Scrapping Game...

[pattyT]

we haven't done one of these in a while -
and it doesn't look there are any great new products or sales to talk about -
so why not play a game -
maybe someone (um me) can learn somethin gnew -

Here it is
LOVE IT, HATE IT, or WHAT IS IT? (which would require further explination by op)

so I will start by posting a product, technique, or something scrap related and the next person will state if they love it, hate it, or don't know what it is!
then name another "thing" for the next person to post about...

If someone doesn't know what something is please try to put something in about what it is in the next post !

starting with....


prima flowers :flower:

What is it? :confused3

What about paper bag albums?

[mommie2angels]

Prima flowers - beautiful flower embellishments made from mulberry paper. They come in a wide variety of colors. They originally came in cute milk bottles. Now they come several different ways. Becoming a new addiction of mine. I tried to just let my two bottles get me by. I gotta have more!

Paper bag albums - LOVE IT!


Ribbon

[goofymom/pop]

Ribbon...love it... but use it mostly for my hand made cards. Seems to add too much cost to my albums.


brads

[pattyT]

Love THEM


Silent Setter

[nicurn]

rofl, now that I got it to work, LOVE the silent setter. :rotfl2:
little x

maggie

[LindaBabe]

Is little x that xyron thingie? I LOVE it and use it for everything that will fit down it's tiny little throat.

WISHBLADE

[havencruiser]

WISH I had one!
Love my Sizzix, though :banana:

[JulianneCP]

Sizzix Love it! Can't live with out it!

sidekick

[Spinning]

side kick
small portable machine to use with sizzlets Don't have one but sure would love it

Embossing paste! LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

:confused3 don't know what it is...

bazzill cardstock! :)

[WDWMom]

I love Bazzill card stock????

Chalk

[pjlla]

Used it, like it, don't love it.

CM Tape Runner

[Twigs]

Love it

Wizard

(Maggie, didn't I read somehere that you got a wizard? You can use the sizzlets dies in it, I do all the time!)

[pjlla]

Not sure what it is.

Bottle caps.

[pattyT]

Ok so we don't yet know what the paste is Sondra
or the wizard Twigs -
please elaborate - lol

LOVE the bottle caps myself!

Stickers

[GrayFal]

I don't know what HALF of these things are......

....I lead SUCH a sheltered life here in the country...

[Twigs]

Sorry, the wizard is a die cutting machine. You can use the dies from it's own company- Spellbinders, or sizzix, sizzlets, quickcuts, accucuts. It embosses too (most of the spellbinders dies cut the image and then with a different set of plates or pads embosses the same design). You can use any brass stencil to emboss. Apparently you can set eyelets and squash bottlecaps too, but I have to get a steel plate from the hardware store, so I haven't tried that yet. I really love it so far.

[pattyT]

grayfal you don't know what stickers are ;)
I am with you though on the other things...

[nicurn]

nope I don't have a wizard, I think spinning does though. :goodvibes back to the game....

quickutz (love it even more now that I can run my qk through my sidekick)

maggie

[GrayFal]

grayfal you don't know what stickers are ;)
...

I said :rolleyes1 HALF :rotfl: ...... not THAT half.....

and watch out for those nails :grouphug:

[Madi100]

nope I don't have a wizard, I think spinning does though. :goodvibes back to the game....

quickutz (love it even more now that I can run my qk through my sidekick)

maggie


Don't know what quickutz are.


How about glue dots. They are my new favorite discovery.

[dreams91]

Glue dots... like 'em.

I wanna go back to the embossing paste... anybody? :confused3

[Spinning]

Yep it is me that has the wizzard! Love it. It is a cutting system that embosses, cuts and can use all the dies out there!

Embossing paste! Love it....
I have transulcent and white

You take a template/brass stencils, which I have a ton!
Then tape it down. you then can
1. Just put the past over it with a artist knife so it fills in all the holes on the template. Remove excess and make smooth. Remove template let dry. While wet you can sprinkle glitter on it. Once dry you can chalk it or ink it. Just put the template back on.
2. Using the translucent paste, ink or chalk or markers inside the template. Then let dry if needed. Then pull the translucent paste over Let dry and it comes up very shiney!

