    LOved the outtakes! The biggest project I ever did was make 200 invitations for my granddaughter’s wedding 3 years ago. I am already a fan on your FB! And yep! I wondered if you were going to have a giveaway. Not sure I like being the first one to comment, though, as I would love to win this. Thanks for the opportunity. And thanks for sharing the plethora of crafting info that is so inspirational!

    • amber on said:

      Someone’s gotta be first and I’m so happy it’s you! Your comments are the best, Sue!

  2. OH MY GOODNESS! I was dying at your outttakes!! It’s like being with you all over again! Plus, those dance moves!! Girl, you need to get yourself onto Soul Train or something! Thanks for the laugh. I was actually heading over to your page to link it to a blog post, and I had to stop and watch the outtakes.

    The biggest paper-crafting project I’ve ever taken on?? Probably, heat embossing the invitations to my Texas Wedding Reception in addition to creating all the paper-crafted centerpieces and decor for my wedding….glad, that’s over!

    You know that I’m a follower here, and at Facebook, but now I am a Fiskars follower too! GREAT SERIES girl! I totally enjoyed the video tutorials, how-to’s and projects. I don’t even want to know how long it took for you to put this all together!! Fabulous work as always Ambular!

    • amber on said:

      Thanks Emily! I love having you in my corner. Such an awesome cheerleader you are!

  3. Shelley on said:

    I signed up to decorate bulletin boards in the special ed room at the elementary school, and it turned out to be soooo much fun!

  4. One of my biggest craft projects was making baby shower invitations one for a co-worker.

  5. I liked and gave my love to the Fiskar page. I let them know you sent me.

  6. gaby on said:

    Probably all of our wedding components combined -invites, rehearsal invites, programs, favors/seating cards, table numbers, signage and of course thank yous!

  9. Jennifer on said:

    Loved your videos! The biggest project I’ve done is 60 invitation for a bridal shower… It was a tea themed event and there were (what seemed like) 50 layers to each one! It took forever to figure out a system… But once I got going it was a lot of fun. Thanks for the chance to win!

    • amber on said:

      I’ve done this too! I signed up to make some elaborate tea party invitations for a bridal shower. Um…let’s just say, I won’t be doing THAT again! If I never see another tea party invite again, it will be TOO SOON!

  10. Sheri E. on said:

    All the videos were great, and the outtakes were just the frosting on the cake. My biggest project to date is making packs of cards for Christmas gifts. I make 6 of the same card. This last December I had 78 cards by the time I was done. I’m going to start even earlier for next year.

  11. I’m a big fan! I’ve just finished one of the largest jobs I’ve done – made 80 invitations for a friend’s wedding – which involved plenty of stamping, cutting, sticking and punching – my hand is still sore from punching – had to do 6 punching actions for each invitation! Phew! Thanks for the chance to win ;)

    • amber on said:

      You, my dear are a GREAT FRIEND!!!

  12. Jennifer on said:

    OH EM GEE that was too funny! And what an amazing giveaway….so did not see it coming. So far the biggest paper crafting job I’ve done to date was a set of 100 thank you cards for a friends wedding. I estimate that it took me a total of 8 hours over the course of a few days to get them done….lots of paper cutting, stamping (several stamps and colors), punching (paper nothing else ha) and gluing. You can see them here….http://withlovefromsophienme.blogspot.com/search/label/Wedding%20Card

    Please excuse the poor pictures….I’m waiting for you to finish your taking photos series LOL!

  16. Lalo on said:

    OMGosh I totally LOLed for real!!! I want to win a Fuse soooo my BIGest paper crafting project to date is… Making invitations, paper lamps, and a sign in/mini album for my mom’s hula graduation. It was a labor of love and I had to get it done in a little time with no help. STRESS but a happy kine.

  19. Dianna on said:

    My largest paper project was for a friend. She’s teacher and needed quite a variety of words (for the bulletin board). She needed them in all kinds of shapes, sizes, quantities, etc. Luckily, I have a cutting machine, but it was still ALOT of work. Side note: When she came over to get everything, I stepped out onto our porch, that unbeknownst to me, had a loose board. I fell all the way through and broke a bone in my foot. Thinking back, I’m sure it looked quite hilarious, but it certainly wasn’t at the time!

    • amber on said:

      OUCH!!! That does NOT sound fun! Good thing that accident didnt make it onto an “outtake” reel!

  20. Tanja S. on said:

    I do hope Australians can enter this draw – I adore letterpressing although I struggle with the basic equipment I have. My largest project was to make a scrapbooking album of my Grandma’s life. She was in the earlier stages of Dementia at the time but could still remember a fair bit. We looked at the album many times over the following years so it was a great help to her (and us).

