The NEW Stampin' Trimmer is here!
Introducing the new and improved Stampin' Up Stampin' Trimmer! Although we use paper trimmers regularily in the papercrafting world, they are NOT all equal. This one was designed exclusively by paper crafters FOR paper crafters, and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's quality and design are going to be a cut above the rest!
Features of the New Stampin' Trimmer:
- An extra-wide 6-1/4" cutting base and an extended 14-1/2" ruler
- The extra-wide cutting base provides a large work area and is marked in 1/4" (4 mm) increments, allowing for small measurements.
- The right-side grid helps you measure and cut very thin strips.
- The extended cutting arm has a stabilizing leg to provide a sturdy and steady cutting surface for longer cuts.
- When fully extended, the extended cutting arm sits flush with the trimmer base, providing more accurate and consistent measurements across the entire surface.
- The cutting base and track include a full ruler, incorporating measurements down to 1/16" and grid lines that mark each quarter inch.
- All rulers and measurements on the base are printed under a plastic cover so your measurements won't wear off.
- The base has nonskid feet, which keeps the Stampin' Trimmer securely in place on your work area.
- A full 12" cutting and scoring track
- The extra-long cutting track has space at the top and bottom so you don't have to take the cutting and scoring blades out when you're not using them.
- The track gives you enough space to cut or score a full 12" (30.5 cm) without having to remove or switch out handles.
- The cutting track locks in place for secure storage or transport.
- The track includes an insertion point for cutting and scoring blade handles so you can easily insert handles into the cutting track.
- Specially designed handles and cutting track to ensure straight cuts
- The hook on the scoring and cutting blade handles keeps the handles stable so the cuts are as straight as possible.
- Handles come in two colors: dark for cutting, light for scoring.
- The precision tip on the cutting blade allows you to pinpoint precisely where you're cutting.
- The point on the side of each handle shows you where the blade will cut, making it easy to see exactly where your cuts and scores will begin.
- Storage compartment under base
- The storage compartment holds scoring and cutting tools such as a Bone Folder, Simply Scored Stylus, extra scoring and cutting blades, and even business cards.
- Separate compartments within the storage compartment keep your tools organized, and the clear cover makes it easy to see what you've stored.
Product details: item 126889; $41.95.

Sparkly Snowflake
Hello!
As I play with the Silver Glimmer Paper, I can't help but think of Snowflakes! As uncommon as it is to make a black & white Christmas card, I was just drawn to give it a try with this card.
I used the Lattice Embossing Folder on the black cardstock background, and the Snow Flurry Bigz Die for the Snowflakes, in Whisper White and Silver Glimmer Paper. The embellishment in the middle is from the Antique Brads package. This card is very simple, yet quite stunning to see in person.
Snow Flurry Bigz Die (127813):
Lattice Embossing Folder (119976):
Here's a look at the card again.
Happy Stamping!

Happy Thanksgiving!
On this Thanksgiving weekend (in Canada), I am thankful. Thankful for all the wonderful things in my life. Here's a "Thankful" banner I made to hang on my fireplace mantle. This was the project we made at class earlier this week.
I used the Spice Cake fabric, and wrapped it around some cardstock to keep it flat. I then adhered those pieces to bigger Early Espresso pieces of cardstock, and embellished all the flag. Each of the flags measure 3 X 5.5 inches.
This is made using:
Stamps: Broadsheet Alphabet
Cardstock: Early Espresso, More Mustard, Pool Party
Ink: Early Espresso
Accessories: Spice Cake Designer Fabric, Labels Collection Framelits, Basic Rhinestones, Pearls, Vintage Faceted Buttons, dimensionals, Eyelet Border Punch, Scallop Border Punch, Decorative Label Punch, Espresso Bakers Twine, Victoria Crochet Trim, Clear Rhinestone Brads, Vintage Trinkets, sponge, and Paper Daisies.
125598 Labels Collection Framelits:
118724 Broadsheet Alphabet:
120907 Decorative Label Punch
124066 Spice Cake Designer Fabric:
Wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving, and thankyou for being part of my world! I am blessed.

Halloween treats
Here are the Halloween projects I made for the Stampin' Up Regional last week.
I was able to trade these with the other demonstrators and get a whack of new samples to share with you all.
This one is made using:
Stamps: Seasonal Sayings
Cardstock: Early Espresso, Pumpkin Pie
Ink: Early Espresso
Accessories: 1X8 cello bags, Apothecary Accents Framelits Dies, Essentials Paper Piercing Templates, Basic Rhinestones, dimensionals and Candy Corn!
I made a triangle shape out of the Espresso cardstock by scoring it in 3 places, and adhering with Sticky Strip. I put about 7-8 candy corns in the package, and adhered it to the inside of the triangle with Sticky Strip as well.
Hope you like this SPOOKY TREAT!

Magnetic Framelits
One of the products that I love is the Stampin' Up Framelits for the Big Shot. Here's a way to modify your packaging so the little metal pieces don't wiggle around so much.
A magnetic package!
Your Framelits come in a sturdy plastic package, attached to a cardstock backing with some sticky tape. I find it hard to get the prieces to stay stuck on this tape in storage, after using them a few times.
So, if you put some Tombo liquid adhesive on the backing,
and then glue a magnetic sheet to it,
and add some glue on the magnetic sheet, you can make a magnetic sandwich! Cover it with a pretty designer paper that you like, and you have a package that is now functional and nice to look at! (Just be careful that the magnetic side of your magnetic sheet is facing the right way!)
Hope you like today's tip!
Jo-Ann
