Lasting Memories

New Mini Album Dies!

We're super excited about a new mini album die set we just got in the die cut center. The four parts include a plain page, a page with a cut out frame, a page with a pocket, and a tag to fit in the pocket. These are two beautiful examples of this album made by our Design Team. You have to come in and see the rest of these gorgeous books!

"In Full Bloom" by Gail Jenkins, using Making Memories' Spring Fling project pad


   

New Cookie Box Dies!

In preparation for the last Barnhart wedding, Jennifer got the cutest cookie box dies for the die cut center! It's a convertible die, meaning you can change the cut out for top of the box between the heart and the artisan label, or have no cut out at all. Perfect for wedding favors, shower favors, thank-you gifts, teacher gifts. . . Try cutting the top of the box in a different paper from the bottom. Double-sided papers work cute, too!

 

Fun Felt Flowers for Spring

I put all the felt colors in a basket the other day and thought they looked so bright and spring-y that I had to make some felt flowers. I die cut the flowers out of felt and paper, layered them, and completed them with brads and buttons. Super quick and easy. Make them for cards, pages, or home decor!

Christmas Tins

Have you seen our little lunchbox tins and the matching die cuts? You can cut any paper to fit these darling tins in our die cut center. When Making Memories was here last month, we helped cute Marianne make one using, what else, Making Memories paper!

Here's another example using the Bella Blvd. Christmas line. These boxes are perfect for storing cards, recipes, or just as a gift box!

One Kit, Different Designer - Jacalyn Soo

More darling ornaments! If you plan on putting up your tree this weekend, you better stop by the store and make a few of these to add to it. It only takes a few mintues to die cut the chipboard and matching paper shapes in our die cut center. These ornaments from our Design Team kit were made by Design Team member Jacalyn Soo. So pretty!
  

One Kit, Different Designer: Bethany Crowell

Did you get a chance to stop by for our Holiday Open House? If so, we hope you went home inspired to create some homemade holiday decor. Many of you left with a pack of these chipboard ornaments to decorate. So here's another inspirational look at what one of our design team members did with her kit of supplies. We loved the old-fashioned feel of these ornaments made by Bethany Crowell.

If you'd like to make some of these darling ornaments, come in and use our die cut center to cut matching paper for these chipboard pieces. We used die #C11. It's a fast and easy project!

New in the Die Cut Center - Lunch Box Dies

These mini lunch box tins have so many possibilities--fill them with notecards, recipe cards, layout ideas, embellishments, and more. They're adorable covered with patterned paper and a few buttons or flowers.

New in the die cut center this week is a die that cuts your paper exactly the right size for these little guys! Just die cut and glue it on. It's adorable and easy. And you can make it out of any of the thousands of papers we have in the store, so the possibilities really are endless!

The Perfect Favor Box

We are so excited about the newest dies we've added to our die cut center. This favor box has four toppers to choose from: snowflake, ducky, and two different flowers. These are perfect for wedding or baby showers, birthday parties, Christmas parties, or even weddings. Cut the box out of card stock, patterned card stock, acetate, whatever. Then cut a coordinating topper to slide on top. With endless paper possibilities, you can make these adorable treat holders for any occasion!

If you're not familiar with our die cut center, you have to come in and see the thousands of dies we have for just about anything you can imagine. We easily have the largest collection of dies in the state--maybe even the country. Die cutting is just $3 per half hour, or $5 per hour. Or, purchase an annual die cut membership for $18 and cut as much as you want for a whole year. You can download a directory of our available die cuts from out Web site.

Die cutting is not just for scrapbookers--it's for card makers, teachers, crafters, quilters. . . Want to know more? Look for information soon about our upcoming die cutting workshop!

More mini-albums from the die cut center

Our die cut center is full of treasures.  Just look at the mini-albums that our design team created with die cuts that we have.  The possibilities are huge!

You are my friend!

Hi!

I created another layout using the larger dies....and cut the circle in half.  If you are creating a double layout -- the other side can be used too!  I like cutting the larger dies in both patterned paper and plain bazzill cardstock.  The options are endless.
