00:00:03
hi guys and welcome back to another
00:00:06
video from Laurie's crafty corner
00:00:10
today's video is a bit different from
00:00:13
other videos that I make this is sort of
00:00:16
a review video I region recently
00:00:21
purchased the we r memory keepers the
00:00:25
works all-in-one tool and I mentioned it
00:00:29
took up all my friends and one of them
00:00:32
asked if I could do a review video I
00:00:37
already played a bit with it so I could
00:00:42
get my bearings around it because as is
00:00:44
as it's always been with something
00:00:48
that's new there's a bit of a learning
00:00:50
curve but so far I love it so you'll see
00:00:56
that I'm trying to do things a bit
00:00:58
one-handed because I had to switch
00:01:01
recording devices because the other one
00:01:05
works perfectly fine but it doesn't
00:01:09
record audio and for these kinds of
00:01:11
videos it'd be weird if I would do a
00:01:13
voiceover over it because it's just like
00:01:17
maybe my hands might go another way and
00:01:20
you know so yeah and since I'm using a
00:01:24
new recording device I had to stretch my
00:01:29
yeah my phone stand over here so I'm
00:01:32
holding it with one hand because if not
00:01:34
this is what it does it tends to topple
00:01:36
over anywho so the works all-in-one tool
00:01:41
by we are memory keepers boasts that it
00:01:46
is 10 machines or 10 tools and one it's
00:01:53
a paper trimmer
00:01:53
it's a scoreboard an envelope maker tag
00:01:57
maker tag maker pom-pom maker tassel
00:02:02
maker bow maker stamp tool and banner
00:02:06
maker why did I buy this because I
00:02:11
already have my favourite paper trimmer
00:02:14
by Fiskars
00:02:15
I already have a scoring board by Martha
00:02:19
Stewart but I did not have an envelope
00:02:22
maker I did not have a tab maker nor a
00:02:27
tag maker and yes you can make a tag by
00:02:30
yourself but I can never make both sides
00:02:34
of a tag tag like for example let me
00:02:41
bring let me show you what I mean
00:02:46
this is a tag it's you know it's already
00:02:49
been pre-made these sides would usually
00:02:54
be very crooked or one would be steeper
00:02:59
than the other one one would be not so
00:03:01
not as steep and I really hated that so
00:03:06
when I saw that it helps you make tags I
00:03:10
was like oh I like that then I saw that
00:03:12
it has pom pom tassel and bow makers and
00:03:16
really those I don't really make a whole
00:03:21
lot of tassels pom poms or our bows but
00:03:26
it's september christmas is just around
00:03:30
the corner make I might get into the
00:03:33
idea I mean I might get into the notion
00:03:36
of making homemade Christmas ornaments
00:03:40
for my Christmas tree and I might use
00:03:42
the bows you know it's okay to have them
00:03:46
the stamp tool I don't have a stamping
00:03:49
tool with those but you flip open you
00:03:51
place the stamp and you flip it and it's
00:03:53
all it's awesome for making an assembly
00:03:57
and an alliance sort of thing for
00:04:00
Christmas cards or cards in general and
00:04:02
I thought wait I could do that for
00:04:04
Christmas cards so it'll help and then
00:04:09
the other one is a banner and my kids
00:04:13
are young and I like it I like you know
00:04:17
coordinating birthday parties for them
00:04:20
so I might use them so really out of the
00:04:26
ten tools I only had two so let's get to
00:04:31
playing with the other parts now one of
00:04:34
the things that I noticed right off the
00:04:36
bat is it seems like a power station it
00:04:40
was overwhelming for me a bit at first
00:04:44
when I saw numbers over here numbers
00:04:48
over here over here and over here and
00:04:50
these knobs and things and I yeah I was
00:04:52
like whoa
00:04:53
what is this so but then as I started
00:04:59
looking towards not towards through the
00:05:02
instructions it all became clearer right
00:05:06
off the bat we are not gonna use this
00:05:09
this metallic thingy not metallic it's
00:05:14
acrylic this is the stamping thing like
00:05:18
the thingamajig yes I'm going to get
00:05:20
very technical with you it's this is the
