Cutting it Close with the Stampin' Trimmer

Stampin' Trimmer Accessories Now Available December 20, 2012 The following Stampin' Trimmer accessories are now available for purchase:  Stampin' Trimmer Cutting Blades (item 126995)  Stampin' Trimmer Scoring Blades (item 126996) Remind your customers that they can store the extra cutting and scoring blades in the compartment under the Stampin' Trimmer base.

  The following Stampin' Trimmer accessories are now available for purchase: 

• Stampin' Trimmer Cutting Blades (item 126995) 
• Stampin' Trimmer Scoring Blades (item 126996)

Just a Reminder: you can store the extra cutting and scoring blades in the compartment under the Stampin' Trimmer base, along with your bone folder.

Although paper trimmers are a common crafting tool, this trimmer was designed exclusively by paper crafters for paper crafters-and because it was made by Stampin' Up!, you know it's a cut above the rest!

Features of the All-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; $29.95

The "Quick I Need a Card!" Kit

 


Remember the "Pick a Kit" survey from Stampin' Up!'s October 1 Facebook post? The results are in and your "likes" have been heard. 

Introducing the first viewer's choice kit (drum roll, please) . . . Fancy Friends!  

Get everything you need to make six cards for only $15.95 (item 132319)! If six isn't enough, add Note Cards to your order (item 107311)-we've already included extra rhinestones in the Fancy Friends kit.

And how easy would it be to swap out the daffodil for a red - quick holiday cards!

To assemble the cards:
Stamp the doily image in Daffodil Delight or Old Olive ink three times on the card and once on the envelope, re-inking between uses.

Stamp "Friends" in Daffodil Delight or Old Olive ink on the front of the card.

Adhere the flowers to the card. Adhere Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the center of the flowers.

NASS - Not a Single Stamp - the magic of Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper

Everyone feels a little uncreative sometimes. Maybe you think you don't have enough products to really make a WOW card. Well you probably do! These cards used four things:

Cardstock

a pack of Designer Series Paper

Snail adhesive

Paper cutter

Yep, that's it! Well, I did use a little red glitter glue and a punch on one, but you sure don't have to! If you do have other things to 'kick it up a notch' you can, but the simplicity of these cards really bring out the patterns and colors. Plus they are quick, just right for holiday cards you can mail  out ON TIME this year right? Not that I've ever done that, *cough*.

HOW TO:

1. Trim your 8 1/2" x 11" paper in half to 8 1/2" x 5 1/2". Score each half of paper at 4 1/4".

2. Cut DSP main image such as the owl and mittens. Measure those. Cut two layers of DSP pattern a minimum of 1/4" larger on each side than that main image for layering. Some of my layers are 1/4" larger, some are 1/2" larger, some are just eyeballed!

3. Adhere all DSP in the layers you want with Snail.

4. Bling if you want to!

My holiday gift to you, two recipes passed down from my dearly departed great grandmother. Don't blame me for not being able to stop eating them.

Amish Sugar Cookies

1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup oil
2 eggs beaten
4 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp cream of tartar
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 tsp vanilla or almond extract

Mix cream of tartar, butter, sugar together. Add eggs and oil. Beat. Add all dry ingredients. Drop by teaspoons onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 350 deg. Dip bottom of a cut wine glass in sugar, pres onto cookie for design. (You can also try Stampin' Up! Sweet Pressed Cookie Stamps!) Cookies should be thin and melt away on your tongue.


Puffcorn Caramel Curls

8 oz bag of Old Dutch Puff Corn Curls, or puffed corn
2 qt saucepan
1/2 lb butter, not margarine
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp baking soda
wax paper

Place corn puffs in large roaster pan. In a 2 qt saucepan cook together for 2 minutes: butter, brown sugar, corn syrup. Add 1 tsp baking soda to mixture. This will cause mixture to foam so 2 qt pan is necessary. Pour caramel mixture over puffs and stir until mixed. Place in oven for 45 minutes at 250 deg. Stir at least every 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven, pour on wax paper and break apart.
