Let Quickutz Help Dress Up Your Thanksgiving Table!

Friday, September 9th, 2011

I have had so much fun this week making Thanksgiving decorations! I can’t tell you the last time I really planned anything for that holiday! I am even more excited now for Thanksgiving because I am already half way prepared! My table decor is nearly finished thanks to Quickutz Be Stuffed Collection!

I have a whole fleet of ships using the Mayflower Boat die set. Easy assembly with only 3 dies. They are not my official place cards, but even though my kids are grown, I still put their names on things like this so their is no arguments over who is eating who’s candy! I am speaking mainly of the biggest chocolate thief- my husband.

My official place cards are also made from the Be Stuffed Collection using the Place Setting Kit. It has everything you need to dress up your table setting.

Approximate sizes:

1. Place Card 1.3 x 2.3″

2. Napkin Ring 1.7 x 1.7″

3. Menu Card 2.7 x 3.5″

I added the 2 x 2″ Turkey Silhouette to the front with some foam adhesive for dimension. I also used the Give Thanks stamp from Heartfelt Creations Rustic Autumn Wheel pre-cut rubber stamp set on the card. I would like everyone to write what they are thankful for on their card and we will read them during desert! My family will think it’s corny, but our family has much to be thankful for this year and I am curious to see what they will come up with! (I apologize that you can’t see the ring on the napkin ring, but it is there!)

I hope this gets you excited about Thanksgiving and gives you some ideas for your table setting!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Arriving Soon! Heartfelt Creations Decorative Basket Collection!

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

Heartfelt Creations artists are once again bringing us another outstanding collection which includes five gorgeous stamp sets with coordinating die! The Decorative Basket Collection is expected to start shipping next week! It is sure to be a favorite!

The stamps that are included in the Decorative Basket Collection are:

Decorative Basket

Woven Basket

Botanical Floral Basket

Basketweave Background

Belated Birthday Wishes

The exclusive Spellbinders die made just for Heartfelt Creations that coordinate with this stamps set is the HCD 714 Decorative Layered Basket Die.  It includes 3 dies.

Approximate Die Sizes:

1. Decor Basket: 3 1/2 x 2 3/4″
2. Layer Basket: 3 7/8 x 2 7/8″
3. Leaf Spray: 1 3/4 x 1 3/8″

I was inspired yesterday while reading Tim Holtz‘s Blog. He mentioned that one way he gets past a creative block is to organize! He finds stuff he forgot about and becomes inspired! Well, I decided that my space could use a bit of tidying up, and I found some little things I had forgot about that I  could use on my project for  today’s blog! I also used some of my brand new stuff that I have been dying to try!

I used the Decorative Layered Basket Die (available next week!) on my card below. I used the solid basket die to cut printed paper then used the decorative die to cut a marbled  card stock to layer. I did have to run the decorative die through my Cuttlebug Machine 2-3 times to make sure it cut through all the way as it is more intricate.

Other items used in this project were from Spellbinders and  Donna Salazar Creative Book Pages Two.  Paper from Teresa Collins World Traveler 6 x 6 paper pad. Flowers were made using the smallest flower and leaf from Heartfelt Creations Botanical Floral 2 then cutting with Spellbinders Rose Creations Die set. Other embellishments- mini brads, label from Making Memories, adhesive acrylic sentiment, sanding block for distressing embossed edges.

It was fun to go through and find stuff that was stashed away for a while! It felt like I had something new and it was already paid for! That’s always a good feeling!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Craft and Hobby Association Show Summer 2011 (CHA)!

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

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!

New Heartfelt Creations Decorative Lace Border Die!

Friday, July 15th, 2011

I am so thrilled to introduce the Decorative Lace Border Die! It is a custom Heartfelt Creations Die manufactured by Spellbinders. This die coordinates with the Wedding Collection stamps. This die has more intricate details, so if you have a “loose” machine, you will have to cut a couple times. You will need to run it through your machine and cut once and then turn it 90 degrees and cut again.

