing it and this is a very easy remedy!
I too have a May birthday!
Thank you for the chance to win a cartridge.

Great tip thanks for the video that helps to see in real time.
Duh, wish I'd thought of this. I saw Christina's video also and have searched everywhere for the QuickStik. Even online they're all sold out. Now I can save my money for other supplies. Yippee and thanks.
Wow! Great idea! Thanks for sharing.
Great idea! Wish I had seen it before I bought the quick stick. Works just as well and I love to save money!
Thanks for the much needed tip. I am new and can use all the help I can get!
You always have such great ideas and they all work! Love it. I learn so much from you! Thanks for sharing.

Hi, Linda.
What a GREAT idea! Sometimes the best solutions are the simplest. I am going to dig out a stylus right now! Thanks so much for sharing your ingenious idea. Love watching your videos and seeing your blog posts. They are very inspirational and get me to my craft room with at least a starting idea. Thanks again.

Whew, and I spend good money and waited 6 months for the QuicKuts to get here. Love your idea, love it, love it.
Thanks so much.
Wow Happy Birthday - I hope you have a wonderful day! You deserve it!
And thank you also for the chance to win such a great cartridge! I only have the 3 that came with my machine so another one sure would be nice.
