2nd Saturday Recap


October's 2nd Saturday featured "Core Dination" embossing paper. We taught how you can buy pre-embossed paper that only needs sanding to showcase the embossing, or how you can emboss your own choice of colored cardstock with a number of different tools. Some of those tools are embossing punches, embossing folders for the Revolution or Cuttle Bug Die Cut Machines, embossing rollers, or even metal embossing templates using a light box.

Some other ways to expose the core color of the card stock is to tear or use a distressing blade. This paper adds texture and dimension and helps to complete a layout.

Tim Holtz Fragments

Fragments (frâg-m nts) small clear tiles that can be used as adornments by adhering patterned paper to, or inking, and gluing to metal lunchboxes, scrapbook pages or handmade cards

Tim Holtz said: "The look of smooth glossy tile has always caught my eye. Why? Because it’s such a versatile surface to customize. These clear Fragments can be altered by adhering your favorite scrapbook papers or photographs to the back. You can also colorize them with Alcohol Inks, stamp on them or even use rub-ons. Use them to embellish your scrapbooks, your cards, and other art projects. Start seeing your projects through clever Fragments you create…"


Check out this rockin' layout created by Maureen Wilson using Tim Holtz Fragments. They add the perfect dimension as well as a touch of glam to her project.

EK Success Punches

Have you seen the wonderful assortment of punches we have in stock? We recently received some new ones from EK Success. These punches fold flat for easy storage which means no more jumbled messes in your tool drawer!



Maureen designed two layouts using the "Real Estate Sign" punch. This design works perfectly to caption your photos as shown here:


And check out this lovely design! Maureen used the punched shapes to create her entire layout by choosing coordinating papers as accents and setting off her photo by cutting it into a circle. It's simple yet effective.


Here are two of our newest jumbo designs just in time for fall!