Just a fun way to use brass templates....

So onto the game

Glue dots YEP Love them they are a necessity

Brass templates........(those who know me know I love my collection!)

[Twigs]

Love them

3D Crystal Laquer

[pattyT]

I have heard of 3-d laquer -
never found any or figured out what to do with it!

Grayfal - you are too funny! ;)
(ya um I stay away when I know that tool is being used now!)


how about buttons

[Twigs]

like them


bottle caps


(I got the 3-D crystal laquer in my LSS, you apply it over an image and it is raised shiny. Originally saw it on a QVS scrapping day)

[goofymom/pop]

bottle caps....never used them, I don't think I would like the bulk in my albums....


next item:
square maker

[WDWMom]

Love my square maker, heart maker, star maker and the list goes on....

[angelmom]

like them-

rub ons

[calanniebu]

haven't used them yet - are they easy to use? do they work on all types of paper?

brads instead of adhesive for pictures.

[TeresaNJ]

rubs ons, like them, don't love them
brads instead of glue, LOVE IT!!!

"transparencies"

[nicurn]

brads are nice...

glue LINES... LOVE them for adhering ribbon! maggie

[welovemickey]

Glue Lines - what are they?

QuickKutz QuickStik - love it!!

[piratesmate]

QuickKutz QuickStik - never heard of it! :confused3 And TeresaNJ, what do you use the transparencies for? confused3

mulberry paper

[TeresaNJ]

Oh my gosh, I LOOOOOVVVE transparencies, you have to try it. Here, I'll post an example. Go to this website, it explains transparencies and how to use them. http://www.pagesoftheheart.net/artman/publish/article_994.shtml

[piratesmate]

I already have some (a dear, sweet DIS friend sent them to me) but had no idea what to do with them. Thanks so much for the link! :teeth:

Back to the game.... ;)

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Mulberry paper - haven't tried it. I've never seen it, is it cardstock?

Slides

[piratesmate]

Mulberry paper is one of the handmade papers. It tears nicely & makes a very nice effect. It's not cardstock - it tends to be more on the thin side. Even the heavier stuff I can see through if I hold it up to the light.

I have some slide mounts, but haven't actually used them yet. I like the look enough to have gotten the Sizzix slide mount die though. LOL

distressing ink

[WDWMom]

Never used it.

Stamps. I have lots for making cards but never for my scrapbooks.

[pattyT]

stamps -
use occasionally can't say it is LOVE


You can use transparencies in the slides in a neat way - put two pieces of transparency the size of the slide - sandwish glitter, or 'confetti' into it and then put into the slide !


Distressing ink ROCKS - LOVE IT


Glue lines are like glue dots but in lines - kwim :confused3 Maggie told me I needed them - lol I ordered them and I have used them a few times - great with ribbons!


ok now How about
CHARMS

[MN Dis Fans]

I like charms.


the multipurpose tool from CM with two little clips. (I haven't figured out what to do with the miniclips.)

[piratesmate]

I haven't gotten the multipurpose tool & clips yet, but plan to do so soon. A friend showed me a better way to use the Titletopia Tool. She used those clips to hold down the Titletopia right where I wanted the title. It was much easier to get the alpha stickers on the paper that way. (I'm such a dope I was putting the stickers directly on the Titletopia & then transferring them to the paper.) :rolleyes1:

CM Journaltopia

[Twigs]

Never heard of it (I haven't seen anything new from CM)

Vellum


You can use transparencies in the slides in a neat way - put two pieces of transparency the size of the slide - sandwish glitter, or 'confetti' into it and then put into the slide !

You just solved a problem! I've been thinking of a way to put some sand from the beach onto a few layouts!

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Mulberry paper is one of the handmade papers. It tears nicely & makes a very nice effect. It's not cardstock - it tends to be more on the thin side. Even the heavier stuff I can see through if I hold it up to the light.

You know, I think I have some of this paper. Haven't used it yet, but I loved the look of it. LOL.

Okay, back to the game.

I love Vellum, especially for printing up my journaling. But I don't use it that often.

