Die-Cutting Mat Refurbishing Spray

Debbie — Thu, 03 May 2012 14:33:00 GMT

If you own a Cricut or any other machine that uses a sticky mat, then this package of sprays is a must! Replacing the original mats can be costly!

Extend thier life and renew their sticky surface with our refurbishing spray bundle. This bundle includes 1 of our Stick Away adhesive removing sprays and 2 of our Stick & Spray repositionable adhesive sprays. Bundled this way because you'll use about twice as much of the repositionable spray as you will the remover. You'll be renewing your die-cutting mats time and time again with this combination.

What is an EZMount Stamp Set?

Debbie — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 23:11:00 GMT

What is an EZMount Stamp Set?

An EZMount Stamp Set starts with the manufacturing of a deeply etched sheet of pink rubber, molded into the particular stamp design. This sheet is then mounted to a sheet of EZMount Static Cling Cushion and each stamp image is very carefully cut out close to each image. A full color index sheet is printed, laminated and die-cut to transform it into a functional storage panel that fits into our enclosed mini-binders. Each finished stamp piece is placed on the back of the storage panels and packaged into a clear hang bag for protection and/or display.

Once you are ready to use your stamps, simply remove the panels from the clear bag, put your stamp set into a mini-binder (if purchased) and then remove the stamp you wish to use. Mount your EZMount stamp to the appropriate sized acrylic block and you're ready to stamp! When you've finished with the stamp, clean it with a stamp cleaner or mild soap and water, then place it back on the storage panel for storage and future use. You'll never have to replace the EZMount Static Cling Cushion because its guaranteed for life.

New Spectrum Noir Alcohol Pens w/ Video Demo

Debbie — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 01:45:03 GMT

They are here and I am so excited to share our wonderful crafting items with you! In this newsletter I want introduce Spectrum Noir markers. You may have heard of these because they have taken the US by storm. Markers are an investment and it gets expensive to have to replace them every couple years. These will be the last markers you will ever have to buy! These high-quality alcohol markers are refillable and you can change the nibs.

Similar markers retail for $5.00 or more EACH. Spectrum Noir markers sell in 6-color packs for $11.95 (just $1.99 each!) We have all twelve 6-color packs and all four 24-color sets (making up the entire 168-color collection.) We also carry the 36-pen zippered storage bags, replacement nibs, refills, instructional CDs, and Spectrum cardstock.

What makes Spectrum Noir Alcohol Makers so special?

Spectrum Noir is the new alcohol ink based marker pen designed specifically for crafters. Each pen is double-ended, with a broad chisel nib for large area fills and a fine bullet tip for detailed work.

The entire range of 168 alcohol marker colors is available in 16 different sets. There is no duplication of markers in any of them.

The twelve sets of 6 markers make up the core line of colors and are packed in tonally matched color combinations along with an essentials pack that includes true black, a blender and 4 other commonly used colors. The first three markers in each pack (lighter tones) and the remaining three colors (darker tones) were chosen to blend well with each other to take the guesswork out of blending.

The remaining four sets of 24 markers round out the color range and are sold in tonal packs; lights, brights, darks and pastels.

As you take a closer look at the pen caps you will notice a number from 1 through 11. The number 1 represents the lightest shade of that particular color, while a number 11 would represent the darkest shade. Not all colors will have 11 shades, but the most important thing to keep in mind is that similar numbers will have a similar tone or shade. A #2 in blue for example will blend very well with a blue #3 or #4, but won’t blend as well with a blue #8 for example. If you are trying to achieve an even tone in your project you may choose to stick with a #2 through #4 in each of the colors you choose to achieve a lighter tone overall.

Spectrum Noir markers were created to be used long term. In other words, they are not disposable. Each marker can be refilled with the available 25ml refill bottles of ink and even the nibs can be replaced if they become dull or worn. This key feature makes our range of alcohol markers not only the lower cost alternative, but a wise investment in any crafters arsenal of products.

Rounding out the line of our Spectrum Noir alcohol markers is our Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock. As with the use of any alcohol marker the paper or cardstock you use is as important as the markers themselves. Our cardstock features very tightly woven fibers that create an ultra-smooth surface perfect for color blending. The surface also inhibits the bleeding of ink that is common in looser woven fibered papers or textured surfaces.

If you’re looking for an affordable alcohol marker solution then you’ve found the answer!
