 Don't believe my last comment made it. Love the video along with the music. I would love to win - lots of time on my hand with recent loss of job. This would make a great gift to give to daughter-in-law. Hope I win.

Distrezz-it-All....I love you!

I really do!! I really never tried the distrezzed shabby-chic look but after receiving my Distrezz-it-All....I can't stop!!! This is the first little album I tested my new machine on and boy...I am hooked now!! I love the results and can I just say it is so fast!! I think that is why I never really got into the technique...I wasn't willing to take the time. Well, I still don't I don't have to worry about distrezzing time, thanks to my new friend! Here's a little album I did for a friend using my new Distrezz-it-All!

I not only distrezzed the Cover-All, the cardstock, the patterned paper, but also the photos....and I so love how they turned out!!

Zutter products used: Bind-it-All, 3x4 Craft Cover-All, Distrezz-it-All!

I hope you are inspired to get yourself a Distrezz-it-All. It is so worth it and you will simply love the results! I hope this little project will inspire you to try it too!! Happy creating with Zutter!!

Get your Dose of Zutter "Ds" at Summer CHA - Sneak Peek

It's not a vitamin....but Zutter "D's" are the newest little hardware that will be available for wholesale order at Summer CHA and available at retail real soon.

Zutter D's work alongside Hang-it-Alls - or can be used alone -  to add yet another enhancement to custom projects, particularly for home decor and multi-dimensional projects.  Insert the Zutter D around the loops of the owire in your project and hang from a Hang-it-All, or other hook to display your album, home decor project or anything at all!

Zutter D's won't interfere with the function of the owire, so don't worry about your binding creation.  Who knew something so little could be so DDDDDDang cute!

We're very excited about this little addition to the hardware line at Zutter. We want to give something away, but since we don't have the Zutter D's yet, we will give away some "sister" items.  How about a pack of each color of Hang-it-Alls to FIVE lucky posters.  If you haven't seen these little gems yet, check out the video from Winter CHA! 

Leave a comment and we will draw random winners on June 16.

Sunny California Spinner Album

California holds a very big spot in my heart so I wanted to make a special mini album that I could display year round and what better way than the with the Zutter Spinner Album Kit. It has everything you need to make an amazing home decor mini album that can be displayed anywhere in your house.

For my "Sunny California" spinner album I wanted it to be bright and colorful so I painted the base a tourquoise to match the paper.

I used the index tab pages to seperate the album into all the different things we saw and did in California, like Disneyland, San Diego Zoo and Huntington Beach etc. Then I used the regular pages in between for all my photos.

I added some small letter stickers to each page. For some of the pages like the one below I used Glimmer Mist and made a sunset looking background.

To finish it off I added a diecut and title to the top of the center rod.

Making one of these awesome spinner albums couldn't be easier than with the Zutter Spinner Album Kit!

Note: The Zutter Spinner Album Kit comes with the customizable wooden base, chipboard tabbed pages and chipboard pages, as well as cardstock pages.  A length of owire is also included to assemble the spinner. It is a completely customizable project from start to finish!

Magnetic/Chalkboard project with Clipboard Wood

I had never used Zutter's ClipBoard Wood Covers before so I wanted to do something fun and different with them. This is a quick little project that just requires clipboard page (I used the 10x10) some magnetic paint and a frame! First paint the clipboard according to the manufacturer's instructions. The clipboard is perfect for this project as it is sturdy, the paint adheres nicely and evenly! Once your page is painted you can add a frame and decorate how you would like. I used old Scrabble pieces to spell "LOVE" and just attached small magnets to the back of them. I also did this to the crocheted flowers as well. I found some inexpensive photo sleeves and added my photos to the board. A little chalk to draw some hearts and you have an adorable little board that can be changed out and personalized whenever you are in the mood!!

Happy creating with Zutter!!!
