Are you ready for this? DCWV booth was incredible! Geez- What their designers can do with paper is amazing to say the least! Their new paper stacks are gorgeous pattern paper stacks with coordinating card stock stacks! I felt like I was walking through a tropical paper paradise!

Check out these pictures!

See what I mean? Here are some examples of the new Paper Stacks:

I apologize that my pictures do NOT do these gorgeous papers justice! You will just have to see them in person. I can tell you right now that I will have to have them all!

I hope you all have a great weekend! Come back next week for more from CHA!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

How many times have I said that I love, love, love Die Cuts With A View paper stacks? Well then, I won’t say it again, but you get the idea! Not only do they have absolutely gorgeous patterns and color, but the weight is fabulous for almost any project! Whether you are making layouts, cards or altered projects, it is wonderful to work with! I also love the coordinating stack concept.

While we were at CHA Marcie took some video of some of the new DCWV products! Wow! My hats off to their incredible designers! Their artwork continues to inspire paper crafters world wide. I just watched a YouTube video of designers in Indonesia who created dresses for live models using DCWV paper! Incredible! DCWV also had items featured on the Today Show as part of a dorm room make-over. Way to go! If they are getting that kind of attention world wide, that says a lot to me. They have  Class A products and we are honored to carry them for our awesome customers!

Here’s some videos with some of the latest releases. You should be able to get some ideas!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

It’s that time of year when school bells are ringing and yellow buses are back on the road and homework is part of the nightly routine. Mom’s are exhausted just trying to get the kids out the door and peanut butter is a staple for sack lunches. Before you sent the kids out the door for the first time, you will want to capture the first day on your camera and we have all the needed products that will help you scrapbook those school day memories! Just check out our School category!

Graphic 45  An ABC Primer Collection is shipping now! A happy-go-lucky paper collection that pays homage to the vintage schoolhouse and classic nursery rhymes of times gone by. Recall fond memories from a simpler time when learning took place in a one-room schoolhouse, and cozy afternoons were spent studying the three Rs: reading, writing and arithmetic. This collection includes :

An ABC Primer 12×12 Paper Pad, An ABC Primer 8×8 Paper Pad, An ABC Primer Chipboard Tags 1, An ABC Primer Chipboard Tags 2, and stamp sets in collaboration with Hampton Arts-An ABC Primer 1, An ABC Primer 2 and An ABC Primer 3.

DCWV‘s Grade School Paper Stack  and Grade School Mat Stack are perfect for younger kids, and the High School Mat Stack is stylin’ for the older ones!

QuicKutz offers a large variety of school related dies that can help you embellish pages for all of your children from Pre-School – Collage!

I no longer have young school age children but if I can give any advise, it would be to record those days as soon as possible because you don’t remember things like you think you will and you don’t get any more time once they leave! There are still only 24 hours in a day and other things will fill in that time before you know it (like grandchildren)!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

I have had the opportunity to “test drive” a few of the brand new Spellbinders Edgeabilities dies and I believe that you are going to be just as pleased with these dies as the rest of your Spellbinders collections! The Edgeabilities are so versatile in that once you buy all 6 sets, you can mix and match to make over 75 different designs for your paper crafting projects! See all NEW Spellbinders Edgeabilities Video!

I  decided to use the Classic Postage Stamp Edgeabilies on my scrapbook layout with one of the decorative inserts. Each set comes with one cutting edge and two decorative inserts that are easily interchangeable because of their 1″ spacing.   It is nice that the length of the dies are 8″ even though I still had to run it through twice for cutting and twice for embossing to be able to get the whole 12 x 12page length.  It made it easier to place so that I could cut all the way across! The possibilities are endless with these dies!

The other items I used in this layout are as follows:

Graphic 45 products:

The Magic of Oz 12 x 12 paper pad

The Magic of Oz Chipboard Die-cuts 1

Spellbinders products:

Postage Stamps (2011 CHA summer release)

Donna’s Alphabet by Donna Salazar (2011 CHA summer release)

QuicKutz products:

Nesting Stars (2011 CHA summer release)

Nesting Scallop Rectangles (2011 CHA summer release)

Whirlpool Alphabet

Castle

DCWV Shimmer Mat Stack

I know that you will have a blast creating with these new dies whether you are in to scrapbooking or card making! They are also great for alternative paper crafts! Spellbinders designer Heidi Blankenship showed me how she used wool felt with the Edgeabilities at CHA! So fun! Now I have to get some of that and share the tip with you!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

I have been given the assignment of blogging about my favorite booth at CHA. It is really a tough decision because there were so many that were outstanding! So, I guess that I would have to tie Die Cuts With A View  and Graphic 45! Their booths were very different from each other, but both teams put tremendous effort into their booths to draw retailers and  spotlight their latest products. I was literally in awe of the inspiration that their design teams  shared with us!

