In just over a week I will be attending the CHA show in Anaheim to demonstrate and promote my brand new release of Sizzix dies!
Pop 'n Cuts are similar to Movers & Shapers dies, in that they are magnetic. In fact, they are the same height as Movers & Shapers, which means you will be able to use your Pop 'n Cuts interchangeably with all the other magnetic dies from Sizzix.
The best way to understand the system is to watch this 5 minute video:
Pop 'n Cuts will be available in stores this spring. (Exact shipping month still being determined, so I will update as soon as I hear)
If you are attending the CHA show, I would love to show you the dies in person. Here are the times I will be demonstrating at the show:
Sizzix Booth #949
Sunday 2-5 pm
Monday 10am - Noon
Tuesday 2-6 pm
Wednesday 10am - Noon
Additionally, I am teaming up with Eileen Hull to teach a Sizzix class called Love is in the Air that will feature two cards made with Pop 'n Cuts. The class is currently sold out, but sometimes space opens up closer to the show, so check with CHA about registration.
I will also be teaching with Pop 'n Cuts at the Sizzix Basix class being offered Saturday morning. If you are a retailer coming to the show, check with your Sizzix Rep to see if there is still space in that class. It is a free class sponsored by Sizzix, not an official CHA class, so you won't find it on the CHA site.
On the subject of Pop 'n Cuts, they have been in the works for nearly two years, so it is exciting to see them finally come to market. Why so long? Well first, although they resemble Movers and Shapers, they are actually something new. The inserts are part of the function of the card, not just a decorative hole. The manufacturing has to be very accurate for the dies to cut and function properly. Plus, inserts will be sold separately, so they must be manufactured to the exact same size every time so they will fit in the Base die. Although it has been excruciating to wait, I am so glad that everything has been perfected!
Pop 'n Cuts all fold exactly the same way, and it's SIMPLE! Been looking for an easy way to make pop-ups? Pop 'n Cuts is the answer!
Love this new system and can not wait to try it!

Oh yeah I got to have these-brilliant!

How cool are these! Especially with the option to use your mover and shapers. I have a lot of them from Tim's line and I see so many options for this. When will the base tray ship?

Fantastic, you are amazing

All that kitting looks like fun (not). Can't wait to use your new Pop N Cuts with my students. Here's to Women In Engineering!