I actually ran it 3-4 times through my Cuttlebug Machine then turned it before running it through 3-4 more times just to make sure! It is well worth the extra time it takes to cut it out! You will want to have either a QuickStik from QuicKutz, Pick Me Up from Silhouette, or pair of skinny craft tweezers to more easily poke through the holes! I love this die!

Since this is the season for weddings, I created an A2 wedding card using the Decorative Lace Border and Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose Scroll stamp set. I scored my card stock using my Scor-Pal for an accurate fold. I used 1/8″ Scor-Tape along the main lines of the die cut and ribbon to place on my card. A little chalk to add color to the roses then I used foam adhesive squares just on the top of the scroll to give the some dimension.

 

I don’t consider myself a designer, but I definitely have fun trying! I love playing with all of the fantastic products we carry and showing off the finished project! My family gets pretty tired of me showing them. They tell me it’s fine without even looking at it! Can you relate? I thought so! Of course I’m the mom, so I rant an rave over their stuff! I guess that is just how it goes.

I hope that you all have a great weekend! Better get lots of sleep, because we will have lots to show you next week after CHA! You may have to stay up nights just to see all the new stuff!!!!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Oh goody! The Decorative Lace Border Die from Heartfelt Creations is finally arriving and will be ready to ship next week! Coordinating with the Shabby Chic Lace stamp from the  Heartfelt Creations Wedding Collection, it is an exclusive die manufactured by Spellbinders.

This die has more intricate details, so if you have a “loose” machine, you will have to cut a couple times. You will need to run it through your machine and cut once and then turn it 90 degrees and cut again. It is totally worth it for such a beautiful embellishment!

Not only can you use this for wedding cards or layouts, but for anniversary, prom, Valentines Day and vintage! I’m sure you are picturing right now the many ways that you can incorporate this die in your projects! It is a must have for sure!

Heartfelt Creations Wedding Collection!

Tuesday, June 21st, 2011

Okay ladies and gents, I finally had a chance to play with the new Heartfelt Creations Wedding Collection Stamp Sets! I just can’t get over the incredible detail that their artists put into them! They are so beautiful! These cling stamps are so easy to use with any acrylic block!

I am a bit behind in scrapbooking my daughter’s wedding, so I took the opportunity to use these gorgeous stamps to create a layout of her wedding day! I used Bella Rose Wedding, Wedding Sentiments and Bella Rose Heart. I cut the scalloped piece from the DCWV Linen Closet Paper Stack using my Sizzix Big Shot Pro Machine and the Bigz Pro Die Square Scallop.  The background piece is from DCWV Shimmer Paper Stack. To complete the ensemble, I used K & Company stickers, Want2Scrap Silver Baby Bling, heart rhinestones, paper doilies and a heart corner punch.

 

Now I can’t wait to use the other sets in the Wedding Collection! These really make fabulous embellishments for layouts as well as amazing bridal or wedding cards! Now is the perfect time to get yours, as summertime is the busiest time for weddings!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

The Big Shot Pro Rocks!

Friday, June 10th, 2011

Pride can be such a confusing word! It can be good as far as taking pride in our family, appearance, etc, but it can be a detriment when it causes you to be stubborn about change! When Sizzix released the Big Shot Pro Machine I was NOT going to get another machine! I was determined not to cave in! I did not need it, did not have room to put it….. bad pride.  Thanks to several customers calling in to find out how to do things with this fabulous machine, I finally decided it would be helpful for me to have one so I could learn how to use it and would actually know how to help my customers, so I caved!

The Big Shot Pro Machine works with every Sizzix and Ellison design.  Constructed from industrial-strength materials, the Big Shot Pro Machine features a 13 inch wide opening to cut hundreds of materials. That is fantastic!

