I needed a quick gift for a friend and decided some letterpress-like gift tags would be just right.
Using my Fiskars Fuse, I was able to make more than a dozen tags in a about 20 minutes:
The Fuse (which I wrote about in this post) cuts, colors and creates a letterpress impression in one fell swoop. I use regular inks — pigment or dye (although a well-inked pigment pad seems to give better coverage).
Here’s a closer look:
The bad news is, Fiskars is no longer promoting the Fuse and I couldn’t find it on the Fiskars Web site. The good news? The Fuse is still available online, just search for it.
Thanks for stopping by!

I may have already emailed this, but I may have done it only in my head: Last Thursday was SOOOOOO much fun.
Do you know when/what your next class will be?
Thanks, Jean
