Craft Day Purchase Reviews - Page 2

Received the butterfly dies and gatefold set, but too busy preparing for Easter to try them out...maybe next week.

I thought the Pretty Paintings Cards were gorgeous, but I don't have a use for so many florals so I didn't buy it. With your description, Mewsmomtoo, I'm wavering.

Received the Pretty Paintings card kit and made most of the cards. They turned out really pretty. There were about 4 or 5 birthday ones but no sympathy ones.......at least no Deepest Sympathy tags for the front of them. There were some Thinking of You that could be used for that purpose. I really wish she would do one of these or the pop up ones in all birthday cards. I would buy two of them!

I also heard Anna say that there would be a Christmas pop up card kit - I am planning on buying two of them!!

Anna did say on her FB page there would be a card kit for children's cards "soon" (maybe her next appearance on May 11??) and yes, there would be a pop-up card kit for Christmas. Can't wait for that one.

I finally got all my craft day goodies and am very impressed with everything.

1) Pretty Paintings card kit: different than her other card kits, more 'old world' style to me. I love the pastel colored cards and layers with the smaller delicate flower borders. Like Mews said, they remind me of pressed flower cards, too. I also like the smaller scale floral embellishments and gold flourishes. My only problem was some of the cards were folded crooked but that can be fixed with my trusty bone folder!

2) Butterfly dies: very intricate in detail and beautiful. Worth every penny. There are 3 separate butterfly dies in different sizes and a larger die with 6 butterflies in two rows of three. I really like the trellis die as well; I can see it as a beautiful background to the butterflies and flowers.

3) Artful Patterns embossing folders: I've wanted these 'everyday' folders for ages, but they always came with a set of Christmas folders that I didn't want. So once they were offered separately, I jumped on them. The Vintage Hydrangea folder is beautiful and the others are also lovely.

4) Flower Pot Decoupage die cuts: violets, geraniums, pansies, lilies and others in small and large sizes, plus the pots to put them in and sentiment banners....237 total pieces!

5) Foil layers: I almost didn't get these because I already have the gold and silver foil flourishes. How much foil does one person need? Well, I am so glad I got them. 5x7 and 6x6 sizes of beautiful pastel colored cardstock overlaid with a variety of gold foil designs.

I also bought that Martha punch/stamp/sticker set that's been on $10 clearance for months. What a huge value for what you get....the regular price is $69 and it was a TS for (I think) $49. I've never used a punch or stamp before but thought this would be a good place to start since Martha's stamps are supposedly the best. You get 3 punches, a set of 31 butterfly, floral, sentiment and banner clear stamps, 26 beautiful pastel and gold butterflies and 144 pastel mini pearl embellishments. There's some good YouTube tutorials on using the punches.

So there you go! A great haul...I love everything I got!

Just and update on my totally tiffany organizer. It is a pretty neat concept. I have some of it loaded. Working on section #1. I do think you have to go through the pages sent with it to get the right page for what you are putting in it. The pages that came with the system all came together. Would have been nice if they were separated by what type of page it was. Maybe that is just laziness on my part as that is my only issue. Not a complaint for sure. It will take me longer than I thought it would to put together the way Tiffany suggests you organize it. I do have a purge box for those things I have decided I don't need any more. So all in all I have to say I am very pleased. I am hoping I don't need and extension system once I start loading the other sections. You Tube has some great information on this system which I did find helpful as well as the dvd that came with the product.

Anyone else???

Happy crafting.