00:05:23
acrylic flap that we're going to use for
00:05:27
stamping it
00:05:29
excuse me oh my sorry about that it is
00:05:34
magnetized so it helps with keeping
00:05:38
things on the same page but for now
00:05:44
we're gonna just gonna take it off sorry
00:05:48
about that
00:05:49
so for its things first the actual paper
00:05:53
trimmer part of this tool is right here
00:05:58
you lifted this is the trimming part
00:06:03
that little metal triangle it's very
00:06:08
sharp
00:06:09
I just glazed it or graced it with my
00:06:12
arm a bit and I got scratched and it was
00:06:15
because I had flipped it open because I
00:06:17
was looking for the scoring tool and
00:06:21
yeah this is the scoring tool anyhow
00:06:26
going back to the paper trimmer because
00:06:28
when I get excited I tend to get a bit
00:06:31
of OCD not OCD a DD and start to jump a
00:06:34
little bit place so here's the paper
00:06:36
trimmer you open you close it's pretty
00:06:38
standard
00:06:39
when it comes to paper trimmers I
00:06:41
already checked it out there is no how
00:06:48
would you call it there is no gaps
00:06:54
here's what I mean
00:06:56
I went ahead and I trimmed a four inch
00:07:00
piece of powdery paper then I chose the
00:07:07
route though you know I call it the Bell
00:07:09
ruler because it's the only ruler that I
00:07:11
have by Tim Holtz and I measured it up
00:07:15
with this ruler and it measured a true
00:07:18
four then I went over to my other paper
00:07:22
trimmer by Fiskars and it was a true
00:07:24
four inch cut so there is no variation
00:07:30
in sizes it's not like you're going to
00:07:35
trim a paper in on this paper trimmer
00:07:37
and when you go ahead and use another
00:07:41
paper trimmer let's say you're making a
00:07:44
mini album and use that other me paper
00:07:47
trimmer for cutting chipboard or
00:07:50
something you're not gonna get another
00:07:51
measurement it's going to be the same
00:07:53
one and I'm very glad for that because I
00:07:57
had overheard that the fist the we r
00:08:01
memory keepers paper trimmer just the
00:08:04
paper trimmer was had a had a wiggle
00:08:07
room of a nearly a quarter of an inch
00:08:10
and when you're making scrapbook stuff
00:08:12
especially if you're following some
00:08:14
instructions you want your cuts to be
00:08:16
all aligned to the same you saw it it's
00:08:19
all the same so in terms of the paper
00:08:23
trimmer I like it I like that it has
00:08:25
numbers on dark colors but in dark
00:08:31
colors on the outer left hand side so
00:08:33
that if I'm going to cut just you know
00:08:38
those three by four papers
00:08:40
well twelve by twelve paper that are
00:08:42
three by four cards you can just go
00:08:44
right into the card that you want and
00:08:46
trim it and just follow along the lines
00:08:48
over here well the numbers over here now
00:08:52
heading over to the scoring board aspect
00:08:56
you see that we have the groups here I
00:08:59
went ahead what might went ahead I
00:09:03
already discovered this this flap you
00:09:07
pull it out you flip it and then you
00:09:11
reinsert it it everything has the you
00:09:16
know directions right here so you're not
00:09:18
like frantically looking for your
00:09:20
destructions booklet and whatnot so this
00:09:25
groove there if there's like a slight
00:09:28
elevation here you close it and then
00:09:32
from over here you can bear almost not
00:09:36
see it let me pull it up there yeah from
00:09:39
over here you pull out your bone folder
00:09:42
I'm gonna use the same paper and that
00:09:48
groove that we lift it off will make
00:09:51
that will help the paper not head into
00:09:55
the paper trimmer aspect and then I'm
00:10:01
gonna see how I can score with just one
00:10:03
hand I'm gonna score at the two line
00:10:05
it's pretty basic it's nothing new when
00:10:11
in terms of excuse me in terms of
00:10:15
scoring boards the envelope maker and
00:10:20
four here I'm going to place you on
00:10:22
pause because I need to use both hands
00:10:25
because that addition is over here oh
00:10:32
wait yeah I can do it with both this
