Paper Cutters
Hello Everyone!
Did you do something fun on Australia Day?At least the heat eased of a bit for todays celebrations.
Today I would like to tell you a little about the cutters we have in stock. We have 3 main ones as well as a couple of others. The 3 I’m blogging about today are the ones I would recommend.
I’ll start with the Making Memories Precision Trimmer.
The good Points:
* It’s self sharpening = never needing a replacement blade.
* It has 1/2″ grid across the whole cutter, making measuring more accurate.
* The grid also contains pre-measured sections for 4″ x 6″, 5″ x 7″, 8″ x 10″ and 8.5″ x 11″.
* You can cut thin slivers of paper easily.
* It’s sturdy
* It has 1/2″ grid across the whole cutter, making measuring more accurate.
* The grid also contains pre-measured sections for 4″ x 6″, 5″ x 7″, 8″ x 10″ and 8.5″ x 11″.
* You can cut thin slivers of paper easily.
* It’s sturdy
* Magnetic ruler for holding paper in place while cutting
The not so good Points:
* Its a bit more bulky
* If you align the paper flush against the top it won’t cut straight – you need to align with the grid lines.
* Its a bit of an investment.
make sure you shop around when purchasing a tool like this, but I think you will find we have a very competitive price of $89.97 This is our everyday price.
The next Cutter I will tell you about has to be my absolute favourite. The Kaisercraft Rotary Cutter.
I have used mine for over 2 years and have only just replaced the blade. Replacement blades cost $7.99.
There are also replaceable cutting mats which costs $4.99 per pack of 2. The average person would replace them about every 6 months.
You align the paper along to top edge to cut a perfectly straight line. Measurements are in cm and inches.
This cutter is also perfect for the left handed person.
This cutter costs $44.99.
Finally let me show you the Provocraft Paper Trimmer.
This was the first trimmer I ever used, mine was the previous edition in pink and green. Love it, very light weight and easy to take to crops. I also find this the easier trimmer if you want to take an exact square or rectangle out of the centre of the paper.
The down side, blades get blunt quite quickly. This is a great cutter for the beginners and kids.
We sell them in store for $16.99 – What a bargain!
I hope this little break down has been helpful to you. We always stock these 3, but we also have a couple of others we get in from time to time. We are able to order in practically any cutter available on the market at very competitive prices.
Only a couple of days left and the kids will be back at school. (insert happy dance) and this year is extra exciting for me as I will have 2 kids at school! Mathijs is very excited to be starting Kindy. My poor little baby will be lonely without his partner in crime…but only a year to go and he will be at school too.
Take care!

On the Move….
As a complete contrast to Sweet Nothings, Kaisercrafts 2nd new release this month is “On the Move”. This gorgeous range is full of vintage car and aeroplane elements that are so perfect for teenage boy projects. This is a theme that hasn’t been done enough, so Kaiser has answered your calls to bring you this collection! Blues, reds and oranges effortlessly compliment each other throughout the papers and with so many cute little images of tyres and go-karts your bys in your life are in for a treat! (as quoted from the December workshop magazine)
Amber created this layout using the On the Move paper pad, some lettering, a sheet of card stock and the wheels of one of her boys trucks – she rolled it through the paint then “drove” it over her page.
And have a look at all the layouts and Cards Jenny created….
What do you think? I have been completly inspired to get my kit out and start creating, stamping, spraying and painting….

Svetlana says:
“December 25th collection puts me into very nostalgic mood, I just want to scrap something that really means to me “past†and “memoriesâ€. This little girl on the photograph is me. It is why this layout’s title and journaling are in Russian. Here is the translation of what I wrote: “I grew up in such a place and time where the celebration on new year replaced the celebration of Christmas. Even the Christmas tree was called New Year tree. There was no songs or poems about singing angels or the Bethlehem star. All the girls used to dress in the costumes of “snowflakes†and the boys were dressed as white bunnies… but even so, I have very warm and good memories of those times.â€

Christmas Carnival
Hello Everyone!
I would just like to show you some things I made yesterday using Kaisers Q2 Christmas Carnival Collection.
I was a bit stuck with what to give my daughters school teacher as a Thank You for this year, so I started playing around with the Carnival papers and this is what I came up with: (comments will be appreciated!!)
Its a little tote made from 1 sheet of 12″ papers, 2 brads and a strip of paper for the handle. For inside I made a little box out of pink cardstock which will be filled with either chocolates or toffees.
I then made a magnetic shopping list for on the fridge. (using some more of the pink cardstock, piece of ribbon, a couple of rhinestones and a small pad from king kong)
And I made a cover for a packet of post it notes. It has a little loop up the top for a small pencil or pen and I used the Carnival puffy stickers as an embellishment.
With a scrap of the cardstock I had left I made a little holder for either a gift voucher or lottery ticket.
I then decided I needed to make a table center piece for Christmas. Finding nothing else suitable I used the smaller square tissue box cover from Kaiser, turned it upside down, put a bit of cardboard in the bottom to seal the hole and painted it red. After I finished embellishing it, I filled it with florist foam and pushed a candle in. To cover the rest of the green I used some silvery tinselly stuff (sorry forgot the name!!).
Then I made a couple of quick cards:
Tomorrow I will show you what I have been making with the Lilac Avenue Collection.
Hope you have a great day!

Christmas Presents
Hello Everyone!
For the past week I have been making Christmas Presents for my daughters teachers and some people who are very hard to buy for and have everything already anyway, so I thought to share them with you.
These are fabric covered 6 x 6″ note books I picked up at Target at a clearance price. I’ve had them for over a year always meaning to do something with them and now I finally have.
For the above note book I used the new Kaiser Christmas Carnival paper pad. These paper pads are great! Each pad includes 10 specialty papers (2 x flocked, 2 x spot varnish, 2 x foil and 4 die cuts) as well as 24 sheets of designed paper. I have also used Prima Flowers, our brand of crystal brads and AC Thickers.
For the purple note book I used the Lilac Avenue paper pad from Kaiser, Lilac Avenue Alpha Stickers (with matching chipboard) as well as Prima Flowers, Crystal Brads and Kaiser Adhesive Pearls and Ranger Ice Stickles.
Tomorrow I will show you the candle holder I made using the New Kaiser Christmas Carnival Range of papers.
Hope you have a great day!
