I love this stamp so much that I accidentally ordered it twice. LOL. Instead of a flat ornament the designs are properly shaped so that they look round. I think this is going to be my go-to for Christmas cards this year. It can be combined with foiling, heat embossing, and various other mediums to create a variety of looks. This is a great unique stamp. I love it.

All the accents you need to create gorgeous scrapbook pages or greeting cards. Compliments the beautiful Graphic 45 papers. You can't go wrong with this packet. So many good things!

What else do I need to say? Nobody does beautiful designer paper like Graphic 45. This is a big yummy 8x8 paper pad filled with so much goodness. All sheets are double-sided for double the gorgeousness.

Bees and sunflowers...YAY! This paper is absolutely gorgeous. The colors, the artwork, and the designs are just out of this world. The paper is double-sided. An entire sheet is perfect for scrapbooking but I'm a cardmaker and with strategic cutting, I can get several card front from a sheet. Unfortunately, the paper is so beautiful that I haven't been able to cut into it yet but I will.

I love pretty sentiments with great fonts. This stamp set really spoke to me. It hit all the marks for what I love. I make a lot of just because cards and these sentiments are just perfect for the outside or the inside of a card. Really beautiful.

I've been looking a long time for a really big hello die in a font that I really loved. I finally found it. This die cuts beautifully and is a good large size that really makes a statement on a card front. I highly recommend it.

I kind of got this by accident. I thought I was ordering a different kind of tape. This isn't quite tacky enough for what I wanted to use it for. On the other hand, it is easy to tear.

This Magic Mat is amazing. It replaces the top plate in your sandwich and keeps your plates from warping. I have a Big Shot and a Gemini Jr. and it works with either one. I do use a shim when cutting intricate dies but it does a great job.

I've been looking for a good scripty background stamp and finally found this one. There are so many ways to use it. Works great for card making, scrapbooking or mixed media pieces. Create watermark looks, tone on tone background, embossing, etc. Just a really great stamp. Good quality.

I've wanted one of these for quite a while. They've been out of stock and when I got the notice that they were back, I ordered immediately. I love it. It does such a good job of die-cutting. So nice that I no longer need to turn a crank but everything is electric and automatic. This was my last big purchase for my new craft room and I love it.

If you've been crafting for very long, you've accumulated a lot of STUFF. This rotating craft tower organizer will hold a bunch of things and keep it all handy and ready for use. The best part is that the shelves are adjustable so that you can arrange them to suit your needs. It keeps all your most-used supplies front and center where you can easily grab them. The little silicone rings fasten onto the tabs to keep everything secure. Extra shelves are available for purchase should you decide that you need them.

Momento Tuxedo Black Ink is a "go to" ink for crafters. It is Copic friendly and doesn't smear.

This stamp can be used to make a simple card by stamping in black over an ink blended or watercolor background. I like the simple sentiment included as well. Woodware stamps are great quality products.

In spite of their popularity, I hadn't jumped on the gnome bandwagon until I saw this little guy. Well, actually he's a big guy as the image will fill an A2 size card. So much fun to color and I love the sentiments.

I just discovered Woodware stamps and this is one of their best. I adore snowmen and this big image is so adorable. It just stamped and colored it up last night and I love it. He'll be featured on many Christmas cards this year.

I didn't get this in time for 2020 Christmas cards but will definitely be using it for 2021. Saw this online and fell in love with it. It fits a slimline card perfectly, I love the font on the sentiments and it is super easy to color. I've even seen it stamped in a solid color and it's still very pretty.

The replacements pads are a requirement for my Big Shot machine. I do a lot of die cutting and these last the longest of any I've had.

I love these foam squares and use them a lot. They are easy to apply, adhere well, and are one of my basic cardmaking supplies. I use them to pop up elements on my greeting cards to add dimension. They are a perfect size and can even be cut in half when a smaller foam square is needed.

I purchased this paper cutter in the hopes of getting more accurate cuts for my greeting cards as well as not having to buy new cutting blades so often. It does do a good job, however, it is smaller than I thought it would be. Not sure if this is available in a larger size but if there is I would recommend buying a larger one.

I just recently redid my craft room with all new furniture and storage solutions. I have a lot of paper flowers and needed a way to store them vs just dumping them all into a cube bin. I purchased four of these containers and sorted the flowers by color family. All four with lids fit nicely inside the cube storage bin and make it much easier to find the flowers that I need when I'm working on a project. I can pull out just one little bin as needed. The handles make them easy to pick up. I have them labeled on both the top and the side for convenience. These would also be great for sorting and storing ribbon, embellishments or other craft supplies.

Wow! Didn't know how much I needed this little gadget. Keeps a hot glue gun handy and protects your work surface all at the same time. It is sturdy and a good weight. Love it.

I'm in the middle of a craft room redo and wanted to get my sequins, etc. out of those little bags and into something better. I bought this in both sizes and it is great. Keeps everything neat and organized and easy to see what you have in your stash. Looks pretty, too.

