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’!

Last week I showed you all the Nestabling from Want2Scrap. Today I want to show you examples of their fabulous line of Rhinestone Gems and Pearls! Individually self adhesive,  you don’t need to break them off of a strip just to use one or two for a project! There are a variety of colors to choose from, with 72 Rhinestones or Pearls per sheet! The Baby Bling contains 100 pieces per package!

For my greeting card, I used pattern paper from the DCWV Luxury Mat Stack for my card front, the rose, leaves and tag.  The rose and leaves are made with S5-050 Rose Creations. The tag is #1 of S4-317 Fleur De Lis Rectangles.  I molded and  inked the edges of my rose petals with ink, then put them all together with a brad before putting one of the large 2226 Pink Pearls on top of the brad. I used all sizes on two corners with the smallest pearls placed along the swirls of the paper. It is easier to place the small pearls with a pair of craft tweezers, but it is not necessary.

For my A2 card I used S5-025 Labels Seventeen die #6 for the white background. The #4 die from S4-316 Heart Circles, then cut my picture out with #6 die from S4-114 Standard Circles Large to place in the center. I inked around the card and hearts, then used 6244 Red Baby Bling to spruce it up! Baby Bling also comes in a variety of colors!

I recommend using craft tweezers for sure with the Baby Bling! They are so cute, but very tiny!

If you enjoy bling, then Want2Scrap has something for you! We also have Bling Strips, Brackets and Swirls! We are still adding this product line to our website, so keep watching over the next week or so!

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’

Here we are at the final day of the Spellbinders Blog Frenzy! We feel this is one of the strongest  CHA releases since Nestabilities first stormed on the scene a few years ago. Based on the comments from our customers, you all agree! So let’s take our last peek into the Day 8 release with the S4-317 Fleur de Lis Rectangles, S4-322 Grommet Tags, LF-246 Grand Labels Eleven and S4-323 Ribbon Tags Trio Two shown below:

The Fleur de Lis Rectangles are Decorative Elements Nestabilities. Both tags are shapeabilities and the Grand die is a Nestabilities. Here are some projects to get you thinking about what you can do with these dies!

Spellbinders DT member Heidi Blankenship used both the Fleur de Lis Rectangles and Grommet Tags for both these projects. I love the intricacy of the Fleur de Lis Rectangles. Grommet Tags have long been a favorite of mine as I love to add ribbon and a bit of bling to my tags and these tags are perfect for doing just that. To see how she made these projects, please visit Heidi’s blog. Thanks Heidi!

Next we have two projects by Spellbinders DT member Julie Overby.

Julie used the Grand Labels Eleven and Ribbon Tags Trio Two on both these projects. The first project is a calendar. To see the rest of the pages, and for more information on her designs, click on Julie’s name and it will take you to her blog. They are worth seeing. Very cute! The second project is an elegant card. Great job Julie!

Well that’s it for the sneak preview of the Spellbinders winter CHA release. The rest of the release will be viewable on Saturday, January 29th. To see all the dies we have previewed, and for more information about each die, please go to our pre-order page.

Thank you and Happy Scrappin!

We have three new dies to preview for Day 2 of the Spellbinders Blog Frenzy!

This is S5-032 Elegant Posts. It is a Shapeabilities die. You receive five different posts giving you lots of options to hang your favorite label from!

This shape should look familiar to all you Labels Four fans! This is the S4-309  Labels Four Small Nestabilities die! So now we have all three sizes of Labels Four dies! This one is sure to be a HUGE hit so I would definitely add this to your pre-order list to make sure you are one of the first to have one. Here is what Spellbinders DT member Kazan Clark did with these two dies:

Next we have the latest addition to the Nestabilities Decorative Elements:

Introducing the S4-319  Lattice Rectangles! Layer this with the Classic Rectangles for a truly inspiring project! Look what Judy Hayes did with this new die:

With Valentines Day coming upon us, these projects are just what we need to get us in the right frame of mind.

So here we go with another Spellbinders Blog Frenzy! We are counting down the days to the NEW Spellbinders release that will be introduced at winter CHA in Los Angeles. Spellbinders will be releasing 45 brand new dies, which will include 16 new Nestabilities! They have two brand new formats that will bring fun, new techniques to paper crafting. This new release will begin shipping in February or March.

