Inside: useful tips on how to make your craft supplies last and work longer I have a problem with brushes… I always forget to wash them and as a result I have to throw most of them away because they dry up with all the paint on them and they’re unusable. Does this ever happen to you? Got any craft supplies you can’t use anymore or dried up ink pads, paints or stamps? I once had a Martha Stewart border punch which broke after only using it twice! They sent a new one but it was days after i needed it for my project. We spend so much money on craft supplies and tools only to throw them away when we can’t use them anymore. It’s not only waste it’s also really frustrating when you need to use them and can’t. MOST USED CRAFT SUPPLIES Our craft room is full of supplies, some we use often …

Inside: 25 creative and clever ways to use craft punches in your projects! I was always a big fan of making my own embellishments so craft punches were always a part of my essential tools list.

Inside: introducing the new hot trend in the art world: Artist Trading Coins – what are they and how to make them I have a new obsession: Artist Trading Coins!

Being a jew who lives in Israel I don’t celebrate Halloween but I think it’s one of the coolest holidays in the world. The costumes are great (in Jewish tradition there’s also a holiday where people wear costumes called Purim) but the best thins is the spooky theme that’s associated with this holiday.
