Some Favorite Products

Since I really don't want to bore anyone to death with only baby oriented posts I thought I'd throw together a quick post with a few of my very favorite crafty products.

First of all I'll tell you about a product called Diamond Glaze.  I have been planning my Christmas gifts.  I know, I'm insane.  But I have some awesome projects planned and this glaze is called a dimensional adhesive.  It's an amazing glaze that not only dries hard and solid, but it is thick and when it says it's dimensional it means it doesn't spread out like a normal watery glue, but it stays thickand creates a "glass" over it.  Very cool.  Since I'm not going to give away any clues to what my Christmas projects are, I'll give you a link to another cool way you could use this product. This Glass Tile Pendant or how about pendants like THESE or you could hand paint some coasters or something with a pattern like THIS and then glaze them.  Wouldn't they be fabulous?  Great ideas, I know.  And not one of them is actually what I'm making any of you for Christmas so if you're on my gift list then stop guessing what you're getting.

Another product that I love right now is Stickles. Or would Stickles be the plural form?  Who knows, don't ask me, I only majored in English for a while.. anyhoo, Stickles rock.  They are fantastic for card making, scrapbooking, you name it.  They aren't your average glitter-glue either.  They don't dry incredibly thick or gooey.  They are just perfect.  You can take a regular patterned paper and dot on glitter just where you want it, instantly making it perfectly enhanced.  You can add whilte glitter on a Christmas card to make the snow shine in spots.  You can use Stickles to embellish pine cones and then hang them as ornaments on a tree.

And they come in great colors, too.  I didn't have extensive stickles experience until my secret santa sent me some last year and I've been hooked since.  It's definitely a great addition to my scrap cabinet.






 Another favorite craft product of mine now is Glimmer Mist.  It's not really a glitter but it falls in the same family.  You can use it with your paper crafts and it literally mists on a shiny, faintly glittery sheen.  It's hard to explain but it's really awesome.  When properly applied it can definitely add some great effect.  Think the kind of shine that a dusting of bronzer can give the skin.  It's delicate.  And it's worth the purchase if you're a card maker, for sure.

Well, I've given you my three favorite craft products of the moment.  Add them to your wish list if you happen to love all things crafty!
