It seems like glass painting is all the rage lately- and now Plaid is hopping on the bandwagon with Martha Stewart Glass Paints. As you may remember, I reviewed the Martha Stewart Craft Paints and they were purported to work with glass, too. (Actually, I tried them and they worked great.) So why the specialized line?

Craft Product Review: Martha Stewart Crafts Punch-Around-The-Page Punches
Disclaimer: I am a fan of the Martha Stewart Crafts line of tools and consumables. And I went to participate in her show last March.

Craft Product Review: Martha Stewart Crafts Embroidery Kits
When I was first given the opportunity to review the Martha Stewart Crafts Embroidery Kits, I was a bit nervous. While I’m certainly not an expert stitcher, I’m not new to embroidery, so I wasn’t sure that I would be able to objectively judge the quality of the directions and the ease of use of the kits. But, as it turned out, my previous knowledge was a good thing—it forced me to really slow down and follow each step just […]
Craft Product Review: Martha Stewart Crafts Scoring Board
I shared part of this review on CraftsUnleashed.com as a member of their design team & ConsumerCrafts.com provided me with the Score Board. I’ve seen scoring tools around the craft world for years now, and I always kind of scoffed at them. I would always just use my metal-edged ruler and a bone folder to score with. Why buy something extra? Well, after trying out the Martha Stewart Scoring Board for the past 3 days, I can already tell you […]

Martha Stewart Crafts Deluxe Scoring Board and Paper Trimmer
A while back I got a request from a YouTube fan asking me to compare the Martha Stewart Crafts Deluxe Scoring Board and Paper Trimmer to another scoring/trimming tool.

At first blush, it’s pretty impressive- it has a movable cutting arm, on-board tools, and envelope tool AND a bunch of easy-to-follow project templates . Here’s how it’s described […]

Cool2Cast Product Review
When Jenny asked me if I was up for trying out Cool 2 Cast, I thought it sounded like fun. I’m always up for trying new things. Cool2Cast has been on the market for a couple years, but it is new to me. Although I’m a big fan of fabric, my hot glue gun is never put away for too long, and I like trying new media all the time. Cool2Cast sounded like a great way for me to try […]
Stamp And Punch from Martha Stewart Crafts by EKSuccess
Today’s review is kind of a lark. I had purchased these punches MONTHS ago at a discount store, and in true Jenny fashion squirreled them away and mostly forgot about them. It’s amazing how a few hours of studio cleaning can remind you of the things you own- (!!) so I dusted them off, broke them open, and got ready to play with the Stamp and Punch sets from Martha Stewart Crafts by EKSuccess. As the name implies, these are […]
