Hi everyone! A few things: - I said "avery elle" instead of "avery" for the removable adhesive sheets. Sorry! Sigh. :( - Would love to hear YOUR favorite crafty tools!
Jennifer McGuire Ink i really urge you to try out the new scrapbook.com domed blending foam, it fits on the tim holtz handles & gives a noticeably smoother blend. I think both have their place in the craft room.
I wouldn't have noticed that if I hadn't read this first. And, why not...you talk about Avery Elle all the time...it's a natural thing to do. But, I might have to find some of those Avery removable sheets. I like all of the tools you covered, but I think the Teflon Bone Folder is my favorite. It does a great job of scoring all types of card stock, but what I like best is that it doesn't leave a "shine" on your paper when you use to to press down the fold.
A tool that I could not be without in my craft room is a pair of cross lock tweezers, for holding onto things like pieces of paper whilst melting embossing powder. It allows you to hold it without losing grip of the paper, or having your hand cramp up if you hold it too long.
My husband, as do I, thinks the stamping platforms are THE most clever stamping tools ever made. I like my Teflon bone folder, too. Sharp scissors are a must. I've built up an arsenal of really good sharp instruments over the years.
My husband bought the hand vac for me for Christmas. How did I manage all my years without it? It is powerful enough to pickup dog (Shetland Sheepdog) hair like a dream. The ability to disassemble it and wash it with water gives it a gold medal in my book. Bonus: It is quiet enough that it doesn't scare my dogs and they LOVE when I vacuum their shedding hair right off of them. This is your best ever Favorite Items!!!!!
🎄 TY Jennifer...you're the BEST!!! Merry Christmas!!! 🎄 One thing I use that I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about is just a wet wash cloth to clean my stamps. It is good for dye and pigment ink on rubber and acrylic stamps, and removes all the ink effortlessly. I have used this method for about 30 years and wouldn't change. Stamp cleaner for dye and pigment is such an expense and is very unnecessary. And they're washable!!! 💕
I agree whole-heartedly Barb! Jennifer you are simply the best! Your videos are well organized and well scripted. You really know exactly what to say and you say it in the right amount time. I love the thought and organization that goes into all of your videos, the time spent watching them is time well spent instead of wasted time. That is a rare gift! Thank you!
Love your yearly crafty things informative videos. Had to laugh this time with the tools that I have most of what you use. I really believe you can always do a better job when you have good tools to get the job done. So thank you Jennifer for the crazy amount of time I’m sure it takes to produce even one of these videos. I have to also add that I’m so grateful you don’t use a lot of “ahs” and such as you speak. To cover so much information your enunciation makes you so easy to listen to !!!
Jennifer, that hand vac is the greatest addition to my craft room! I love it so much that I bought one for my husband and many of my friends and family! It’s the best!
Wow! I'm not a card maker, so I haven't watched your technique videos, but I'm loving this Favorites on tools. Some of them I have, but you've introduced me to quite a few more that I would appreciate using, as well. Thank you so much for saving me the time and expense of going through my own process of trial and error. You are a wonderful teacher!
😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯 The Press n Seal trick!!!!! That is so simple and obvious, yet purely genius!! Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge in all your videos. You are a wealth of information.🤗🥰🤗🥰 And give your hubby a big kiss from your followers for inventing Press n Seal. 💋
For a change....I actually already have many of these items....which means I don't have to go out and buy them! Thanks for doing these videos for us. They are a big help in getting good products.
I'm so glad to see these yearly updated tools.I also love how you explain your reasons.Thank you so much Jennifer for all you do and teach me.Have a Blessed, Happy Holiday for you and your beautiful family.
Thank you for all the thought and time you’ve put into ALL of your videos! Isn’t it exciting to think where this industry will go in the next decade?!?!
I learn so much from your videos and watched this one twice. Thank you for putting so much thought into this one as tools can quickly eat up your budget.
I have the majority of the tools you've mentioned and love them all! The pen blades are the only ones I don't care for but I believe that's because of how I hold them...I tend to push the release button as I'm cutting with it. Oops! They are very sharp though and are so nice to use when I manage to keep the blade out. Thanks for sharing!!