Oh, wow! This works so much better than my old palette knife. I love using different gels and embossing pastes with stencils and this is the perfect tool for scraping off the excess and insuring an even layer of product. I highly recommend it.

This paper pack has two of my favorite things. A great assortment of black and white paper and pandas. I love adding a pop of black and white paper to my greeting cards. I also have a number of panda stamps that will coordinate beautifully with this paper. This package also contains a bonus of cute cutouts and stickers! Quite a nice assortment of paper, die cuts and stickers.

I love this little bear holding a bouquet of flowers. I just got it but have already used it to make a cute card. It is a lot of fun to color. Very happy with my purchase.

Such a cute little bunny. I haven't made a card with this yet but I know that I will use the raindrop stencil to go with it. Fun to color. I'm happy with my purchase.

I specifically bought this glue to restick my Scan N Cut mat. It works great for that but I will use it for other things as well. However, the wide tip on this glue makes it ideal for gluing large surfaces. It goes on blue and at that point is permanent. If you wait for it to dry clear, then it is a temporary tacky surface which is what I needed for my mat. I have this glue in other sizes for different applications.

I'm a paper crafter primarily making greeting cards. This purchase was a replacement for my Make Art Stay-tion that I ruined by using glue remover on it. I love this product. The magnets hold stencils in place while I'm using them and the gridlines and ruler make sure that my sentiment strips are always straight. I highly recommend this product. Just don't get glue on it and don't try to clean it with anything other than a damp cloth and mild detergent. It is such a staple in my craft room that I had to replace it.

I'm always looking for great sentiments for the inside of my cards. I fell in love with this one as soon as I saw the fabulous script and read the message. Something a little more interesting than just a plain Happy Birthday. I know I will use this one a LOT this year and longer.

I'm always on the lookout for new Christmas sentiments. These are very traditional and I love the sentiment and the font and style. A wonderful addition to your Christmas cardmaking supplies.

I am always looking for great sentiment stamps. I love the font and styling of these stamps. I'm saving these for 2020 Christmas cards. They will be so dramatic either stamped or stamped and embossed and used as a focal point on a card.

I purchased this and one other set of bold Christmas greetings to save for my 2020 Christmas cards. I love the font and styling. Stamped or embossed I think these will be great.

I saw this paper after I'd finished my cards for 2019 but will use it when I start Christmas cards for 2020. Such cute designs.

This embossing folder creates a deeply textured design on paper stock. I bought it to use as a background for a frog stamp and die set.

I've wanted this for a long time and couldn't resist when it went on sale. The rounded sponge tips give you a much nicer blend without the hard edges you get from a flat edged sponge. The case makes it easy to find the right sponge dauber for any color ink and stores them neatly. They were slightly smaller than I expected but work great especially for coloring die cuts. I would recommend this set.

This is a wonderful variety of fall leaves in two sizes. The dies cut and emboss for a realistic look. There are 14 different dies in this set. I highly recommend it.

With this punch board you can create virtually any word tag needed for cards or scrapbook pages. It is easy to use and cuts cleanly. It punches words in a clean easy to read block print and the letters are perfectly spaced. It is small and easy to store.

Just purchased a bunch of Nuvo Crystal Drops to fill in my collection. These are the best I've used. They are easy to use, self-leveling and look great.

Six of these gorgeous cameos in a package. I love using them on ornate flower cards. I love that they are all the same color. Bought some from another company and they were assorted colors - most of which I never used.

This cardstock is gorgeous. It is a really bright reflective gold. Only problem is that it is pretty heavy duty and difficult to die cut. Still I've used it for backgrounds and borders and it is really pretty.

I love the look of hand lettering but have not yet mastered the technique. In the meantime these Happy Gram stamps give me the look of hand lettering without the hassle. I love Tammy's designs and have several of these stamps. I bought this one because I wanted a stamp that would work for many different occasions. They are easy to color and look great.

I saw a card made using this die on Pinterest and had to have it. It creates a beautiful eyelet lace look and can be used for borders or complete coverage. This is a set of three different dies and you can mix and match them with other Spellbinder dies.

The stamp shammy is a great way to clean your stamps. I had been using baby wipes but they tend to leave a residue on the stamps and are prone to leaving "fuzzies" on the stamp. Went online to learn how to clean and care for the stamp shammy. Love it. A very basic tool in my stamping arsenal.

This stamp can be used just like any other stamp but I copied the technique on the PB&J video using the Misti and coloring the stamp as you add each element. The video is easy to follow and my cards came out great.

I finally bought this pen after seeing it recommended by many other cardmakers. It does a much better job vs the cheaper ones that I've used. Definitely worth the purchase.

I've wanted one of these for some time. When they went on sale I knew it was time to purchase one. I am not disappointed. Best thing is being able to stamp multiple times to get crisp black images for sentiments. I wonder what I ever did without one. No more waste because of having to throw away a project because the stamp didn't stamp properly. Just ink it up and stamp again in the exact same spot.
Also great for creating multiple cards.

