Woot-Woot – it's Friday! Last Friday I did a post on "my favorite things under $10.00" and it was well received and I thought….heck – there are still MORE items under this amount that I would not be without!
As I said last week and I hold true for this week…
this is a post that is different for me…but one that I stand behind completely!
I am going to share with you 10 products that are under $10.00 that I simply would not be without! I bet there are another group if under 10's but next week – I'll put my big girl pants and move up to $20.00!!!
There are no Stamps Sets in this….that will be a later post!
I will also let you know that these are not in any particular order…just me thinking of what I could not be without!
Remember….if you have the tools that make you shine and even if you are having a blizzard…a heat wave…WHATEVER – …your projects will come out amazing….every-time…cause having the right tools will always result in a great finished project!
Please make sure that you look at the thump nails at the end…..you can click and add them into a shopping cart right from home in your jammies – now that's my kind of shopping!
#1 Embossing Folders – (page226-227) $7.95….these are gems…totally gems and I am guilty that I do not use them enough but when I do…SHAZAM – I am happy (my friend Jeannie adores them and they are the best bang for your buck)
Too darn many to tell you what are my favorites….but I am going to go with (2) new ones – the Large Polka Dots (they make me smile) and the Lovely Lace (very fun and different!)
#2 Paper Piercing Templates – (page 218) $7.95 You know I love paper, and what better way to show off a simple piece of paper with some simple piercing! These are so affordable that the end result is total fun!
Again, there are several but I think the most practical to start off with is the Essentials!
#3 Memento Ink (Page 212) $5.95 -This is not available until Tuesday but it is a must… It provides a perfect black image and the best thing is you can clean it like you do you regular stamps! You know I love Staz on and that it a MUST with water-coloring….but you have to use a different cleaner!
#4 Candy Dots (page 208) $5.95 These just remind me of the candy that you peel off…remember??? How simple… how effective! I am cheating a bit here as I need to include the bases ($2.95) if you want – these will stick without the bases(which is what I usually do)…I do not have a favorite color collection – I have them all and love them all!
#5 – Embossing Buddy (page 213) $5.95 – There are many times that I get emails that people are not pleased with their embossing….hands down when I ask if they used the Stampin' Buddy – they say no! This takes the static and dust off of you paper so when you use the versa mark, you will get a clear stamp….which results in a perfect emboss!
#6 -Adhesive Remover (page 204) – $3.50 This is what I call a magic weapon…WHY? Love it – it is a lifesaver for many reasons…taking adhesives off….little boo-boo's of ink….a great eraser!
#7 – Sticky Strip -(page 204) $6.95 – I call this the "Red Tape" and it is a MUST for 3-D projects! Would not be without it….I would definitely get at least (2) rolls as if you run out and need it – you will be sad!
#8 – Glue Dots (page 204) $4.95 – Having the right adhesives always result in a clean project! These are fun to tuck underneath a paper, perfect for ribbon and I like using the paper piecing tool to "lift" them up off the paper….(wouldn't want to mess up my nails!)
#9 – Decorative Masks (page 205) $2.95 for (2) – These are SUPER! So easy to use…so easy to clean! Can you say easy-peasy with a HUGE WOW!!!! Click here to see the super super pig card I did and click here for the gift holder!
#10 – Gift Card Enclosures – (5.95) – LOVE THESE!!!! You get 10 in a pack and they are the best! The sky is the limit in decorating them….buy (2) of these…you'll use them! Click here to see the post I did on them!
Well…do you agree with my choices? There are so many products out there that make what we do easier! We are in the final count down to get that "Rental Car" for just $50.00…I say why not?
If you are ready to get started, click here and you fill your tank up with $55.00 worth of any Stampin' Up! products to get going…..then get ready to make a big wish list to take advantage of a 30% off discount on your first order…..it's truly that easy…
Please email me and I will be happy to help you! Hobbyist are THE BEST…..as you have the drive, passion and sheer FUN….cause' you love the product…just like I do! I just want you to do what makes you happy!
If you need to park the car…."I'll help you parallel park"
Until tomorrow!
Susan, I love your blog theme for today! Your under $10.00 list is great. And although I use most of them already, I see that I need to add the Decorative Masks, the Gift Card Enclosure Pack, and those two new Embossing Folder designs! Thank you! Happy weekend!
I agree and have all of these except the new Polka Dot EF . I just received the Masks and hope to get some time to play with them . And I get so pleased when I take the time to do the piercing …it`s fun and adds so much I think .
Fun Friday presentation ,Susan !
Hi Susan,
Love your beautiful, yet simple designs. I look forward to getting your interesting blogs. You are a treasure.
I’ve been using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink pads for quite some time and use them exclusively. They are the only black ink pads that do not stain my stamps. The best part is that you can emboss with this ink just as you can with all our inks. Memento is the only ink to use with all the Blendabilities markers. I’m sure that’s why SU chose to start including it in our catalog. It works beautifully with watercoloring, too. You just have to be sure its completely dry before applying watercolor.
Keep those beautiful cards coming, Susan!
Lovely list. I have quite a few of them and agree how useful they are. Definitely need to add the masks and embossing folders my Wish List. Thank you for such wonderful blog posts!
