Lucky Loot
It's been a while since I blogged about the fabulous British papercraft magazines that I load up on every time I visit Chapters. The loot that a whole bunch of Christmas issues came with was crazy! Even more impressive was that the Christmas issues were on shelves before Christmas. One issue of Papercraft Inspirations came with a wafer thin metal die. Super cool, but the little pieces do get stuck in the die pretty easily.
The goodies below are from Crafts Beautiful are hilariously awesome. I'm ready to try paper quilling with the strips, tool and shape board. PaperCrafter one upped them with a giant card making kit that included fold up birdhouses and bling. The magazines are always a little pricier, but I think it's well worth it, especially if I didn't want to invest too much in a new technique beforehand.

Very cool Christine... love the ornament die!
ReplyDeleteI am loving my big shot... but need to collect more dies. I just picked up a pack of circle dies on boxing day. They will come in handy!
Thanks again for all site recommendations Pam. I have a lot to keep me busy! Sometimes the most basic shapes are the most creative.

ReplyDeleteThanks hun! I have made a few paper quilling pieces. I'll see what happens when I really get the hang of it :-) Best wishes for the new year too!
