Imaginisce i-bond tool


How can a simple Glue gun bring so much Joy??

When Lori Allred from Imaginisce walked into the studio with the new i-bond it was very exciting . . . .
I never realized how much this tool would come in handy. Never again will you have to drag out the 20 foot orange extension cord. It is battery operated, has a cool light, and it's pink . . .what more could you want?

Claudine Hellmuth Studio Creative


Claudine Hellmuth Studio Creative Layers Stamps!
I am so excited to share with you my newest product release. Brought to you by Ranger & Stampers Anonymous, The Studio Creative Layers Collection!

Creative Layers are coordinating sets of clear and foam stamps that I drew and doodled in my little sketch book. I was inspired by one colour illustrations from the 40's and 50's where the colour registration is a little off -- leaving colour outside the lines.
Nothing makes my heart flutter like off-register printing!

The video below features Tim Holtz with Claudine's new Creative Layer designs.

Martha Stewart Punches


Martha Stewart Punches work perfectly with card - even heavy embossed cardstock and most paper weights - but do not work very well with thin paper - the punch does not want to release the paper from the body of the punch. We recommend that when you use them, then use cardstock - and if they are going to be used with fairly thin paper - the paper should be inserted into the punch WITH some cardstock - you will find this stops all the problems of the paper not being released. We hope you find this useful, and would welcome your comments.