Your hubs invented Glad Press' Seal?? Wow! I use that every single day to cover the ceramic plates I use as palettes for watercolor! It not only keeps the paint from drying out so quickly, but saves it from kitty hair. I've shared that tip with my watercolor class and now they use it too. Thanks for this tip series, it's always appreciated, and thank your hubby for creating such a handy and multi-use product! May God bless you this Christmas and the coming years! 🎨💜
I am very proud of myself. I didn’t stop the video once to go buy something. With that said I do have quite a few of them because of prior videos. My favorite must have tools are my scoring board and my Teflon bone folder. My other bone folders scored and creased my card stock great but what I didn’t like is that it would leave a sheen on the card stock when I would reinforce the crease. Most people would probably not even noticed but it drove me nuts! Thanks for sharing your favorite crafty things. I have found them very informative and I look forward to them each year.
Great tools, Jennifer. Thanks for the review! Also, please tell your husband THANKS for inventing Press n Seal! Great product for the kitchen and scrap room!
Thank you so much for this video ... It is fantastic ... Love how you show all the products in detaill... There are so many tools on here that I never heard of and now I need them ... Thank you thank you ❤️💖💖♥️
I always look at those pretty sparkly scissors when I see them at joanns and always convince myself that I dont need them even though fiskars is always awesome. But I think I have been convinced that I need new scissors now. Lol
I bought the creative detailer tool, and I found that it didn't do much in terms of erasing inky mistakes, so I took a small slice of my mono sand eraser and cut that down into a square shape that fit into the creative detailer tool. It works great!
I’ve never committed I have to say I find your videos to be so informative, your voice is so soothing that the video goes by so fast. Thank you so much for all the work you put into making these videos. Have a great 2020. God bless you.
I always love your videos I've learned alot about card making from you thank you for all you do for crafters and charities God bless you and your family have a wonderful Christmas and a safe new year
I’ve used several jewel pickers but my favorite by far is the crystal katana tool, the two ends are great & i used a hobby lobby coupon to save money, its in the jewelry section next to those magical triangle rhinestone trays
If the Jewel Picker is the slender one with the fine and medium tips, I like it best of all. I haven't had time to watch this whole video yet, but am watching it in sections, so I'll see what you mean. My Katana was put together in a shoddy manner and not worth the huge price and the place where I got it wasn't interested in replacing it. I don't need bling on my tools. What I look for is how well it works and is put together.
Thank you so much for this and all of these series. It seems like i always try new products from these videos. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!
love these crafty videos. My list of possible purchases is growing and this time I have to say I have quite a few of your suggestions already. Thank you for all of the videos you do that help us and inspire us.
The triangle trays were originally for beads so you can get them in the jewelry aisle of big box stores or at local jewelry stores. Just in case you only want them and don’t want to pay for shipping from a Boutique store. Tho I highly recommend studio Katia.
Thank you soooo much for sharing your crafty tools. The fortunate things is I have most of these and now will add more to my collection. Have the Merriest of Christmas!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to my favorite crafter. Your video's are always helpful no matter if you are a beginner or advanced card maker. Thanks so much for all you do for us and the charities you support.
I do love my Fiskars blue and silver paper trimmer. It goes everywhere with me. I just love tools in general, in the craft room and in the kitchen. I have to get that laminator...
Hello Jennifer! Thank you for another Crafty things video. Love all your favorite things and the press and seal tip. Will save me lots of time. 👍 Happy Crafting 😃 Merry Christmas to you and your family. Happy New Year.
Thanks for all your hard work and thoroughly clear instructions. The sad part about viewing this video is that I have about 80% of the tools you are recommending and I'm just an occasional crafter.
Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for this video. You addressed and answered so many questions that I had about tools. I can’t wait for the laminator video. I really appreciate your concise and well-spoken presentations. I look forward to your posts. Merry Christmas! ❄️❄️❄️
Hi Jennifer. Thanks so much for sharing your favorite tools. The tools video is always my favorite and I have many of the items because of your recommendations. I love the Tim Holts trimmer for cutting through pieces with glimmer paste. My fine Fiskars blade never cut those well. I also love the hand held vacuum. It’s not only good in the craft room but great for getting stray dog and cat hairs when you need to do a quick clean. Thanks again and Merry Christmas!
Love watching your videos. Your voice is so calming. With all due respect, I couldn’t justify spending double the price for a MISTI. The features and quality seems half the product of competing platforms. I also noticed others taping a flap on the cover to open and shut it. I’m not understanding why it’s priced so high considering.