DCWV was the first booth we saw, front and center, as we walked through the entrance! With their theme Christmas Morning, they captured my feelings as I viewed all the shiny new products in the convention center! It was like Christmas to me! All of their trees and presents were made from various paper pads, the cozy fire in the fireplace and living room setting, their prize buck mounted on the wall were  all made from their paper products!

I had the privilege of meeting several women on their team, including Erin who writes their Blog! They are all wonderful women and I had so much fun in their booth!

  Can you see what I mean? So warm and cozy that I could   have sat in the rocking chair and taken a nice long nap!

Graphic 45 had decorated other elements that I have a passion for- antiques (or at least faux antiques) with their incredible paper lines!  Their team was delightful and dressed in costumes featuring The Magic of Oz release, with Diane dressing as Dorothy for their daily drawing, and the Wicked Witch the rest of the day. In my personal opinion, she is way to sweet to be the Wicked Witch and way to classy! They were so busy that I wasn’t able to snap any pictures of them alone!

What did I tell you? Both are just so impressive that I just could not make a decision on one! I hope that you have enjoyed seeing a peak of the show! The creative energy was flowing through Chicago for sure! Have a great weekend!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

We’re here! Marcie and I are in Chicago at Craft and Hobby Association Show which we commonly know as CHA. We have been busy as bees going from booth to booth gathering information on all of the “latest and greatest” products and ordering from all our favorite designers so we can bring you highest quality, popular products on the market!  I can tell you now that you are going to love what is coming!

Here’s a shot of Marcie while visiting the Graphic 45 booth! Say Cheese!

Graphic 45 has done some amazing projects with their new paper lines. Here’s a sample of the Christmas Emporium and ABC Primer!

Heartfelt Creations made beautiful paper bouquets that look quite real!

We saw the new line of Nesting Dies from QuicKutz and Framelits from Sizzix. The new Nestaboard from Want2Scrap is HOT! Just Rite Stampers also has great  new stamp sets that coordinate with Spellbinders dies! Teresa Collins is not only talented, but stylish! We also visited My Mind’s Eye, Provo Craft and Silhouette .Everyone is on board and excited to bring you what’s new!

I hope that you have taken a few minutes to look at all the rest of the pre-order dies from Spellbinders that were made viewable this morning! Astounding!

This may be the best CHA release to date! Of course, since this is the first show that I have been to, it is the most exciting one for me! I am having a blast here in Chicago! It is most definitely a paper crafter’s heaven! Can’t wait until tomorrow for more exciting products from DCWV, Tim Holz, and anyone else that catches our eye!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’ from Chicago!

Wow! I can’t believe that it is already Friday! May is speeding by super fast! Of course, with all the cool, rainy weather we have had in Utah, it doesn’t feel like spring yet! That is a good thing when it comes to waiting  for the latest items that have been released this month! I  just want to stay inside where its warm and play with the latest stamp sets from Just Rite Stampers! They are amazing as usual!

The cards below are made using the Smile Set. You receive four 2″ design centers with four extra wide borders, for a total of 3 1/4″. You will need the 3 1/4″ Wood Stamper.

This stamp set coordinates with the Spellbinders Standard Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Large, Classic Scalloped Circles Small, Big Scalloped Circles Large, and Big Scalloped Circles Small Nestabilities.

DCWV Natural Mat Stack, Natural Solid Cardstock Mat Stack, Just Rite Stampers Smile Set, Spellbinders Classic Circles Large, Want2Scrap Nestabling Heart Circles BrownR. Add a flower by Petaloo and some brass embellishments!

Spellbinders Labels Sixteen, Classic Circles Large, DCWV Linen Closet Mat Stack, Linen Closet Solid Cardstock Mat Stack, 1/8″ Scor-Tape, chalk and ribbon.

Making the perfect card is so easy with stamps! What in the world did we ever do without them? I think I have blanked that out on purpose because I don’t ever want to go back to life without them!

Have a great weekend!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

BTW- Sizzix wanted us to let you know, after seeing yesterday’s BLOG, that you can also make the Soda Can Hair Bows with the Bigz Dies in the Big Shot Machine! Good to know! Thanks for the tip!

Wow! Mother’s Day is right on our doorstep! Can you believe it? I can’t! I feel like we just barely had Easter…oh wait, we did! I don’t know about you, but I had better get crackin’ on a gift for Mom!

