What new papercrafting products do you want or wish existed?

I've been wanting a "We R Memory Keepers  storage project cart". 
I've been reading the reviews on various websites and they are not good.....multiple complaints about the quailty, as well as multiple reports of not easy to assemble because of the poor merchandise quality.

Now I am rethinking my plan to purchase. I have a visa gift card to use, and am not finding anything similar. Other than bakery carts and trays (that they put pastries, doughnuts, etc...) on, but they are all much higher in price.

I really like the style of the we r memory cart, because each tray can be removed from the rack. It all stacks in the rack so nicely, it's a space saver. Too bad there are so many complaints about the product.
I have thought about making the purchase (Joanns has the best price with coupon) , and if I put it together and it's crappy....return it, but not sure how I would get refunded if I used a visa gift card.....because I wouldn't want a store gift card  as a replacement.

I'm not even sure there are new ideas anymore for product.

What else could they sell us that they haven't before?

I would love something new, just for the sake of having something exciting to look forward to.

I still want dog themed Thickers. I especially like the ones with the chipboard top and foam bottom. Those are my absolute favorite. Actually I would like these thickers in a variety of themes/icons. Kind of like the ephemera of Thickers.

I want a typewriter new and cute like the WRMK one's were, but one that types easily.

I was also looking at this recently and it sounds like if you get a good one it's very useful, but some of the plastic trays and attachment pieces were warped and holes not machined correctly. I'd be annoyed to go to the trouble of putting one together and then finding that the trays wouldn't sit flat/secure. I think more people leave a review if they're annoyed than if they're satisfied so maybe the odds of getting a good one are better than they look. IDK. It's a great organizing idea for pile-people.

So nice to hear a good review. Thank you for sharing that.

My friend has two of them. You do have to think when you are assembling them. But she has no complaints on either of them.
Another friend got one two she put it together this week. I haven't heard any issues from her.

Same, I think they'd have to make the typewriter an electric typewriter because those type a bit easier.



Yes to all these too. Some of the word strips are too cutesy for me and I end up cutting them up and making my own phrases.

This, or always referencing ties, or hunting, or mustashes, or being into tools. Some techy man stuff would be good. I bought Kaisercraft Workshop just because it looked a little techy!

this couldn't be more true!  i haven't truly, stark raving LOVED any new products in years. i have enjoyed some tools that We R Memory Keepers have come up with but some stuff has just been around for years in the main stream.  they just repackaged and marketed it for scrapbooking people so it looks new again (i'm talking the button maker, heat pens, etc.)

I want a craft room genie to set up my craft room just the right way for me.

Why isn’t that a service you can pay for? I’m moving and I’d really just like ( after I settle in ) to just walk in my room & craft. The choosing and setting up seems so over whelming.

I love stencils - mainly with pastes, some inks and other mediums - and tried a silicone mat because a favorite youtuber uses one. The slight softness wasn’t my cuppa, but maybe it’s just what you’re used to. It’s been a glass mat since the Tim one came out, and before that a thin, hard cutting board. And before that was a Ranger teflon mat (sheet) taped to a self healing cutting mat, so had a little more give, and I switched to the cutting board for more firmness. Like mattresses, which is right - firm or soft? 

I bought a smaller IBM self correcting Selectric. The seller refurbished it and painted it very pale turquoise (my request) and it’s fun. It sits on a little antique metal table on wheels but actually does take up a good deal of space. Those are what I typed on at work before computers! 

I mainly make cards and so I make my own sentiment embellishments. I wish there were nested bracketed label dies that are smaller in increments (about 2mm bigger) so it creates a small border behind the sentiment. Even though the nested dies from Spellbinders are lovely, the size increments are too big and go up to sizes I never use.
I've seen a set from Anna Griffin which is specifically for making bracketed sentiment embellishments, but I can't seem to find it in the UK.

I prefer using a guillotine to a rotary trimmer as I find the cuts are cleaner. But, and I think this is a common issue, the cuts aren't always even because the blade pulls the card/ paper when it's cutting, so it's a few mms out, even if I press the plastic guard down.

I also broke my left wrist years ago and it's weakened it it significantly, so I find it hard to hold paper/ card in place when cutting. Especially if I'm mass producing, it gets tiring and begins to hurt after a while.

So I had this idea of the plastic guard having a magnetic strip on it, and being able to place a magnet underneath the board under the strip area, so it clamps down on the paper/ card. Then you remove the magnet from underneath to release the paper.

I have a Dahle rotary trimmer and guillotine, and the base is metal. And so I've been able to place strong strip magnets on card and paper to hold it in place and it's worked great. I really love my Dahle guillotine because it can cut through a lot of paper/ card in one go and I use it to make my card bases.