  21. Tanja S. on said:

    It looks like the go is to write seperae comments for 1. 2. and 3. I have already liked Fiskars on Facebook some time ago.

  22. Tanja S. on said:

    I just liked Damask Love as well.

  23. JOAN on said:

    Great videos Ambar. Thanks for taking the time to do all that research for us ;) My biggest project has been making the wedding invitations for a friend. It took me one week to cut and assemble all of them and every ones loved the results ;)

  24. JOAN on said:

    I like Fiskars in Facebook and left a comment there.

  25. JOAN on said:

    I like Damask Love on FB too ;)

  26. Now THIS is quite the giveaway!!! Would love to win this MEGA machine!!! :D Thanks for the chance of winning one!!! How exciting!!! (:

  27. I “liked” you on Facebook (Chic N Crafty) (;

  28. I went and “liked” Fiskars on FB and left a comment telling them you sent me there! (:

  29. Marion on said:

    Not sure if this is open to international peeps as well…but you never know! My wedding invitations was my biggest gig! I laugh when I look at the now…11 years on!

  30. Oh, I can see you had some fun filming, lol. The biggest paper crafting project I’ve ever taken on would be making a variety of cards to sell at a fund raiser. Woo! just thinking about it I get exhausted, I was under so much pressure to make enough cards so we would not sell out, I took a break from crafting after that.

    • amber on said:

      I totally know what you mean, Sandy. As much as we love paper crafting, mass production projects can put you in a state of overload, right!

  31. I “liked” Fiskars on FB back in maybe October 2012 trying to win a Fuse then, so I just left a comment, also “liked” Damask Love page too, thanks for a chance to win.

  32. Michelle W on said:

    And the biggest papercrafting project I have done was my very first – making my own wedding invitations. Oh, if I knew then what I know now, LOL!

  33. Katie Lavine on said:

    Just discovered your blog! You are so talented! I have learned Souch in the past two days. Thank you! Love your videos. I came back today looking for more and the out takes are so cute! I really did t expect the chance to win a fuse. How exciting!! Thanks for sharing your talents with all if us!

    • amber on said:

      YAY!!! I love hearing from new readers! It’s great to have you Katie and I hope to see lots more of you:-) Are you a paper crafter, yourself? I’d love to get to know you!

  34. Katie Lavine on said:

    I have liked fiskars on Facebook for a while. But i did pot that you sent them some love! Did you know they have a “fiskateers” club. It’s awesome too!

  35. Kara on said:

    Loved the outtakes! Biggest project…..probably a baby book for my friend.

    • amber on said:

      Baby books are a TON of work! A friend of mine did one for her first child, then got pregnant with the second one soon after. His baby book still isn’t done…and did I mention…he’s three!

  36. Katie Lavine on said:

    I just found you on Facebook! Love!! And thanks again for this great chance!!

  37. Kara on said:

    Liked ya on Facebook!

  38. Kara on said:

    Liked Fiskars too!

  39. Robin on said:

    Biggest project I ever took on was agreeing to do 2 sets of wedding invitations within a 1 month time span, while working full time. It actually turned me off paper crafting for a while! Seeing the Fiskars Fuse tutorials on Damask Love has got my creative juices flowing again…finally! So, thanks, Amber!

    • amber on said:

      WHAT! You are superwoman! That a lot to take on, Robin!

  40. Nina on said:

    Thanks for the video, love that you’re sharing your outtakes with us! :) My biggest “assignment” was 75 wedding invitations + rsvp cards for friends and this Christmas I made more than 50 cards, which was also a whopper. So maybe a machine like the FUSE would be exactly what I need for tackling my ever-growing christmas card recipient list :) )

    • amber on said:

      The fact that many of the Fiskars dies can cut through ten sheets at once, is a definitely benefit for all that mass production of cards!

  41. aaga on said:

    I’ve been making cards for only a year, so my biggest challenges was my holiday cards…lots of them and in a few different designs. Thanks for the chance!

  42. Nina on said:

    P.S. I have liked Damask Love on Facebook!

  43. Robin on said:

    Oh…was already following Damask Love on FB!

  47. Theresa P. on said:

    Hi Amber! Just a quick thank you for the whole series of Fuse videos. They were great! The outtakes put more of a personal spin to things, apart from being hilarious! My biggest project was the whole wedding package for my neice’s wedding. 250 invitations, response cards, table numbers, shower invites, shower favors…you name it. If it had to do with the wedding and involved paper, my hands were all over it!

    • amber on said:

      So happy you liked the outtakes, Theresa! It’s a pretty accurate look into my personality on a daily basis: crazy, loud and with a healthy dose of “basketcase.” Your wedding project may win for the biggest paper crafting undertaking of them all!! good for you for taking this on! I’m sure it was fabulous!

  48. Theresa P. on said:

    I am now Fiskar’s newest fan!

