I'm not sure if this sort of a thread exists already, or how useful it is for seasoned crafters, but maybe newbies like myself will find it interesting. I thought I'd list the newer products I've spotted at my local Michaels:
1. Chameleon pens: www.chameleonpens.com/about
These are a newer type of alcohol marker that eliminate the need for multiple pens. I don't think they can actually replace copics, but the concept is very interesting! I saw 4/5 different sets (Skin tones, Warm tones, etc) and they're priced at $40 a set. The good thing is you can use a 50 off coupon.
2. Artist Loft Sketch Markers
These are the Michaels brand alcohol markers, found in the fine arts section. They're now available open stock, for around $3.75 each, in lots of different colours. I can't find too many reviews online (if you've used them, please tell me what they're like!), but the price isn't too bad for experimentation, especially with coupons.
3. Spellbinders dies and embossing folders
They finally have all the ones I saw in the US 2 months ago. Basic shapes and the word dies (that you can find rip-offs of on ebay and AliExpress.
4. Tim Holtz stamps and die sets
They've got the crazy bird stamps and dies, as well as some cat and dog ones... sorry, I'm blanking on the exact ones that I saw.
5. Distress Oxide inks
They have around 8 of the colours available I think, and they're priced at $8.99 each I believe.
6. Heidi Swapp cards
There's a new line of card bases, envelopes and envelope liners by Heidi Swapp that you can customize. Includes new word stickers too.
That's it for now! Will add more if I see anything else.