Thank you once again for your informative videos. And thanks to hubby for Press & Seal. It was magic when arranging the little packages and tiny tree in Santa's sleigh on my Christmas cards!! I managed to keep all my hair, instead of pulling it out as I assembled them. LOL Merry Christmas to you and your family. Huggssss
Thanks for the reminder about some of these tools that I've been wanting to get namely the Lawn Fawn ruler and Creative Detailer Tool. I also appreciate the reminder about using the Press 'n' Seal to preserve a layout until it can get glued down. Thanks so much for this wonderful series.! Wishing you and your family a blessed Christmas and the happiest of New Years.
You can also get yellow microfiber cloths at Home Depot. My daughter uses them in her house cleaning business. It's a large package, so you may want to share with someone.
Jennifer you always inspire me!!!! Long videos give lots of info, at least yours. Not everyone's. LOL Keep on Keeping on. The happiest of holiday wishes to you and yours
I've been enjoying each and everyone of your yearly videos! This year I am in need of a paper trimmer and your suggestions fit my budget nicely. :) I appreciate all you do and want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a lovely New Year!
It’s worth noting that one side of the grid transparency sheet has the lines stamped on it, and if you put your stamp on that side, the lines will come off. I wish that Simon Says Stamp had indicated that, and told us which side to use.
Jennifer McGuire Ink cleaning the grid? Funny. The only reason I did was cause I smeared it with peanut butter!!! I’ll have to google how to make a grid myself as I use that thing all the time! Have a good evening you hard working gal!!
Awesome video . A few years ago you did an Instagram story on how you have your paper cut at Kinkos. Would you consider doing it on YT so we could refer back to it? Have a very Merry Christmas 🎄
Hello Jennifer, I really enjoy your videos because you explain things so well. I think I wold like to get the Therm O Web Stencil Pal is a really simple tool but does an excellent job. Merry Christmas to all!
I just wish I had found your videos earlier - some things I bought initially were the less expensive ones - only to find they didn’t work as well and I was better off listening to your recommendations and getting those!
Well, that's not really a tool, but I use laminating pouches to create my masks (they don't stick as well as masking paper of course, but they last forever). Thank you, Jennifer, for your inspirational videos!
Thanks Jennifer, I really love your videos but each year these series are my favourite. More than any series on Netflix or TV. thanks a lot a have the majority of the tools thanks your recommendations over the years. The thing that I need to replace is the jewellers picker, to return the stickiness to the tips I washed them under running tap hot water 😬🤪 very bad idea at the end it lost both tips 🙈
Jennifer, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, you’re truly an angel to the card making and crafting world, your videos and inspiration are priceless and have help me in every way in my crafting and card making. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous New Year! ❤️
Artsncrafts By Damaris I originally purchased the big honking size Misti. It had a faulty hinge on it so when I returned it I got the original size and have been very happy with it
First I want to say thank you for taking the time and effort to make these fantastic informative videos! I always enjoy them. But I get sad when I see you only recommend the Misti as a positionable stamping tool. It is as you say, very expensive. The Tim Holtz stamping platform is excellent and you can get it for less than half the price of a Misti. That alone would recommend the Tim Holtz tool rather than the Misti. And there are other great inexpensive stamping platforms too. I use the Tim Holtz platform and it is excellent! Another tip of ra tool to use to get rid of stains is the Faber Castell Eraser stick, it is shaped like a pencil, but instead of a lead there is a kind of stiff eraser one can shape into a very pointy end and erase with, it even works for watercolor on (dry!!) watercolor paper and I use it all the time when stamping since I am very clumsy and get inksplotches all over!
MISTI is my favorite, that is why I included it :) I have used it from the beginning, and it works wonderfully for me. Not sure the platform can be sold in the US? But I am SO glad you like what you have! This video is about me sharing what I find best for me :)
Thank you for showing how to use the stamp positioner tool. Someone gave me one but I never really understood how to use it. I eventually got the Misti also but even that gives me problems sometimes. I can't always get an even result with it. It's like I need an extra piece of foam under my paper for the whole image to stamp clearly.
i was using a bar magnet I bought from Amazon with my Misti-type stamping tool and having a terrible problem. At a crop somebody pointed out that that bar magnet is too thick and prevents the stamp from contacting the paper. Maybe that's your problem?