  51. Deena on said:

    The most intricate thing I have made is a Baby pennant Banner filled with detail – tiny flowers, tassels etc. Been of fan of yours for awhile so Damask Love is already on my facebook page

  56. Allison T. on said:

    What a fun giveaway! I have really enjoyed watching the tutorial videos and I would love to put some of those tips and ideas to work! Thanks!

  57. Connie K on said:

    The biggest project I ever took on was making 50 Christmas cards one year. I realize some people make hundreds, but I waited til the last minute, and I was so sick of my card by the time I was finished! I swore I would never make that many cards at a time, unless someone invented something to make it go a lot faster! Hmmm, a Fuse maybe??

    • amber on said:

      HAHA, Connie! I love your comment. you are right…looks like someone did invent something that could help you out…with the die cutting at least!

  58. Cheryl on said:

    I made the mistake of saying yes to an order of 40 of my most involved card. Next time I’ll know better.

  59. Rhonda H on said:

    The largest project I have done is a 100 baby announcements. Loved the videos. Thanks for the chance.

  60. Susan Starr on said:

    Good morning Amber! I think the biggest paper crafting project I ever did was to make hundreds of starbooks in 3 different sizes for a craft fair. The process of making them was so much fun and the papers so pretty, that I just kept crafting the little books until I filled a small suitcase!

    • amber on said:

      Craft fairs are BRUTAL! So much work – but hopefully worth it in the end! BTW – I am sort of obsessed with your name. I want to change my name to Amber Starr! So much cooler!

  61. Susan Starr on said:

    Went to the Fiskars page and became a fan on facebook, although I have used their products for many years. The Fuse looks like so much fun and I would be ecstatic if I won it!!

  62. Rhonda H on said:

    I liked the Fiskers FB site.

    I have been following Damask Love since Dec 2012 and I love to see what you are doing in the crafting community. Your videos about the Fuse were very good and owning one would be tons of fun! I can see myself trying out all kinds of projects…

  66. Jennifer Sootkoos on said:

    The biggest crafting project I have taken on is wedding invitations. I did my own but I’m doing them for others as well. I only needed 50 invites for my wedding. Which is a breeze compared to the 125 pocketfold invites I’m working on now! Thanks for the chance to win!

  67. Susan T on said:

    Biggest crafting project ever would be doing invitations for a BIG 50th birthday party and shower invitations! I have been making Christmas cards for years for at-least 100 people so to me that is no big deal. Love the outtakes by the way…so YOU.

    My biggest project so far has been the complete wedding stationery for my youngest daughter’s wedding. This included making the save the date cards, invites to the wedding and main reception, invites to the evening reception, order of service, favour boxes and place cards, and thank you cards

  72. Regina on said:

    My biggest project would probably have been silkscreening hundreds of assorted notecards for a client – and then making more for craft show sales.

  73. Connie on said:

    I made Christmas cards one year, and hand cut all the pieces. It would have been easier with this.

    • Karol on said:

      Love the new machine and all the great features.
      And would be happy to add this to my craft room. I am currently working on a creating a variety of cards for all occasions as a birthday, present for my sister and that includes a beautiful folder to house the cards and home made envelopes.

    My biggest project was making a complete train going all the way around the wall in my grandson’s bedroom. Complete with backgrounds of farms, villages, camp sites, woods with animals etc. It’s a real journey around the room. That was 3 years ago and it’s still there.

  97. Ellen M. on said:

    I’ve done party invitations, but have never attempted anything on a larger scale because of the time the hand-crafting takes. This would definitely help that!! Thanks for the chance!

  105. Christi Steinbeck on said:

    The outtakes were Hilarious! I was already a fan of both pages!!! My biggest paper project probably was doing a senior book for my daughter this last year even over their both my daughter babies books. It took her whole senior year to sneak behind her back and get photos from all her friends and her teachers to create a VERY special book to have the day of her graduation party. It still makes me cry to remember HER face and how happy it made her and I couldn’t of made her any better of a graduation present then those memories. She carries it EVERYWHERE! Even to college! Now where is the kleenex???? :)

  106. Love the out takes Amber! So glad you can have fun with yourself:) the biggest projects I’ve ever done were school scrapbooks for my two kids. I don’t scrapbook a lot so I went all out and these things are seriously huge! But we all love looking at them over and over!

  107. Jen W on said:

    The biggest project was probably helping my friend make her wedding invitations. It was a lot of fun and they were beautiful!

    my biggest craft project ever was my wedding. I admit i did have a little help but all of the projects were my ideas & I a big chunk of the work. We made all of our wedding favors, programs, centerpieces, seating cards, menus, decorations & I made 29 Renaissance outfits including my dress & the groom’s attire. That was for 250 guests. Since then I have always made all my own invitations, favors, decorations & cakes for all my kids b-day parties and special occasions, ranging from 24-50 invites (I have twins & always invite the entire class) I have done a couple of weddings, a HS 25th reunion an anniversary party, a couple of baptisms & working on a confirmation now that I just made 50 invitations fro & am now working on the favors! Also working on the planning a Sweet 16 Parisian themed Masquerade Ball for my daughter now :) busy busy!

