Getting busy over the holidays??

We always want to do cute little things for our neighbors, co-workers and friends but suddenly the holidays are here and you've run out of time!!  You can make up some of these chocolate bar wrappers quickly and they'll look extra cute with Lifestyle Craft dies!!  Here is the "poem" to add to the bar:  Christmas Fudge Poem

Gift Idea.....

Looking at getting a head start on your Holiday Gifts??  Here is an idea sure to please any crafter on your list!!  Purchase a clear dinner plate (you can use round or square), cut your template (base) to fit the inside of the plate and then decorate as desired. Attach each base to plate with velcro circles or magnets so you can "swap out".  I've done an insert for each season of the year, Winter, Spring, Summer and Fall ~ shown is Fall and Winter inserts.  You can even make more for each holiday (Christmas, Valentine's, Easter, Halloween, etc.)

(dies used: 2x2 maple leaf, 4x4 leaves, Nutmeg Alphabet, 4x8 Sketchbook Alphabet and large Snowflakes)

Gift Giving Ideas.......

Jazz up your "wrapping" in style!!! 

 (dies used: nesting flowers, nesting circles and 2x2 Let it Snow embossing folder)

New Release in store!!

Walk with us through our Winter Wonderland and take in the shapes, templates, and alphabet that will inspire this holiday season. Look for the Holiday Gift Set with its versatile pockets, inserts, and alphabet that will be useful during the holidays, and all year through! Also look for a charming mix of 2x2s, 4x4s, Cookie Cutter Shapes and Border dies that can easily embellish the gift set pockets, or can stand on their own when placed on holiday cards, gift tags, ornaments, and layouts.

Anticipation for tomorrow's release......

Tomorrow is the day for the Winter Wonderland release and Winter Wishes Gift Set!!  For those of you that do not own an Epic 6 yet, I suggest you add it to the top of your wish list as some of the best dies being released tomorrow do require an Epic 6 for the larger platform!!  We still have the promotion on while quantities last in store, that if you purchase an Epic 6 for the regular price of $89.99, you can pick out an in stock 4x8 Alphabet Font valued at $39.99 for FREE!!  Not many left in store so hurry in today!!

Gift Set sneak peek......

Here is a "sneak peek" of the Winter/Holiday 2010 Gift Set "Winter Wishes". Four pocket dies, four inserts dies and a cuter-than-cute mini alphabet. This Gift Set is available Tuesday, November 9th and I think you'll love the price for what you get!!  Better get your wish list ready, cause I think these sets won't sit long on the shelf!

QuicKutz is changing their name and packaging.......

QuicKutz is now LifeStyle Crafts and you'll see the change of name and packaging on Tuesday, November 9th when the new release comes out!!  You probably will not notice a huge difference, just the new logo on the upper left corner of the packaging but one extra touch I like is now on the back of each die, there is the name of the die with a description of what to use the die for!! Awesome at getting our creative mojo going!!  See you Tuesday, November 9th for the Winter Wonderland Release and also the Winter Wishes Gift Set ~ I think this release and gift set will be a huge hit ~ LifeStyle Crafts is already stating most dies are sold out!!

Love it!!

I love it when you find new papers that compliment old but not forgotten QuicKutz dies!! Check out this layout using new Bella Blvd. Papers ~ Sunny, Happy Skies:
