All Arty-Crafters/Crafty-Arters.....I need your top 5 must-haves/favourites please....

[VeniVidiVickiQV]

Equipment, accessories, embellishments or whatever for craft/card making please!

THank you!

...and watch this space...as I will be having a craft blitz soon.....

Hot glue gun
Sticky pads for 3d effects
Studio-tac
Mulberry paper
Card folding board

seeker - studio tac and mulberry paper???? please explain!

Whizzz, what do you mean by "craft blitz"?

Studio-tac is wonderful stuff. It's like a sheet of sticky paper you can press stuff onto, peel it off and the thing you have stuck on has turned into a sticker. Does that make sense? Mulberry paper is my catch-all name fo unusual hand-made papers -I use it for mounting things on cards.

Glue dots (on a roll and easy to use)
funky foam sheets (luverly to cut)
self sticking funky foam shapes (no mess)
ascetate sheets (for glass painting)
glass paints! (see above!)
ready made cards & envelopes (coz there's nothing worse than making a card then not having an envelope to put it in!)

Ah ha! thanks for that.

VVV, I started off with a toolbox too....now I have that plus many many more small/medium/large storage boxes, a scrapbooking wheely bag & a table top craft companion thing. A 3 drawer storage cabinet, A4 binders full of backing paper....

It is addictive...

My top 5 will be

Double sided sticky tape
Thin Mulberry Paper (I wet & pull the edges to give it a feathered look)
Embossing Pen, powders & heat gun
Sticky Gems
Cutterpede cutter. It is A4 size & you can change the cutting tool. Either straight edge, or any other pattern you could think of.

Jarm & Oct, couldn't you both come over to Basildon and I can meet you both there. We can wander round Hobbycraft together AND have lunch.

Sounds like a plan UCM!

Will have to see when Oct is free!

VVV - "Craft Blitz" = clearing out my craft stash for bargain prices
