We R Memory Keepers New Product Spotlights!

We R Memory Keepers shared six (yes, SIX!!) new launches for 2021 at our January Notions Commotion event. To tell us about all of them, here's the videos with Tavnir from American Crafts!


(Throughout we will sprinkle in a few real customer reactions to these new products so keep an eye out for those.)

1. Explosion Punch Board


We R started 2021 with a big bang…well a fun explosion is a better term for it! Create colorful kabooms of brightness with the new Explosion Box Board. This handy tool lets you make explosion boxes for dynamic memory keeping, gift giving, and more! Take a look…



“I can’t wait to try it, it looks awesome!!” -Milagros R.


“I know some customers with a sick sense of humor are going to be sending glitter bombs, lol!” -DNA Creative Shoppe


Send a little box of sunshine to someone special this Easter.

2. Mini Cinch


If you're a We R or Heidi Swapp fan, you know about or own the Cinch, but did you know it’s the ten year anniversary of that product which has been a best seller since day one? So it’s no surprise the mini has arrived this year. It’s half the size, a great value and it can pretty much do everything the larger cinch can do! 



Don't walk, RUN to preorder now! http://bit.ly/38Ob7GM

And if you’re new to the We R brand, shop the original cinch here: http://bit.ly/3ckm19u


3. Crop-A-Dile Multi-Punches 



We R is known for many great things but if you had to pick just one it’s for their strong punches. They started with the Crop-A-Dile ten years ago and now they’ve come out with some new additions to that family. Introducing Crop-A-Dile Multi-Punches! 


Whether you prefer more fun punches or simple/basic punches, We R has you covered with these guys! 


                  (Decorative Punches)                                           (Utility Punches)

4. Glue Gun


“Just when I think I don’t need a glue gun…I see this! Very cool.” -Paulin V.


The low-temp glue gun, more like glue gun station, is finally here! Perfect for paper, fabric, ribbon, burlap and foam.



The glue station of your dreams includes: Maker's Glue Gun, glue gun stand & storage, glue shaper, 2 finger protectors, 10 clear glue sticks and 5 black glue sticks.

5. Foil Quill Cordless Freestyle Pen


Early 2021 launch- the battery operated, cordless Freestyle Pen!

See what amazing projects We R designers have created using the Foil Quill Cordless Freestyle Pen below!

6. Square Button Press Inserts


Who doesn’t love making and receiving personalized buttons? Such a cute gift idea!


Easily create buttons, magnets, keychains, and more with the We R Button Press. It cuts your paper to the correct size to fit your project. The handle is ergonomic and easy to press. Create your buttons out of paper, cardstock, and fabric.  


After the huge success of releasing their Button Maker not too long ago, We R just dropped their Square Button Press Insert! Prior to this launch, the Button Press only allowed for circle creations. Now you have the ability to switch it up even more!



If you don’t already, step one is to snag yourself a Button Press Kit (http://bit.ly/3prD11v) and then preorder the Square Insert here: http://bit.ly/3nWM0pB
