Wow, we have a lot of things to celebrate around here - the launch of the Fuse Creativity System, changes to the gallery, and new Leads coming on board.  I think that calls for a big prize - but of course I'm going to make you work for it!  Sharpen up those pencils, and dust off those creative writing skills, it's time for you to tell me a tale.  Not just any tale though - it has to...

Fused Popcorn Box

Author: Stephenie (@Fiskars HQ) #3 | Category: Crafts, Scrap Life, Tools, Techniques, Projects | Posted: May 23, 2012 at 7:44 am

I have gotten a couple questions about the 12x12 dies and plates that we will be coming out with, so I wanted to show you an example. Our 12x12 dies will all create some sort of dimensional box or container at the release.  They are steel rule dies, so these will cut through heavier materials like chipboard, foam, felt, etc... For this project I just used cardstock.  However, what I wa...

Fuse-ing Today

Author: Angela #9 | Category: Crafts, Tools, Techniques, Projects | Posted: May 22, 2012 at 4:44 pm

I mentioned that I've been saving pretty soda cans for projects to use with my Fuse but for my first sneak-peek, I thought I'd show you that any soda (or, let's be real here, beer) can works beautifully. Here's a little tag I did for a gift using a soda can inside out. See the pretty embossing detail? The back is pretty too but I wanted you to see the deep emboss. I think this shape would be prett...

Author: Stephenie (@Fiskars HQ) #3 | Category: Tools, video tutorials | Posted: May 22, 2012 at 8:37 am

Hi all! We wanted to share with you our How-To video that shows you how the system works, as well as what you get in the starter set.  It also shows you some of the other products available. This machine takes full 12x12 sheets of paper - it is a pretty big and heavy duty machine!  It uses two different types of dies - they look very similar, but are different.  One set cuts thro...

Handmade Paper, Fabric, Leather, Suede Oh My!

Author: Cheryl #2 | Category: Uncategorized | Posted: May 21, 2012 at 9:16 am

Yes, you guessed it.  The Fuse cuts through handmade paper, fabric, leather, suede even with it's soft and pliable nature. 

You'll spy in this photo some of just that . . .

The circle towards the top is thick handmade paper that I used the circle Fuse plate.  Love how easy it goes through all textures.  The squares on the sides are made of suede and again, one easy pass and the Fuse rand through suede.  I also used fabric which you only see a peek but more to come.

The possibilities are endless.

Fluttering By with another Fuse Peek

It took just one pass through the Fuse with a butterfly die and plate using glitter paper by DCWV to create this beautiful embellishment.  You can't tell from the photo, but it measures 4" wide by 3" tall. I love the detail of the debossed area on this sparkly little butterfly.  ...
