And the winners are...
Posted by Jen Cramer
A great big thank you to everyone who posted their "smart business tips" last week to be entered in the drawing for a free Birds #1 die. Make sure you read all of the comments because there are a lot of super ideas in there for craft retailers and for people with invitation businesses.
And now what you've been waiting for... the three winners are:
I like to take the acrylic Accucut sheets and use the different die cut shapes (Hearts, purse book, B.E. dies, circles, scalloped circles) to make acrylic books. We're doing a class in April using the Accucut custom acrylic pages. The other thing I like to do is suggest using dies when people are in shopping. The best is when I get mom's with kids in (ages 5-10 work best). I'll ask if the kids want to make something really cool and I'll let them roll their own die cut. I use scrap paper, the kids are thrilled, and Mom figures if her little baby can do it, it's got to be easy. Of course, I'm right there with the kids for safety but I let them turn the handle and they think it's absolute MAGIC! Never underestimate the wow factor!!!

Louisville, OhioWe package chipboard dies and sell them as "Naked" Snowmen..."Naked" Flowers, etc! The dies are not available for customer use in our classroom until they have paid for themselves via packaged diecuts in the store to assure that we have covered our investment costs.
If I have a paper that isn't selling well I use the giant dies to cut the paper in giant circles, hearts, scallops etc. (I love the giant dies!!). That paper that was no longer popular starts flying out the door!!
We'll be in contact with you and will send the dies this week. Congratulations!
Congratualtions ladies! What great ideas you have!