  128. Alicia E on said:

    Prior to 2 weeks ago I would have said my biggest papercrafting project was my wedding invitations and all that went with that (13 years ago), but after getting inspired to scrapbook again my biggest project is my current – catching up with the last 6.5 years of my daughter’s life. It is so much fun looking back and I know these albums will be treasured. Thanks for the chance to win.

  129. Sandra Grant on said:

    Wow!! what an awesome system!!

  133. Jennie Portwood on said:

    I am in the process of making save the dates, invitations, reply cards, direction and lodging cards, programs, and thank you’s for my son’s wedding. A Fuse would be a God-send. It would rock my world!!!

  134. I would love to have this! The largest prodject I did was making 40 frog, rabbit and duck treat holders for a easter get together. I also made 7 Easter baskets for the kids.

  135. Sue D on said:

    Love the videos (and the outtakes) on how to use this machine. I make cards a lot so they come easy for me. My biggest challenge was making a scrapbook for my dad when he was diagnosed with dementia. Now I would like to make a heritage album for my mom and scrapbooks of my brother and sister of their growing up years.

  136. Dee Parker on said:

    I haven’t ever done a big paper project, just a single card at a time.

    The biggest project I ever took on was making my sister’s wedding invitations. That’s now gonna be eclipsed by the wedding invitations I’ll be doing for a co-worker and add making her wedding cake to that too!!

  143. My biggest was making things for both my girls class rooms. Over 60 kids plus teacher gifts. but it was great. I liked both pages on facebook as well

  148. Sue McRae on said:

    I really enjoyed this series, the Fuse looks like an amazing machine (funny out takes too)! My biggest project was making invitations for a 75th birthday party, not a huge undertaking as there were only 20 invites.

  149. Barbara on said:

    OMGoodness! One word, HILARIOUS! I so enjoy listening to your tutorials the published and flubs just keep me smiling!

    Went to FACEBOOK and liked both your Damask Love Facebook Page and Fiskars too. This tool is so unique and all the projects you have shown – GORGEOUS!

    Thank you and have a crafty day! :-)

    Thanks for the chance to win! I’ve been enjoying this series.

  156. Barb W on said:

    Enjoyed your outtakes – largest project was with a friend, and we made over 1000 thank you’s for your thoughts, prayers etc after her husband passed away. He was a local firefighter and we knew she needed all the help she could get. We used a picture of him in action and designed the card. It was a hugh undertaking but a very rewarding one.

    I already “like” damask love on FB. And I just liked Fiskars as well. I think you should dance more in your videos. That was hilarious!

  160. i’ve made wedding invitations for 3 weddings. for two of those, i partaked in all the banners, table decorations, arrangements, bouquets, etching glasses, and so, so much more. including gift boxes i’ve made for the head tables and guest tables. seed packets full of bird seed…oh my, i could go on about all the things i’ve made. what fun it’s been!

  161. Bonnie on said:

    I once made 80 tri-fold baby announcements. At the time I did not have very many crafting tools and I hand cut all of them. I actually used a fiskar’s template to cut a flower shape from each one. It took me forever but those cards are still among my all time favourites.

    Hello – I’ve just ‘liked’ your facebook page and wow what neat projects!!

  167. Kathy Mc on said:

    I was beginning to think you couldn’t possibly be human with all your awesomeness, but your outtakes prooved you are. Your video series was so helpful, and I’m in love with the Fiskars Fuse and would put it to great use. A few years ago I made 120 Christmas cards (13 steps/card) and also helped my dear sister make 40 different ones for her. She was just getting started making her own cards. It was SO much fun but lots of measuring, cutting, layering, glittering, adhering. You get the picture. Thanks, Amber, for all your inspiration! Sorry I won’t be liking anyone on FB as I’m just not a fan.

    • amber on said:

      LOL! I am totally human – it’s miracle that I didn’t drop any curse words in those outtakes!!! I work hard to present everything in a nice polished way, but behind the scenes I’m a crazy lunatic!!!

  168. Monique on said:

    Great question! my biggest paper crafting project…my gosh I think all my projects are big, never know how to keep it simple! LOL I will say putting together my wedding destination package for all our guests and the wedding party that included a three ring binder save the date with all the information needed for a week of fun in the sun…of course it was cute!!!!! I just wish I had of saved one for me!!!!!