How about 8x8 albums?

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

have 3 of them....have not scrapped one single page yet, :rotfl2:

How about pop dots?

[Pammy jo]

don't really tickle my fancy. Have used them sparingly.

QVC perfect layers

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

another thing that I own and have not used... :rotfl:

How about funky fibers? :)

[piratesmate]

I've seen Perfect Layers but not used it/them. ETA: Oops! Took too long to answer. I love fibers, but some I've seen recently are too fat...don't like those. Is this a brand name - or just a type?

The CM Journaltopia is a straight edge with a series of plastic loops (sort of like fishing line) on one side that you use to write in a straight line without drawing on your paper. The loops kind of squish down when you write letters with "tails" - like g, p, q... I'd really like to hear if anyone really likes theirs. (I'll tell you why later.)


embossing powders & heat gun

[calanniebu]

love them for card making ... haven't used them in my scrapbooks - YET!

pictures of you and your favorite characters :-)

[piratesmate]

Love them if you count the ones of my kids as "you" - not crazy about them if you actually mean me. :blush:

Archival Mist

[mommie2angels]

This is too funny. I was about to tell momof2disneykids that didn't she know she can't buy anything else until she has used everything at least once. :rotfl2: :banana: Then archival mist comes up.

My answer: have it but have never used it. :rotfl2:

OOPS! I should have read the list to see what hasn't been called. Be right back.

[mommie2angels]

OK punches

[nicurn]

depends on the punch. :)

glue pen

maggie

[MN Dis Fans]

I don't like glue pens.

What is archival Mist?

the CM personal trimmer

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

This is too funny. I was about to tell momof2disneykids that didn't she know she can't buy anything else until she has used everything at least once. :rotfl2: :banana: Then archival mist comes up.

My answer: have it but have never used it. :rotfl2:



BUSTED!!!!!!! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[JudithM]

What is archival Mist?

I use archival mist on newspaper clippings that I want to preserve. It is a spray for paper. I imagine it is for other items, too, but I don;t havethe box in front of me.

I liked my CM personal trimmer, but I found I also needed a 12" trimmer. I found a very goodone at my local photography store (which is now also into sb!). So,

12" trimmers

[piratesmate]

I've not been impresses with the ones I've used - CM & Fiskars. I had gotten a Fiskars 12" rotary trimmer several years ago before I started scrapping & had gotten used to that. Although it's big & clunky I much prefer it to the smaller ones...mainly because of the ruling on the small ones.

Sizzix Paddle Punches

[Twigs]

haven't tried them

tiny mini clothespins (my scrapping friend gave me some and I don't know how I should use them)

[piratesmate]

Haven't tried them in scrapping, although I've used them in woodcraft for years. They're so cute - I really like them! Couldn't you use them the same way you use those metal clips?

Wire Art

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Geez, this thread is making me realize that I am SO unadventurous with my layouts!

Haven't tried wire art, yet.

Hmm, I don't think we've done Eyelets yet.

[pattyT]

YA glad to see this thread is helping people ;)

I did a cute layout with clothes pins - had the pins holding the pictures in the corners... I don't think I have it online though :(


Eyelets - I have a million but I will pick a brad first anyday - less work and I am getting lazy...
but I like em (at least to collect :teeth: )


Sticker Letters

[JudithM]

I've not been impresses with the ones I've used - CM & Fiskars.

My 12" trimmer is Carl brand. We really like it for cutting sb items & photos.

[calanniebu]

My 12" trimmer is Carl brand. We really like it for cuting sb items & photos.

where did you find it? I have a Fiskars that I don't like ...

[bubbasmom99]

where did you find it? I have a Fiskars that I don't like ...

My local Staples carries a bunch of Carl trimmers... 8 inch, 12 inch, 12 inch rotary, plus a larger rotary and a guillotine. Really reasonable prices too! The smaller slide trimmers were $9.99.

[JudithM]

where did you find it

My local photography store carries these Carl brand rotary trimmers.

[disney funseeker]

can't add anything but learning a lot.

thanks, good thread, keep it up.

[piratesmate]

I think we were at "Sticker Letters"...

