Kutz is a great resource for crafters looking for unique embellishments, but are short on time. As a scrapbooker, I love finding small items to enhance my layouts; however, I don't have the budget to purchase tons of die cutting machines. Kutz is the perfect solution for my dilemma. The owner, Cyn, offers a variety of die cut shapes made of felt, cardboard, and paper. You'll find multi-colored felt hearts that are perfect for a number of Valentine's Day craft projects. The big set of floral pieces (pictured) includes 120 mix & match pieces that will certainly come in handy while crafting. Cyn also offers larger pieces, such as the felt owl on branch, that are ready to spice up pillows, handbags & more. And the intricate felt butterfly & silhouette are simply beautiful. Visit Cyn's blog, Just-kutz, that features a great wreath tutorial. She also has another Etsy shop, CynContemporary, that offers handmade pillows & tote bags.

Souvenier from Lisa Cook features vintage collage packs, trims, and papers perfect for a variety of projects. I love the colorful bits that can be found in the Easter Egg Carton embellishment & trim pack. The bits and pieces include everything from feed sack fabric to a lovely dyed mother of pearl buckle. Lisa posted on her blog that in celebration of Stampington's newest publication, Marie, she is offering a special vintage Marie Antoinette pack. You will also find several beautiful sets of German Victorian embossed die cut scraps, such as the pink & red roses. I especially love the brightly colored butterflies.
