in all kinds of situations.
Tall vs. Grande vs. Venti
Medium vs. Large vs. Sonic Size
Coach vs. Business vs. First
and of course, our Scrap-Mart favorite
Squeeze vs. Revolution vs. Cookie Cutter
And we were just talking about sizes the other day. Crafty Deb and I. Discussing how SIZE is a hard thing to show in pictures. When I say that such-and-such a die is a Revolution die, you know that it's bigger than a Squeeze die. But you may not realize exactly HOW BIG.
So we decided that a quarter is the key.
A quarter in the picture frame gives you a size reference. Let's you know just how big or just how small a particular die really is.
Because size does matter!
So here are a couple of the new dies - from the June release - assembled and made all cute.
And photographed with a reference quarter!
This is the Baby Bottle (which right now is out of stock - sorry!). Super cute! And HUGE - it would fill up a card front all by itself!
These are the trucks. I think it's called a front loader. Wouldn't this make a cute "keep on trucking" card, or a "feel free to dump on me anytime", or "just rollin' by to say HI!"...the ideas are endless! Tiny and cute - can't you see a whole line of them across a scrapbook page?
Not to be confused with THESE guys. The big tractor. The huge mixer. Crafty Deb actually cut her own "load" for the bucket - and it looks so cute filled that way. But wouldn't it also be cute filled with a load of flowers, or rhinestones, or smiley faces. You could have a LOT of fun with trucks of this size!
I hope that gives you some good size reference. Big or small. Which are your favorites? Personally, I like them ALL. Different sizes for different days. Or different projects. Or different ideas.
Just don't forget - here at Scrap-Mart SIZE does matter.

Ok all of you bloggers and others that are just passing through, leave some us feedback so we get to know what you like. We all like a little pat on the head once in a while, some of us more than others. haha :)

I keep talking myself out of the revolution tool - siting that I already have the Boss and the QK Squeeze...
I have to be honest, though, I reach for my Boss Kutter even if I am using my QK dies and I've even bought some of the cookie cutter dies and cut them in my BK! I really wish I could use my BK for those Revolution dies but they are just a bit to wide and I tried and the BK won't cut the QK boarder dies (Sad face and pouting.)
It all goes to show that like you said size does matter!
