It’s Friday! The weekend is always nice to see come around! Here in the office  officially dubbed Friday as “Frosty Friday” since Marcie has been going on Wendy’s Chocolate Frosty runs lately! Hey, we’re not complaining around here! Yumm! The other thing we’re not complaining about is the My Mind’s Eye Lost & Found 6 x 6″ collection. Have you seen it? It is so fun!

Okay, so all of the My Mind’s Eye paper pads are to die for, but last night I focused on the Union Square paper pad from the Lost & Found Collection. We just got a bunch of the new 6 x 6″ paper pads in, such as A Beautiful Life, A Happy Heart, All Spice, Lost & Found Blush, Lost & Found Rosy and Lost & Found Sunshine and more which are absolutely yummy eye candy for paper crafters!

Like I said, I used the Lost & Found Union Square 6 x 6″ paper pad for my card along with Spellbinders Wonderful Wings set and Classic Petal Edgeabilities. It was a lot of fun and oh, so easy!

I hope that you have great plans for your weekend! I am going to see my mother-in-law in southern Utah.  Our prayers are with our customers on the East Coast this weekend! Stay safe!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

We have been waiting for so long for the Spellbinders Presto Punch Machine is the first automatic Punch and Embossing System!  It offers the easiest, most convenient solution for paper punching with an innovative design and one touch operation that virtually eliminates the need for a multitude of bulky, space-consuming scrapbook punches. With Presto Punch, consumers can cut and emboss effortlessly and store more than 30 punch designs in the space of just one standard punch. This is ideal for anyone that has arthritic pain and does NOT want to squeeze any longer. Now it is one push of a button and you are still crafting and continuing the hobby you love!
The Presto Punch by Spellbinders Paper Arts is automatic and REALLY easy to use.  It is battery operated, and requires 8 AA batteries, and weighs only 3.8lbs with the batteries installed. There are only 2 buttons to work this little guy. The UP and DOWN buttons! A power adapter for domestic use is also available for this machine and is sold separately . Presto is compact sized and light weight, making it easy to use, transport and store.  Presto Punch Templates are small and light weight as well, allowing crafters to utilize the versatility of punches hassle free!

*Please note that  the Presto Punch Templates are not recommended for use in other die cutting machines as it can damage the templates.

Spellbinders has confirmed that 2×2 dies (die-cuts) can also be used in this scrapbook punch machine.
