I live in Tempe, Arizona with my husband of 23 years and we have two sons, ages 22 and 20. I have a BS and MS in Chemical Engineering from Texas A&M and worked for Exxon in Texas for 7 years before having my first child. After my boys were born, I became a dedicated stay-at-home mom. Once they were both in school, I split my time between volunteering at my sons’ schools and having part-time software support jobs.
My aunt convinced me to try scrapbooking in 1998 and I became instantly addicted. And then, when the first Craft Robo die cutters were released in the USA, I found an entirely NEW passion… digital die cutting. That grew even more after the Klic-N-Kuts were released and I was very honored to be hired by Accugraphic Sales, Inc to write the user manuals for the Klic-N-Kuts and ACS cutters.
I provide support for Klic-N-Kut, ACS, Silhouette, Craft Robo, and Wishblade. I’ve created a series of videos for KNK Studio, KNK Studio GE, ACS Design Studio, and Design Master. I plan to continue expanding the videos to cover more cutters and more software topics. I teach classes by phone / VNC to cutter owners everywhere and teach at KNK Retreats around the country several times a year. That’s another great passion I have… the love of teaching and helping others learn their cutters. Very satisfying.
I want to thank the following wonderful people for their contributions and hard work to support my business:
Will the Klick N Kut Element that is being offered for sale on your website cut Rhinestone templates?
That machine has been sold, but the answer is definitely “yes”. All of the KNK’s (past and present) will cut the various rhinestone rubbers used to make templates.
Do you know of any other used Klick N Kut’s for sale? I would like to get started making stencils. I am currently using transfers.
Do you have a contact number? I would like to talk to you about your software/knk.
It appears that Accugraphic has a refurbished Maxx right now… http://www.knkusa.com. I don’t take calls on weekends but you can email me and we can set up a time to talk on Monday.

My husband purchased me a Klic n Kut sometime ago. We started renovations on our house and I have yet to use it. I would not even know where to begin. He purchased it from Paper Threads. I have only used a Cricut in the past. I am very anxious to get started. With the help of my sister in law we tried to hook it up over the weekend and we were unsuccessful I think it’s because I am running the office2007 package. Can you tell me what I need to do to learn how to use this wonderful machine.
Thank you so much
Donna
Donna, if your KNK was purchased from Paper Threads, Michelle will provide you free instruction on setting it up and learning it! If she cannot do it for some reason, then I sell classes in my store here. Consider purchasing a 90 minute class and in that 90 minutes, I can teach you everything you need to know about operating your KNK and will have you cutting cardstock shapes by the end of the class. Note: Office 2007 is not related to KNK and will not affect your setup, however there are quite a few settings that you need to go over. Depending on which KNK you purchased and your Windows operating system, you may need an additional converter cable for 64 bit communication.
Hi Sandy,
I purchased a used KNK Element (that you kindly listed for the owner here). Unfortunately, I just do not have the time to craft and the machine is sitting in my craft room unused. Do you know of anyone looking for a gently used machine?
Please feel free to email me privately to discuss.
Thanks so much,
Michelle
