I think we have a NEW Addiction...

We know these dies have been around for a little while, but we recently fell in love with these beauties! Memory Box is a wonderful manufacturer of metal dies for use in the Big Shot or Cuttlebug. What I love most about these dies are the delicate designs. They are just a little different than the other companies out there--different can be refreshing. Just looking at these designs makes me want to rip out the papers and embellishments and create something. Now you may be asking yourself, where does the addiction come into this? Well, we just ordered almost every die in the Memory Box Collection and they should be arriving in a couple of weeks.

Here is a sampling of what we have in stock (at the moment), come and check these out before they are gone. We sold a large selection of dies before they even made it on the shelf.

Fringe Border

Cocoa Bean Butterfly

Amana Circle

Whimsy Circle

Lace Circle

Elegant Scrollwork

Pinwheel Posie

Scalloped Posie

Quinn Flourish

Sofia Heart

They are beautiful aren't they? I must say, for a die this intricate, they cut extremely well and the paper falls away. Here is a You Tube video on how to use Memory Box dies-- 


Here is some creative inspiration via You Tube to end this post...
If you would like to be put on a wait list for any Memory Box dies, please let us know. Send us an email (langley@clipperstreet.com) with your name and phone number and the dies you are interested in. We would be happy to add you to our wait list.

We are also excited to have ordered these dies as well! The popular Window Box Dies...perfect for so many paper crafting projects and so ADORABLE.

Have a great week, see you soon.
