~~ Itty bitty things & some favorites atm ~~

Posted by Ania On Tuesday, December 06, 2011

Right now there’s a Simple Stories exchange thingie with Maya Road, which means we get to play with their products combined with Maya Road stuff. Here’s what I created for it – an itty bitty gift (this one was fun to make! Both the gift itself and the embellished wrapping). And as usual with these product exchanges, there’s chances to win stuff! :)

I thought I’d share my favorites atm – right now this crystal star pin is a HUGE favorite from Maya Road. I so need more of these! *loves*

See the star pin once again? Yepyep!
Another product favorite: Crackled accents (the ones I’m using are from Ranger), as used on the butterfly here! Both the bottle/tube one called crackle accents and the distress crackle paint – rock candy (the other crackle paint types are utterly cool aswell).

Another favorite, or perhaps I should say a must, is the Raisen’s from Glue Arts. I use it on seriously pretty much everything, burning through my stack atm :/ It’s like pop up glue dots, invisible and of perfect thickness to give a subtle dimension…and so far it’s been pretty darn sticky aswell :)

 

Disclaimer: yes yes, I’m on the dt of a few but not all of the products’ manufacturers mentioned as my faves. Still allowed to share which products of theirs which’s my fave atm, no? :)

    the itty bitty gift is so darling, I love the combination of string, lace, pin, wood, etc... the little bits. And nice instagram photo on your twitter side bar. Looks like an absolute blizzard!