  169. CraftinSus on said:

    My biggest project was a card class for a senior home. I don’t know what I was thinking at the time, but cut and punched out enough cs for 200 cards!!!

  170. Kathy Browns on said:

    I loved the Fiskar Videos, but the out-takes are a riot! Thanks for sharing the fun and making my day!
    The biggest project that I’ve taken on is the Christmas Cards that we send out – not huge in number, but somehow every year I manage to pick one very detailed multi-step card to mass produce. UGH! And after every Christmas, I vow to make only CAS one-layers…… maybe this year!

    You are adorable, Amber in both the outtakes and the final videos and you did a great job presenting the machine– so much so that I would love to win it!! I “liked” Damask Love and Fiskars on Facebook.

    The biggest project that I did was invitations and programs for my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah; it was a labor of love for a special occasion.

  177. My biggest paper project was my daughter’s Halloween wedding invitations and I make more than 75 Christmas cards every year. I am a follower of your Facebook page and have just ‘liked’ the Fiskars page. Your outtakes are a hit, I see.

  178. Diana Donaldson on said:

    I’ve liked the Fiskars Fan page and I am already a fan of Damask Love on Facebook.
    Thank you for all of the Fiskars Fuse videos. Loved the outtakes too! I’ve been trying to decide if I should buy one. Would really be great to win this one!
    I’ve done several large craft projects. I think the most involved was designing and making 200 bride and groom bottled water covers for a friend’s daughter’s wedding.
    Thanks for sharing your crafting talents.

  179. Sara Stidham on said:

    Oh my gosh, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE this! I actually already have fuse dies without the fuse. I made my friend who was getting into crafting buy one. Now I need one!!! Maybe for once I will be lucky!

  180. Amy Ahonen on said:

    The biggest paper craft i have ever done was making a pile pf paper snowflake tree decoration for my family for Christmas one year. I think I made 30.

  181. Laura on said:

    Can’t watch outtakes yet (stupid work) but am looking forward to watching them when I get home!
    Biggest crafting project would have to be invites for my bf’s wedding (75 of them)…plus all the thank you cards, plus all printed materials for the wedding (bar lists, seating chart, etc)…whew!
    Also i’ve liked the fiskars page, with a comment that you sent me, plus liked your FB page :)
    And now to just cross my fingers!

    Amber, when I watched the videos I thought you were so put together and did an excellent job with wording and getting the information to us…I was impressed and thinking, wait, where is that crazy girl I met on the road trip to the first SAF. Thanks for sharing today, the real YOU…full of craziness, loudness and love…great job on the video and that Fiskars looks amazing! I know how you love letterpress, so I can imagine how excited you were when you won! I remember you jumping up and down at SAF when you won!! You’ve come a long way, baby! Great blog, great info, fabulous crafts and cards! You inspire me!

    • amber on said:

      Awww Colleen! It’s so great to hear from you! We had such a great time at SAF! I am glad you got to see the “real Amber” in these videos – I can’t have people thinking that I actually “have it together!” Thanks for your sweet comment.

  183. Janet Ang on said:

    I would totally shriek from a mountain top if I won one a Fuse!
    Biggest craft project? Making passport badges for bible camp for
    400 kids at church. Love to craft so I do bridal shower decorations
    To greeting cards all the time!
    Going on Facebook now!

  184. Penny on said:

    Love the site and the inspiring post you put on, I am constantly looking for the next big thing and am always inspired by what you do. I have 2 little boys and have twice undertaken the task of making their Christening invitations. I also made 100 invites when My husband turned forty. Hopefully I will win a new gadget to add to my growing crafty kit
    Thank you

  185. The biggest crafting project I did was making my godson’s first birthday invitations, gift tags, and handmade crayon roll as souvenirs. Oh, thanks for the wonderful videos. I love them all.

  189. Colleen F on said:

    I liked the Fiskars on the fan page, too! I forgot to mention my biggest project. I put together about 100 books (13 pages) of prayers and traditions from my bible study ladies. the front cover had some dp sewn on, a die cut for the title and then I used a Japanese stitching for the binding…had to hand punch the holes and then using a needle and thread made the binding…a lot of work! But one that was really appreciated…we shared our own traditions for Christmas and praying with children etc.

    I would L.O.V.E. to win a Fuse set! Too pricey for our budget at the moment, but they look like so much FUN!
    The biggest paper-crafting projects I have done are 2: collages for my MIL’s 50th birthday, and another for my father’s memorial service.
    Thank you for your contest, and for the chance to win a fuse! :-)

  193. Lisa Bell on said:

    Wow, what a wonderful chance to win. I have liked fiskars and damask love websites and have enjoyed your posts.
    The largest project began with our grandgal who lives with us starting the 2nd grade and her love of crafting too….we have made paper projects for all the holidays for each of her classmates and teacher to assemble in class. This included all the cut outs and the glitter, glue, and embelishments for the projects to be as individual as each student. We have so much fun crafting and the fuse will be a grand addition to my grandgals collection.