00:10:35
little tool that we pulled out from here
00:10:40
it helps you make your envelope your
00:10:43
banner your tags and your tabs it
00:10:47
they each have your instructions on what
00:10:49
to do with it each of them and over here
00:10:52
you have the sizings
00:10:55
the sizing charts for the envelopes and
00:10:58
for the banners plus you also have
00:11:02
banners well these little indicators
00:11:05
will help you align it up here here we
00:11:09
have banner we have envelope and we have
00:11:11
tag so first off I'm going to go with an
00:11:15
envelope and you please you align this
00:11:22
little triangle with the triangle with
00:11:24
the triangle where it says up envelope
00:11:26
here and let me see if I can go ahead
00:11:30
and though are you guys a bit without
00:11:33
you know making you guys too dizzy oops
00:11:38
please avert your eyes while I adjust
00:11:41
there we go now I can work with both
00:11:47
hands so here once you've aligned these
00:11:51
two triangles I'm going to grab just a
00:11:58
piece of scrap cardstock and I'm going
00:12:02
to make an envelope for a three by three
00:12:07
card so it says that I need a five by
00:12:10
five paper sized paper and that I should
00:12:14
align it at two and a half so here we go
00:12:18
I'm going to open up the this over like
00:12:23
this and flip it over so that I can trim
00:12:25
my paper and here I'm gonna align it at
00:12:30
the five mark I cut it what I noticed
00:12:35
about cutting it's an easy glide it's
00:12:38
very very smooth you don't have to get
00:12:41
your elbow too much into it I tend to be
00:12:45
a bit of ggressive when I'm trimming I
00:12:47
just really force it this one is an easy
00:12:51
client so my paper is already by five by
00:12:56
five
00:12:56
let's check I'll lean it over here it's
00:13:00
a perfect five
00:13:02
and a perfect five a little bit less
00:13:07
actually no perfect five there we go so
00:13:11
now that I have a paper my paper size
00:13:14
the way that it should be this is
00:13:18
magnetized this bottom this base part
00:13:21
that's why it sticks and I'm involved
00:13:24
with that I love it
00:13:26
see them it also has a bit of silicone
00:13:28
here so that it really doesn't move
00:13:31
around so we align the two triangles
00:13:35
then it says that we have to align it
00:13:38
let me close this over it says that we
00:13:41
have to align it at two and a half so
00:13:45
you set your paper right at the two and
00:13:49
a half mark and it says that you have to
00:13:53
score at the two mark where's my oh yeah
00:13:58
I hit it you pull out your bone folder
00:14:00
look for the two head straight down you
00:14:04
flip your envelope ninety degrees and do
00:14:11
the same thing whoa yeah
00:14:22
but that was me sticking my fingers into
00:14:25
it you spar and then
00:14:33
the last score so here you have your
00:14:36
scored paid here's where it gets i loved
00:14:43
this part you flip your paper trimmer to
00:14:47
the side at least I did it like that you
00:14:49
can certainly just leave it as is
00:14:52
because this is a little arm opens up
00:14:57
and here you can even cut paper to up to
00:15:02
14 inches long but these the little tabs
00:15:07
over here is the other part of the
00:15:10
station this is a tab maker this is a
00:15:16
tie of banner punch and here's the
00:15:21
envelope punch what you're gonna do and
00:15:24
this I'm following the instructions in
00:15:26
the instructions booklet you will line
00:15:30
will you align your score marks with
00:15:33
these marks right here but it has a
00:15:35
little a little floppy thing that a
00:15:42
little piece of plastic that is like
00:15:46
lifting up I'm at a loss for words here
00:15:49
I'm getting you know technical but you
00:15:51
see this little plastic thingy poking
00:15:55
out you will line your one of the score
00:16:00
marks with that and then you punch and
00:16:08
you do that same thing
00:16:14
with the other scorelines
00:16:20
it is a bit noisy that's the only down
00:16:23
side side side I tend to craft when my
00:16:28
kids are taking their naps and it's a
