Xyron Creatopia Growth Chart Project and my New Year's Resolution

We're getting back in to the Creatopia swing after the Christmas holiday and I am LOVING this latest project!  Perfect for the newest edition to any family - this darling growth chart (and yes - I believe I say that verbatim on the video!) is easy to create with the Xyron Creatopia...even for those of us who have a love/hate relationship with our sewing machines!!

Speaking of sewing machines...I have been SO inspired by this blog entry from Tina Cockburn that my New Year's resolution is going to be to actually SEW SOMETHING!!!  Her quilts are absolutely stunning and the colors are just heavenly!!  My "sewing phobia" has always been keeping the squares and appliques on the fabric while I'm trying to sew...but I think with the Creatopia I might actually be able to do it!  Thank you Tina for the inspiration!

Xyron Creatopia - Fabric Refillz and other adhesive goodness!!

Day 2 of the Xyron Creatopia video bonanza...a few videos demonstrating the different adhesives available in this fabulous new machine!

ADHESIVE AND LAMINATE REFILLZ

The Creatopia delivers the edge to edge adhesive you know and love from Xyron, but now does it in 12 INCHES!!

In addition, for the first time EVER, Xyron has created a machine that will take any product up to 1/2" thick!!  This allows you to apply adhesive on foam, wood, plastic, acrylic, memorabilia, almost anything your little heart desires!

ADHERING THICKER ITEMS

FABRIC REFILLZ

For those of you who are fabric crafters - quilting, embroidery or other projects, the Creatopia will change the way you create!!

I freely admit, until Creatopia came along I was TERRIFIED of fabric crafts because:

I didn't feel I had the expertise or patience to try to keep fabric in place as I ran it through my sewing machine.

I didn't feel comfortable using fabric on my paper crafting projects because I had NO CLUE how to adhere it to my projects without using some sort of wet glue mess.

I couldn't get the hang of temporary stitches or pinning stuff in place.But NO MORE!!  Xyron has created this AMAZING fabric adhesive that will do away with your temporary stitches and your pins, the adhesive won't gum up your needle and is machine washable, and there is no wait time for glue to dry on your paper projects!  It is HEAVEN!!  Thank you Xyron for making me craftier!!