I actually got my first MISTI from you! I was so thrilled and it changed my card making ! I now have 2 regular and one mini. I’ve watched your videos for some time, and I’ve learned so much! I’ve got most of the tools on this video🤗 but I will say the best tool is having YOU and your videos! Have a BLessed and Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!♥️
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make your Crafty Things videos. I look forward to checking out your favorites which often become my favorites. By far my favorite is the Press and Seal.....several years ago broke my wrist and fractured my knee cap....worked wonders at covering all of that and allowing me to shower. Please pass my thanks on to your husband for inventing it. Hope ya'll have a very Merry and safe Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for all you do. Oops forgot a question. On the Misti Mouse Pad does it replace the foam pad that comes with the Misit? Thanks.
Your husband invented Press 'n Seal? Give him a great big thanks from me. I used it after my knee repacement, to cover my incision so I could shower. Then when I broke my wrist I used it to cover that so I coukd shower! It is magical stuff!

Hi everyone!
A few things:
- I said "avery elle" instead of "avery" for the removable adhesive sheets. Sorry! Sigh. :(
- Would love to hear YOUR favorite crafty tools!
Jennifer McGuire Ink i really urge you to try out the new scrapbook.com domed blending foam, it fits on the tim holtz handles & gives a noticeably smoother blend. I think both have their place in the craft room.
Avery Elle has such a nice ring to it :)
I wouldn't have noticed that if I hadn't read this first. And, why not...you talk about Avery Elle all the time...it's a natural thing to do. But, I might have to find some of those Avery removable sheets.
I like all of the tools you covered, but I think the Teflon Bone Folder is my favorite. It does a great job of scoring all types of card stock, but what I like best is that it doesn't leave a "shine" on your paper when you use to to press down the fold.

thank you sooooo much! hugs!
Amen, Barb P. Jennifer, you are friendly and there is real warmth in your voice. You teach well and I've liked you from the start. :D

That's so cool that your hubby invented the press n seal!
😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯😯
The Press n Seal trick!!!!!
That is so simple and obvious, yet purely genius!!
Thank you for being so generous with your knowledge in all your videos.
You are a wealth of information.🤗🥰🤗🥰

Thank you Jennifer for your Favorite Crafty videos, I always enjoy watching them and get my craft list made. Have a wonderful Holiday Season! Rita
Thank you for doing this series every year. I've found so many "toys" with your guidance. Merry Christmas!
Over the years I’ve purchased several of these items based on your recommendations. You’ve never lead me astray. ❤️
I own two of the white mats. They are the greatest to glue on. The glue rubs right of so easy.
Thank you Jennifer for posting all these videos for our education and entertainment. I love them!
I'm so glad to see these yearly updated tools.I also love how you explain your reasons.Thank you so much Jennifer for all you do and teach me.Have a Blessed, Happy Holiday for you and your beautiful family.
Thanks for the info about the scissors. I keep buying scissors, but those serrated blades on my Tim Holtz scissors make me crazy. 😀💙💙💙
Press and seal, love it, your husband is my hero
Thank you for all the thought and time you’ve put into ALL of your videos! Isn’t it exciting to think where this industry will go in the next decade?!?!
I learn so much from your videos and watched this one twice. Thank you for putting so much thought into this one as tools can quickly eat up your budget.
I have the majority of the tools you've mentioned and love them all! The pen blades are the only ones I don't care for but I believe that's because of how I hold them...I tend to push the release button as I'm cutting with it. Oops! They are very sharp though and are so nice to use when I manage to keep the blade out. Thanks for sharing!!
Your hubs invented Glad Press' Seal?? Wow! I use that every single day to cover the ceramic plates I use as palettes for watercolor! It not only keeps the paint from drying out so quickly, but saves it from kitty hair. I've shared that tip with my watercolor class and now they use it too. Thanks for this tip series, it's always appreciated, and thank your hubby for creating such a handy and multi-use product! May God bless you this Christmas and the coming years! 🎨💜
I am very proud of myself. I didn’t stop the video once to go buy something. With that said I do have quite a few of them because of prior videos. My favorite must have tools are my scoring board and my Teflon bone folder.

These videos are always my favorites of the year! Thank you for all of your hard work to create them. 💜
This is just chocked full of great ideas! Thanks so much.
Thank you for all the work and time that goes into these videos and blog!
Great tools, Jennifer. Thanks for the review! Also, please tell your husband THANKS for inventing Press n Seal! Great product for the kitchen and scrap room!
Thank you so much for this video ... It is fantastic ... Love how you show all the products in detaill... There are so many tools on here that I never heard of and now I need them ... Thank you thank you ❤️💖💖♥️
One of the best instructional videos I have seen you were well prepared with a lot of information.