  195. Amy Dann on said:

    Amber, I absolutely LOVED your videos! I had the biggest smile on my face watching you…I just can’t imagine (well, actually I can) your reaction whey you won this at CHA. I told my husband the story when you won a tiny suitcase from PTI at SAF and all about the hysteria that followed!! Fiskars got LUCKY when they pulled your name out of hat…not the other way around!

    • amber on said:

      AMY!!!! If you saw me at Stamp A Faire then you can TOTALLY imagine what I sounded like when I won this Fuse. My friends at CHA were all the way on the other side of the show floor and they asked me later: “Did you hear that screaming earlier?” I was like: “UM! YEAH I DID! THAT WAS ME!!!” What can I say – I just love to win stuff…anything! You could tell me that I won a slice of cheese and I would still be excited!

    Hi Amber! I loved your videos showing off the new Fiskars Fuse! I would love to win one of those babies! My biggest project to date was making my sister-in-laws’s weddings invitations. It wasn’t a very difficult project, just time consuming! I can see how the Fuse would be a huge time-saver for projects like that!
    Thanks,
    June in KS

  199. Karol on said:

    This is a great looking machine and love all the eliminates and features. Would love to add this to my craft room. My larges project is one I am working on. I am making a variety of cards for my sisters birthday and creating a beautiful folder to house the cards, note cards and home made envelopes to match.
    I have also liked the machine on your FB page and friskers FB page.
    So thank you so much for your demos and the chance to win this machine.

  200. Lindsey on said:

    I’ve loved this series. The biggest crafting project would probably be invitations for a church Christmas party. I made a couple hundred AND had to hand deliver them to each family…luckily I did have some help on the delivery part.

  201. I love Fiskars and the damask love site is fabulous. My biggest project was making 100 Tim Holtz Christmas cards for my daughter. Each one had to be unique creative. The Fuse would have made this soooo much easier. Thank you for a chance to win the wonderful machine.

  202. Su K on said:

    I made invitations and tags for my daughter’s baby shower. Would love to win this set

    As for my biggest project… I’ve done a lot that have stressed me out but I came away feeling so accomplished and I learned so much! I designed our wedding invitations, I made a mini-scrapbook for my best friend’s sister as a birthday present, I made tons of invitations for my best friend who was hosting a baby shower to name a few.

  215. The biggest Paper Crafting project I ever took on, sadly wasn’t very large. To me however it is large. I’ve been working on a Hawaii Vacation scrapbook album for quite a while now. This vacation was 5 years ago and I’m still not done. I’ve got 4 other vacations to do after that. Whew I’ll be busy for a while :)

    My largest task was for a b=day party, which included invitations, table menus and bio, decorations and thank you acknowledgements in a Caribbean theme.
    Turned out beautiful but a challenge for I had no insight into island life.

  231. Kathy Abbuhl on said:

    First timer her. Liked and Loved your Facebook page. Been a Fiskars fan for years.

  232. I guess the biggest project was making 8 table placecards for a friend. But I am about to make 30 Baptism cards for another friend but that will happen in about 30 minutes. :)

  233. Betty Sue on said:

    Wow…my biggest project was doing cute tags for out of town guests for a wedding. I made 100. I already follow you on Facebook and am going over to Fiskars to LIKE them now. Thanks Amber! I do not know how you do it all!

  234. wow how very nice!!! I Loved your videos on this and the out takes too hehehe! I take on a big project twice a year every year when I make the invitations and all the decorations for my two kids birthday parties… and they each have two birthday parties hehehe! But I wouldn’t have it any other way… it is my way of showing them how special they are to me!

    I’m working on my biggest project right now – decorations for my mother’s upcoming 75th birthday party. Pennant banners and party stuff is taking some time, but she’s worth it. I’m still working out what I’ll do for a sign by the street to help party goers find the house.

  243. Paulette on said:

    Oh Amber, You are so Much Fun! I think being in front of a camera takes a lot of practice. I had my 30 seconds of fame in a car commercial quite a few years ago. And it was so hard not to laugh and to get your lines right with the camera staring at you, take after take. I’m too chicken to film my face for my blog, so it’s hands only. LOL And I have no editing program. Thanks for a chance to win the Fuse!

    • Paulette on said:

      I completely forgot to answer the question, so I hope I’m not cheating by replying to myself. My biggest project was my daughter’s wedding, we did our own invitations, favor boxes, hand held fans that were a treat/keepsake for all of the ladies and girls attending the wedding, large tissue pom-poms to hang from the ceiling and thanks you cards.

