COOL TOOLS

Terrific tools to make your artistic life easier!

3-D Glue Dots--We carry these in packages of 250, and they are only $4.99.  They are acid-free, and I love the way they work!  You just roll the paper (containing the glue dots) on what you'd like to glue, and the dots instantly transfer to that surface.  They stick like a charm, and are so easy to use!  We also have the mini-dots and the pop dots!

Dimensional Magic--Not technically an adhesive, it works like one!  You can use it to adhere papers together.  My favorite use is to apply it to items you want to    make dimensional, like a butterfly's wings, and then flicker some super-fine glitter on top--ooh la la!  A two-ounce bottle of  Dimensional Magic is only $4.99!

Red Tape--The good kind!  Heat embossable, accepts foil, microbeads, papers, and most other things you put on it, and it's entirely acid-free!!  This tape is super for  both stampers and scrappers!  1/2" wide tape--only $3.99.  1/4" wide tape, only $3.49.  1/8" wide tape, only $3.29.  Best prices around for this top-quality product!

Tombow Mono-Aqua Glue--A fat tip and a writing tip make this a very flexible glue.  I use it to glue papers together, and especially for use with  Microbeads.  It makes a lovely dimensional surface for the Microbeads, and they really stick to it, like, well, like glue!  Only $2.99!

A must for every stamper and scrapper!  These Marvy self-healing Cutting Mats are 11" x 17", with grid lines on them to make it easy to size things as YOU like!  Only $19.99 for these terrific mats!

Another cool tool!  We  embossaholics like to put things in our own handwriting, and this is how we do it! You can use them to draw your own freehand designs--always a plus!  In addition, they make it so easy to touch up those places that might not have embossed JUST as you wanted!  Embossing pens are available in two tips--writing (like a pen tip), and calligraphy.  Only $4.99 each, you can probably use them both!

Have you ever wished for something extra to help get those markers off your hands?  Or that pigment ink that's been there too long?  These scrubbing bars are terrific at removing stubborn ink on skin!  I use mine every day!  They are only $5.99!

We carry the wonderful Kaleidacolor pads for $11.99.  Buy 3 or more pads and get them for 20% off!

Spectrum. Pastel, Calypso, Bouquet, Birthstone, Autumn Leaves, Berry Blaze, Caribbean Sea, Melon Medley, Baby Powder, Desert Heat, Blue Breeze, Fresh Greens, Fruitcake, and Luau.

We have not had to re-ink our pads, but we can special order the reinkers for you to use for other projects!  Just tell us what you need.

Brilliance Inks are archival, intensely colored pads with special properties.  They are pigment ink, thus useful for embossing.  They will, however, dry on their own (or with a bit of help from a heat tool if you're in a hurry), even on glossy paper!  The colors we typically carry are Cosmic Copper, Galaxy Gold, Gamma Green, Graphite Black, Lightening Black (a gold color with black overtones) Mediterranean Blue (Deep Blue), Moonlight White,  Pearlescent Beige, Pearlescent Crimson (Eggplant, not Crimson!), Pearlescent Ice Blue, Pearlescent Jade (Light Green), Pearlescent Ice Blue, Pearlescent Lime, Pearlescent Orange, Pearlescent Purple (Light Purple), Pearlescent Sky Blue, Pearlescent Ivy, Pearlescent ellow, Platinum Planet, Rocket Red (Really, Really Red), and Victorian Violet (Deep Purple).  The price for these long-lasting pads is only $7.99, or 2 pads for $15!

Top Boss Clear Embossing Pads ($5.99) and Reinkers ($3.99) are readily available too.  As much as we love embossing, we wouldn't be without this ink.

Krylon Leafing pens are more cool tools you won't want to be without!  They have notches in the tips, so you can go around the edge of a card and make a PERFECT border!  They come in Copper, Silver, and Gold, and they are only $7.99 each, or 3 for $21.

While it is difficult to see in the scan, perhaps clicking on it to look at the larger picture will give you an idea of how neat these are.

These mini-spoons are ideal for  microbeads, mixing your own embossing powders, and who knows what else you could use them for!  They are $1.99 for 20 spoons, and I find them to be quite handy!

Are you like me . . . always looking for a spray bottle?   They can be used to spritz a stamp, or spray water on your scrubby pad, or dampen watercolor paper, or . . . many, many other uses.  These handy little bottles are so affordable that you can get half a dozen!  Only $1.29 for each 4 ounce bottle!

The title should be "stipple brush," singular, as we have found  it to be the best, so it's the only one we stock!  These size 8 (large) stipple brushes are made in Germany, and this is the best brand we've found.  The wood has been painted (I'm guessing it's polyurethane, varnish, or another clear coating), so your ink won't soak into the wood.  It's only $4.99, too!  

I resisted this cool tool for a long time, and once I tried it, I wondered why it took me so long!  It is wonderful for catching all kinds of little things.  Most often I use it for  microbeads, embossing powders, beading, and jewelry making.  I know there must be lots of other great uses for it, too!  Its affordable price of $6.99 makes it a "must have!"
