This issue (and pretty much every issue) is chock full of ideas and inspiration! Love that you also get freebie digitals as well. Always excited to get this in my order!

You know, as a paper crafter you can have several projects in play. Maybe you're still deciding on what paper to use or ephemera, etc. These totes will keep your projects / ideas that are "in progress" in order and ready to pick up and go. Sturdy totes. Frosted but you can still see through it so you know which project you are looking at. Once you've decided what you are doing, it will keep your project "ingredients" in a central, orderly location. No scrambling for where did I put that pattern paper? stencil? stamp?. I will definitely buy more of these and in the 2-pack version. I don't have a craft room so these totes really are essential for me.

Very high quality cards and envelopes; the color is so beautiful; I will be using these for my yearly Thanksgiving cards enclosed in the bags of food given out to those in need by my church. These are great as is or with a simply stamped image and/or sentiment and will also work for Summer and Spring. Whichever way you go, these cards will make whatever you do with them pop. I would definitely buy these again. Very reasonable price for the quality and amount.

These tweezers are such a convenience and need for the crafter. I use these to hold my cardstock while I emboss so I don't burn my fingers (I'm not alone, right? LOL!). They also make for an extra set of fingers to hold / pinch something close while you get that one item you thought was on your craft table, but it has disappeared! For me it's usually my liquid glue which goes missing just when I need to glue a paper flower together! I will say that I have this in another brand as well and the "points" are a bit more finished than the Scrapbook brand. Just something to look out for when using, hence the four stars but it does get the job done.

Love these envelopes to keep my stamps that have die cuts together. They also serve as a great way to transport any "works in progress" in your bag. They make a great protector for your Gelli plate prints or scraps you are using for collaging. Definitely a must have for any paper crafter.

Love these for their simplicity; you can mix and match the words or use them on their own to let that special person know what you feel about them. These would work great with all the travel journal, planner DIYs out there.

I see myself using these for summer party decor; shrinky dink jewelry; beach / summer scrapbook spread or as focal points on cards or mixed media pages. So much fun in one die set!

I've been watching a lot of videos on these products from Tim Holtz and though I'm just starting to figure these out I love the color choices, portability and abilities of these distress crayons. Really looking forward to stepping into mixed media with these!

Not knocking sentiment stamps but they are limited; however, phrase stamps like these are not only funny but allow you to use your other stamps outside of their own sentiment stamps that they came with. I especially like to use these with my Tim Holtz Crazy Birds or Hipster rubber stamps. These stand alone as well so lots of versatility as far as I'm concerned.

If you want to use your Tim Holtz Storage Binder for stamps other than Tim's these refill pages are a must; good way of keeping those smaller red rubber stamps in one place and in order.

Love this binder for storing my Tim Holtz stamps; those red rubber stamps need a proper storage place and this is it. I do wish my other similar stamps (Dina Wakely, Dylusions) would fit in it to but the configuration of their stamps are a little different and won't fit; otherwise, 5 starts all around for this storage solution.
