the kind of parcel that means samples and deadlines..
the new 2013 goodies from Fiskars have arrived in the cubbyhole and don't quote me but I'm assuming they will be available to buy in the UK after their launch at the Craft Hobby + Stitch Trade Show (Stitches) in February....
and the new Border Punch System
with interchangeable cartridges...saving lots of space on storage and the border punch cartridges also work in the Advantedge...cool
Time to don the Fiskars hat again and get to work but first I need to do battle with all that packaging...I know it's intended to protect the product but from what...being dropped from 35,000ft or perhaps a nuclear explosion...I'll have lost the will to live by the time I've rescued them all from their "almost impossible to get into" plastic overcoats...if the trusty Fiskars scissors don't work...I might have to look out the chain saw and dynamite and just for once I need to read the instructions on how it all works before I jump in headfirst and make a pig's ear of it all...time for a calm down cuppa me thinks. I'll be back tomorrow to share pics from our fun Christmas Crafting Weekend at The Papeterie

Kath all that packaging is a pain. Good luck with that. I can't wait to see what you do with all those goodies. Good luck & enjoy the cuppa
ReplyDeleteHi Kath ah stash with responsibility attached, sort of two edged sword!
ReplyDeleteAm not sure if it works or if it is too late but read a can opener opens those terrible things rather painlessly if there is such a thing - it is on my try list next time I have some :D Shaz in oz.x
WOW what a good time you are going to have. Caroline xxx
ReplyDeleteWOW...Wonderful Goodies you are going to have fun Kath... After you get rid of that packaging.. Hugs May x x x

ReplyDeleteGuess Christmas came early to Westhills then! Jx
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see what you create whit all those lovely stuff. You should have got Buddy to open it for you! Lots of hugs Anesha.
ReplyDeleteOh dear Kath, what is that expression - no rest for the wicked and less for the weary - you will be weary one after that big parcel of stuff! Hope you get a bit of respite to do your cards and lists. Good luck with it. Hugs, Anne x
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Buddy's teeth might help??
ReplyDeleteI'm not being serious - but the Tim Holtz scissors usually do the trick.
That will fill the recycling bins pretty quick too.

My word Kath that's a lot of packaging! All the best as you tackle it and wrestle it all off. :) I wonder if you are going to have the Fiskars Fuse machine to play with any time soon. It looks very interesting! Meantime can't wait to see your samples as always.
