Whew! The last week has been a whirlwind on my very handy Die-cut machine! We are working on all the seasons for some commercials for CraZy TACKz and had to come up with some designs reflecting each season! Not all are readily available at our local party stores this time of year. Because I believe that CraZy TACKz and Crafting go hand-in-hand, I am going to feature some of the garlands and vignettes that we created to set the stage! The first pictures are the vignette of snowmen and snowflakes for our Christmas Holiday theme. Look how cool this tackz works to hang everything up! We can hang multiple items on this one tack with a hook if we want to. The next photos are the completed vignette. If you look closely, you will see a black cat in the mirror. Bad luck just doesn't go with Christmas...so we will just appreciate him for the naughty cat he is...climbing on the kitchen nook table! His name is "Terror". I am sure you have heard about self-fulfilling prophecies? Case in point with this kitty.
This picture is just to show placement. It does not have all of the mechanics of the design "hidden" as they would be for the actual holiday. I added some ribbon and 1" silver and pearl Christmas balls to the garland to finish it (after the photo was taken). For the actual holiday, I would add some greenery or other pretties to give it a proper finish!
Here is another close-up of the die-cut decorations. CraZy TACKz are the way to go when hanging up all of your holiday decorations. Our commercials will reflect this when the CraZy TACKz Kid makes an appearance and saves the day! Stay tuned for more!
Halloween! This Holiday is right around the corner. Did you know that this is 2nd only to Christmas in Retail? As you can see, CTZ to the rescue again!
Valentine's Day is a ways away..but we are filming it now. See the hooks coming out of the hearts? You can hang your balloons and streamers from those hooks. Forget about tape, staples and plain old tacks. This tack with a hook is the quick and handy fix.
Next up.....Happy Birthday!
We are hanging balloons and ribbons from the hooks here too!
Last up is the 4th of July. We can celebrate our freedom everyday in this great country we live in. God Bless America! Every day is a blessing.
The American flag will hang above the garland...and balloons will be hung from the hooks. Stay tuned for more. This is just one element of the CraZy TACKz commercial. These die-cut decorations are on there way to Austin, Texas today. They will be used in seasonal commercials and I will let you in on the finished product as soon as we get it all done! Fun stuff!
If you have any questions about the tools I used to create these designs, I would be glad to share information to help you have success with your own projects. Just send me an e-mail at

Happy Crafting!
