Here’s some Christmas cheer for you. Look for some cute Christmas projects with embossing and drawing. Also check the site for specials and deals. First we will have some red and green embossing metal deals. Have you tried using your markers on our metals. I can be a cool effect, especially when you emboss first then draw with our MAR-Kits in the same embossed groove. Enjoy!

Time to showcase one of our favorite crafters. Sheila with shesasassylady.blogspot.com is at it again. Quite often, we see crafters use our gel-pens to highlight, accent, or add embellishments to a card or project. Sheila’s wonderful design shows how our gel-pens can become the central focus of a design. Just look at the detail in each of the balloons. Truly breathtaking.
Sheila posted this project to her blog a little over a year ago, but we just felt we needed to get it out there and show it again. It is so wonderful. Plus, she created it before our blog was in “full bloom”. 
Those who follow Sheila’s blog know that she is not new to our product. Before she created the “SOAR” project, she crafted another beauty!!
Thank you Sheila. Your creative powers rival that of a superhero!!!!

Last week, after 31 years and 15 albums, R.E.M. closed their doors on the band. What does this have to do with the crafting world? Absolutely NOTHING!!!
Or does it?
While some of you may think of the legendary rock band when they hear “REM”, most of us think of the Rare Earth Magnet that is built into our patented CRI-Kits holder.
What is a rare earth magnet? It is a magnet that is roughly 3 times the strength of the traditional ferrite magnets. This allows us to maintain the sleek look of our holder and also be extremely strong and effective. Those who are familiar with our gel-pen holder know how amazing this is.
We make holders that support all the major die-cutting machines out there. Namely, Cricut®, Pazzles®, Silhouette SD®, and Sizzix eclips®.
Join the fun!!!
Just a quick little note thanking all of you who visited us at the Portland, OR Convention Center for the Scrapbook Expo this last Friday and Saturday. It was so great to see all of you. Thank you for your support and business. See you at the NEXT show!!!!

4 tasty options and two of them are very healthy!!
No, Creative Inserts (CRI-Kits) is not going into the food industry. We wanted to remind you all that we sell the wonderful Slice(TM) Precision Cutter on our site.
You will notice that this tool is bundled with many of the group offerings. It is a must have tool for crafters.
What is a Slice(TM) Precision Cutter you ask?
- This cutter has a Zirconium Oxide blade that lasts longer than steel and will not (cannot) rust.
- It has such a uniquely stylish shape.
- It is much safer than a metal blade.
- It stays sharp forever.
- It works wonderfully for intricate and detailed shapes.
- Ergonomic for right and left handers.
You know you need one. Go to www.cri-kits.com and get one today, afterall a portion of the proceeds from every Slice Precision Cutter sale goes directly toward Autism Awareness!! Thank you.
