Setting a designer grommet

1 Punch a 3/16" hole in card stock using your Crop-A-Dile.
2 Set your Crop-A-Dile to B-1. Side B is completely flat, and Side 1 has only a small nub to hold
the grommet in place.
3 Insert your grommet into the hole you punched.
4 S lide your Crop-A-Dile over the grommet, fitting the nub of Side 1 into the stem of the grommet.
5 Press down slowly on your Crop-A-Dile using medium pressure. If you press down too hard,
you’ll leave a significant indentation in your grommet image.
6 Your grommet is now set in your card stock.
note: You may see a slight indentation in the image, depending on how much
pressure you used to set the grommet.

Finance a Big Shot!!!


Do a lay away with the Big Shot and I can do an invoice for you for $33.50, 33.50, 33.50 and 18.45 + s/h and tax consecutively and meet your club requirements for 3.5 months of 6 and earn yourself free product as well. I will order the machine as soon as I get your fourth payment.

Just an idea but when I see that my prices are better than most at the local Michaels store for the machine and the dies I get excited - and the exclusive products designed for this machine special for us :)

January Stampin'Up! Artshow: Reflect Her Style

There are few things that can warm the heart like creating a gift for a loved one, especially when that gift truly reflects her individual style and her creative personality. This month’s Art Show is one such handmade gift idea.

Our eclectic card and necklace combo is perfect for that unique friend or sister who loves decking out their latest ensemble with an eye-catching accessory. She’ll love this piece of one-of-a-kind jewelry created from our exclusive Styled Silver Hodgepodge Hardware®. And she’ll adore the fact that her co-workers won’t have anything like it!

And it looks fabulous on the card too!
