It’s still Take-A-Look Tuesday – scroll down a post for that…
I had the chance to play with some more dies from Lifestyle Crafts – – remember, they’ll work in any hand-crank die cut machine! Want to see what I made?? First, here’s a peek of the new just-released dies:
So here’s what a die looks like, on the left – this the one for the hanging box – you roll it through and it cuts and scores the paper in the appropriate places.
Next up, the tickets – so fun – – who doesn’t love a string of tickets, and now you can make your own! I will use these with my Paparazzi Parties – have guests put their name on them for doorprize drawings, etc.
Sidenote, this isn’t one of the new dies but it’s one that’s available – the matchbox – it’s one of my favorites!! Lately for birthday parties we’ve been giving Paparazzi rings and bracelets – they fit perfect and cute in this little box!
Alright, a final show-off of the new die cuts – this one is called “treat carrier” – it is so cute!! It really shows off the double-sided paper (I bought that at Lifestyle Crafts as well, a few months ago) – with the die, you cut 2 and then assemble the treat carrier. It’s perfect size to hold 2 cupcakes and then you just use the handle and away you go – so fun!! I know I’ll be making a bunch of these in the future! They could also hold candies or cookies or anything – sky’s the limit – the box makes anything look fancy!
And side note, those cupcakes were the best I’ve ever had – I’ll tell you all about them on Saturday….

these look fantastic, looking forward to the cupcake details. I’m currently looking at a hand crank die cutter, would you mind telling me which one you have? I’ve been looking at the bigshot but I’m interested in hearing what others are using before I purchase one. Especially since they’re much more expensive to buy over here than in America, any info is appreciated. Thanks 🙂

I have one called the Epic 6 – I like it, but I don’t have anything to compare it to – – you can buy it from Lifestyle Crafts, and if you use the code “SUGARBEE” I think you get 10 or 20% discount… here’s the one i have:https://lifestylecrafts.com/products/tools/epic-6-cutting-embossing-tool.html
