IT KITS by Lifestyle Crafts

IT is a brand new product for Lifestyle Crafts... It Kits! It Kits are cutting dies perfect for crafting of any kind. The fun doesn't stop there, because each of these kits includes digital files for each shape in the set. That way, you'll be able to cut these shapes in all sizes with your Silhouette or Cameo (or whatever digital cutter you have). Another bonus is that each kit comes with a zipper storage pack to keep it all together!



They are perfect for any type of project including cards, tags, scrapbook pages, journals, school projects, home decor and special events like parties and weddings! You name IT... It Kits can make IT! This release consists of 3 different kits...Tag It, Clip It, and Edge It! And, they're all in stock :)

Here are some samples, taken from the Lifestyle Crafts website. For a more detailed view of all the shapes that come in each kit, visit the Lifestyle Crafts blog by clicking here. Happy crafting!

happy HUMP day!

Happy HUMP Day, baby!

Today's kits are brought to you by the creative genius, Janice! See the mittens below? She hand made them for you :) They actually started out as a man's wool sweater from the Salvation Army store. After a little washing, drying, cutting and sewing...you have mittens!



Hump Day kits are only $5, while supplies last. And...based on the cuteness factor, I'm thinking these are gonna go fast!

Enjoy :)

Hearty Barley by Jillibean Soup

Okay, I admit it. I said I would never buy Valentine's paper for the store before Christmas. But...I just couldn't resist this line. First, it doesn't scream Valentine's Day. Second, it's perfect for any theme...did you see the dogs on it (it says sloppy kisses coming your way)? And, really...let's just put it out there...I'm a sucker for anything printed on kraft paper. Combine kraft paper and Jillibean Soup designs...and...well...that's all she wrote :)

Lickety Split chipboard albums by Bazzill

We are excited to introduce the new Lickety Split chipboard albums by Bazzill! They have raw chipboard covers, which means they can be painted, sprayed, decorated, covered with paper...WHATEVER! They come in two sizes...8"x8" and 9" x 12".

Personally, I think it would make a perfect Christmas Wish List album. You could keep everyone's wish list, along with pictures, all in one central location. Sure does beat all the notes and lists I have scattered all over the place!



Three-ring refill pages fit inside. As you can see, they are available in both sizes, and each pack contains a fun assortment of styles...not just your traditional 8"x8" or 9"x12" pages. Some fold and others hold vertical and horizontal all on one page. (Look at the picture closely...see the picture that is being held up?)



For example, see the first sample size below...it fits the 8"x8" album and says 12"x6" with FOLD written on one of the lines? That means the FOLD line actually folds over so that it fits in the 8" album. (See the photo above for a visual of another fold.) So, in this example, the storage page would hold THREE 4" wide by 6" tall layouts/designs/pictures/journaling blocks.


To complement the 8"x8" albums, OR to make your own album without a binder, take a look at the dividers. Bazzill made the dividers in a nice, sturdy chipboard. Thankfully, they were nice enough to ALSO provide paper in the SAME shape. This makes covering those cute tabs an easy task! The paper covers come in Quicksand (tan/brown), Ruby Slipper (red), Kiwi (green) and Natural (ivory) - all shown below.



We'd love to see your finished product - bring it in or shoot us an email :) Have fun creating!

Happy Hump Day!

Happy HUMP day, bloggers :)

Today's Hump Day Kit is brought to you by the fabulous Miss Anna! You know that we don't normally show the entire layout on our blog...but...today, I am running a bit late and don't have time to crop the picture down. So...you get the real deal :)



Have a GREAT, sun-shiny day :)

Introducing the all new Silhouette CAMEO!

Our long awaited shipment of Cameos is finally HERE!



We placed a *very large* order of Cameos back in July, and since then, most were reserved by those paying their $10 non-refundable deposit. As of this morning, there are FOUR Cameos still available. So...to all those people who have been calling and emailing...these are for you!

I know...four machines isn't exactly going to fulfill all the requests. Don't fret though. If you don't get one from this shipment (or if you want hubby to buy you one for Christmas!), we have already ordered a second shipment that is scheduled to arrive in November. You can either take your chances OR put down a $10 non-refundable deposit. With your deposit, you are guaranteed a machine from that shipment.

And...if you are already a Silhouette or Silhouette SD owner and are NOT buying the Cameo...you are definitely going to want to try out the new blades and mats. Both new products WILL work in your machine :) Trust me when I say that you will LOVE LOVE LOVE the new mats!!!

Just to recap...

Click here for a basic summary of the Cameo that we posted back in July.

MSRP - $299.99
Beach Scrapbooks price - $279.99
Beachcombers Club price - $269.99

If you have ANY questions, call the store at 563-9009 or email jen at beachscrapbooks dot com.

Happy cutting!
