Hi readers!
Today, as this year is coming to the end, I decided to share my top 10 craft products for 2012!
Here we go!
10-BUTTONS
Buttons are a huge addiction of mine. I like them on cards, frames, altered projects ... on everything!
And here are some of my favorites!
etsy.com also carries a huge variety of buttons !
9 - PEARLS AND GEMS
These can be scattered around a card to create a nice effect, I can say that I use them quite often...
I like use the self-adhesive, but I also like to use the Anita's ones that come in a million of colors and sizes and you can adhere with a tiny dot of glossy accents!
8 - BAKER'S TWINE
Nice addition to every project. Doodlebug twines are my faves, but Queen & Co also makes nice twines - in the most wonderful colors!
etsy.com also carries a huge variety of twines!
7 - FISKARS STAMP PRESS
A really nice tool that can give you great stamp images with precision due to its foam feet...with gridlines so can really help to line up stamped images!
6 - HERO ARTS SHADOW INKS
All of them are great! Crisp images that smooth out as they dry, ideal for bold stamped images and backgrounds!
All of their colors are great! A must have!
5 - GLOSSY ACCENTS
This is the must have adhesive. It can adhere EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE !
4 - DIES
What can I say about dies! Such a great investment, versatile and you can use them over and over again...
Some of my very faves are the bigz dies and the wafer thin dies (Sizzix and Memory box).
3 - SIZZIX BIG SHOT
The best die cutting machine ever!
2 - DISTRESS INKS/STAINS
Distress Inks are addictive! You know it?
These inks with water do really fun things, a truly artistic result is what you get every time you use them. There are many many techniques out there and they are a really good investment. In 2012 I finally completed the full collection!
Stains are the liquid form of these inks. I personally love the white picket fence and the metallics that came out few months ago...!
1 - HERO ARTS STAMPS
My number one for 2012 is Hero Arts stamps! Why?
Fabulous designs, great quality, hundreds of techniques involve stamps! Need more?
These are my favorite designs - can't get enough! And their new 2013 catalogue is fantastic - I am still waiting my order to arrive...
Also, the stamp and die combos are fantastic right?
Anyways, thanks for visiting!
Have a happy, creative and joyful 2013!
