Scraparatus – Cut Are Part Us

March 1, 2008 by trisha michaels

scrap1.jpg
Scraparatus from Karen Foster Design

RRP $24.99
is the tool you just might be looking for. This bright pink tool performs the functions of many different gadgets you can die cut, punch holes, set eyelets anywhere on your project.

You purchase Die cutter set’s to expand your collection, they average at around $6.99 per set.

The only down side of this wonderfuly pink tool is that you need a little elbow grease, I can’t say I was dissapointed, I just think my expectations were un-realistic. I found that I had to hit it several times to actually get it to cut through the cardstock.  When I first tried it, I in fact used a few curse words, but now that I have got used to it’s temperamental cutting, I love it!  Take a look at the instructional Videos

if your still not convinced.

The Scraparatus Starter Set includes

Scraparatus tool
2 hole-punch tips (3 mm and 4.5 mm – for 1/8″ and 3/16″ eyelets)
2 eyelet splitter tips (1/8″ and 3/16″)
2 eyelet rounder tips (1/8″ and 3/16″)
2 dies (tag and star)
adapter for previous Karen Foster Design tips
stomp pad
stomp stone
written instructions.

80’s Inspired Boombox Shaped Mini Album

I was a teen in the 80’s so this totally rad Boombox shaped mini album from Traci really speaks to me! She created a rectangle shaped black acrylic album with rounded corners, adding buttons and a handle on the top with a cover decorated to look like a real boombox with speakers, a tape deck, buttons and more. She used the Totally 80’s collection of products from Simple Stories that has lots of bright pink and teal colors with cool 80’s inspired patterns like black and white check and colorful graphics. There’s also load of fun embellishments like a Walkman, high top sneakers, retro TV, camera, hair spray can and more. 

I had huge hair in the 80’s and am embarrassed to admit how much Aquanet hair spray I used!

Traci has included her totally tubular signature flaps and pockets in the album too for some radical interactive elements too.

Visit the Artsy Album blog to learn more about this bodacious mini album project.
