This gorgeous scallop paper is from Creative Imaginations. If you like to look of the scallop and the little hole you will definitely want to get your hands on the Fiskars "Threading Water Punch". The punch cost around $15 and I definitely think it is worth it. The trick is to find one!!!
I visited a whole range of companies that do mail orders and eventually found one....so they are out there.....you just need to be patient.
Have a great weekend!
Around The Blockmakes this cute dimo with the most amazing dimo tapes! This is super easy to use and if you can't get your hands on one you can just use a normal dimo machine and cut paper or use dimo type.
When you use paper I suggest that you use paper with a white backing - that way you can sand the text after you typed it and it will stand out.
Great for dates, journaling and much more.
So sorry I have been MIA. We are moving to Australia and the whole move/getting organized and ready is keeping me a bit buzy. Missing my creative juices a bit!!!! Maybe this weekend is a good time to awaken them! Wish me luck.
My new friend the Big Bite! I got so excited when I got my hands on one of these yesterday. What is it with scrappers and tools?
If you are familiar with the original Crop-A-Dile - this one can do the same but can now punch and set to a distance of up to 6" . Lovely!
If you don't know this gadget....it is great, can punch holes into almost anything, and it can set eyelets, snaps, gromlets next to a sleeping baby.
So have a look - if you feel you need to make a scrapbooking investment - this was what you want to get!
Did I mention it is lovely?
You have to admit that it looks cute....this tool is called the Cuttlebug. It can make the most beautiful embossing and can also cut dies (alphabets and shapes).
The embossing templates are pretty reasonably priced and you can use them over and over again. The die-cut alphabets and shapes are a bit more expensive but realy great.
I use this machine for my embossing when I made cards or want to add some texture to a page. Next time you see one in a shop - have a look - maybe something you can put on your Christmas list! (As far as I know it only comes in lime green....:))
Trust me you NEED this tool!!! Most scrappers joke and call this the "crocodile"..I don't care what they call it - it is just great!
It is a punch and setter, in more detail: it punches holes in two different sizes and then has the middle gadget that allows you to set brads and eyelets when the rest of your house is sleeping. I promise you that you can use this tool (setting anything) next to a sleeping baby!
The best is that you can punch through almost anything (think chip board and tin - no problem). The brand new Crop-a-Diles are lime green, but the functioning of the tool is no different from this gorgeous pink one!
If you have questions about any scrapbooking tools feel free to email me and also send me and email if you want to be on my mailing list and have not send me one yet. Happy scrapping!!!!
