This is just [...]

Staedtler’s Hot Foil Pen

September 28th, 2008 No Comments

I recently reviewed this product at ScrapFriends and had some fun with it! It’s basically a hot-tipped pen that glides along a foil sheet depositing the foil onto the object underneath, usually paper. The product does have merits and you can get better with practice. It’s a great tool to add foil accents to any [...]

3Bugs Color Me Pink

September 16th, 2008 1 Comment

I really like 3Bugs in a Rug - great color combos and paper. A little more embellishment availability would be nice, but it’s not bad with just the paper, monograms and tags. This collection was a recent design team kit from Scrapbook Central. I still have another project or two that I want to complete [...]
