NEW Question ***

[Oldma]

Hi everyone....I think this gets us to know each other a little bit better---what we hoard--what we don't like---NOW...

What one Paper Wishes products do you just LOVE! and keep reaching for all the time....???

Mine would be the templates. They are so versatile and there are such a variety to choose from.

I think the one item I use over and over on almost every project, from layouts to cards, is the acrylic stamps, I own them all, and use them so much, I have to wonder how many stamps does it take to wear out an acrylic stamp pattern???? Hmmmmm........

[fabyon]

Templates for me too ! :D And all the Christmas brads and fabric flowers !

[PhinnyArt]

The acrylic stamps! I love the delicate and bold pattern stamps and I am lusting after Mix Your Messages.

[Heather]

I would have to agree with the templates. They have soooo many great uses for scrapping and card making. :D

[kasiahbug]

That reminds me: I need to order more Paper Wishes stamps...
Lately it's been Dazzles, before that paper and stamps, brads, ummmm, everything I suppose.

[Am0rcita]

I LURVE the templates too!

I hoard acrylic stamps, ribbon, and primas. What I don't like anymore is stickers. I finally went thru my bags (that I used to hoard) and got rid of them.

[DaDoodleDiva]

I almost forgot. The PW product I love are definitely the templates.

[ladystampzalot]

My new favorite thing is anything metallic. I love the metallic mesh and the new jumbo brads! :rolleyes:

[Scrapande]

I love the paper and the templates.

[cathyday]

I use the templates all the time.I love the paper piecing books and recently got the books on CD and that is so convenient.Even though I might not use a certain product for a long time, I never get rid of it because I feel eventually it will have a use again.With that way of thinking I am outgrowing my scrap room :D

[beverly]

Stamps (all kinds), punches, flowers. I love it all, am beginning to outgrow my scrap room, but can't bare to get rid of anything. I keep finding things I've had for a long time and it is like Xmas and I get inspired all over again. Love my stuff.

[Jazzyjess49]

Hmmmm I think it's just tools in general, like stamps templates, punches, my cricut and cartridges, I have all kinds of paper, but I'm always looking for the next new gadget!

[CakeScraper08]

I got to test out one of the kits that have everything in it to do pages,cards ect. and I find that I like to use the puch out letters and the flowers on everything I can get away with ..:p

[karenliz]

Rubber stamps, paper and punches or any kind of tool plus adhesive are my favorites.

[grandma ann]

i would have to say the acrylic stamps they can be used so much however my supply of brads and other items is increasing due to mommas warehouse sales

[Sonshine]

That I reach for ALL the time - would have to be their great brads.:cool:

[SandyJ]

I've made books using the kits, right now I'm enjoying easy peasy and have just started making cards with the tin box kit. Having the kits is so much easier with everything you need right in front of you. :D

[PhinnyArt]

You guys reminded me of how much I love the PW brads. I have the chocolate set with each color in three sizes all in one pack. Love it!! :)

[lynner22]

Brads, flowers, templates.... I love it all!

[Dee_Dee]

I totally love the Paper Pizazz patterned paper books! I've used them for years. I also like the coordinating embellishments.

[Jillybean]

I too love the templates. I don't have them all yet, but I am working on getting more soon.

[Irishlady]

Hi, I like the templates but love the clear stamps. I never was into stamping much til I started using those. Now I want every one I see. I especially like PW Christmas stamps & Anna Griffin's stamps. Judi

[PhinnyArt]

I hear ya, Irishlady. *nodding*

And guess what? I finally got my coveted Mix Your Messages! Yay! The words are a little bigger than I thought they'd be, but I love the variety. Here's a link to the PW clear stamps:

[DaPrincess]

I am addicted to the templates!! Got to have'em all!!

