The sun is shining 2 days in a row now and there is a nice little breeze to accompany the weather.
If the weather holds out next weekend I would really like to have my 1st BBQ for the year.
Today’s Prompt from Do Craft Creativity is to write about your
favourite craft products.
It was hard to think which products are my favourites so I thought
what are my top 5 items I could not do without at home? This helped me a bit
The Ultimate Crafter's
Companion Pro by Crafter's Companion
It took me a while to master the pro but now I just absolutely
love it. It helps me score my cards easily and I do not have to worry about measuring
as most of the lines are there for me. I bought this so I don’t have to buy pre
scored card stock and then I can have different size card. I also love that I
can emboss and make envelope with this and very easy to put away under my desk
when I am done. It’s a must have if you are limited to space I think.
Pinfliar silicon glue
I really don’t need to explain why this is a favorite
as I am sure you will all agree easy to use and it works for whatever project
you are working on. Without it I will be lost
Collection of backing papers
I subscribe with cardmaking
and papercraft magazine because I just love the free gift they give readers for
the last 2 years. Every now again they
will put fabulous free luxury paper and I love using then for all occasions.
Not only that each month I there is 4 bonus papers that fits with the season which
I can also download and reuse time and time again. Do craft backing papers are
also gorgeous when there are any available for download.
Big Shot
Why is this my favorite
product I will explain. Its electronic, it can die cut, emboss and can take
other die cutter products. It’s at easy reach from my desk and I love to cut
toppers into different shapes for dimension.
Embellishments
I cannot live without
them weather they are gems, Buttons or ribbons I also make room to add
embellishments on my cards. Before pin flair I always felt that something was
missing as I did not want to add a gem using foam pads now as you will start to
see in my work I add a something on the side or corner.
Big Shot was my fave too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Coventry Ann after writing my blog I bought myself a little treat spellbinder nestabillites for catching up with my blogs.
DeleteYou have a great list there, and have explained everything really well. I understand what you say about the big shot (even though I don't have on) and I love how these machines can emboss and do things you just can't do by hand. Thank you for sharing these with us all. I really love your blog.