00:16:31
bit noisy that little boom sound is a
00:16:34
bit yeah so I might I might not be
00:16:38
making envelopes while they are napping
00:16:41
so yeah and here we go
00:16:47
you close your corners and that's it oh
00:16:52
yeah this is really optional I mean the
00:16:57
the tool says that you should do it but
00:17:00
I don't know you turn your table over
00:17:05
your tool over and it has a corner
00:17:08
rounder right here they really hope you
00:17:12
can see it we have a corner rounder over
00:17:21
here
00:17:31
and all of the cuts that you're making
00:17:35
end up right on your desk see because
00:17:42
they are all open underneath okay so
00:17:54
yeah so we're done with our envelope I
00:17:58
like it it's I like making envelopes so
00:18:04
for our next thing we're going to make
00:18:08
tabs and according to this it says for
00:18:12
side tabs align paper to the side top
00:18:15
mark and punch where is my side tab
00:18:25
uh-huh yeah apparently you cut your
00:18:30
papers to whatever size you want the
00:18:32
side tab you align your paper with this
00:18:37
it's a small medium and large
00:18:39
I want it that's to a large one there
00:18:46
then I believe you flip it over and
00:18:53
there we go
00:18:55
of course this next thing you just cut
00:19:00
it off let's do that so that we can get
00:19:02
the full experience
00:19:19
and just like that I trimmed it right
00:19:23
off this is a learning curve for me the
00:19:27
paper trimmer which is actually the you
00:19:29
know the simplest part but since I'm
00:19:33
really used to the Fiskars one it's yeah
00:19:37
it's off for me let me trim another
00:19:41
piece of food for a random piece of
00:19:43
paper
00:19:52
get into that groove there there is a
00:19:55
little groove here that says where you
00:19:57
need to stop and I apparently cut it way
00:20:00
too long let's make it over let's remake
00:20:03
that cut but on the other side there and
00:20:09
then you flip your paper over you will
00:20:11
line it too if you want it small medium
00:20:14
or large
00:20:15
you cut and then let me see if I can get
00:20:22
it now we're talking and there we have
00:20:30
our tab so what's next our tags using
00:20:38
this it says trim paper to desired tag
00:20:41
size place tag under hole punch and
00:20:45
align with centering lines and punch a
00:20:49
line tag guide to tuck indicator on
00:20:53
board okay so this is our tab our tag
00:20:57
punch I'm going to go ahead and cut a
00:21:01
three by four piece of card piece of
00:21:09
cardstock I'm going to align it here
00:21:17
it has it has numbers here so if your
00:21:25
tag is one inch one and a half two and a
00:21:27
half and so on you can just centralize
00:21:30
it here so that your hole is actually
00:21:32
right in the center and then it says
00:21:36
that you're gonna use this guide and
00:21:39
you're going to align it where it says
00:21:41
tag so this triangle with this triangle
00:21:44
and you pull it over that triangle with
00:21:47
this triangle it says that you're going
00:21:51
to wait
00:21:54
afterwards it says align paper to
00:21:58
desired measurement on tag guide and
00:22:00
trim flip paper and do the same thing so
00:22:09
I'm going to do a one-inch cut it's too
00:22:20
steep let me flip it over but you know
00:22:23
since we already started here let's go
00:22:26
ahead and continue and see where we went
00:22:30
wrong
00:22:39
I'm doing this live so that you know not
00:22:47
sugarcoating anything so let's do our
00:22:56
there we go
00:22:58
then it says to a line tag so oh yeah
00:23:04
now I get it
00:23:05
the bigger the tag the bigger the number
00:23:08
the smaller a tag the smaller the number
00:23:11
on your score on this thing yeah bear in
00:23:17
mind that so I aligned it at 1/8 so I'm
00:23:23
going to align it again at 1/8 and there
00:23:28
we hope there we go
00:23:29
a squared off tag um yeah tag next up is
00:23:36
the pom-pom maker tassel and bow makers
00:23:39
I'll just show you but I don't have yeah
00:23:42
actually I do have some string over here
00:23:45
I'm only gonna make a bow and these
00:23:49