My mom is a scrapbooker, so she would like just about anything that has to do with scrapbooking! Why don’t you come shopping with me to see what I can find that would make great gifts for her special day!

She has tons of pictures to still put in albums as she has 10 children (I am the oldest) and 34 grandchildren, so I think I will start with the basics. Paper! She has 7 sons and lots of grandsons, so the All About Boys Paper Stack from DCWV or Alphabet Soup Boy from My Minds Eye are a great start for the boys! A Proper Gentleman 8×8 by Graphic 45 works well for all of her masculine photos.

For the feminine side, we will start with DCWV All About Girls Paper Stack,  Blossoms and Butterflies Paper Stack, Garden Party Paper Stack, or Pocket Full of Posies Paper Stack to name just a few!

She has a Cuttlebug, and loves die cutting! Let’s move over to the dies to see what we can find! Spellbinders dies are always a perfect gift! She and I have very similar taste, so I think I will go with a couple of my favorites! Labels Twenty, Lacey Circles, Lacey Squares, Lacey Ovals (okay, so I like lacey!), Floral Doily Accents and Floral Doily Motifs as well as the Parisian Accents and Parisian Motifs! Well, that is more than a couple, but maybe we can keep some of these in mind for her birthday or Christmas! I could shop forever in Spellbinders!

She would love Quickutz Anime Monkey to scrap some of her younger grandchildren! Or the Mixing Bowl and Spoon for those moments making cookies with the grandkids!

Heartfelt Creations, Just Rite Stampers and Sparkle N Sprinkle all have stamps that are fabulous to give her or buy for myself to make her card with! They all have stamps that coordinate with Spellbinders dies! Want2Scrap has Nestabling to go with!

Whew! This shopping trip could last a long time if we got into the nitty-gritty of adhesives, embossing folders, foils, flowers, etc.! I think I will let you shop for yourselves now! I have a pretty good idea of what I will end up with! Have fun!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Paper, paper and more paper! It is the foundation of Paper Crafting, right? Right! We have to have paper before we can do anything else in our chosen hobby! Die Cuts With A View is constantly producing enticing Paper stacks, Mat Stacks and Cardstock Stacks to suite our individual and unique needs! They are in the business to bring us the essentials of our trade!

I love DCWV paper for several reasons. Their use of color is very appealing to the eye, they have a variety of weight and texture, as well as themes!

I want to point out a few examples! As summer time is approaching Endless Summers 12 x 12 Paper Stack offers  vivid color pages (some glittered) perfect for vacation photos to the tropics, lazy days at the beach, travel, or play in the back yard pool!

Of course, there are countless opportunities for backyard bar-b-ques and pool parties with lots of food! Thus, we have The Snack Stack 12 x 12 paper stack! Yummy pages of brownies, gummy bears, cookies and popcorn, as well as healthier snacks like Kiwi, rasberries, and glittered cherries fill this stack for you to create memories of those special parties with family and friends!

If you are the outdoorsy type, then the gloss and glitter of the Premium Photo Stack will catch your eye! 12 x 12 pages filled with palm leaves, daisies, snow covered trees, water, clouds, you name it! There are even pages of diamond plate for you to mount your photos of that prize 4×4!

If wedding bells are ringing in your ears then the Luxury 2 paper stack has to be part of your scrapbook trousseau! Very Elegant, the rich pearl and metallic colors along with flourish and damask patterns make this a must have for those formal occasions coming up!

These are just a few suggestions to get you going for summer! With all the invitations for social events coming, the crafter inside still needs to take a few moments of quiet time to relax and create!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

It always amazes me when we receive new product like the new Just Rite Stampers new stamp sets! The designs just keep getting better and better! Their ideas and talent entice us to break our resolve of “not spending another dime on our hobby until we’ve used what we already have”! How can we stay away? WE CAN’T! Of coarse, we never really were committed to that stupid resolve anyway! There are just to many wonderful new products coming out that inspire our creativity!

The latest from Just Rite include Charmed, Birdhouses, Heart to Heart, Hugs to You, and more, including Elegant Frames and Birthday Celebrations which I used on the projects below. These stamp sets coordinate with Spellbinders dies to create a fabulous stamped image!

For more info on what stamp sets go with what dies, we have Just Rite and Spellbinders Compatibility Charts on our BLOG page that will help you! I just love compatibility charts! They are so helpful!

Now on to our projects for the day!