I always look at those pretty sparkly scissors when I see them at joanns and always convince myself that I dont need them even though fiskars is always awesome. But I think I have been convinced that I need new scissors now. Lol
Always helpful to watch this series. Thanks so much for taking the time and effort to share excellence with others.
I bought the creative detailer tool, and I found that it didn't do much in terms of erasing inky mistakes, so I took a small slice of my mono sand eraser and cut that down into a square shape that fit into the creative detailer tool. It works great!

I found that a fine painting brush helps me remove stray embossing power before heat setting.

Tell hubby thanks for inventing Press n seal - I haven’t used it yet in the craft room but in the kitchen it’s indispensable. Great video
thank you Jennifer just wanted to wish you and yours a very merry Christmas and a happy and New Year God Bless
I love watching your tools videos. It's the mossy helpful I think
Hello Jennifer!
Thank you for another Crafty things video.
Love all your favorite things and the press and seal tip.
Will save me lots of time. 👍
Happy Crafting 😃
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Happy New Year.
Thank you so much for these tips. I learn so much from you & I really appreciate your explanations.
Thankyou Jennifer, is always good to see what is recommended, so helpful. Plenty to think on !
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Jennifer! I have enjoyed watching and learning from your videos all year-long! You are outstanding!
Thanks for all your hard work and thoroughly clear instructions. The sad part about viewing this video is that I have about 80% of the tools you are recommending and I'm just an occasional crafter.
Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for this video. You addressed and answered so many questions that I had about tools. I can’t wait for the laminator video.

Honestly, I have no idea about the cost. But it works really well for me, so it is worth it. I am glad you found something you love. :)
I just LOVE this series every year. Thank you for all the hard work you put into it yet again this year! Have a blessed Christmas.
This is SO helpful! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise! I'm a huge fan.
A lot of great tools! Thank you for sharing!🤗👍😀💜💙💚
Thank you once again for your informative videos. And thanks to hubby for Press & Seal. It was magic when arranging the little packages and tiny tree in Santa's sleigh on my Christmas cards!! I managed to keep all my hair, instead of pulling it out as I assembled them. LOL Merry Christmas to you and your family. Huggssss

Another great video. I really need those Haberdashery scissors.
Thanks for the video. Learned a few things.
You can also get yellow microfiber cloths at Home Depot. My daughter uses them in her house cleaning business. It's a large package, so you may want to share with someone.
Jennifer you always inspire me!!!! Long videos give lots of info, at least yours. Not everyone's. LOL Keep on Keeping on. The happiest of holiday wishes to you and yours
I've been enjoying each and everyone of your yearly videos! This year I am in need of a paper trimmer and your suggestions fit my budget nicely. :) I appreciate all you do and want to wish you a Merry Christmas and a lovely New Year!
It’s worth noting that one side of the grid transparency sheet has the lines stamped on it, and if you put your stamp on that side, the lines will come off. I wish that Simon Says Stamp had indicated that, and told us which side to use.
interesting! i have never had a problem.
I found that my grid is almost worn off because of the cleaner maybe. I wish it was more durable for the $5 they charge for that tiny bit of plastic.
you can also create your own! :) clearly, i don't clean mine :)
Jennifer McGuire Ink cleaning the grid? Funny. The only reason I did was cause I smeared it with peanut butter!!! I’ll have to google how to make a grid myself as I use that thing all the time!
Have a good evening you hard working gal!!
@@jennifermcguireink LOL!!!!
Excellent tip for use of the Press and Seal. I really enjoyed your video.
Awesome video . A few years ago you did an Instagram story on how you have your paper cut at Kinkos. Would you consider doing it on YT so we could refer back to it?
Have a very Merry Christmas 🎄
i have shot the video but questioned if it was worth sharing. but i will in the new year
@@jennifermcguireink I agree. I would like to see that, too.
I would like to see that too
Yes, i would love to see that also...Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year
Yes! I would love to see that again. I have gone back to try and find the Instagram story a couple different times..no luck:(
Thanks for this series I looove them each year!!! You rock!!! Are you going to creativation 2020? All the blessings to you and your lovely family!!!😊
Thank you for your videos , i love to watch them. I like the Tim Holz siccors👍🏻🇳🇱
The misti is worth every penny
Thanks for the great tips..Happy New Year..!! :)
Thank you so much for this i learned a lot!! Great tips and products!
