Hi there! I am just popping in today to share a video that I made to practice some stop motion. I used my Xyron Create-a-Sticker (2.5”), my Sizzix Sidekick, and a Lawn Fawn die to create 7 rainbows. Check it out below.
Until next time, stay safe in these crafting streets.
Happy Crafting,
Gaby
Hi there crafty peeps! I am back with a video that I recorded a few months ago (I know!) to review and unbox the Sizzix eclips2! I am super excited about this and I cannot wait to do more projects with this machine. I am especially excited about learning the ECAL software because I think it will allow me to make some cut files that I have been thinking about for a while, without having to go through Illustrator. Anyway, check out the video below for the full review.
Overall I really like it and I'm excited to see what else it can do as well as what else is available in the Sizzix store. One thing I mentioned in the video is that it is larger that my Cricut Explore, it is also bigger than the Scan n' Cut 2, just wanted to share that. Ok, that's all for now, but I will be back into the regular swing of things pretty soon, I have some more reviews to share, including one on the We R Memory Keepers Stitch Happy. Happy crafting!

So this was my first year going to Scrapbook Expo and I got my entire life from it! There were so many booths and activities! I had no idea what I was missing but now that I have seen the crafty promised land, I am already excited about next year. There is a Mega Make & Take on Thursday night and then an all day crop on Saturday and Sunday. The shopping floor is also open on Friday & Saturday and classes are offered on those two days as well.
The break area and the crop.
The side with the vendors/exhibitors had lots of product but also lots of space to move around and be comfortable.
The shopping floor.
I went with one of my coworkers and it was also her first time, so we wanted to try everything so we did a Make & Take with Fun Stamper's Journey and Richard Garay was there! We made this super cute Christmas tag and even got a free stamp.
This is cool and it only took about 15 minutes.
Cool stamp and it was free.
I also spotted Quick Quotes at the expo.
I had a fantastic time and bought a bunch of amazing products that you can see in the photo below!

Expect to see some videos soon of these amazing products in action. Happy crafting!!!
Hi everyone! I just started using my Sizzix Big Shot to cut fabric and I had an epiphany. I'm a modern quilter and I love jelly roll quilts. I was cutting some fabric last night and decided to "kit" my jelly rolls.
Cutting 2.5" strips
Strips galore!
Then I put them into groups I would probably use together.
I tied the rolls with scrap strips from cutting.
Then I can just stack them up and save space! This would make an awesome gift for a fellow quilter as well. Hope this helps organize your stash, happy crafting!
