This has been such a fun year with you all!!
I have had so much fun sharing projects and tutorials with you – and parties and Weird Searches and other random stuff!
I’ve been looking back over the last year and I thought it would be fun to a roundup of the Top 12 Posts from the past year!
These are according to page views – are your favorites on the list?
I’m trying to get all my lists made and all my handmade gifts started – but I still have some shopping to do!
While I love being able to hop down to my local craft store, sometimes it’s hard to find things – and let’s face it – sometimes I just want to shop in my jammies!
I found a new online craft store that I’m excited to tell you about! Have you been to visit Consumer Crafts yet?
They have such a great selection of crafting supplies! Jewelry, Scrapbooking, Wood, Paint, Glue – and lots and lots more!
You had to know I’ve been doing some browsing around the Jewelry section. They’ve got some fun, unique lines that I can’t find locally!
Look at these cute little sliders – wouldn’t they be fun to buy for some sweet little cording bracelets?
These are only $2.47 for all 4!
They also have a great Organizer section. This little Craft Storganizer would be so cute on my desk – so I’d have washi tape and notes handy!
I’ve also had my eye on those super cute little Glue Gun Helpers. I have just about burnt off my fingerprints – I think these little magic wands and finger protectors would come in pretty handy.
They have some REALLY pretty bead strands – I’ve spent way too long looking through (and drooling over these).
I could get in real trouble in those bead strand pages. :)
Consumer Crafts is having some great sales coming up this weekend too!
There will be doorbuster deals while supplies last, starting Black Friday and running through Cyber Monday.
And on Monday – the whole site will be 30% off!! Which is crazy considering how low their prices are already!
If you don’t want to wait until Monday, they’re having a special on Thanksgiving Day- you get a Free tote bag with every order!
There will also be 30 random orders will have filled bags up to $200 in value!
So will you be shopping for any craft supplies this weekend? Maybe for your crafty friends – or to finish up some gifts?
I will be! :)
Disclosure: I wrote this post as part of a campaign with Blueprint Social and Consumer Crafts. All opinions are my own.
Ok – you guys know that when they were handing out Paper Crafting genes I missed out right? I think I was in the addicted to ice cream gene line instead.
I’ve always liked the look of paper crafts, especially handmade cards, but after a few sad little craft fails years ago, I gave up and stuck to store bought cards instead.
Welllll – no longer!! I have found the coolest and easiest way to make Handmade Cards Ever!
{Can you hear the joyful angelic background music??}
Have you heard of the new David Tutera Celebrate card making line?
It is really so easy! It’s all set up around a 3 Step Process -
Step 1 is all the Base. The line has a big selection of all types and sizes of Base Cards. Embossed, Metallic, Glitter, Pretty Edging, White and Colors!
You can sort of see that some of the packages have letters also – those relate to size.
Step 2 is an assortment of layers – and this comes in all sorts of colors, textures and embossed shapes and cutouts!
These have letters too – so you can easily match up Step 1 “A”s and Step 2 “A”s!
Then Step 3 is all the Candy! There are all sorts of embellishments to top things off with – cute sayings, shapes, borders and lots more!
Isn’t this fun?
I will confess that even with everything layed out so easy for me, I was still nervous when it came time to put my first card together. But it was so easy.
You start with any Step 1 Base and choose a Step 2 Layer to put on it!
PS – have you ever used this cool tapey stuff?? It’s amazing. You just drag it on your paper and it puts down a layer of two-sided tape! (Yes, all you paper crafters can go ahead and snicker at my ignorance. I don’t mind.)
Once you have your Step 2 Layer on, then you can go ahead and add your Step 3 Embellishments! I chose this fun craft paper colored border first -
And they I added this little “Thinking of You” embellishment!! These come all ready to go – with little sticky tabs on the back so it gives the card a 3-d effect!
I love it. I may send it to myself.
So then I got all caught up and made some more!
One of the Step 3 Embellishments is a package of a bunch of different sayings. They’re all stickers so they’re easy to apply to any blank shape.
This glitter card and layer are really fun – and so much easier to work with than actual glitter. No mess!
Aren’t they fun?? I really can’t believe how easy it all is!