Let’s get started with the Day One release:

This is a brand new addition to the fabulous Nestabilities labels line: Labels Eighteen. It reminds me of a vintage tag with its elegant shape and flared corners.

This next one is the Ribbon Banners. They remind me of the sentiments line Spellbinders used to carry, that I loved! The great part about these are they are blank and are large enough to add your own sentiment! Here is what Debbie Olsen did with these dies:

Thanks Debbie!

Next we have a Grand die:

This is the Creative Book Pages which can be used to create a mini album, Or get REALLY creative and use them as borders! Donna Salazar made this great mini album!

She also used the Rose Creations shapeabilities die cut on this project shown below:

And because Spellbinders knows we scrappers and cardmakers can never have too many flowers, they came up with Carnation Creations, also a shapeabilities die:

Here is a spin on custom tabs that I never saw coming:

Think outside the office with the Creative Page Tabs. You get NINE custom tabs to mark your pages. Or clip off the tab and use as a die shape!

How many ways can we say WOW!! For the recipes used, please click on the designers name and visit their blog.

These dies are available on our pre-order page where you can also see their dimensions. As always, the VIP coupon is not valid on any pre-order items, and any pre-order items need to be on a separate order from the dies that are currently shipping.

Thanks for taking a peek and I will see you tomorrow for two more new dies as the Spellbinders Blog Frenzy continues!

Happy Scrappin’!

The DT at Spellbinders really do some fantastic designs. Those gals are really talented and deserve a blog post all to themselves, so here ya go! Let your creative juices flow and get ready for the scariest holiday of the year!

If you went to CHA Chicago and stopped by the Spellbinders booth, these pumpkin pins were the make and take courtesy of Cathy Chelbana. She used the Labels Fifteen, Labels Sixteen and the Jack O Lanterns shapeabilities die.

Kazan Clark did this Halloween layout using the Nested Bats, Witches Brew, and Big Scalloped Border Grand.

This Halloween layout has really gone to the dogs – and aren’t we glad! Mona Pendleton created this dog-gone great layout using the Graveyard Scenes, Wonky Squares and the Standard Circle Nestabilities die.

Here is a cute card by Beth Pingry using the Witches Brew shapeabilities die. What I love about these shoes if you get a right and a left shoe!

Regrets Only would not be a problem with this great looking Halloween party invite! Latisha Yoast used the Labels Fourteen, Graveyard Scene, and the Floral and Stone Impressabilities to create this card.

What’s a party without decorations! And I went batty over this bat banner designed by Margie Higuchi. She used the Nested Bats, Halloween Fence Scenes, Jack O Lanterns and Witches Brew shapeabilities dies.

I hope you enjoy looking at these works of art as much as I did!

Happy Haunting!

We have several of the new Tim Holtz Sizzix dies that just arrived! We have several Movers & Shapers Magnetic dies, some are the Bigz dies that really make a bold statement! I am having a hard time choosing a favorite from his designs. See if you have better luck than I do!

The first is Styled Labels. I love both these labels and you get two for the price of one! The Keyholes are going to look great paired with any vintage die, like the Baroque.

Sizzix also has three new Sizzlits Decorative sets: Drinks Set #2, Summer Fruit #2 and Summer Phrase.

Sizzix also came out with border dies. They are called “On the Edge” and I have one to show you.

This is the Brackets die. It measures 5 1/2″ long. Look for more “On the Edge” dies coming soon.

Thank you and enjoy!

Marcie

Take a look at the latest Cuttlebug products available for pre-order! They will begin shipping in April and May.

We have three new A2 embossing folders, five new 5×7 embossing folders and one 7″ border.

Brand new to this collection is the Embossing Plus in three different sizes: 2 x 2.75, A2 and 5 x 7!

They also come in sets with two different sizes of dies.

In case you are wondering, the Embossing Plus is a die that cuts and embosses with one pass of your die-cutting machine. This differs from the combo dies where you had to put it through your machine once to cut, then the second time to emboss. How great is that!

Also new, Provocraft has twelve inch embossing borders in three styles to choose from:

To go along with the twelve inch embossed borders, they also have the adaptor, cutting and spacer mats that measure 6 x 13″.

To see the entire new release that is available for pre-order and for more information on the product you see here, visit our pre-order page. By placing your pre-order with us, you will one of the first to receive these new Cuttlebug products! Make sure your pre-orders are on separate order forms from the items that are available.

Happy Shopping!
