It’s here!  Archiver’s just got in the latest electronic die-cutting machine from Sizzix, the eclips.  Molly and I are LOVING this new machine and all of it’s little tricks.  Click here to see a video of the machine and check out some card and page ideas using the eclips.

I’ve narrowed it down to my top 3 favorite things about the eclips: Read the rest of this entry »

For those of you who haven’t heard, Sizzix Tim Holtz dies are at Archiver’s!  We’ve got his alpha strip, decorative edges, signs, labels and more!  Here’s a card I made using 3 of his dies: Caged Bird, Baroque label and Vintage Market alpha.

Card Tip: Use Cosmo Cricket’s 6×6 Mini Decks of paper for cardmaking.  Since the patterns are smaller than their 12×12 sheets, you can see more of the pattern on small images, like the die-cut bird and label.

Full instructions for this card are available online.

Stop in Archiver’s this Friday-Sunday for Tim Holtz Demo Weekend!  Get a chance to use his distress inks, cling stamps and the caged bird die. Love this :)

Molly and I were lucky enough to have Kevin & Julianna from Sizzix stop by yesterday with their new electronic die-cutting machine, the eclips, and give us some training on it!  We fell in love immediately with this new toy…It won’t be in stores until mid-May, but Archiver’s will have it first :)   Here’s a sneak peek of Mol using the “preview laser” to see where she’s going to cut to make sure she gets to use every bit of scrap paper! ( I know you can’t see the laser very well, but believe us, it’s there!)
