Thanks for your detailed demonstration of the border maker system. It's the best I've seen! Now I will have an easier time using the border maker's I have.

You just made my day! I am SO glad it helped you. It's a really great tool. Thank you for watching and enjoy using your system!

Thanks for such an informative video. I'm new to scrapping and to Creative Memories. I think I can relate to being a "lazy" scrapper 🤩

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

I'm so glad it was helpful! And welcome to such a wonderful and meaningful hobby!

[@informliza]

Great demo

Thank you for watching, Martha!

I did not know a single punch could be done with the cartridge. Thank you.

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

Yay! I'm glad that was helpful! It will obviously work better with some cartridges than others... the Arrow that I used and the Simple Leaf are the best examples, but really any that is a "chain" cartridge will work nicely as a punch and give you a two-inch pattern.

[@lorih3202]

Great Ideas! I've never thought of alternating two different cartridges on one border, but it looks great!

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

I thought it was cool too when I first saw that. Thanks for watching!

[@christinehagadorn4786]

Another great video! Little things I didn't know will make it go more smoothly. Thanks!!

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

That is wonderful! Thanks for the feedback, Christine! Glad it was helpful.

[@christinacanfield3122]

Great video, Donna! Thank you for the fantastic ideas! Two different cartridges...mind blown!

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

Thanks so much for watching! I cannot take credit for thinking of two cartridges, but had to share it... so cool!

Great system….I have had mine for years and keep on adding boarders each time new ones come out!

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

That's wonderful! I love it too. Thank you for watching, Karen

Oh my gosh. I never knew about the white tab and blue tabs. I've been using it for years.

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

They are hard to see so I can understand. 🙂 But as long as you hear that click, you are good! Thanks for watching, Lynne!

[@maryteachout6189]

Hi Donna,! Can you tell me what shelves you use for your border punches and what "pegboard" you use? Also, I am wondering how you store your border maker cartridges. I would love to see a video on how you organize your supplies.

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

Hi Mary! Yes, I use the SKADIS pegboard and shelves from IKEA. I'm expecting some more delivered any day now to put on the opposite wall over my table as I'm needing a bit more room and want to mount the camera on the pegboard somehow instead of the table to cut down on shaking during punching. :) Just go to the IKEA website and search for SKADIS and you'll see the pegboard and all the options. I am really impressed with them - they are easy to install, surprisingly strong and sturdy (because these punches are HEAVY), and the most affordable option I've found. For Border Maker Cartridges, I use the Creative Memories Tools Organizer. If you've not seen that, just search for "Tools" on my website (www.CreativeMemories.com/user/DonnaGuest). And good idea for a video! I may have to do that! Thanks so much for watching!

[@geanetteandrea]

I've been searching high and low for the arrow border maker cartridge. Doesn't seem to be available anywhere. Any ideas where I might find one for sale? Thanks so much!

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

Hi Geanette! So sorry for the late reply to your question! There are a number of groups on Facebook devoted to retired Creative Memories product. Search "ISO" (in search of) and "Creative Memories" on Facebook and you'll find a few.

Having trouble inserting cartridge

[@TheLazyScrapbooker]

Hi Bernice, when inserting it, is the image of the border on the cartridge facing you and right side up?