I can’t begin to describe how I already love this machine and I just got it last week! (Just so you know, I did have to put my order in and wait in line,  just like everyone else!) I had to do a little rearranging in my scrapbook room, but I did find a place all of its own, where it sits proudly waiting to go to work for me! I still have to figure something out to organize my Bigz Pro Dies but that will come as I work more with it.

That’s another thing, when we started getting those big dies in I fell for them right away! (Have I told you what a sucker I am?) I am tickled with how big they are! I am already planning my neighbor gifts for Christmas! They do not get any bigger than this! The Sizzix Bigz Pro inch dies are the largest dies ever. They cut hundreds of materials which include cardstock, chipboard, fabric, foam, magnet, leather, metallic foil, paper and sandpaper (in limited use). Designed exclusively for the Big Shot Pro Die Cutting Machine. These dies are great for cutting fast quilting designs too.

So here is my first finished project using this incredible machine and the Bigz Pro Die Box Popcorn #2. You have to cut 2 from the die to make the box, so make sure you have more than one piece of 12 x 12 paper! I also used Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose House, Bella Rose Leaves along with the Bella Rose die. I cut the house out with Spellbinders Labels One Small I was making this for my dad’s birthday,  and he has been saying how nice it would be to have a movie night, so I filled it with candy, popcorn and a gift certificate to the movies!

Well, that’s it for today! I hope you all have a wonderful, sunny weekend!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Carrie

Back Order Update: The Big Shot Pro is still back ordered, however, we have been randomly getting some in, so if you want one, get your order in so you can be in line!

The Magic of Oz Cling Stamps are already back ordered from Graphic 45, but we are trying frantically to get some in! We appreciate your patience!

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders And Heartfelt Creations Stamps!

Thursday, June 9th, 2011

Sometimes I feel guilty that I have so much stuff that I don’t use! Yet I keep purchasing more! Its just that the manufacturers keep coming up with such great products! Yesterday I told you about the new Cuttlebug Embossing Folders from Provo Craft, so I took the Rebecca home with me last night to play with! Love it! I also used stamps from the new Heartfelt Creations Bella Rose Collection!

By the time I got home from work, my frantic weekend traveling to and from San Francisco (almost 24 total hours in the truck in less than 48 hours)  had caught up with me! I had zero energy and just as much brain power, but I was determined to get something done to show you today! Here is the result of my exhausted efforts!

I stamped the Bella Rose Vintage Background on tan card stock, colored the flowers and leaves with colored pencil (I really need to invest in some Copic Markers!), then ran a piece of vellum in the Rebecca Embossing Folder through my Cuttlebug Machine for the cover of the card. I then stamped the rose on the vellum, using brown ink, with one of the Bold Bella Rose stamps (so beautiful!). I used vellum tape to adhere the vellum to the card so you can’t see any tape lines. I added a ribbon bow and went to bed! LOL!

I had to look at it again this morning to actually make the decision on whether it turned out good enough to show you! I couldn’t tell last night, but I am actually happy with the results! I really like using embossing folders with vellum because it naturally highlights the embossed lines to give it more depth.

Hopefully, I will be awake for my next project! It is amazing what a good night’s  sleep can do for you!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Heartfelt Creations/Spellbinders Soda Can Bows!

Thursday, May 19th, 2011

Okay, so I have to share with you this incredibly fun idea that one of our local customers shared with me today! Using the Heartfelt Creations exclusive Spellbinders Die- Daisy Patch and her die cutting machine,  she has made these adorable hair bows out of soda cans! Amazingly, the cans do not dull the dies and are not sharp once the shapes have been cut! Awesome!

Laura started her hair bow business only 3 weeks ago and her hair bows have literally blossomed on Facebook! She is a stay at home mom who also runs a daycare out of her home! Wanting to bring in more income, she decided to try the hair bows after a friend had given her daughter a similar bow. Just by putting pictures on Facebook, they have taken off! I can see why! They are adorable!

If you are interested in Laura’s Soda Can Hair Bows you can email her at palagonzo@hotmail.com or call 801-870-3665. They are priced at $4.00 ea. or 3 for $10.00.

