Happy 4th of July to all! It feels great to have a long weekend and I hope that you are able to do something fun and make lots of memories! This is the 3rd Friday that I am sharing with you….”Some of my Favorite Things” Please click here and here to see the previous posts I did!
The 1st 2 were of Stampin’ Up! products that I feel are a “must have” and they were all under $10.00! Today’s post will showcase products more “must have’s” but the price point is going up to $30.00!
I still have not included stamps…punches and framelits etc….but there will always be another Friday so please continue to pop back! These are in no particular order…they are just goodies that I simply think are a necessity to have to make our “habit easier and run smoother”
I still swear by this…(It’s like having that “little back dress in your closet”)
“If you have the right tools…you will be happy….as having the right tools to do the job makes the whole process go soooo much smoother”
Let’s get going…please feel free to leave me a message and let me know if you agree with my choices today! You all are my best form of advertising and I thank you for being so loyal!
- Envelope Punch Board (page 194) – I simply cannot believe that this gem is just $19.95 – a MUST have so you can make any size of envelope you want! This makes a great and affordable gift…and just think how someone would adore this!
2. Simply Scored Scoring Tool – (page 214) – I always use this for 3 D projects and when making "DEEP" scores on my card fronts!
3. Color Coach (page 172) – The perfect tool when you need inspiration and/or haveing a mental block on what colors to put together! I use it weekly – love it!
4. Heat Tool (page 213) – The notes below say it all – wow what a difference!
5. – DSP Paper Stacks (page 180+) You know how I feel about these…this is exactly why I offered a paper swatch for these… I use them ALL THE TIME and are PERFECT for lining envelopes….1 sheet will line 8 envelopes!!!! The best thing is that they come in ALL color families!
6. Clear Block Storage (page 234) – Being organized make your life easier! "I rest my case"
7. Stampin Scrub (page 235) – Love…love ….LOVE – I must have. Our stamps work sooo hard for use – we need to take care of them!
8. Stamp-a-ma-jig – (page 235) – I know that this is always a "Love/Hate" relationship with this tool…but I LOVE it and I stand behind it…please email me if you need help with it!
9. Craft Scissors – (page 215) The best indulgence I did for myself!
10. Stampin Trimmer (page 216) – A no brainer….just make sure that you buy extra blades as you will use this ALL THE TIME! Wouldn't make a card without it!
Well…that's it!!! How did you like my picks – do you agree????
I just love how SU makes it so easy to be creative with such simple and useful tools…..and the BEST thing is that you can shop right from your home…in your jammies!
Have a fabulous holiday and thanks for spending a part of you day with me! Until tomorrow….it is Simple Saturday and you will be smiling!
I agree 100% with your choices. The only item I don’t have is the block case!
I definitely agree with your choices as well. I have a couple that I have on my wish list. Have a wonderful 4th of July as well.
Still working on making the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig my friend!! lol. Used it for the first time last weekend.
Many of the items on this list are things I don’t have. I have and use a Stamp-a-majig, though it isn’t from Stampin’ Up, so it is bright green. I have a Stampin’Scrub, which I use but don’t wash out frequently enough. I have three heat tools in the U.S., two of which are SU, and I have an SU one here, but all of them are the previous style with only one setting. Since I don’t have two settings, I do not yet know what I’m missing. My score board is the same size as the SU one, but it is a different brand. Nice thing is, the accessory boards will fit on it.
I hope you had a nice 4th of July!
I hope, too, to get to meet you soon!
Cyberhugs!!!
