My Craft Essentials
This little handheld vacuum is perfect for quick cleanups—embossing powder, paper bits (can you say dimensional backings?), and anything else that ends up on the craft table (or the floor!). Lightweight, cordless, and surprisingly powerful—mine earns its keep.
This handy stamping tool saves your wrists while giving you crisp, even stamped images every time. No more pushing too hard or getting uneven pressure! It comes in a set of two - perfect for keeping one in your craft space and one in your on-the-go bag.
I cut these 12" x 12" sheets down to approximately 4" x 5.25" and place one on top of embellished cards before sliding them into the envelope. It protects the envelope and card from tearing during mailing—especially when rhinestones or raised layers are involved. Handy to keep on hand and store with your envelopes. Buy one package and share with all your crafty friends!
This eraser removes pencil marks cleanly - no tearing, no smearing, and no gray residue left behind. A simple tool that works like a charm.
Made a tiny ink smudge? This eraser gently buffs away small spots and saves your nearly-perfect projects. A must-have for clean and simple card makers.
When you're crafting away from home, sticky messes can sneak up on you. This pen-style Goo Gone is perfect for tossing in your craft bag so you're always ready to gently clean up adhesive smudges or sticky residue - without the bulk of the full-size bottle.
One of my best-kept secrets - this tape holds layers together while I work, then peels off without a trace. Great for positioning multiple pieces, adding adhesive to the back, then placing it all at once. Game changer!
This removable tape is my secret weapon for keeping dies exactly where I want them. It also holds layers in place while you're fiddling with design or placement - clean, simple and a must-have in any craft kit.
Crooked layers? Sneaky glue seepage? These slim plastic scrapers help you gently lift and realign paper without tearing your project. I keep one at home, one in my travel kit, and share the extras with crafty friends.
Add a little bounce to your cards! These self-adhesive springs bring critters and sentiments to life with fun, interactive movement. Kids (and grown-ups) love the surprise.
My Office Helpers
This is the first planner in years that actually works for me - and I've tried almost all of them! I use the academic year version because it aligns with my grandchildren's school schedules, but it's also available in a calendar year version.
My little OCD heart loves this thing! I use it to label stamps, dies, punches, paper sleeves - everything! Bonus: you can save label formats for consistency across all your supplies and use any font available on your computer!
This compatible tape works beautifully with my Brother Label Maker. It's a fraction of the cost of the brand-name tapes, with no issues at all. I use the 0.47" and 0.70" widths most often.
This little handheld vacuum is perfect for quick cleanups—embossing powder, paper bits (can you say dimensional backings?), and anything else that ends up on the craft table (or the floor!). Lightweight, cordless, and surprisingly powerful—mine earns its keep.
No more guessing (or standing in line at the post office). I use this scale to check if my cards need extra postage - and for mailing catalogs and heavier envelopes. It's accurate, easy to use, and saves me so much time.
Upgrade your rolling chair with these smooth-gliding wheels. They're quiet, sturdy, and don't leave marks - even on hardwood or tile. I replaced mine years ago and never looked back.
Sticky scissors? Goo Gone to the rescue! I use this to remove adhesive build-up from my scissors and blocks. It keeps everything clean and functioning like new.
My Creative Space Organization
These elegant baskets are made to fit the IKEA Kallax cubes - but with a classic, finished look that adds style to your space. A little more expensive than basic bins, but worth it for the charm they bring to a craft room or office.
These DVD-sized storage bags are perfect for organizing your stamp cases at home or packing them for on-the-go crafting. They fit Stampin' Up! style cases like a charm and keep everything tidy and protected.
I use these 7" x 9.8" envelopes to store complete Paper Pumpkin kits (minus the ink spot). The velcro closure keeps everything secure, easy to see, and tucked into one space-saving sleeve. Also available in 10-pack and 40-pack sizes so you can choose the best value for your needs.
These albums are meant for photos, but I use them to store embellishments - rhinestones, gems, pearls - you name it! When I can see what I have, I use them more. Get the multi-pack and split with a friend!
