Cheap Roylco Nature Stencils - Set of 10
I ordered these stencils for an outdoorsy type party and the kids enjoyed using them for crafting. They used them to draw with fabric markers on fabric bags and napkins. They worked well for that party and my kids will continue to use them for stenciling. Nice quality from a durability standpoint.

Best Fiskars 12-66007097 ScrapBoss Starter Set Deals
Fiskars, well-known for their scissors and paper punches, makes a great system for embossing, stenciling and cutting. It's super for scrapbooking and cardmaking. Everything in these sets works together. I have several of the sets, and thought you might be interested in this versatile system.
The first piece that you need is the Scrapboss. Measuring 12 inches by 12 inches, it's big enough for full-size scrapbook pages. Templates are fastened to it by repositionable pegs. Underneath, there's a storage tray to store templates and paper. It comes with 2 styluses, some stencils, and a project book. The Scrapboss can use any stencils and templates that Fiskars makes.
There's a smaller cousin, the Shapeboss. It fits stencils and templates that are 9 inches by 11 inches and smaller. It comes with a stylus and some stencils. It does not have the storage tray. For the smallest sizes, try the Cardboss or Mini ShapeBoss Set The stencils listed on those pages both work on the Scrapboss and Shapeboss.
Embossing and Stenciling
Embossing and stenciling are very easy with this system. The laser-cut stencils come in two parts. First you lay the bottom piece on the Scrapboss, then the top piece. The top piece has grid lines and is marked, "top." Next I usually put a couple pegs in the corners to hold it securely in place. I position the paper, cardstock, or thin metal in between the two pieces and, start embossing. The styluses comes with different size tips. Smaller tips are better for detailed areas, while large areas can be finished quickly with the bigger tips.
The stencils come in a large variety, from abstract lines and letters, good for lots of pages, to holiday and baby themes. If you click on the small pictures on this page and this page, you can see the details of each one.
Sometimes I emboss right on a 12x12" scrapbook page and create borders and frames. I also make embellishments by embossing smaller pieces or copper pieces. I usually emboss before cutting them out. It's easier.
Another set that I use alot to make photo mats and embellishments for scrapbooking and cards are the Texture Plates. They're made of hard plastic with holes at the top for the pegs. Each is two-sided, with a different texture on each side. The assortment pack is a great value and contains 6 double sided plates (12 designs) including hearts/ stars, lines/waves, bubbles/dots, squares/fabric, stones/bricks and wood/leaves.
I use the Texture Plates with the Shape Templates that I'll talk about later to create my own textured die-cuts. For example, I put the heart shape template on the Scrapboss with a hearts texture plate beneath it. I slide my paper in-between. I emboss inside the heart shape, creating a hearts texture. Then I cut out the heart shape. It's very cute! I also like to create titles this way, using the letter and number shape templates and the other texture plates.
Cutting
The Fiskars templates for cutting are designed for the ShapeCutter. It's a very safe and accurate way to cut out clean shapes and letters. The cutting mat and shape templates fit the Scrapboss or Shapeboss and have holes to secure them with the pegs. Using the ShapeCutter is very simple. Hold the base of the ShapeCutter inside the template and follow around the edge. To cut a freehand design, I just look down at the blade and follow my traced line. The blade is adjusted by a knob on top for different paper thicknesses.
The ShapeTemplates are sturdy plastic with grid lines, and can be stored in a binder. They have several shapes on each one, and some have border designs along the sides. They come in many varieties and letters and numbers. There's also a set of Super Size ShapeTemplates. On these, you can use the inside and outside of each shape, That's great for cropping a photo and creating a matching shape mat.
Overall, I use the Scrapboss alot in my paper-crafting. It's very versatile, and I can create many different looks, cards, and layouts.

I love making my own greeting cards!! This adds a new dimension to my creations and it's fun and easy to use. There is storage on the inside for full scrapbook sized sheets of paper as well as more stencil sets and the embossing tools and pegs. The only drawback to this, for me, is the size. It's really designed for scrap bookers so it's quite large, about 16 inches square, so I wish I had gotten a smaller version for myself. If you don't scrapbook and mainly work on smaller items then you might want to get one of Fiskars smaller versions of this. Either way, they're all pretty much the same. Easy to use, with excellent results (keep a scrap from a white candle handy and rub the tip of your embossing tool on it, it really helps the tool glide across the paper) I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys papercrafts all all sorts.Best Deals for Fiskars 12-66007097 ScrapBoss Starter Set
this is mostly plastic stenciling. who knew you don't need circut or those other embossing machines that are very costly and really limit your design. no light box necessary and one stencil sheet has a muti designs to use over and over. fabulous! only negative, as a prime member this shipping should have been freeHonest reviews on Fiskars 12-66007097 ScrapBoss Starter Set
Did not realize it was a storage case too! That's gotta be my favorite feature. Comes with 2 tools (bonus!!) and a stencil pattern (which I didn't have before, but now I have another one to add to my inventory!!) which is really great! The booklet inside has some really great ideas I wouldn't have thought of and it's directions are easy to follow. I have tried embossing with Fiskars stencils before, and have griped that I didn't get this board when it was in the stores. I am so happy now that I have it, and I now also have a place to keep my stencils.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Fiskars 12-66007097 ScrapBoss Starter Set

Discount Singer Iron On Denim Cotton Patches, 5-inch, Set of 2
My sons tend to abuse the knees on their jeans, and so we need to keep patches around the house to keep them in their jeans. These work really well. I tend to cut them into thirds (as that size works well for the holes we seem to get around here), and round the corners like the description says you should if you cut these down. I also apply these to the inside of the jeans instead of the outside, and we have never yet had any issues with them coming off or having any other wear issues. These have allowed my sons to be able to wear their jeans until they outgrow them, and even made it so that most of the pairs can be passed on to the younger guys!

Like all airbrush paints, it must be reduced to a milk-like consistency. The colors are very brilliant. The biggest issue with airbrushing is troubleshooting problems when it doesn't work properly.

Buy Tsukineko - Memento Dew Drop Dye Inkpads 12/Pkg
List Price: $25.20
Sale Price: $21.31
Today's Bonus: 15% Off
If you only need ink pads to use for stamps, this is a good value. The pads are way too tough though... you have to work the pad into a slightly softer quality and it inks very well. If you need to use the pads directly to the product (inking paper edges and so on), they are too hard for the job. Colors are great, some are actually little too "inky" or maybe watery, but they have so far proven to last longer. I'm not sure I would buy again since I do need them for more than plain stamping.

I just love these Momento inks. I purchase clear stamps and matching dies from an online stamp store, but the colors of ink I want are never in stock there.I decided to try this brand of inks instead, and the colors are wonderful. I was able to get clear, vibrant colors with my stamps.
I will give this ink set 2 thumbs up!

I have this set of memento dye inks and they are great. The colors are true, clear colors.Many other inks puddle up on a stamp and will stamp splotchy images the ink on these pads adhere well to stamps and stamp crisp, clean images.
Memento tuxedo black is ideal for stamping when you want to color the image afterwards as it doesn't bleed.
My favorite green is pear tart included in this set.
The shape of the ink pad is helpful when you wish to use two colors on one stamp as the pointed area can get into smaller parts of a stamp without smearing a nearby color.
If you like these colors but want pigment inks try the Memento Luxe inks. Many of the colors are repeated in the Luxe series but the pigment ink is even better then the dye inks in this set for solid stamps. Just be sure to let them dry or heat set the ink.
