Martha Stewart Crafts Cut and Fold Punch

February 20, 2015

Sometimes I’m just walking through a craft store and a product catches my eye- this was the case with the Martha Stewart Crafts Cut and Fold Punch. I have another brand of cut/fold/tuck dies, so I wondered if the punch would be easier or more versatile to use, so I picked it up to review for you. (Thank you, 40% off coupon!) This punch comes in two parts, like the other “Anywhere on the page” punches. There are strong magnets […]

Martha Stewart Crafts Deluxe Scoring Board and Paper Trimmer

October 21, 2014

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. So of course I thought I should give this combo tool a once-over to see how it works. Let’s take a look. 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 […]

Stamp And Punch from Martha Stewart Crafts by EKSuccess

October 28, 2013

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 […]

Halloween Count-Down Photo Frame using Martha Stewart Crafts Decoupage

October 4, 2013

Halloween is one of my families favorite holidays…and this year it’s even a little more special because we have a foreign exchange student celebrating with us. (Did you know that Halloween and Trick-or-Treating has spread to Italy? Go figure.)   To get geared up, we put out some decorations and I whipped up this little photo frame using Martha Stewart Decoupage materials. The stars of the show are the Multi-Surface Durable Gloss Finish and the Glow-In-The-Dark Finish. But I also […]

Last week I shared a video of the new Martha Stewart Jewelry line available exclusively at Michael’s Craft Stores- so much goodness! Beads, chain, tools, findings epoxy clay, rhinestones, jewelry glaze, jewelry enamel- even mold-making putty! Literally there was so much goodness I haven’t even had time to do all of the reviews.

Martha Stewart Crafts Jewelry Line by Plaid

But now there is something completely new- a line of jewelry crafting items created by Plaid Enterprises and available at Michael’s Stores. The first of our series of reviews will be on the Jewelry Enamel.  From the website: Jewelry enamel mixes like paint and can be added as translucent or opaque shades. When dry, the paint has […]

Paper Angel Ornaments using the Martha Stewart Crafts Circle Edge Punch

December 3, 2012

A few weeks ago the Martha Stewart Circle Edge Punch went live on HSN, and almost immediately I started getting questions about where folks could find the pattern for the paper angel embellishment that was shown on a gift bag. I searched, but couldn’t find a pattern. So I made my own to share with you today!   All you need is one doily made with your Martha Stewart Crafts Circle Edge Punch. I used a 6-inch doily, but you […]

Fall Serving Tray featuring Martha Stewart Crafts Glass Paints

September 17, 2012

Last week I shared my review of the Martha Stewart Crafts Glass Paints from Plaid and you got a sneaky peek of a work in progress. But today you get the whole tutorial of how I transformed a “blah” glass serving dish into a lovely fall focal point! Can you believe that I found a plain chip/dip glass serving platter at an outlet for under $7.00?? And with a little Martha Stewart Crafts Glass Paint and silk screens, I transformed […]

Craft Product Review: Martha Stewart Crafts Pierce and Stitch Starter Kit

August 23, 2012

Sewing has always been my craft of choice, and I incorporate stitching into everything from clothing and home décor to paper projects. So, when I got the opportunity to review the Martha Stewart Crafts Pierce and Stitch Starter Kit from EK Success Brands, I couldn’t wait to try out the specialized tools—especially the piercing mat and templates! When I opened the package, I found that the kit contained everything I needed to do the actual piercing and stitching, so I […]

Air-dry clays are all the rage right now- I seriously have seen 3 new brands pop up on my table in the last 3 months! But today, I’m going to share my experiences with Crafter’s Clay, the new offering from Martha Stewart Crafts (and produced by EK Success.) Specifically, I’m going to talk about the Nature Starter Set and the silicone molds I received. Here’s what’s in the Nature Kit: Here’s how it’s described on the website: Crafter’s Clay Nature […]

Mother’s Day Gift Idea – A Crafty Challenge Using Martha Stewart Crafts

May 2, 2012

I love a good challenge. And I really love it when I get to craft with someone I admire and respect. So this week I was doubly-happy when Vicki O’Dell (the Creative Goddess) visited CTD WHQ (CraftTestDummies World Headquarters) and we cracked into a new box of goodies from the Martha Stewart Crafts “Stitched” line from EK Success. Here’s what we had to work with: We received a lovely selection of paper, tags, labels, borders, and stickers. We both loved […]

December 22, 2011

When the lovely folks at Lion Brand Yarn sent me the Martha Stewart Craftsâ„¢ and Lion Brand Yarn® Knit & Weave Loom Kit—and a giant box of yarn to use while I was trying it out—I was both very excited and completely overwhelmed. With more than thirty configurations for creating square, rectangle, circle, and oval looms in multiple sizes, plus tools for single knitting, double knitting, weaving, and making rosettes, there were so many possibilities that I didn’t know where […]

Craft Product Review: Martha Stewart Crafts Punch-Around-The-Page Punches

July 5, 2011

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. And while I’m a fan, I think I can still objectively say that her punches are pretty fabulous (as are all of the tools that I’ve reviewed so far.) If you are unfamiliar with the Around the Page punches, or are wondering how they work, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get started! Here’s […]

Craft Product Review: Martha Stewart Crafts Embroidery Kits

May 19, 2011

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 […]