I like some & like the diversity, but am not crazy about the cost...and all those extra letters that I don't know what to do with! :rotfl2: I hate to waste anything! :rolleyes1:

Coluzzle

[becky7953]

couzelle never tried it looks hard to do

punches

[becky7953]

oops just noticed punches done already

cm albums

[pattyT]

punches are great!
although sometimes I just wish I could get into the middle of a paper with them...

Hey maybe you could try something like the letter in this layout: http://www.twopeasinabucket.com/layouts/layout_images/599371.jpg
with your left over letter stickers piratesmate

tweezers??


someone once told me they were their favorite thing and I still don't have any!

I think it is ok to do things more than once - someone diffrent can answer - no big

but I do use the CM albums too!

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Tweezers - Love them!

CM's 12" decorative trimmer

[piratesmate]

PattyT - You have to get some tweezers! How can you work without them?!?!? :earseek: And don't bother with those silly ones in the MM toolkit either. I have a pair that looks like they're a surgical/dental tool...very fine point that I used to use for picking out mistakes in my counted cross stitch. They'll pick up anything! :teeth:

I have the old decorative edge pattern for the CM cutting system, not the new 12" trimmer, but I really like the new one. Just don't ask me to measure what I'm cutting. LOL

buttons

[MomOf2DisneyKids]

buttons....love the Mickey ones, and have used them on a few Christmas things, but other than that, I could take or leave them.

file folders?

[mommie2angels]

file folders - one of my new addictions. I love them! Patty made (oops encouraged) me buy the file folder coluzzle and I love it!

piratesmate - thanks so much for the suggestion on the surgical tweezers. I have some in an unopened kit I was going to just throw away. I will open it and get those out. Great idea!

paper clips

[Pammy jo]

just made my first colluzel file folder tonight on a layout. I think they're adorable, I'm just not creastive enough to use them alot.

scrapbook magazines

[Spinning]

magazines
I personally don't care for them I find the stuff to hard to do or too expensive. So I don't get them any more

fibers

[pattyT]

Love Fibers...

glad you love the colluzzle I MADE you buy Kelli ;)

Looks like I NEED to find surgical tweezers one of these days then ;)


how about
Scrapbook alive sound recorders??

[piratesmate]

To whoever said that using the Coluzzle looked hard, it did take some getting used to. The first few I did I wasn't happy with the way I had cut them out at the end. However, I really like them! The learning curve was easier than the CM cutting system was - for me at least. I was told that the biggest mistake people make is that they fail to remove the plastic film from both sides of the template. Evidently it makes it harder to cut with the film still on.

Patty - I think you'll love the tweezers & wonder what you ever did without them, but be sure you keep them up away from your little ones. The tip is very sharp! I even use them to pick up single pieces of the CM tape runner adhesive to put in tight spots.

OK - back to the game...

Scrapbook alive sound recorders - I haven't used any, but I love the concept!! I am so sad that I didn't record my kids when they were small. :( I have one short bit on a cassette of DS singing "Blue Moon" when he was 2...it's priceless. But to be able have grandparents & kids preserved - even laughing screams from Splash Mountain!! :teeth: - that would be awesome! ::yes::


Ribbon Slides

[Twigs]

Haven't used them yet... But I love the look.

Fiskars shape cutter

[pattyT]

ABSOLUTELY HATE them!

gave them away as a matter of fact!


colored pens/markers

[piratesmate]

Love them! Especially my brush markers for my rubber stamps! Now I have multi-colored images on my pages instead of plain, black outlines. :teeth:


BargainPack You were all waiting to see how long it would take me to mention that, weren't you? :rotfl2:

[Twigs]

I love BargainPack (and learned about them from you Deb!)

Calligraphy pens

[GrayFal]

I am JUST so inadequate........ :rotfl:

[Madi100]

I've seen Perfect Layers but not used it/them. ETA: Oops! Took too long to answer. I love fibers, but some I've seen recently are too fat...don't like those. Is this a brand name - or just a type?

embossing powders & heat gun

I use the Journaltopia quite often. I like it. So, now tell me why???