little plastic things are they come up
00:23:52
from under your board let me look at the
00:23:55
instructions to make well because I
00:24:00
vaguely remember it says position two
00:24:04
tags on board distance between tags will
00:24:07
determine size of Bowl um cross ends
00:24:12
over the front so that's pretty you know
00:24:16
it's pretty straightforward if you know
00:24:18
how to tie your shoes it's this is how
00:24:20
we're gonna do it
00:24:25
and I don't have any scissors cuz I just
00:24:28
got back home from a crop and
00:24:30
everything's in like in my bag so yeah
00:24:48
so since I'm using string I'm just gonna
00:24:51
make a tiny bow it says it cross ends
00:24:54
Oh grip it front and then you know pull
00:25:00
tight take both hands and ribbon make
00:25:05
them not go and then we're done I think
00:25:12
anywho it really looked it would really
00:25:16
look better with some actual ribbon but
00:25:20
yeah all that these things do is that
00:25:25
they help you tie a ribbon on to
00:25:28
something for you know instead of trying
00:25:33
to make a bow into the air just place
00:25:35
your pegs right over here and it
00:25:39
determines this you use these to
00:25:41
determine the size of the pegs of the
00:25:45
bow that you're going to be making then
00:25:50
it says that when making pom-poms is the
00:25:53
same thing it says that you're place the
00:25:58
pegs then you let's go ahead and play
00:26:03
around with this it says tie on one end
00:26:12
tie a knot around bottom peg okay here
00:26:16
we go because it says that we're
00:26:18
supposed to do it sideways wrap right
00:26:21
strand around pegs and tie a knot around
00:26:26
the bottom peg so if I am reading this
00:26:30
correctly it's we're tying
00:26:46
and
00:26:52
then when you were done with the
00:26:55
pom-poms it says cut a six to eight inch
00:27:03
piece of yarn and wrap around Center so
00:27:07
we what we arrived over here and we're
00:27:11
going to tie
00:27:24
so what and then it says to cut
00:27:32
and tie in the center so here we go
00:27:52
and again
00:27:55
so there we go cut ends on the tops so
00:28:00
this is probably not gonna be the most
00:28:03
gorgeous pom-pom you've ever seen I'm
00:28:07
just showing you how this machine your
00:28:09
this tool helps you to make pom-poms but
00:28:14
you get the idea those pegs are just
00:28:19
there to help you make your pom-poms of
00:28:23
course if you want a fuller pom-pom
00:28:25
you're gonna have to add lots more
00:28:29
string for the in terms of the tassel
00:28:33
it's pretty much the same thing only
00:28:36
that you use three tassels one over here
00:28:40
one right next to the other and then the
00:28:43
other ones spaced over here again it
00:28:47
says that the distance between these two
00:28:49
will determine the length of the tassel
00:28:51
it says make a knot on the third peg and
00:28:55
then you round your yarn or string or
00:29:00
thread or whatever around all three you
00:29:05
tie over here and then tie between these
00:29:08
two and then you cut to make your tassel
00:29:14
stamping the stamping tool as I
00:29:19
mentioned
00:29:28
you take this off and you add this and
00:29:36
let's use this one I don't think I have
00:29:50
maybe money stress oxide is not gonna be
00:29:54
the best sort of ink I just want to see
00:29:58
if you know if it works
00:30:13
my goodness okay wow that was pretty
00:30:21
stuck on there so I'm going to place my
00:30:25
free mate tag here make sure stamping
00:30:34
the staff clings on to the tool lift
00:30:39
open or you can just pull it off oh wait
00:30:45
I forgot the most important thing there
00:30:48
are magnets underneath so if I want my
00:30:56
yeah that's a good area there we go well
00:31:03
okay so now let's go ahead stamp I mean
00:31:09
I think this is not the best thing to be
00:31:12
stamping but this is just so that you
00:31:15
can see and then here we go it's still
00:31:20
not placed there and then you just go in
00:31:22
and push and there we go again
00:31:28
it's the ink that's separating because I
00:31:31
use of the stress oxides oxide because
00:31:34