[Sandra]

I love my wooden block stamps the most of all along with my glitter pens to add a touch of class to my stamped out images.I actually don't even own 1 acrylic stamp :eek:. Yes,you can make beautiful cards without acrylics :D.I also enjoy my punches.I bought a Martha Stewart "dove" punch a few months ago and I use it often.I also love my heart punch,it's a one inch.I like to punch out 2 hearts and overlap them at the bottom left of my anniversary cards with a glue stick.It makes a nice presentation as well as the 2 hearts represent the love a married couple shares.I also will punch out the heart pattern on a 1&1/2 X 1&1/2 piece of craft paper that matches the front of the card.I will then glue the outline to the top right of the card and put the month and year written inside the outline of the heart.I don't bother with the exact date of their anniversary,just the month and the year.These are some of my favorite things...:)

True - I don't use toomany stamps at all these days. I am starting to miss them though...pics, if ya can get them:)

[supermum]

My addiction is definitely the fab papers...I think I've had them all but not used some because they're too nice to cut into. lol

Yep, I know just what you mean! :D

[Sandra]

Yep, I know just what you mean! :D




:eek: My daughter bought me an album with some beautiful paper to go with it.I have been looking at it for over a year now.I finally said enough is enough and I :eek: cut into the most beautiful piece of paper that I'd ever seen.Know what?? The world did not come to an end...HA HA...:D It actually felt good to finally do it.Are we nuts or what???It's only paper!!!!!

[Heather]

Why is it so hard to do that? I know just what you mean. But what are we saving it for? Yep, I know I am nuts! In fact, my little scrapping group is called "Nuts for Scrappin." hahaha

[Kissedby2]

Oh, I keep telling my Mother, don't worry about making a mistake it's only paper and we can get more. She just looks at me and says "what if they don't make that one any more". I re-assured her there will be another pretty paper that will be your favorite.

She lived through the depression so it is so hard for her to keep from saving everything.

[Sandra]

:)I keep telling myself I will save a certain paper for special occasions.Well, how special does the occasion have to be before I cut into it. :eek: I am done waiting on a special occasion so I am cutting away!!!!! Try it girls. It feels soooooo
good.............:D AHHHHHH now that's a good feeling.I'm free as a bird now!!!!!!! :D

[fabyon]

I bought these beautiful Italian 12X12 papers ......gorgeous. They're on sale now so I think I'll stock up because nobody is stocking them in the UK.

[pattylt]

Glad to hear I am not the only paper harlot out there. I have tons. I don't have any problem cutting into one when it is perfect for the project, though. I'll just buy more.

I am also a nut for punches for some reason. I went bonkers when the punches came out for the papercrafting flowers. I will do anything to avoid scissors.

I have to say that while I love the templates, I hate the cutting but it is the only way, sometimes, to get that unique look.

I just got the Enveloper today and made my first envelope. Easy as can be. Now I want to make some card/envelope sets. Gee, I think I need to go buy some more paper....

[Sonshine]

Hi Patty. Good nice to hear from you again. And it's good also to hear you thought the Enveloper was easy to use. That's NEXT on my list. And of course - any old excuse will do to BUY MORE PAPER!!! :D

[kasiahbug]

You will LOVE the enveloper. I used to buy envelopes for my cards, but now they are extra special because they match the card and if I happen to make a card that is not quite so usual in shape or size, I can make an envelope that it will fit in.

[pattylt]

You will LOVE the enveloper. I used to buy envelopes for my cards, but now they are extra special because they match the card and if I happen to make a card that is not quite so usual in shape or size, I can make an envelope that it will fit in.That is exactly why I bought it, too! I just think it is a little extra special to get, not only a handmade card, but a homemade matching envelope. Plus, I love to make so odd shaped cards and they can be very difficult to find the pre-made envelopes that fit. Also, I am excited about trying the 3D card.

[cardz for u]

Ditto on the Enveloper, Patty! Got mine last week and love it, and you're right...it's very easy to use. :)

[lavendar66]

My favourites at the moment are wire mesh, Dazzles and Laser Cut cards.
