QuicKutz Blog: Adventures in Die-Cutting

Happy Canada Day!

 I’m a pretty clean and simple kind of person.  I like straight lines and smooth edges.  My closet is organized by length of sleeve and sub-categorized by color.  OCD?  Maybe a little (at least I don’t have to make sure my golf tees are all facing the right way… Gary).  Anyway, I’ve never been one to put bumper stickers all over my clean, shiny car.  But ever since I had to give up my Beautiful British Columbia license plates five years ago, I have lamented the loss of my Canadian identity.  Today is Canada day, and in honor of my home and native land, I gave my car a temporary alter-ego, just a little something to show my Canadian pride.  I didn’t want anything flashy, something more like the little tattoo you get in an inconspicuous place, the tiny rebellious streak in an otherwise straight-arrow life.  So I used the Silhouette to cut out this Canadian maple leaf in red vinyl and put it in the corner of my car’s rear window.  Now I can really sport my Canadian pride, while keeping with my minimalistic lifestyle.  Happy Canada Day!

Earn a free 2x2 die and a chance to a win an Epic 6!

Hello all of my QuicKutz friends and family! I haven't been blessed with the opportunity to write on the blog for almost a year! I guess my last post was a little too disappointing or something and they didn't want me back! I promise to try and make this one less disappointing.

 

In fact, what would all of you say about doing a giveaway? We are actually running a fun little promo on Facebook right now- our"add a friend" promo! We are trying to get as many friends on Facebook as possible! (it’s all about being as popular as we can around here) :)

Here is what you do. Just click here to access our "QuicKutz People" Facebook page and add us as a friend. That is it! Not too hard, right? Now, for any of you who have already added us as a friend, you can have one or more of your friends add us to become eligible for this too. Have them place YOUR name in the "Add a Personal Message" field so that you get the credit. Any individual who has one or more friends add us will receive a free 2x2 die!! When either you or one of your friends adds us, send an email to Andrea Smith at asmith@quickutz.com and she will send you an email with the list of 2x2 dies to choose from.

Lastly and perhaps the best part of this deal—the individual who gets the most people to add "QuicKutz People" as their friend will receive a FREE EPIC SIX!! Talk about fun and exciting!