You can let her know what colors you would like! She will find a can to match!

Here are are just a few examples:

 

 

 

 

Thanks Laura for you fabulous idea! Good luck in your new business!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Coordinating Stamps For Spellbinders Dies!

Monday, April 25th, 2011

One of the great things about Spellbinders is that they create  products that enable you to coordinate other products with their dies, such as stamps from Heartfelt Creations, Just Rite Stampers and Sparkle N Sprinkle!

I don’t know how many of you have used these stamps, but they are all fantastic! I would like to touch a little on each of these just to let you know a little bit about each one!

Heartfelt Creations not only make their stamp sets to coordinate with Spellbinders Dies, they have also collaborated with Spellbinders to create their own exclusive dies! Their precut stamp sets are mounted on a cling foam, ready to be used on acrylic blocks. The most popular line of stamps is the newly-released series that coordinates with Spellbinder dies and exclusive Heartfelt Creations dies. This results in a detailed image on your die cut, enabling you to create a 3-D stamped dimension without using  scissors.

We just received their newest stamp sets that include Magnificent Cardinal Rose which coordinates with the Cardinal Family die set! You will definitely want to see these new sets! They are gorgeous!

Just Rite Stampers have a unique collection of  borders, centers, alphabet, words and phrases that are interchangeable. JustRite rubber stamps range from big bold and colorable to simple and delicate. They produce a line of Cling Stamps as well as ridged stamps that when placed on their coordinating stamper give you perfectly placed borders and centers! They also have an exclusive line of coordinating Dies that are manufactured by Spellbinders!

I absolutely love their Birdhouses Set which requires a 2″ stamper! We do carry all sizes of their stampers in clear or wood! As for their cling stamps, one of my favorites is You Inspire Me. Just use an acrylic block to place your stamps and you are ready to go!

Sparkle N Sprinkle are the newest line of stamps that we have brought on board. They have been producing stamp sets to coordinate with many of the Spellbinder Nestabilities dies and will continue to do so! Their stamp sets are refreshing and fun!  They are mounted on cling cushion, so all you need to do is put them on an acrylic block (sold separately). Stamp away!

I am always needing new phrases, especially Thank You phrases, so of course I had to have their Thanks a Bunch Set! I am a scuba diver and collect just about anything that pertains to the ocean, so the Ocean Treasures Set is right up my alley!

I hope that this has helped you out a little with your stamping questions! All of these companies use high quality rubber for their stamp sets so you can enjoy them for years to come!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Please Don’t Eat the Daisies, Create With Them!

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

I love warm weather! Today is a nice warm day here at Cut@Home and we can see the spring flowers popping up through the ground! One of the things I love about the warm weather months is Flowers! The Daisy is one of my favorites because each one looks so happy! They are also hardy, which is good in our Utah clay!  Good thing for me that we have so many Daisies to choose from here at the store!

We have lots of Heartfelt Creation Daisy Stamps, such as Daisy Patch Background, Daisy Patch Bouquet, Daisy Patch Flowers, and Daisy Patch Swirls. Don’t forget the Daisy Patch Die to cut some out to give your flowers dimension! These sets are amazing! You can’t go wrong while designing with these!

There are also the Cameo Daisy Flowers 1 and Cameo Daisy Flowers 2 which coordinate with Spellbinders Blossom Die!

Spellbinders has some great Daisies to their credit! Daisy Heads are very popular as well as Daisy Border Small!

QuicKutz has introduced us to their new Blossoms set which has several different sizes of daisy shaped flowers!

Wow! I can almost smell them! And this is just skimming the top! We have dozens of flower shapes to choose from! What is your favorite?

Take a look in our Flower Theme! I think you will be pleasantly surprised at the selection you have to choose from! Have fun walking through our garden!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Wednesday, April 6th, 2011

It is time to get those Easter card and invitations made and sent out! We have just the stamps for you! Heartfelt Creations has some gorgeous spring stamps that are perfect for your spring and Easter projects!

