Two posts in one. That’s right, this post is a double feature.
The first feature is a sneak peek of a new Holiday Shape Squeeze Punch. This cute little gingerbread man has a yummy name too, “Sugar & Spice”. Isn’t he absolutely adorable? If you ask me, I can already hear him say “Catch me if you can, I’m the Gingerbread Man!” I’ve got a funny feeling that he’s going to be hard to find on the store shelves later this year.
Fiskars will be introducing a fun assortment of new Squeeze Punches at CHA later this week. They include: 4 shapes for the winter holiday season, 4 shapes for Halloween and 4 scalloped shapes. (Those scallop punches are going to be hot, hot, hot!) I’m super excited!
The second part of my double feature is a huge announcement. Earlier this year, Fiskateers had the opportunity to help name some future squeeze punch shapes through an exclusive on-line survey. For those of you who are new to the board, this is just one of the fun things that we Fiskateers get to do. You’ve heard that Fiskars loves their Fiskateers and this just goes to show that they not only listen to our suggestions, they act on them too. In the case of EXACT duplicate submissions, instead of picking just one winner for each punch, Fiskars has decided to give each Fiskateer listed below the one punch that now holds their winning name.
So, on behalf of the design team of Fiskars, here is a short description of the new shapes, their names, and the Fiskateers who helped name them:
- Circle Scallop Punch: Seal of Approval… Jen Macknick
- Heart Scallop Punch: My Funny Valentine… Angela Daniels
- Oval Scallop Punch: Cameo Appearance… Linda Auclair, Angela Daniels
- Square Scallop Punch: Square-a-Licious… Mary Gibson
- Candy Corn: You’re So Corny… Lea Sanders
- Pumpkin: Jack… Linda Auclair, Cassie Larson, Michelle McDonald, Patti Church, Jen Bybee
- Ghost: Hide & Go Boo… Sara Robison
- Pine Tree: I Pine For You… Patty Williams, Pammie Jo Ford
- Holly: Happy Holly Days… Cindy Brooking, Heather Quamme, Kim Flados, Maxine Hodges, Rebecca Harper
- Snowflake: A Total Flake… Stephenie Hamen
- Halloween Cat: Scaredy Cat… Amy Harle, Amanda Walter, Cherrie Smutnick, Coroline Kelley, Peggy Meyers, Candy 3015, Sarah Bucek, Michelle Brueckmann, Maxine Hodges, Joan Lagasse, Cindy Brooking, Jo-ann Leblanc, Trish Uveges, Jessica Schaub, Carlee (redeva), Cassie Larson, Heather Strenzwilk, Amy Vanderkooi, Diane Davison, Robin Swanson, Ursela (ursmerkt) Laura Gilhuly, Rosann Hoyle
If you see your name listed above, please email carrie@brainsonfire.com with your name, address and the name of the squeeze punch you helped name. Punches will be mailed out to the lucky winners in the weeks ahead once they are available for shipping. Congratulations!

July 15th, 2008 at 1:42 pmHoly COW! I was so stumped for color names that I couldn’t think of one. But now I thought of TWO squeeze punch names (well, me and Linda)?! I am seriously freaking out. I LOVE that Fiskars does this. I’m going to autograph mine now- I feel famous! LOL!