And, you also posted about the paddle punches. I HATE them. I bought them when you got 18 of them for $20.


Letter To Go - anyone else have these? I bought them yesterday at our LSS. It is a Chinese carton that has over 2500 different letters in it. Haven't used them, but they look like fun.

[PoohBearLovinMama]

I am JUST so inadequate........ :rotfl:

You and me both! :rotfl:

Another "I haven't tried it" answer for me!

NOw I really have to laugh, I've never tried the letter to go either, but I would like to.

How about rolling stamps for backgrounds? (does that make sense?)

[MN Dis Fans]

Calligraphy pens - LOVE them :goodvibes

Rolling stamps (like the ones from Stampin Up?) like them

CM snap packs

[piratesmate]

I use the Journaltopia quite often. I like it. So, now tell me why???

Letter To Go - anyone else have these? I bought them yesterday at our LSS. It is a Chinese carton that has over 2500 different letters in it. Haven't used them, but they look like fun.

Journaltopia - Well, every time I've tried to use it I get "fly dirt" on the page. I mean the ink seems to "hang" on the loops & when I pick up the tool the ink then transfers to the paper. I hate the way that looks! I tried asking my CMC if anyone else had that problem, but she'd never heard of it. She used my tool & didn't have the same problem, but watched me do it & couldn't see that I was doing something wrong. (I was using a CM pen BTW.)

This may sound stupid, but I wonder if it has to do with being left-handed. :confused3 I have problems with ballpoint pens leaving blobs on the paper. I don't hook my hand when I write & fibers from the paper seem to build up around the ball. After a while they become dislodged & leave an inky blob on the paper. I wouldn't think that a felt tip marker would cause a problem like that, but it's the only thing I can think of. :confused3

About the Paddle Punches - I think a man wrote the instructions on how to use them. :rolleyes1 Seriously, it says to give them a couple moderate taps (or something along those lines) but I have to hit it harder than eyelets in order to get the things to punch! They work well once I stopped worrying about hitting them too hard. It's a good thing they were cheap though. I don't know how often I'll use them. :ssst: Don't tell DH please! :rotfl2:

CM snap packs - I don't like them. They're expensive, they have things I never use (like triangle pieces), .... I can't think of the other reasons right now. :confused3 I like the stickers in the Disney pack, but I'd rather just buy them separately. Oh - I know another reason...in the Disney pack all the shaped borders are yellow! I like to vary things more than that.

Are you going to believe me if I tell you that I am left-handed? How interesting that you would have that problem. I don't at all.

Those paddle punches are the pits. There isn't one thing I like about them. I think mine are going to hit ebay one of these days.

[mommie2angels]

Jolees - like them

paper clips - nobody answered this last time I put it down.

[pattyT]

LOVE THEM! :)
give layouts a little umph sometimes!

Love to get them, but not having much luck making them. :rotfl2:

[nicurn]

sharpies... can't say I use them

drywall tape. :rotfl2: maggie

[piratesmate]

Drywall Tape?!?!?!?! All I can say, Maggie, is you've certainly earned your tag! Dark side scrapper indeed! :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

I've never used it (obviously) but would love to hear you explain this one! :teeth:


Stencils

[pattyT]

I love drywall tape!
I just used it on the christmas swap - lol
it is a lot cheaper than rolls of magic mesh and does the same thing - and you can even color it any way you like!

Chipboard letters can be bought or you can take the cardboard from the back of a pad of paper and cut out letters with a sizzix and decorate them - love them too

I have a ton of stencils -
and I don' relaly use them anymore - but i might if I get some of that stuff Spinning was talking about - molding paste or whatever - lol

[nicurn]

yup, gotta love drywall tape (instead of magic mesh).

stencils...hmmm, I have a ton, don't use them although I heard from a "pea" that you can use them in the sidekick if you have some rubber thingie....I'm sure it's something that I can buy at the hardware store. :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

let's see, metal washers (from the hardware store) ooooooh, cause I have one of those metal engraver thingies and FINALLY figured it out! love it! maggie

Never used washers either. Drywall tape??? What in the world do you do with that? I don't know what magic mesh is either.