As mentioned, I used the Birthday Celebrations for this first example. I used markers to color the image, then cut it out using a template from Spellbinders Standard Circles #6 die. I placed it over the #4 die from the Eyelet Circles set cut from the DCWV Whimsy Mat Stack which is also what I used for the rest of the card. I applied 1/8″ Scor-Tape around the circle and between patterns on the card and applied puckered 1/4″ ribbon.  If I had a brain last night (which I didn’t) I would have run the ribbon through my sewing machine to gather it instead of painstakingly doing it by hand! DUH!

Since I was brainless for the first card, I was not going to complicate the second! I wanted something a bit more masculine, so I went with paper from the Natural Mat Stack and Natural Solid Cardstock Mat Stack. I used the Elegant Frames Stamp Set which coordinates with Spellbinders Labels Ten. I then put it on a frame from the Labels Seventeen. Done!

And there you have it! They work great with their coordinating die!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Yippee! The moment we’ve all been waiting for! Spellbinder’s CHA releases have arrived and we are racing to get all of the Pre-Orders shipped! As soon as we have pre-orders filled we will remove them from pre-order status so the coupon can be used! Hallelujah! We are so excited! They are all so beautiful! If you have ordered on a Pre-Order, be watching your email for shipping notification and then your mail box! They are on their way!

I did this layout using the fun new Sprightly Sprockets! My nephew loves to build, and he helped his dad build this tower for his dad’s school class. Pretty cool!

I used DCWV All About Boys 12×12 Paper Stack, some Spellbinders Premium Craft Foil for my photo robot’s eyes and antennas and Boss Kut Hobby Horse Alphabet for my title! My track is just red twine wrapped twice around the sprockets using 1/8″ Scor-Tape to secure it.

These new dies are going fast! We have already been informed by Spellbinders that once the first shipment is sold out, the next shipment won’t be coming until mid April! The sooner you order, the better!

Remember, we fill orders in the order in which they arrive!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

We are so excited to have received the new Sizzix Textured Embossing Folders! We Oooed and Ahhhed over them while deciding which were our favorites! Now, I can tell you, that was hard! They are all gorgeous!

I love the embossing folders for making quick cards! You are probably starting to realize that I am all about quick! Sometimes I feel like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland, always in a hurry because I might be late! Needless to say that quick works best for me! You will most likely see quick ideas from me on our BLOG because that is what I do best! (Or at least have time for)

For this card I used the damask folder from the Corners & Damask Set. I ran white card stock through my Cuttlebug Machine then ran a Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink all over the top, which helped bring out the design. The pattern strip is from Basic Grey’s Hello Luscious 6×6 Paper Pad with a strip of ribbon. I used 1″ Scor-Tape to adhere the strip and 1/2″ Scor-Tape to apply the ribbon. The tag is made from Spellbinder’s new CHA release Grommet Tags.

Using the corners folder of the Corners & Damask and both the DCWV Luxury Mat Stack and Linen Closet Solid Mat Stack, I made a quick wedding card! I finished it off with Spellbinder’s CHA Fancy Tags Two and Basic Grey’s Opaline Half Pearls!

For this next card I used a card from DCWV Latte Box of Cards and embossed the front with one of the Country & Flowering Foliage Set, the ran the card stock strip through with the other folder in the same set. I used another new CHA release, Labels Eighteen #3 die for the stamped greeting.

Last of all, I simply used two of the four folders in the Butterfly Migration Set for a simple, yet pretty “Thinking of You” card! I used a dauber to dab ink around the edges of the greeting and on the butterflies to create contrast to the rest of the card. 5 minutes tops!

I hope these give you an idea of how pretty these new Sizzix Embossing Folders are!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Have I mentioned lately how much I love DCWV Paper Stacks? Well, I do! Of coarse, I don’t know if I have also mentioned that I am just a plain ol’ paper junkie! I love, love, love paper! Even as a kid I had an obsession for pretty stationery and note pads! I know from talking to many of you that there are those who share my obsession! Paper is a staple! You have to have it!

Over the weekend I got to play with DCWV Cotton Bloom Paper Stack! Oh, so cute!!! I had a blast! The hardest part was trying to figure out which pattern to use! It was hard to decide! The whole stack is great!

For my “Family” page I used two of the Grand Labels Eleven (Pre-order item due in March!) for my picture mats. My flowers were made with the Floral Doily Motifs (this has arrived and is in stock, and you can now use your coupon on this item!). I used 1″ Scor-Tape to apply my ribbon and flowers. (Have I told you how much I love Scor-Tape? I believe it was inspired just for those of us that like to use ribbon!)

For my Tiny Bubbles Layout I used a QuicKutz Circles Embossing Folder to make the bubble background for my title. For those of you who have never used these, QuicKutz Ebossing Folders are very similar and work the same as Provo Craft’s Cuttlebug embossing folders. My title is cut from QuicKutz Winter Wishes Holiday Gift Set with QuicKutz RS-0099 Bubbles 2×2 die.