I have a similar birthday die that I use frequently. As soon as I saw this collection in inspiration words, I knew that I wanted it. Suitable for many different greeting cards.

This embossing folder is a little different from any I've seen. Would work well for a masculine card or for a Christmas card.

I have quite a collection of embossing folders and have been using them more often to create backgrounds for greeting cards. This is a lovely basic design suitable for any season, holiday or occasion.

I apparently didn't read the description well enough. I did a search for aspen tree dies and this came up. I bought it thinking I was getting a die. Instead it is a stencil. It wasn't worth going to the trouble of returning it so I kept it. I'll play around with it later and see if I can use it. It is a really nice design just not what I was looking for.

I had been borrowing a friend's paper crimper and was anxious to get my own when I saw this one online. I am disappointed in the product. It has plastic rollers. My friend's are metal. It doesn't crimp tightly. I wanted something more like corrugated and it appears these are intended more for making rosettes. You do get the versatility of two different rollers that each produce a different sized crimp. I would not recommend this product if you are looking for a tight corrugated style crimp. If you just want to make rosettes then it would be fine.

Love this set of greeting dies. I have two sets of these script word dies. They cut cleanly and are a good size for cards or scrapbook pages. I just love the script style of these Tim Holtz word dies.

I loved this die the minute I saw it and just had to have it. Love the style of the trees and they can be used to create a scene on a card of scrapbook page or can be used alone for a great simple card for Christmas, winter, or any time of year.

Love this stamp. Going to use it to make cards for my fabulous friends. Art Impressions stamps are good quality and always bring a smile.

Great assortment of die cuts. And can be mixed and matched to create just the phrase you want. I love the font.

I already had the oval die and wanted this round one to compliment my collection of dies used in card making. Each die can be used alone or can be combined to create a variety of embellishments. Spellbinder dies always cut clean.

Love Spellbinder dies. I always get a good cut with them. This is a smaller design perfect to use on a greeting card or along the side of a photo on a scrapbook page.

Love Spellbinder dies. I always get a good cut with them. I especially like this set of dies because it has a nice selection of leaves. I make a lot of cards that are decorated with flowers and I can always find just the right leaf to go with the flower I'm using. Just a good all around set of dies.

Love this cross. Prettiest one I've seen. Very intricate design and suitable for Easter, baptisms, confirmation or sympathy cards. Cuts beautifully. Spellbinder dies are one of the best.

I've wanted a window die for a long time and finally found one that I love. Spellbinder dies are the best. They always give a clean cut. I buy them almost exclusively. This die is great for card making. Fill a window box with flowers, show a scene "outside" the window. Nice for Christmas with a scene that looks like you're peeking inside the window or for spring themed cards. I can think of so many different ways to use this die.

Spellbinder dies are the best. I always get a clean cut. This corner die can be used in so many ways. I am a card maker vs a scrapbooker now that my kids are all grown. This just adds a lovely flourish that would enhance any card or scrapbook page.

Graphic 45 comes out with the BEST papers. There are two pages of designs for each month of the year and they just get better and better. So many uses for this. Create a calendar, make a birthday card for each month, scrapbook an activity for each month. Tons of ideas on Pinterest using this paper.

This is a great basic die for scrapbooking or card making. Can also be used to create tags. Spellbinders has the best dies. They cut cleanly every time. I use a Cuttlebug and almost exclusively buy Spellbinder dies because I know they will do a good job.

Spellbinders makes wonderful dies. Not only do I love the designs but they cut really well. I do more card making than scrapbooking and I use these a LOT with my Cuttlebug. I highly recommend them.

I love the design of this die. However, I cannot get it to cut out completely. I've tried different sandwiches, shims, running it through multiple times, turning it 90 degrees between cuts, everything I can think of and I still end up having to fussy cut lots of uncut areas. I'm disappointed because this is a beautiful die. If anyone has a suggestion to how I can get a better cut, I'd love to know what it is.

Love these dies. I primarily make cards but would be great for scrapbooking and other crafts. These cut cleanly and well. Love them.

I just saw a tutorial on how to make strawberries using a heart punch and a small flower punch. These sentiments are the perfect thing to use with the resulting strawberries on a variety of cards.

I was looking for a variety of Happy Birthday stamps for card making. I like the combination of fonts on this one and it is a good size as well.

I was looking for a Happy Birthday stamp with a pretty script. This was the one. I also love poppies and this stamp included such pretty flowers.

I love these wonderful die cutting and embossing templates. Unfortunately, they come with no instructions. However, you can find lots of videos on You Tube showing how to use them. Example...only the ones with solid lines cut. You need repositionable tape to hold them in place when running them through your die cutting and embossing machine, etc. These are the kinds of things you'll only learn by watching the videos.

I love this paper. It has a right and a left side sheet in the set. I was unable to find any paper with fireworks on it in the stores. I wanted to document our local fireworks display where my husband and I had our first date and then attended one year later as husband and wife. This paper is just as special as the occasion. Scrapbook.com gave excellent service. From now I'll buy all my supplies from them.