my art kaavo archival ink is in my
00:31:38
backpack in my box oh yeah but it's
00:31:42
pretty straightforward what I like about
00:31:44
all of this the other air the other
00:31:48
thing that we need to see is the banner
00:31:53
but so far I love the overall machine
00:31:59
not machine tool let's go ahead and for
00:32:03
our last part
00:32:07
yeah our last part is this the banner
00:32:14
says select banner size and trim paper
00:32:17
to correct paper size so we remove our
00:32:21
stamping attachment we it's not there
00:32:28
it's over here pull out this it says
00:32:30
banner over here says it's a banner and
00:32:33
I want a 3 inch banner so I should cut
00:32:36
my paper to 3x3 another piece of paper
00:32:43
that says 3x3 and then a line banner got
00:32:59
two battering dick indicator on board
00:33:02
align left edge of paper to alignment
00:33:06
guide measurement from chart and trim
00:33:09
flip paper and do the same thing a line
00:33:15
rekt banner edge to the right side
00:33:19
banner line on the whole bunch of this
00:33:20
thing over
00:33:21
okay so let's go ahead banner triangle
00:33:25
banner triangle this
00:33:33
three by three so I need to align it at
00:33:37
one and a half over here and it's us to
00:33:42
trim and it says then to do to flip it
00:33:48
over and do wait if I did this side one
00:33:56
and a half I'm going to do this side one
00:34:00
and a half
00:34:07
why did I come out why what did i do
00:34:12
what did I do okay let's go ahead one
00:34:17
more time let's do it four by four one
00:34:31
okay so online this banner indicator
00:34:36
over here and over and then for a four
00:34:42
by four it's us to align it at one at
00:34:44
seven eight which is right here and trim
00:34:51
a high seed I flipped it the way that it
00:34:54
wasn't supposed to go then you go ahead
00:34:57
you flip it over there and yeah and we
00:35:04
have our triangle which is amazing
00:35:08
because I always cut my triangles wrong
00:35:11
then it says to go over to the pole
00:35:14
punch and just make a hole I'm gonna
00:35:19
punch it at one-and-a-half there we go
00:35:23
and I'm gonna do the same thing but I'm
00:35:27
just gonna flip it over and then punch
00:35:28
it one I like this I can really see
00:35:35
myself making a Christmas banner or even
00:35:39
a fall banner oh I like it okay
00:35:41
so overall I loved it thumbs up the only
00:35:45
thing that I would change is the
00:35:47
noisiness of these punches over here but
00:35:50
overall awesome awesome machine this
00:35:53
review and play through when show
00:35:57
through you know is not endorsed by we
00:36:00
are memory keeper I they did not give me
00:36:02
this for free my husband actually got it
00:36:05
really early for me for my birthday as
00:36:08
you know as a birthday gift
00:36:11
and I yeah he gave it two months early
00:36:16
so that I could already start playing
00:36:18
around with it and using it so yeah if
00:36:22
you're on the ropes here's the thing if
00:36:25
you already have all of these things in
00:36:28
your stash maybe consider not getting it
00:36:35
however the one thing I do like about
00:36:38
this is that if I am invited to a
00:36:43
last-minute crop or I need to go and
00:36:46
craft somewhere and I don't want to crap
00:36:48
I don't want to bring half of my
00:36:50
crafting room this is a perfect tool for
00:36:53
that because you have your scoring board
00:36:56
your paper trimmer in one and you have
00:37:00
basically three punches in one you have
00:37:03
your envelope tab and tag maker so you
00:37:06
have three punches right then and there
00:37:08
and you have your stamp tool here - I
00:37:14
love it if you don't if you know I would
00:37:17
consider this to be a perfect beginner
00:37:20
scrap beginner scrapbookers tool because
00:37:23
you have everything you don't have to
00:37:25
shell out a lot of money at first for ya
00:37:35
for this thing four different tools and
00:37:39
yeah I love it I like it I love it I
00:37:45
yeah while I'm filming this I'm already
00:37:50
thinking about making some really small
00:37:54
tag albums to give away as gifts for
00:37:58