      • amber on said:

        LOL! You are definitely not cheating! Your comment and reply still count as “one” entry! you are too cute!

  244. Nancy L. on said:

    I’ve done at least 3 or 4 orders of different invitations for babyshowers and baptisims.

  246. Maureen Hayes on said:

    I have enjoyed this whole series and am so excited at the chance to win my very own FUSE! The biggest project I have ever attempted has been my annual Christmas cards, however if I win this wonderful machine I will try taking on larger projects!

    I made a big batch of greeting cards (200) for Operation Write Homr.

  250. Loved every second of every video and now I really want the Fuse…because the Silhouette Cameo I just dropped a kings ransom on wasn’t enough! The biggest paper crafting projects I took on: tie between making my wedding programs by hand and making all the decorations for my son’s first birthday party (including goodie bags, invites, thank you notes, etc.).

  251. Jennyfer l on said:

    My biggest project would be doing the banners, invitations and decorations for my daughter’s upcoming 6th bday! She cant wait to be six I tell you! Of course, if I win this, my project will go way, way much faster. Thanks for the chance.

    Oh my goodness…I can’t believe how many people stopped by today! It’s because you ‘Rock’, Amber! I really enjoyed your outtakes! You are so funny…I’m glad your hubby (I think) was so patient about it :-)
    My biggest project was working on my 12×12 scrapbook albums for my granddaughter. This past December, I was pressed for time, and had to create 20 layouts in 2 weeks, so I could bring it to her for Christmas (she’s in Florida, and I’m in NJ).
    Thank you so much for a chance to win this starter kit…you are so sweet! And thank you for posting such fun and interesting things every day!!!

    • amber on said:

      Thanks Barb! The person on the other side of the camera is actually a friend of mine who is great with AV! His patience is even more meaningful, since my husbands HAS to put up with me! He – on the other hand could have walked out at any time! but he didnt! We had a great time filming this series together!

  253. Kimberly Green on said:

    This is super exciting! Yay! Thanks, Amber. Well my biggest crafting adventure was making thank you notes for all those that donated to a LIVESTRONG fundraiser my husband and I rode for on the first anniversary of his cancer treatment. We integrated LIVESTRONG bands into the thank you note, so everyone would have one to wear. Making these thank yous was my first big project – and was a pretty emotional activity as we raised over $10,000 – but obviously well worth it. Thanks for the chance to win!

      WOW! Good for you! If ever there was a big project for a big cause, this was it! Wishing years of health and happiness to you and your hubs!

  254. Sue Coubrough on said:

    Your videos have been great, Amber. Enjoyed the outtakes too. My biggest project was making invitations for a family party to introduce my first grandson. Later I did invitations for a large family & friends party when my nephew got engaged.
    Thanks again for all the information you presented in the video and the chance to win!

  255. madcat2002 on said:

    You crack me up!! What an awesome giveaway, Amber. Having just watched a weeks worth of videos (and outtakes haha) I NEED this machine. In fact, so do most of my friends! I’ve been telling everyone to run over here to see your videos. My biggest project was probably the year I made 120 Christmas cards – 4 different versions. I’ve also made bridal shower, baby shower, birthday party and wedding invitations for my family and friends, but never again on that scale!

  256. madcat2002 on said:

      I am planing on makeing my save the date for my wedding gosh wish me luck

    I love how informative and concise your Fuse instructional videos are. As I watched, I was thinking how Fiskars totally needs to hire you as a spokesperson because I want one (and I know you would only be showing your fans products you believed in –and we love you for that!) And, of course, you would think of sharing your outtakes!! Great little instructional series, Amber– and you seem to have a wonderful cameraman, too!
    My “biggest” project was hosting the family of my nephew’s fiancee to create her individualized, hand-stamped wedding invitations. A fun project, but my niece-to-be wanted lots of heat embossed images and on that humid afternoon, things got messy and sticky but the bride and her family loved the results! Love you blog– and I’m fan on FB.

  261. Holly on said:

    My biggest project every year is my annual Christmas cards. Thanks for a chance to win!

  262. PageR on said:

    I made 160+ invitations for my girlfriend’s wedding. It involved a specialty machine die cut, embossing (twice through the Bug), hand ‘painting’ 3 of the many embossed hearts, covering each with embossing powder and then heating. That was just the base! I still had to punch the holes in the vellum sheet (with the announcement info), which was attached with ribbon to a mat which was adhered to the card base (we had an assembly party for that). It was all worth it though, especially when I took her shopping for the paper and impressed her with my crafting lingo as I talked to the sales guy and helped her pick all the right papers (in large format size to save money!!).

    Biggest paper project? Hand binding about 100 limited-edition books of poetry, a collaboration with my art images and a friend’s poetry. Many many others with 75 of this and 100 of that, but that one was the biggest and literally took weeks.