As you can see, the paper in this stack is adorable! I hope you enjoy it too!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

For all of you who are stampers, or who would like to be stampers, we would like to bring to your attention JustRite Stampers! I think you will be very  impressed with their products!I know that I am!

Now, I will admit that I have dabbled with stamps here and there, but never really knew what to do with them, so they have been a tiny bit intimidating! Since bringing on a couple of stamp companies, I am finding that I really want to do more with stamps! There are so many beautiful stamps out there!

For starters, JustRite are grooved on the back of the stamps which fit perfectly into the grooved surface of their coordinating stampers! This is great since you can mix and match borders, centers and fonts and they will match up perfectly to make your stamp unique to its purpose!

They offer wood stampers in different sizes, as well as clear stampers, which help you to see exactly where you want to place your image or sentiment. They also coordinate with some Spellbinder dies, Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Punches and even a few EK Success and Stampin’ Up punches!

They also offer a line of Cling Stamps and acrylic blocks that you can mix and match also!Mix and match with a variety of themes, verses, sentiments and alphabets!

I did a little playing last night with the JustRite Stamps to show you some examples.

For my chocolate kiss vase I used JB-09500 1 5/8″ Clear Stamper with the JB-09720 Romantic Sentiments Centers for the flower centers. For the main center I used my I-Top Tool and a large Brad-Daddy. The flowers are Petaloo- Love You  Flora Doodles. I placed the main flower on a back made from S5-027 Labels Twenty One, which I cut out on my Cuttlebug.

My card was as easy as can be! I stamped two images using the Cling Stamps CL-02075 You Inspire Me in two different shades of blue, punched the bottom with a scalloped punch, cut by hand the top image then used adhesive foam to stack them. The center was stamped and punched with  a circle punch. I used Martha Stewart border punches for the edges.

Of course I have to do a scrapbook page, so I started with paper from DCWV Nana’s Nursery 12 x 12 paper stack. The stamps are from JB-09265 The Greatest Joy Set. I used #4 die from Spellbinders Classic Ovals Large, then #4 die of Classic Scalloped Ovals Large and #4 Beaded Ovals die. The butterfly is from the new Fanciful Flight Set ( I love this set!) and Petaloo Love You Flora Doodles.

You’ve really got to give these stamps a try! They are great to use! Easy clean-up too! I’m sure that you will come up with some great projects!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

I was introduced to Nestabling using the 2011 release that coordinates with S5-030 Fancy Tags Two!  Here are a few quick projects that I used them for!

For my first project I used paper from DCWV 12 x 12 Whimsy Paper Stack, S4-311 Labels Nineteen, S5-030 Fancy Tags Two with coordinating Nestabling!

This card was unbelievably easy using DCWV 4.5 x 6.5 Whimsy Mat Stack, S5-030 Fancy Tags Two with coordinating Nestabling! Fast, easy and pretty! It looks like I spent hours using glitter and rhinestones! NOT!!!

I love to scrap my granddaughter! She may be little, but she cracks me up with her big personality! She is already showing off like a “Little Clown”, so I decided on Graphic 45 Le Cirque 12 x 12 paper pad. The colors are as vibrant as she is, so it is perfect! I also used LF-246 Grand Labels Eleven and, of coarse, S5-030 Fancy Tags Two with Nestabling! After all, the Big Top has pizazz!

I can’t wait until the new Nestabling arrives! It is such a quick and easy embellishment and adds so much to your project! I am sold!

Keep watch for these items coming soon!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’

The Cut@Home girls had a great time at the Scrapbook USA Expo in Sandy Utah on Friday.  For those of you who have never been, this event is really a lot of fun. The vendors are set up around the perimeter of the room and in the middle are tables where people bring all their scrapbook supplies and gather as friends and family to crop ’til you drop! There is food, music and prizes to keep you going all day and night!

We found some great deals on paper from DCWV and embellishments at Basic Grey! Imaginisce was there with their great little tools, the I-top and I-Roc and we saw the new Sizzix TIEF’s – sooo cute!

The highlight was visiting with our friends Emma Lou and Richard from Heartfelt Creations! As you know, Heartfelt Creations is our very first rubber stamp company here at Cut@Home. We chose to lead off with them because of their stunning designs, superb quality and the coordinating Spellbinders stamps and exclusive dies.  Emma Lou is always so gracious and fun to work with.

From left to right is Tauna, Emma Lou, Janeth and Shaylee (my granddaughter!) and Carrie. We are a happy bunch!

Happy Scrappin!
