Just arrived from Provo Craft are more beautiful Cuttlebug A2 Emossing Plus Folders! We have added 4 more to our inventory, which are the popular Carly, Whimsy, Cogs & Wheels and the Deco Burst! These folders are absolutely wonderful for making spectacular embossed cards on the fly! They cut and emboss all in one pass of your machine!

We have also brought on several 2″ x 6″ Cuttlebug Combo Dies! You receive 2 coordinating dies in one package. These dies have several images on one plate! We have included From the Sea, Fruit & Tags, Hearts & Stamps, Nature and Texture Blocks, Ornamental, and Poppies & Honeycomb! These dies will work with most die cutting machines!

I really enjoy using either of these products, but for a really quick and pretty A2 card, I highly recommend the Embossing Plus Folders! They are awesome!

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’!

I have to say that I was so excited when I first saw the new Spellbinders Creative Book Pages Grand Die by Donna Salazar! There are endless possibilities for mini books with this spectacular set!

As I have mentioned before, my youngest boy just entered Basic Training for the Army National Guard, and it is his birthday this month, so I wanted to do something for him that he could use and keep in his limited space foot locker! They can’t have a whole lot and he made me promise NOT to send treats during Basic! Hmmm…. what do I send? Well, I CAN send pictures, and we just had our family pictures done the weekend before he left, so I decided to do a mini album using the Creative Book Pages Die Set! I only used dies #2-5.  Of coarse I used my Spellbinder’s Grand Calibur to cut them. You will either need the Grand Calibur or a Big Shot Pro by Sizzix to be able to use this set.

I didn’t want to embarrass him by sending anything even close to frilly. Army style seemed fitting and manly! I used paper from Creative Imaginations Signature Collection-U.S. Army Scrapbook Kit. The stickers are by Karen Foster and Reminise. I also used the Boss Kut Black Jack Alphabet for the “My Family” title.

Well, that’s it! I think he will love it! His little niece will make him smile for sure!

This is really a fun project for any occasion! You can bind it any way you like!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Okay, so you already know that I am a paper junkie, but I would say my next scrapbooking addiction is alphabets! This week I tried my first couple of Boss Kut Alphabets! Love them!They work just like my QuicKutz Alphabets in my Cuttlebug Machine!

Some of them are 2×2″ chipboard backing, like the Hobby Horse that I used on my layout for yesterday’s BLOG, and some are on 2×2″ metal plates, as with the Adore that I used for today’s layout. They work exactly the same!

My kids can’t believe how many I have. My accountant son thinks he has to add up the cost of each one and let me know how much I have spent, but I keep insisting that I almost always buy them on sale,  so his calculations are over estimated! Of coarse my daughter doesn’t mind that I spend on alphabets, because she can borrow them for free!

I have been using QuicKutz Alphabets for years and thoroughly enjoy them! I won’t say how many I have, but I’m sure that some of you are in the same boat! Both QuicKutz and Boss Kut have foam over the letters to keep paper or card stock from sticking in the die. QuicKutz dies are all made of metal and have expanded some of their alphabets from 2×2 to 4×8.

Boss Kuts has some metal and  some chipboard in the 2×2 plates. Both work great in most of the die cutting machines such as Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Grand Calibur, Epic Six and Wizard!

Like I said, I used the Adore Alphabet in this layout of my children.  I used Bazzill card stock, and  My Mind’s Eye Simply Delightful 12×12 stack. I cut one Spellbinder’s Grand Big Scalloped Ovals in half to place over the pattern paper and cut the flower embellishments from the same paper. The leaves are from the new Spellbinder’s Foliage set!

If you have never tried the Boss Kut alphabets, you should just give them a try! As the saying goes; Try it, you might like it!

I really believe it!

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’!

You will also want to use their Bling, Baby Bling, Rhinestone Gems, Pearls, Strips Bling, Brackets, and Swirls! You’ll want to add a little bling to everything! These items will be arriving soon!

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’
