SCS Product Review : Kreate-A-Lope!

Hello and welcome back to my quiet blog! Today I have another Splitcoast Stampers Product Review. Today the SCS PR Team and I are reviewing the Kreate-A-Lope envelope templates. They are simply Amazing! I used to buy my envelopes thinking that handmade wouldn't be as sturdy or fit my cards, but these templates changed my mind! You can find my review and the rest of the SCS Team's: HERE!

Here are two of my envelopes....

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you check out all the product reviews on SCS for these amazing Kreate-A-Lope envelope templates!! :)

Have a great day ~ Amanda

Splitcoast Stampers : Z Becky Brown

Today I have a neat product to share with all of you. All of us on the Splitcoast Stampers Product Review team were given a Z Becky Brown purse and asked to create something that speaks to us and have fun with it. I certainly had fun and my mind raced all over with what I could do and where I could go with my ideas. I've always wanted a pretty box to put my precious travel postcards in one spot. So I came up with an idea of using it to hold my postcards and add a picture of an activity or family group shot on the back of it, so I can remember it better. I copied my pictures out in black & white onto vellum so it would have a slight vintage look. Under each picture I plan on writing the date and location of each of our travels and keep it in the box to page through any time I want.

If you want to know what I thought of the Z Becky Brown Purse, please visit the SCS Product Review page HERE.

Here is a finished picture of what my box looks like.

And this is the top of the box. I kept everything simple and elegant. I kept the purse box clear without any liners, so you could see the pretty postcards.

Thank you for visiting and head on over to SCS and see what everyone else has created with their Z Becky Brown Purses!!

Splitcoast Product Review: Crafters Companion Embossalicious Folders!

Good morning crafting friends!

Did you know that Splitcoast Stampers has a wonderful thing called a product review? They have a newsletter that they send out a couple times a month and in it they have a link to a product they are reviewing! You can find the Product Review homepage HERE, to find this review and past product reviews!

This month we are reviewing Crafters Companion's Embossalicious Embossing Folders! I received the 6x6 embossing plates size and with them, I created this card.

Product Review: Clearsnap Inks

Good morning and welcome to another Splitcoast Product Review link! The team and I reviewed Clearsnap Inks and Mini Craft ink bottles HERE. I made a couple cards with these inks and really loved how juicy the pad was and the vibrancy of the inks!

Here is one of the cards I made to show off the vibrant inks and versatility of them.

I sponged ink on coffee filters that I diecut out, and created leaves and a flower by sponging some ink on them. The Product Review Team has many other examples for you to see and you can read all about it HERE!

Thank you for visiting and be sure to check out the hot link to our Clearsnap Ink review! :)

Hello Friends, it's time for another Splicoast Stampers Product Review. Today is all about the newest Spellbinders that have been released and they are Gorgeous! How can you not love these? I mean, don't we all use Spellbinders at one time or another? :)

Here is just a taste of one of the cards I made with Spellbinders newest 5x7 die sets.

This has to be one of my all time favorite products to review! As you can tell, I loved them. If you want to see my review with the rest of the team, and all of our card samples, please visit Splitcoast Stampers HERE!

Splitcoaststampers Product Review: Xyron

I've had a love/hate affair with adhesives since I started scrapping. The very first adhesive I bought was from Walmart, from a company called Vario. It was so expensive ($8 a refill), and it wouldn't even stick properly to my cards when it got hot out. Then Walmart decided to get rid of their scrapbooking sections, so I couldn't get it anyway. Ugh. I got fed up and started what seemed like an endless adhesive search. And I just about gave up when the ladies at Splitcoast Stampers decided to review the Xyron Permanent Glue Stick and Xyron Mini Sticker Maker. I gave it a try and I am giving my full review on the SCS Product Forum: HERE.

Splitcoast Stampers Product Review!

Good morning everyone! I'm back with a different post :) If you remember I was asked by Beate, from Splitcoast Stampers (SCS), to be on the Product Review Team this year, and I'm back with two reviews. I receive the products, use them for my cards and crafts, then post an honest review of them. Included in the link to SCS, you can click on a link to all of the team's product samples, to see everything in action :)

The first one was posted today about my experience with the Perfect Squares tool. I can't get my cards even at all no matter what I do, especially when I score and fold my card bases in half, so this tool really revolutionized my cards. And my very favorite part of the whole tool, is that it fits perfectly in a small scrap tote when I want to take very little to s crop! If you want to read more about my product review and the rest of the teams, please visit: SCS Product Review 
Here is the Perfect Squares Galley of Samples: HERE

I also did another review on Spellbinders Matting Basics Card Creators dies. Personally any dies that Spellbinders creates is going to be wonderful, but these dies are over and above Perfect for any cards. They are essentially the base of any card that you would make in the A2 range. These dies are Amazing! To read more about my thoughts and the rest of the SCS Team, please visit: SCS Product Review.

Thank you for visiting and I hope that I have inspired you to try out a new product tool for your crafting arsenal :)
