Flower forming with foam (or foamiran) is a first for me. I was excited but also a little nervous to try this new method–especially since it involves a hot iron. After my first flower, I was hooked! I’ve since purchased a couple of different flower foams from different companies so I can compare and contrast […]
This Shaker Card Box Kit is really fun beyond just making shaker cards. Not only do you get nested dies in different shapes, but there’s a very generous amount of shaker bits too. You’ll be making shaker cards for days! What’s great about the shaker bits that come in the kit, is you can use […]
These Peek-A-Boo dies come in two varieties — the Christmas and the Everyday. I don’t have the entire Christmas set, but I did get the full Everyday set when it went on sale. The unique aspect of these stamp and die sets is that you get stamps for the front and the back of the […]
This is such a fun kit! The dies are pretty unique to anything I have in my stash. They actually do a partial die cut and there are several different sizes in butterflies and flowers. The butterflies just cut the wings but leave the body attached to the card. The flowers also have some extra […]
I was so excited to dive into this kit. I have a few other boxes I haven’t even opened, but I wanted to get straight into this box because I had been eyeing the “character-over-the-edge” dies for a while now. And I love them all so it’s so hard to just get one or two […]
I’m taking my first ever Amtrak train trip and it’s from coast-to-coast! Now, get this, for about 3 days I won’t have any Wi-Fi access. Eeeek! That’s definitely a first for me. I found out a few days before I was set to travel and decided to pack some craft supplies! I managed to bring […]
I love the Build-A-Character line of dies from Crafter’s Companion. I find it easier and more fun than stamping a coloring. Because of the layering, you often still get some dimension. This particular kit is awesome because there are actually two styles of build-a-characters. The first is pre-printed and pre-cut pieces that you just need […]
I’ve never used Crafter’s Companion “Create-A-Card” dies before. I am; however, familiar with Tonic Studio’s “verso” dies, and these are pretty similar. These are wonderfully versatile dies. They are also a very easy way to really make a statement with your card because the decorative element doesn’t need much more than a sentiment and you’re […]
This was a super fun kit to work with. I really like the Edge’ables line of dies that Crafter’s Companion offers. It really does allow you to create really lovely, impressive cards. Also, it’s nice to know you can use them to create pop-outs on the inside of your card! One thing that makes this […]
I actually haven’t done much decoupaging where you line up multiple layers of the same image to build up dimension. I was looking forward to this kit for that reason. What’s really cool is that this kit not only comes with pre-printed decoupage sheets but it also comes with a stamp set that allows you […]
