Keep your border punches beautifully organized with the Border Punch Organizer - Rainbow Dots! This 13-1/2"L x 9-1/2"W x 4-1/2"H storage case — a brand-new size we've never offered before — is designed to hold up to 12 Border Punches and comes with a removable EVA foam insert that provides lightweight cushioning, excellent UV resistance and moisture protection to keep your Border Punches secure.

While it’s made for Border Punches, it’s also versatile enough to store other Creative Memories supplies, including Small PODs, Card Kits and more.

Due to shipping delays, we only have a partial order at the warehouse, so the Border Punch Organizer will be available for Advisors to purchase a quantity of 1 for the first 48 hours. If quantities remain, we'll lift the limit.

When the remainder of the shipment arrives, we'll open the Border Punch Organizer to customers as well.

Croptoberfest is more than a crop… it’s a fall tradition — a time to gather, create and spark joy through scrapbooking. And it's also one of the biggest opportunities of the year to grow your business, connect with customers and build momentum before the busy holiday season.

Join us for the Croptoberfest Reveal to get a first look at the 2025 products, exclusive Advisor-only bundles and a brand-new autumn collection. Whether it’s your first Croptoberfest or your fifteenth, this reveal will equip you with the tools, inspiration and confidence to plan standout events and set the stage for your most successful season yet.

Fourth Row Right: Advisor Irene Miller was overjoyed to host her first crop since January. With two guests — one a brand-new scrapper — the event was full of milestones, creativity and even a signed book from a published attendee. A meaningful day for all.

2-Day Air Change: August 1, 2025

Starting Friday, Aug. 1, 2025, at noon CT, the 2-day air shipping option will no longer be available for orders with subtotals of $501 or more. This change is necessary, as these high-value expedited shipments result in a loss for us, and the cost to continue offering them would be unreasonably high.

2-day air will still be available for orders under $501. Fewer than 50 Advisors currently use this option at the $501+ level, so this change will impact only a small number of orders.
