Hi!
When I worked at my church, we purchased an Ellison Die Cut machine
http://www.ellison.com/corporate/EVERY teacher in Sunday school and the school the church ran loved us

No more cutting out letters ! We had 8 large BB's in the main foyer and we rotated the ministries that used them monthly, so the gals who did them had a month to look at what we had available and order their cut outs....the boards went from being basically ignored to oooed and ahhhed over
There are many MANY cut outs available, and some craft stores have them to use when you purchase their paper (they also have a small home version for scrappers)
NO, i do not represent Ellison 
, I just always thought it was a great tool for any ministry to have available! And fun, my older kids used to love to help me cut out stuff, which was great for VBS (we used them for name tags and such)
Hope that helps sosmeone!
