@islandgrrl Actually, I ordered many of the colors from Amazon not long after I got my Minc. Yes.....beautiful colors!!!! I'm sure I now have a life-time supply, since they are larger rolls!!!!

Did I hear correctly that there will be more crafting products on HSN this Tuesday, August 9th?

@Krimpette

I went a little crazy with Minc foil during a Jo-Ann's Fabric and Craft Store sale. I now have enough foil to last quite a while. Do you have the 'holographic' foil? Similar to silver with an extra shine. I'm loving it for some of my embellishments.

Krimpette · ‎03-09-2010

@islandgrrl You know, the holographic is possibly the only color I don't have. But then, again, I'd better check my stash! A roll of it might be there!!!! So many pretty foil colors!!!!

@Krimpette & @Qgirl26:

Just checking in to see how you guys are doing and to see if you have picked up any new card crafting items. I have gone a little crazy since we last spoke. I've picked up Big Shot die cutter to work alongside my Minc machine. I've also been going crazy over new dies. Have you ever watched Jennifer McGuire's card crafting YouTube videos? She has soooo many great ideas. Her suggestions have really helped to broaden my card making style. Hope you guys are well!

@islandgrrl Good Morning! I did pick up some of AG's Christmas card goodies on her last HSN visit. I've been dabbling in some of the Christmas cards recently, though I've got to stop that and do a few Halloween and birthday cards.

One of the items I bought was her Christmas card toppers. They are absolutely lovely, but I almost feel like I'm really cheating by merely slapping one of these lovely toppers onto one of her lovely blank cards. (I also bought the blank Christmas card set. What a bargain! 100 beautiful blank cards (50 each of 2 sizes). I actually split the purchase with a friend.) But the finished cards sure do look great! I'm going to dabble in doing something to add my own touch, to ease my guilty conscience!!!!

@Krimpette

So happy to hear about your beautiful AG purchase! I'm still trying to figure out what I am going to do for my Christmas cards. Between our two really big families, a great group of friends and business connections, we send out almost 100 cards each year -- way too many to do them all by hand. But I do want to make about 20 or so myself. I've experimented this week by designing some images on my Mac then taking them to FedEX Kinkos to have them copied on card stock. I then foiled the laser toner images using my Minc machine. The results were pretty good! I'm going to keep toying around with different designs then figure out the embellishments.

I started making my Thanksgiving cards this week too.

Look forward to Craft Day on October 5th!

@islandgrrl, I have a Big Shot! I love mine, have had it for years. I hope you are enjoying yours as well. I did buy a few things this last time. I bought the vintage card toppers, the flocked layers and the playful pieces card kit on clearance. I have wanted that one awhile for my grandkids but I wanted the price to come down...and it did! lol!

I have not watched Jennifer McGuire, but I will be sure and check her out. Thanks for the suggestion!

@Krimpette, I feel like I'm cheating too! LOL! I never got the other versions before for that reason but I thought I could even use these in my scrapbooks. Sometimes on the cards though, I can be so slow so I really can use these little cheaters.

What blank Christmas card set are you talking about? I'm not sure I saw that.