[pattyT]

What am I chopped liver...
lol

I posrted TAGS as the next item???

:)

Washers can just provide another hard visual element - you can rub letters on them - tie a ribbon through them... whatever you think of!
I have only used them once or twice - but I haven't done the new hosue album yet - so I might need them for that!

[Twigs]

Tags - Love them


Corner photo mounts

[pjlla]

Don't love them... find them difficult to use and position properly. I only use them if I have something I may want to remove from the page in the future.

Buttons (sorry if this was posted already.... I haven't kept up!)...........P

[nicurn]

buttons are fun. :)

ribbon....

maggie

[pattyT]

LOVE LOVE LVOE ribbons!


CIRCLE cutters??

[pppiglet]

Don't like circle cutters. I am bad with them...as you notice all my pictures are square!

Love the washer idea...I work in a hardware store so guess what I'm buying tomorrow!

Color Wheels anyone?

[WDWMom]

I use my color wheel occassionally.

Colored pens/markers?

[nicurn]

hmmm, don't use the coloured pens much, occasionally for journalling...

vellum?

maggie

[piratesmate]

Vellum - love it! (But I'm afraid to use it now that we've had the LaserJet/photo discussion & I've seen they actually sell Vellum for laser printers. :()

I had no idea that you didn't use Magic Mesh on the Christmas swap Patty! I love it! I keep looking at the "mesh" when I place orders online, but don't like the price. LOL But when Maggie said "drywall tape" I was thinking of the stuff that looks like paper that we used to use with spackle to seal to pieces of drywall. :confused3 Have they changed it? I guess it's been a while since I've done any work on the house. LOL What did you use to color it? I'm excited about this now!


Paper Crimpers

hmmm, don't have a paper crimper... as to drywall tape, I just buy the roll that looks like mesh in the hardware store and go to town. lets see, whatelse do I like?

metal embellishments

maggie

[PIRATEGIRL007]

metal embellishments- love them! can't live without them, espically liscense plates!

Transparencies

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Like them. Haven't figured out a whole lot to do with them though, but I will have to try the slide idea someone mentioned earlier.

Acrylic paint. I saw some at my LSS today and didn't know what you did with it.

[PIRATEGIRL007]

Acrylic paint, I can't live without it! I use it to paint everything, chipboard, metals, paper, drywall tape ;) , and cardstock. You can use it to edge photos or mats, stamp with it, just about anything you can do with ink you can do with acrylic paint.

epoxy embellisments

[nicurn]

epoxy embellishments are fun, I like to put the round ones inside smashed bottle caps myself...

perfect layers (have it, use it only when I remember I have it, and usually end up swearing at it or drawing blood) maggie

[dreams91]

ooohhh. perfect layers. Heard so much about it. Still don't understand it. Would love to have one though. :rotfl: Just hearing about some of the stuff makes me want one, even though I have no idea what I'd use them for!

How about....hmmm....I'm so boring in my scrapping....

have we mentioned embossing?

[Spinning]

just have to comment on perfect layers!
Love it! It is one of my most used tools! I found using a larger handle exacto (big red handle) helps!
But it makes the best matts ever!
Embossing anther one of my favorites! I think I did mention it awhile back! I love the look!

lets see what else:
water color pencils? I have them, never used them!

[pppiglet]

Water color pencils....never used

How about decorative scissors! I have a few, but for some reason, never use them!

[piratesmate]

I'm a sucker for those decorative scissors, but rarely use them - even my Mickey ones! :( It seems every time I have the perfect place to use a particular pair then don't make a "clean cut". Cutting tin foil helps, but not enough. Are you not supposed to use them on card stock?

And while I love the water color pencils (I've used them for years) I've never used them in my scrapping. :confused3 I just never thought about it...I'll have to find a place to use them now though. They're much nicer than just colored pencils & even markers, because you can get the "filled in" look more easily once you add the water. You can also do shading with them that is harder or impossible to do with markers or plain pencils. ::yes::


Chocolate! :teeth: I don't know about you, but it's a tool around here. :rotfl2:

How about those carts on wheels for dragging all the stuff around in? I can barely lift mine up into my car! :crazy2:
