Love these stamps. The lightbulb is one that I know I will use over and over but I also love the typography background. The Inspector will likely be as popular as the the Professor.

Love these stamps. They remind me of the front papers on the backside of old book covers and I will likely use them for that purpose. So useful to make patterned paper to diecut or use for anything.

Beautiful paper. Love the colors. I have already used up most of the first pack I purchased and bought a second.

I love this ephemera. The colors are really beautiful. Lots of little botanical prints. Love the calling cards. These pieces are perfect for junk journals, cards, etc. the price of this package is a little bit higher than other Tim Holtz Idea-ology packs but there are a ton of large pieces so it is well worth it. The colors coordinate beautifully with each other and the backdrop papers.

Love these skeleton leave dies. I am sure I will use them often.

Love the small scale of these flowers and the way all of the sets work together. The layered details really add a lot of cuteness. It is nice that all of the pieces for one flower are connected so you can easily make one or two flowers without needing to hunt for parts.

I love the beautiful floral and insect images in this paper collection. I have found that soft cream and yellow solids pair nicely with the bright colors in this collection. Some of the solids from Garden Godess work well. This is one of my new favorite G45 papers.

I love this card stock with the craft core. It looks great distressed and comes in fabulous colors. It is heavy and good quality. I use it more than any other solid card stock.

I am a huge fan of Tim Holtz products and love his solid kraft core papers. But the color of this paper was a disappointment to me. The red is almost brown and not what I would use for Christmas. To my eye, it is different from what is pictured. That might be what some are looking for, but I think these Cute prints would be more useable if the color was less brown and more red.

I love these flutter dies and find myself using them all the time, with and without the stamps. Lately I have used them quite a bit to cut patterned paper that coordinates with what ever project I am doing. Add bling, pearls, glitter, wire antennae, etc. I have also used them with the stamps and then painted with watercolors. One of the more elegant projects was to emboss on vellum with super-fine silver embossing powder to make fairy wings. It might seem like a lot to spend on dies, but it is way more fun to make and decorate your own than to buy pre-made butterfly embellishments. In the long run it is less expensive too. I highly recommend.

I love these little frames with glass cabachons. I cut a small oval that matches or coordinates with the papers in my project to make a unique embellishment. These are a terrific addition to just about any project.

I have several IO molds and I love them all, but this one might be my favorite. I use the two molding strips most often (see projects for some of the ways I have used these). One note- the clock face is wrong. It is both a mirror image and the Roman numerals are wrong. I don’t think that should stop you from purchasing but you might want to be aware of it, depending on how you intend to use the clock.

I absolutely love this small frame set. It is such a useful size and the daisies are perfect if you want to add embellishments. For such a finely cut design it cuts very easily. I will use this one all the time.

Love this paper. So much fun to work with, particularly if you like to blend patterns. Every piece is gorgeous.

I absolutely love this paper. I just discovered it recently and have already made several projects with it. The paper is of high quality and is also a nice heavy weight, which makes it very easy to work with. This collection has the right mix of gorgeous patterns, large and small, and beautiful solids. And I absolutely love the color pallet. This is definitely one of my all time faves.

There are so many ways you can use these perfume bottles. The embossing is beautiful and can be highlighted with ink or left without ink if you want to showcase your paper. These are so much fun to embellish.

I have had the rectangles for a while and just added the ovals nd circles. The stitched pattern adds an extra special detail...

Use these rectangles constantly. Very useful.

I like that this can be used either as a stand-alone card or you can attach to a larger card as a pocket. It is very easy to make..

The holes for the laces make this one special.

This is a very easy project to make. It is good that it provides lots of drips so that you can make each candle look different. Because this is a bigZ die I was able to cut the flames out of metal.