If you are wanting a religious theme, the Easter Lilies stamp set coordinates with the exclusive Spellbinders Decorative Oval Window die made just for Heartfelt Creations! Or the Decorative Vintage Cross is breathtakingly beautiful! It coordinates fabulously with the Stained Glass Background!

For the fun side of Easter, you might find the Egg-Citing Day stamp set a refreshing reminder of the relaxing days when you were a child! The big plus is that all of these stamp sets from Heartfelt Creations are pre-cut rubber stamp sets mounted on the EZ-Mount foam, and ready to use with the Acrylic Blocks!

For a perfect spring reminder, the Dutch Iris Medley or Dutch Iris Oval is as refreshing to see on a card as seeing the real thing! These stamp sets coordinate with the Spellbinders exclusive Decorative Dutch Iris die set!

I have mentioned just a few of the amazing spring stamp sets from Heartfelt Creations! If you are into flowers,  you WILL want to look at the large selection of flower stamp sets that coordinate with Spellbinders dies! You will be in flower heaven!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin”!

Just For Fun With Heartfelt Creations!

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Have you ever had an idea and KNOW that you have a particular item (like burlap) that you want for the focal point of your project, but then search for it only to realize that you must have loaned that item to someone and have not got it back? Well, that happened to me a couple days ago! I can’t remember who I loaned my burlap to, but I seem to remember doing that! So I improvised! For my Family Ties page below, I used some denim squares that I had originally cut for a quilt! It would have been nice to have burlap too! That is the beauty of creativity! You can change anything at any time!There are no restrictions!

I have grown to love the bright, cheerful look of sunflowers as I have gotten older! Even though I am so allergic to them that I don’t want them near my house, I love decorating with sunflowers! They make me feel happy! The Heartfelt Creations Aztec Gold Sunflowers 1 and Aztec Gold Sunflowers 2 cut out with Spellbinders Blossoms Two were a perfect combination to embellish my photo of my smiley nieces and nephew! I don’t own any Copic markers (maybe someday!), so I shaded them with Stampin’ Up Water Color Crayons, curled the leaves for dimension and sprinkled some black glitter for the centers! I made the leaves using Spellbinder’s Nested Leaves.

This was just for fun so I used some old paper that I bought who knows how long ago! I grew up in a rural area on the outskirts of  Salt Lake City, Utah, so if it looks country I am all over it! Gingham and polka dots fit the bill! I am a jeans kind of gal, so the denim squares with ric-rac trim worked for me! Of course, jeans ALWAYS work for me!  I took a Fiskars scallop punch to create the frame around my photo, then to hide my (shhh!) uneven corners I used QuicKutz RS-0136 Photo Corner.  The title is created from Boss Kut Hobby Horse Alphabet.

We have a surprise for tomorrow! Sneak Peak of our new product line!

Thanks and Happy Scrappin’!

Carrie

P.S. We are already out of the Grand Calibur Machines until our next shipment! Get in line if you want one next time!

Most of the New Releases are expected to begin shipping the beginning of February! If you ask me, this is the best CHA Release ever! So many wonderful products to choose from! I want them all!!!! You can see these and much more under NEW PRODUCTS in our store!

Here are a couple layouts I did using just a few of the new Spellbinder Dies.  I used pieces from the S5-043 Fleur De Lis Motifs as well as S5-042 Fleur De Lis Accent and the S5-030 Fancy Tags Two for my first layout, along with the DCWV Black Currant Paper Stack.

For my second layout I used pieces from the S4-318 Fleur De Lis Squares, S5-051 Fanciful Flight and S5-030 Fancy Tags Two. The flowers are Glittered Layered Daisies from Petaloo.

I promise that you will LOVE this release as much as I do, so have fun shopping! You’ll be glad that you can just sit in your chair and push a button to put items in your cart and not have to push that heavy cart around!

Thanks for looking and Happy Scrappin’!
