Dani or Susan,
Do you have any dimensions on the new dies yet? I am particularly interested in the popcorn tub, the gift bag, and the matchboxes.
Thanks,
Lisa

popcorn tub - 3.5" tall and 2.5" square at the top. Volume wise - it's the largest box they've made to date. I have a picture to blog here in a little bit - it'll give you a better visual!
gift bag - the handle bag - is 4 5/8" tall from base to top of handle and it's 1 1/16" wide...my Canon point-and-shoot camera fits inside it perfectly...it's adorable! If you have the lunch sack from Yearbook release, it's basically the same size, but with handles!
Blog will post later this morning...pictures and sizes galore!!!

I have a question too (not to hijack this thread, but I am) - the circle and square strips - do they cut individual circles and squares or are they somehow connected, because it looks like they cut out individually. Thanks.

the Square Punch and Circle Punch dies are a bit different than we're used to - YES they are a strip die, but they are intended to cut out 10 small {1"} and 7 larger {1.5"} shapes. Lots of the same shape - so fun for confetti or for mass producing cards or using the negatives on a page. However - I have discovered that the small of each pattern fits inside the rectangle belly band, similar to how the belly band inserts fit inside the oval belly bands! I'm working on some projects ladies, and pictures...they will be on the blog in a bit. Processing the pictures and trying to make sure I'm getting the best pictures to show stuff...HMMMMM...maybe a LIVE! tonight would be best?  whatcha think??? |

I can't find much info about the matchbook dies. Even Lifestyle Crafts doesn't have pics up yet. Susan's blog is far and away the most complete for this release, but I'd love to know more about the matchbook dies. ETA I watched Susan's Ustream video and got tons of info on the dies. The matchbooks are pretty small, but so cute. I can't take them out of my cart! www.ustream.tv/recorded/14812313 |

Meg glad you found the info you were looking for. The matchbooks are a bit on the small side but OH SO CUTE when you start thinking of little mug shots you can drop in there...a cute little purse album for grandma, or a thank you gift for a weekend hostess...fun little tidbit that don't take much money or supplies to whip up, but mean so much! I'm heading over to the blog to put the video up there!!  |

Great ideas! I'm going to have to get them, so I need all sorts of ideas to justify the impulse!
One of my 9yo sons came in while I was watching the video, and apparently we neeeeed the cupcake stand and the BlowPop holder (what he has dubbed the cracker box). He's my crafting buddy and thinks they're really cool.
I can see using the cracker box/lolly holder for class treats, but I have serious doubts as to the practicality of the cupcake stand. I don't see myself putting 50 of those babies together (enough for two classrooms) for class treats!
