Adorable Easter Carrot Box by Kris Kutz!

Stellar Stationery is now selling their cutting files under the name Kris Kutz and I will continue to host these files here in my store: Cutting Files by Kris Kutz

This latest one is SO incredibly cute and is a great value based on the detail of this project! Note the little fence which surrounds a carrot-shaped box, which is supported vertically within another box:

The top of the carrot lifts up to reveal any of SIX different animals that can be used as the surprise within the box:

Is this not just the cutest little gift idea or even table favor for your Easter meal? And the price for this entire project is only $4.99! Available in KNK, PDF, and MTC formats.

Need a Last Minute Thanksgiving Table Decoration?

Friends, do you dread meeting new people at holiday events because you don’t remember their names even though you just met them?

Do you dread meeting new people at holiday events because when they said their name while everybody was talking and you couldn’t hear them BUT they heard YOUR name and they address you by it?

Do you dread meeting new people at holiday events because they end up sitting right next to you and you still haven’t remembered their name?

Do you dread meeting new people at holiday events because, well, maybe you don’t like meeting new people…but, I digress.

FINALLY, you can enjoy Thanksgiving Day dinner next to your new best friend and call them by their name because you can make all your guests feel welcomed with these amazing Turkey Place Cards!!! Beautiful, eye-popping and a conversation piece because you can write your guests’ name on the front and BACK so everyone will know each other’s name. What a concept! You can make them in traditional colors or for you “walk on the wild- turkey side” make them in any colors you wish. This also makes an adorable favor to take home. For the scrapbooks at your feast, they can mount this on a page without distorting the image. Just gently slide all the cutouts to one side and it will lay flat. Again, what a concept! Need a centerpiece? Look no further…actually, you kinda have to look further in the cutting file because – are you ready? Are you sitting? Can you stand the excitement? As an added bonus, you get a second helping of turkey with the included Turkey Center Piece! Your wish came true and you didn’t have to wrestle Uncle Larry for the wishbone! Unbelievable!! It truly is a Thanksgiving to be thankful. So gobble this up and have your guests thanking you for being so thoughtful. Have a wonderful holiday!

Zing with MTC User Manual

The pre-ordered Zings began shipping yesterday and the on-line user manual is now available for interactive viewing and downloading! Note that the manual is a first draft and I plan to make updates regularly as new video links are added, along with rewrites of certain sections, additions of a trouble shooting section and glossary, and basic corrections to grammar and typos! : )

Here’s the link: Zing with Make The Cut User Manual

Even if you haven’t ordered the Zing, this manual also covers all of the functions in Make The Cut and will be updated as new versions of MTC are released. You’ll see that this program has an incredible amount of designing and editing functionality now available! It’s an incredible program for only $58.36! MTC will cut to a long list of cutters including all models of Klic-N-Kut, Pazzles, Gazelle, Craft Robo, Silhouette, and more. You can purchase Make The Cut here at my store.

While all of the pre-ordered Zings sold out, there will be more Zings arriving at the end of the month! So, be sure to check out this incredible new cutter and let me know if you need a recommended dealer to contact!

And the winner is….