  266. Nita K. on said:

    I have yet to take on a huge craft project. Came real close with a wedding rehearsal dinner for over 100 (with short notice) but they decided to go with printed invites (thank goodness)!! The largest I have done is maybe 40 Christmas cards and that was plenty big enough for me!!
    Loved your videos on the Fuse and I am always a huge fan of blooper videos!!!

    My biggest project I have taken on to date is making all of my Christmas cards! I started off just making “some” and sending some store bought but a couple years ago I took the plunge and made all of them! I enjoyed it and have been doing it since. I don’t send out hundres, I think it’s somewhere in the neighborhood of fifty, but that’s the biggest project I’ve tackled to date! :)

  285. I liked Fiskars and left them a message saying TY for the giveaway.

  286. Shyra Dawson (@shyra7480) on said:

    zOMG! A chance to win a Fuse? Mighty awesome! The biggest paper crafting project I’ve done is leading my class last year in making scrapbooks for a biography project for literature. Seemed like an easy task before I started. Heh. Many ribbons, paper, die cuts,and stickers later, 33 ten page scrapbooks in two weeks were successfully completed!

  288. Amy Papale on said:

    Loved your videos! The biggest papercrafting project I have done has to be years ago when I made embossed favor boxes for my friend’s wedding shower. This was before there was a nifty die cutting machine to make the boxes. I had to trace and cut each and every box! They turned out great but it was very time consuming. Thanks for the chance to win!!

OH and ALSO, 10 extra points for using Beastie Boys!!! She’s Crafty! The biggest project I had to take on was making baby thank you cards for a friend. What’s hard is sometimes catering to what a friend’s needs are and what they will like, but I did it! Woot woot.

  303. Wow! What a fabulous promotion! The biggest, most overwhelming project I ever did wasn’t actually a project but it was grand none-the-less! I joined a national crafting month celebration and committed to making a project every day for a month. Whew! I still get wowed thinking about it! I stopped crafting for a several months and have now started crafting again. In fact, I just created an entire scrapbook for my SIL who is having a baby girl next month! I would love, love, LOVE the Fuse to play with!

  304. Great videos! The Fuse looks amazing. My biggest project was making flag style banner garland and misc other paper garlands for my son’s wedding… almost 700 feet of garlands to be exact! It was a perfect addition to their wonderful day and worth every bit of my time and effort :-)

  305. I popped on over to the Fiskars Facebook page and Liked it. Fiskars has always had great products so I was happy to become a fan.

  306. Back again! ;-) I liked your Damask Love Facebook page. I have a feeling that it’s going to be fun seeing your future posts and reading your blog. Have a wonderfully crafty day!

  322. Denise Sullivan on said:

    My daughter is an Escrow Officer I make her an average of 100 cards every month. I’ve made 15 scrapbooks for my kids and myself. But by far my biggest project was after 9-11 I made 10 terrycloth bears with clothes and sent them to NYC Red Cross to give to children traumatized by what happened that day. I love crafting in all areas from paper crafts to sewing to kitting and crocheting. Having a hobby keeps me sane.

  323. Dawn K on said:

    My biggest paper craft project was making my Christmas cards this past year – all of the nice comments I received back inspired me to do it again next year (but to get started on them much earlier!)

  329. Sue M on said:

    I stumbled upon your website back in December and I must say, it has become a favorite. Your approach makes me feel like we’re old friends sharing what we love. You are so adorable. Loved the outtakes. Fabulous series on the Fuse. Biggest project: My mom has a ladies luncheon every year with about 45 ladies. I make all the invitations, favors and decorations. It’s actually lots of fun and great “mom” time. She has no talent and agrees to whatever I tell her.

  330. I’m not sure what my biggest project has been….one year I did 80+ holiday cards, and I made both my kids birth announcements, and I always make their birthday party invites. Thanks for the chance!

  331. Tammy on said:

    K u won yours now let me win mine. Love u gf. U r an awesome inspiration to me. Thanks

  332. Biggest paper craft project… That would be making the wedding invitations to my own wedding…back in 1999! I was new to stamping so I was all into embossing. I embossed over a hundred invites and then handcolored each one. In hindsight I am really happy I made them, but it was quite stressful. :)

  333. “liked” the Fiskars fan page and let them know you sent me :)

    My daughters and a few family made wedding invitations for one of the daughter’s weddings, and also stamped thank you cards, and now 2.5 years later made baby thank you cards! Feels more personal when its homemade! Would love the Fuse…..still have another daughter to make things for!

  354. Great tuts on the Fuse. I enjoy your blog and learn a lot. My biggest project was creating 100 bookmarks for all the teachers and staff at my suns school. I die cut them one at a time, stamped them, laminated them, die cut felt for the back, glued and then cut floss for the tassels. It took forever
