September 19: The Return of a Crafting Classic, Trimmings Are Back
Some crafting tools quietly become legends.
On September 19, we talked about one of those rare, almost mythical items in the paper crafting world, the Trimmings dies. These dies have held a special place in the hearts and craft rooms of many for years, and for good reason.
Originally released in 2016, Trimmings quickly became one of the most sought-after die sets ever created. When they disappeared from availability, they didn’t just fade away. They became coveted.
Why Trimmings Became So Valuable
Over the years, these dies have shown up on resale sites like eBay for jaw-dropping prices, sometimes reaching $200 or more. People have driven hours to meet sellers in person just to get their hands on them.
That kind of demand doesn’t happen by accident.
Trimmings earned its reputation because of versatility, scale, and timeless design. These dies work beautifully across cardmaking, scrapbooking, mini albums, and decorative accents. They elevate projects without overpowering them.
They are, quite simply, workhorses.
About the Video
If you haven’t watched this live yet, this one is absolutely worth your time, especially if you appreciate crafting history and value.
In this video, I talk about the excitement surrounding the re-release, why these dies matter so much to the community, and how they can be used in today’s projects just as beautifully as they were years ago.
A Long-Awaited Re-Release
The re-release of Trimmings was met with pure excitement, relief, and celebration.
For longtime crafters, it felt like welcoming back an old friend. For newer crafters, it was finally a chance to own a set they had only heard about in stories and seen in cherished projects.
This is one of those rare moments where a product release feels like a community event.
Timeless Tools Over Trends
What makes Trimmings so special is that it never followed trends. It created its own lane.
These dies don’t feel dated. They don’t feel trendy. They feel classic, which is why they continue to hold value year after year. They are the kind of tools you reach for again and again, regardless of the paper collection or theme you’re working with.
That kind of longevity is something to celebrate.
Why This Moment Belongs on the Blog
This blog isn’t just about documenting what’s new. It’s about honoring what lasts.
The return of Trimmings is a perfect example of how quality, thoughtful design stands the test of time. It’s also a reminder that sometimes, waiting pays off.
For many of us, September 19 felt like a long-awaited “finally.”
Crafting with Gratitude
If you were able to add Trimmings to your collection, I hope you enjoy using them for years to come.
And if you’re simply watching from the sidelines, take this as encouragement to invest in tools that truly serve your creative style and bring lasting joy.
Some things are worth the wait.
With gratitude,
