*Craft Tidy

I absolutely love storage solutions of all types so when I saw this craft tidy I knew it would be perfect for my desk.

It's the perfect size and the compartments are really useful for storing your different supplies. The handle is really comfortable to hold making your stash easy to transport between rooms etc.

It can be used for pens, tools, embellishments or whatever you wish. It is really sturdy and I love the purple shade - it's my favourite colour.

*Precision craft knife + 2 blades

I have been needing a new craft knife for the longest time so I knew that this would be an item I would be choosing straight away.

This knife comes with two spare blades and it is so comfortable to hold. I have been able to cut really precisely using this and I am very impressed. The handle is really comfortable and the blades are easy to change.

The pointed blade makes it easy for intricate cuts plus, of course, its purple!!! Winner!!

*****

*Glitter gemstone bundle

Oh yes!!! All I ever need in my life and on my creations is a little bit of sparkle. I love picking up adhesive gems and this multi pack is perfect in my opinion for all crafters - new and established.

There are 576 glitter gemstones in 3mm and 5mm with so many gorgeous colours. This is such a useful add on to my already full gem collection - you can never have enough though can you lol.

*Foxy and friends ultimate bundle

Oh my goodness - this is an amazing bundle of cuteness. I cannot actually believe how huge it is - it just goes on and on and on. I show every single item on my video so please do check it out if you want to see everything that is included.

I honestly cannot even explain how lovely this is. There are so many possibilities and I really do want to create lots of things to show you. This is a very different style to cardmaking to what I would normally do but I am excited to get stuck in.

Here's a list of what is included ...

1 x Foxy & Friends Luxury Topper Collection

1 x Foxy & Friends Concept Cards Collection - Pop-up Cards & Aperture Cards

1 x Foxy & Friends Luxury Inserts (48 x sheets, 16 designs 3 of each)

1 x Little Book of Foxy & Friends

Blimey - that's a lot!!

So that's it - how lucky am I!! Thankyou so much to Hunkdory for gifting this to me, I am so very grateful. Don't forget the 10% discount code if you fancy picking up some new supplies.

Have a wonderful week everyone.

See you all soon xxx

Toread Tuesday

 

 

Morning folks, oooh it seems ages since I shared one of the new Toread stamps but it is only a few days. Have you all managed to order yours yet? What a successful launch it was. I love these so much as you know so I thought I would share another cutie with you all.

Just incase you have been living in a cave for the past month these fabulous stamps are from Crafter’s Companion. There is a matching CD-Rom too which is where I printed these gorgeous papers from. There is also Reddy decoupage and Hunkydory paper kits too so there really is something for everyone.

My Spectrum Noir pens have been given a good work out too with all this colouring. The vibrant colours are shown so well with these adorable images. Remember for great results to stamp or print onto Neenah card.

Don’t forget the new Ultimate Pen Storage is now for sale also from Crafter’s Companion. It is available on the website and also from Create and Craft – there is a 4 day deal on it so check out the website or tv for more details. Here is a picture of my speccies all neatly packed away in my new storage. All types of pens fit these including Promarkers and Copics. I just need to buy more trays to add onto this to store all my pens. There is a special offer on the website this week for the storage so check it out if you want a bargain!

I will leave Mickey Mouse guarding my pens whilst I am at work.

See you all later xxxx

Stamp Storage: A Step by Step Guide

Good afternoon folks, well I thought I would pop by today and share a little step by step guide with you all on storing stamps. If you are like me you probably have more stamps than you know what to do with. Mine are in drawers and boxes all over my craft room. So I have decided to get organised .... at last. I know there are lots of ways to store stamps and it is very much a personal preference but after a chat on Facebook last night I decided to share how I am storing mine. Hope you find it useful.....

1. What you will need:

A laminator and A4 laminating pouches

A4 Ringbinder and punched pouches

Stamps

Crafter's Companions Stick & Spray

Rock-a-blocks

Ink pad

Cheap A4 printer paper (do not use your best paper)

2. Spray the reverse of your stamps with Stick & Spray. Leave for 30 seconds to become tacky.

3. Position your stamp on your rock-a-block and apply ink.

4. Stamp your images onto your paper.

5. Insert stamped paper into laminating pouch and laminate following manufacturers instructions. Allow to cool.

6. Place your stamps on the reverse of the laminated sheet. These will stick in place ready for use because you have already applied Stick & Spray.

7. Place laminated sheet with stamps inside punched pouch. I also like to keep the stamp insert inside the pouch for additional reference. This set is Popcorn the Bear Souffle Collection Say it with Flowers Stamp Set.

8. Store inside your ringbinder.

9. Repeat for all your stamps to create a super organised storage system!

I hope you found this useful. I like to store my stamps on the reverse of the sheet so that I can see quickly and clearly what stamps are on that sheet. It is fab for all the accessory and sentiment stamps too because I always forget about these. I am hoping now that I can see what I have I will use them even more.

..... Now for the rest of them .... see you in a few weeks when I finish lol

Happy stamping folks xxx
