My favorite this year, by far, was the Vicki Boutin Color Study collection.  |

Ranger’s dome foams for ink blending. (Not scrapbook.com’s - they’re different.)
Glassboard Studio’s magnetic glass mat (see Mary Polanco’s youtube videos for discount/her affiliate link). But I got it just before I broke my arm and shoulder so haven’t used it, just look at it longingly, so maybe shouldn’t list it.

Oh, and my addiction, not just in 2021, but before and after - The Crafters Workshop (TCW) Light and Fluffy Modeling Paste. Used solo or with inks, watercolors, TCW intense as heck butters etc. mixed in.

I bought a color wheel inkpad from the AC warehouse sale (Vicki Boutin) and I have been very impressed! A little ink goes a long way.
I like this brand of tape, a substitute because Xyron X refills are impossible to find or are way too much money now. It is a very strong adhesive. Comes in different widths. I have no idea if it's archival. I put the tape on side of the paper I don't want to use. So that part is on the bottom. I put the die on top of the paper and run through my die cut machine. Instant sticker! Great for those really small pieces.

Class: I attended 2 virtual events this year. I've never ever gone to a big "event" before, and the virtual appealed to me because it removes the travel costs! So I took Scrapbook and Cards "Crop and Create" events - both a card weekend, and a scrapbook weekend. Gotta say, the card weekend was *flippin'* *amazing*. I learned. I got great products. I had fun. I'm doing it again in the Spring. The Scrapbook one was good value, but not up my alley as I'm too fond of my own process and style  Tool: Waffle flower stencil mat. Really really helpful when using stencils! Die Cutting: got a gemini junior for last Christmas and love my baby more than I could have imagined because it can live and be used in one of my kallax unit cubbies, and is so much easier than manual! Ink brand/color: Catherine Pooler - new to me, loving them. Also however loving the Concord and 9th, and the Stamp Market inks I've got my hands on this year. Just love the CP colours more. Adhesive - still using my art glitter and loving it with the metal fine tip attachment on the small bottle. Storage solution - I purchased an ikea shelving solution for an awkward wall space. It is SO wonderful. I have both plain shelves, and large mesh "drawers" that pull out so I can easily get into stuff. |

My favorite product/brand for 2021 was Pinkfresh and their stencil/stamp/die/foil plate combos. I love the concept so much as I’m not someone who loves to color so the stenciling is perfect for me!

This year I was really into The Stamp Market's and PinkFresh's designs. I love both of their inks, too. I agree with mbanda that PinkFresh's combos/bundles are awesome. I attended their online event in November and it was really well done and we got a ton of bundles - basically all of the December release. I also attended Crop and Create Online in October - the card event - and will be doing it again in the Spring. The community and having something to look forward to made it really worthwhile, and then the cards and products were just wonderful. I have nothing to complain about. I think my favourite paper collection is PinkFresh Holiday Magic - but I can't confirm because I just ordered it and haven't received it yet. But when I look at it online I'm just in love. My favourite sub this year was Elle's Studio - their monthly kit is so usable for my Project Life, and I've been good about keeping up with it so I get to use my kits almost as soon as I get them. Their add-ons are great, too, very useful and fun. |