Hello Jennifer, I really enjoy your videos because you explain things so well. I think I wold like to get the Therm O Web Stencil Pal is a really simple tool but does an excellent job.
Merry Christmas to all!
I just wish I had found your videos earlier - some things I bought initially were the less expensive ones - only to find they didn’t work as well and I was better off listening to your recommendations and getting those!
Thanks for all the amazing tips and shares!
Absolutely Love all your informative inspirational videos
Well, that's not really a tool, but I use laminating pouches to create my masks (they don't stick as well as masking paper of course, but they last forever). Thank you, Jennifer, for your inspirational videos!
Thanks Jennifer, I really love your videos but each year these series are my favourite. More than any series on Netflix or TV. thanks a lot a have the majority of the tools thanks your recommendations over the years. The thing that I need to replace is the jewellers picker, to return the stickiness to the tips I washed them under running tap hot water 😬🤪 very bad idea at the end it lost both tips 🙈
Jennifer, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart, you’re truly an angel to the card making and crafting world, your videos and inspiration are priceless and have help me in every way in my crafting and card making. Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and a healthy, prosperous New Year! ❤️
I should've waited for the Tim Holz left-handed platform, darn it. I may buy the travel size.
I have the mini Misti but hardly ever use it, I think I’ll give the bigger size more use, now in my craft shopping list 😊😊
I have a mini Misti and much prefer the original one. The mini is too small for me.
Artsncrafts By Damaris I originally purchased the big honking size Misti. It had a faulty hinge on it so when I returned it I got the original size and have been very happy with it
First I want to say thank you for taking the time and effort to make these fantastic informative videos! I always enjoy them. But I get sad when I see you only recommend the Misti as a positionable stamping tool. It is as you say, very expensive. The Tim Holtz stamping platform is excellent and you can get it for less than half the price of a Misti. That alone would recommend the Tim Holtz tool rather than the Misti. And there are other great inexpensive stamping platforms too. I use the Tim Holtz platform and it is excellent!
Another tip of ra tool to use to get rid of stains is the Faber Castell Eraser stick, it is shaped like a pencil, but instead of a lead there is a kind of stiff eraser one can shape into a very pointy end and erase with, it even works for watercolor on (dry!!) watercolor paper and I use it all the time when stamping since I am very clumsy and get inksplotches all over!
MISTI is my favorite, that is why I included it :) I have used it from the beginning, and it works wonderfully for me. Not sure the platform can be sold in the US? But I am SO glad you like what you have! This video is about me sharing what I find best for me :)
Thank you for showing how to use the stamp positioner tool. Someone gave me one but I never really understood how to use it. I eventually got the Misti also but even that gives me problems sometimes. I can't always get an even result with it. It's like I need an extra piece of foam under my paper for the whole image to stamp clearly.
i was using a bar magnet I bought from Amazon with my Misti-type stamping tool and having a terrible problem. At a crop somebody pointed out that that bar magnet is too thick and prevents the stamp from contacting the paper. Maybe that's your problem?
It seems like a lot of MISTI users do use foam to get a good impression. I think it depends on the kind of stamps being used.
Because of arthritis, I had quit stamping until the MIsti.
I actually got my first MISTI from you! I was so thrilled and it changed my card making ! I now have 2 regular and one mini. I’ve watched your videos for some time, and I’ve learned so much! I’ve got most of the tools on this video🤗 but I will say the best tool is having YOU and your videos! Have a BLessed and Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!♥️
Thank you so much for this informative video.
Your videos are always helpful. Thank you!
Great list of great tools, thanks Jennifer
Wow thanis for the press and seal tip!
Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to make your Crafty Things videos. I look forward to checking out your favorites which often become my favorites. By far my favorite is the Press and Seal.....several years ago broke my wrist and fractured my knee cap....worked wonders at covering all of that and allowing me to shower. Please pass my thanks on to your husband for inventing it. Hope ya'll have a very Merry and safe Christmas and Happy New Year. Thanks for all you do. Oops forgot a question. On the Misti Mouse Pad does it replace the foam pad that comes with the Misit? Thanks.
Great video. Thank you so much for sharing.🤗💞
So much information. Thank you,
Your husband invented Press 'n Seal? Give him a great big thanks from me. I used it after my knee repacement, to cover my incision so I could shower. Then when I broke my wrist I used it to cover that so I coukd shower! It is magical stuff!
Thank you so much Jennifer
