Fiskars The AdvantEdge™ Punch System
NEW to Craft Warehouse stores is The AdvantEdge™ Punch System with large interchangeable border punch cartridges (sold separately) to add perfectly aligned decorative borders to paper craft projects. Unlike most border punches that require you to carefully move the paper, our slide-and-lock technology lets you keep the paper in one place and slide the punch cartridge from one lock-in slot to the next. This keeps every punch perfectly spaced along the edge of your paper, eliminating mistakes that waste craft paper!
When you buy the Advent-edge tool it comes with a starter cartridge- flower garden, and also includes an adapter plate to work with Fiskars smaller Interchangeable Border Punch cartridges (released last year). Craft Warehouse also has five different Advent-edge punches that are brand NEW!
Features
- Ideal for adding a perfectly aligned decorative border to large crafting materials
- Slide-and-lock technology lets you keep the paper in one place while the punch cartridge slides from one lock-in slot to the next for a perfectly aligned border
- Helps eliminate mistakes that waste costly craft materials and cause reworks
- Longer handle reduces punch force for easy use
- Punches larger, 2.75" border designs than any border punch on the market
- Magnetic paper clamp secures your paper
- Starter set includes “Flower Garden” border punch cartridge
- Works with a wide variety of Interchangeable Border Punch cartridges (sold separately)
- Includes an adapter plate to work with our smaller Interchangeable Border Punch cartridges
- Cartridges stack for space-saving storage and easy transport
- Lifetime warranty

Washi Week
Welcome to another day where we are featuring fun and unique ways to use washi tape! If you are just joining us today, make sure to check out Monday's post, here, to find out all about washi tape.
Washi Tape by Queen & Co. now available at Craft Warehouse stores
Today we are featuring graphic designer & DIY artist, Elizabeth Goodman, with her fun washi tape home decor projects!
Here is are simple vases created by just cutting the tape to size and sticking them on! Fast and easy for a great look in any room.
Here, Elizabeth placed the tape on paper and carefully punched along the tape. Then she removed the tape from the paper and added it to her glassware for great party decor! Adding a little piece to a tooth pick and cutting a triangle out of it makes cute bunting for these cupcakes.
Using the same technique you can create one of a kind platters for any season!
Note: On non-food curved surface edges, apply Mod Podge to keep the tape from pealing up.
Elizabeth also has a great tutorial on her blog, how to make one of a kind twisty ties. These would be great for a party, retreat, gift, or lunch sack!
Make sure to check back in tomorrow, for another day of Washi Week!

6x6 Paper Pads For Scrapbooking by Design Team Member Amanda Sherman
If you’ve been in any scrapbooking aisle in the last couple years you’ve noticed that 6x6 paper pads are taking the industry by storm. It seems every manufacturer is releasing their papers in a 6x6 size as well as the full 12x12 size.
There are definite benefits to the 6x6 size, especially the obvious, for cardmakers. The smaller size is perfect for the smaller canvas. In addition to just being smaller in size, the scale is usually smaller as well. Most commonly it’s 25% of the the original scale (however I have found some exceptions as I’ll show).
But the benefits go farther than just cards. These paper pads are a great option for the scrapper on a budget. It allows the consumer to have the entire, or majority, of a paper line at a more affordable cost. One more benefit is the smaller scale for scrapbooking layouts too.
To demonstrate this, I pulled from my stash some papers that I had in both the 6x6 size and the 12x12 size. Then I punched circles with my 1 1/4” punch in both the full scale and the 6x6 scale. I have photographed those punch outs as well as the sheets of paper together.
The full size is on the left, the 6x6 is on the right in all the pictures.

My Minds Eye Stella & Rose (both sides of paper)
Echo Park Happy Days (this one appears to not have as dramatic reduction in scale)
