This is a stamper’s dream! This company worked with Spellbinders to create the most fabulous stamp and die cut combinations! These aren’t just your basic single stamp with die sets. There are a handful of stamps to coordinate with each die cut. So you can get lots of layers and varieties from each combination!
I’ve already got lots of ideas buzzing around in my head!

One of the releases at the CHA show that had so many people talking was the French General line of products. It’s a collection of French country inspired vintage reproductions of notions, ribbons, fabrics, papers, and ephemera. It’s packaged so attractively, it’s as if you went back in time to do some shopping in a little general store or boutique.
7 Gypsies always has so many inspiring projects for your vintage finds or for your scrapbooking and papercrafting. We’ll look at their newest replicated vintage scrapbook and papercraft supplies in this video.
Teresa Collins and Xyron have a sticker maker and Teresa shows us how you can take anything that will fit in the opening and turn it into a sticker.
*update* The video is working now!
Julie Fei Fan Balzer has partnered with Eco Green Crafts and in this video she shares the stamp sets she designed for them. She also demos their delicious paints and shows us what’s different about them!
Excuse the piles and stacks of mess above and below this cabinet. I’m in the middle of a long and slow room reorganization (slow as in, I’m moving about two items per month so far).
What I’m really meaning for you to look at is the open cabinet from Ikea (the middle of three) — it’s where I’ve been keeping the tools that are too large to fit in a bin or basket.
(I know the Cropodile is hardly a large tool but it’s larger than all of my other hand tools and I can no longer fit it into my hand tool bucket. Into the cabinet for large tools it goes!)
Anything that requires more than two steps or a zoom of the chair is not within reach. That would include my closet, the cabinets to the right and left of the tool cabinet you’re looking at, and the shelf that is between my workspace and my closet.
The larger tool cabinet in the picture above is Level 3.
From right to left , front to back–
I got really tired of having a cutting tool in my way. I demoted it years ago.
Here’s the thing. When I move onto the embellishment phase of scrapbooking I do not need a cutting tool. Why have it take up so much space?
(Paperclipping Members should know my typical scrapbook workflow by now and why I have an “embellishment phase”).
When I’m mini-booking and using my task-batch mini-book process, I no longer need my cutting tool after the first step of laying the foundation.
Plus, I do other things on my table. I paint and art journal and sometimes I even alter three-dimensional items. Sometimes. I don’t need a cutting tool for those things.
I love that I can pull my cutting tool out for when I’m cutting, and then free my surface area when I’ve finished that step. Cutting tools are big — even my little Fiskars Trimmer is relatively large when you’re looking at the percentage of surface area it takes.
It goes like this . . .
I guess for some it could feel as intimidating as a blank page, but I doubt that. Over the past months I’ve removed more and more regular items from my work table until now it is empty except when in use!
Empty!
I love that.
How would you respond to an empty scrapbook work table? If all of your tools and supplies were above, below, behind, or to the side of you, would you be inspired or intimidated? Or something else?
