My reviews are based on my personal experience with a product or event. I am not a professional product tester nor do I get paid for any of my blog posts.

The items that I post reviews on, have either been purchased on the internet or through a local vendor. Additionally I will review items that I got on sale, as a gift or as a sample from either the manufacurer or some other source.

Note: always read the manufacturers directions on how to properly use a product and craft carefully. Additionally, I am an Amazon Associate and may earn a few cents (literally) from your clicking on my Amazon links. Since they raised the minimum payout from earnings to $10 I haven't seen a credit for a while but eventually I will get one.

Every penny counts when trying to set a budget to get supplies to use for my reviews, tutorials and hauls. However, you do not have to use my links. You can use your favorite search engine to find the best price for your budget.

Tuesday Morning Store Martha Stewart Crafting Supplies Haul


Tuesday Morning Craft Haul

I was so excited to find out that my local Tuesday Morning store had received a shipment of Martha Stewart crafting supplies, so I rushed over to see what items they got in.  I thought I would share my Tuesday Morning Craft Haul purchases with you.
Martha Stewart Neon Glitters

I picked up two of the Martha Stewart 12 pieces Glitter Sets (they had several to choose from).  I picked up the Neon Iridescent glitter set and the Hexagonal Glitter Set. The Neon Iridescent glitter sets sells for $26.99  on Amazon.  I paid $6.99 for my set.  The Neon Iridescent glitter is really pretty in person and each color offers a fine glitter, a star shaped glitter, a diamond shaped glitter, and a hexagon glitter. The last three shapes are great for making shaker cards.
Matha Stewart Hexagon Glitter Set
The Hexagonal Glitter set sells for $17.22 on Amazon and I paid $6.99 for this set at the Tuesday Morning Store.  I consider that a really good deal.  This size of glitter is also good for making shaker cards, decorating Christmas Ornaments and more.

I also picked up the Martha Stewart 10 piece "Stamp Around the Page" Set.  The 10 piece "Stamp Around the Page Set" sells for $ 11.58  on Amazon and I paid $6.99 at Tuesday Morning.

The "Stamp Around the Page" kit comes with:

  • a stamp base
  • a clear mounting block
  • butterflies, fern, and floral branch design stamps (6 stamps total)
  • and instructions
This set is really cool because it has all the parts needed to create borders on cards, tags, etc.  The Amazon price of $11.58 is actually really good for the number of pieces that come in this set.

I also picked up a Ranger Dylusions Journal Insert Sheets set for $1.99.  The Dylusions Journal set sells for $6.99 to $8.9 at various stores.  This set contains:

  • 3 Kraft Inserts (single pages)
  • 3 Black Inserts
  • 3 mixed media Inserts
The paper insert size on these "Ranger Dylusions Journal Inserts" is a bit bigger than the standard travelers notebook page but will fit into an A5 Planner.  I just need to punch a few holes in them.


I also picked up some fun die cuts from K&Company from their Smash Collection and some pocket from American Crafts.  These were also really well priced at under a dollar each.

The next items I purchased were some beads form Bliss Beads that were priced at under $2.00 each.

The last item was an amazing deal.  It is a book called 'Substance of Life" that shows some cool scrapbooking layouts done by 25 different artists.  The book was priced at $2.99 but it had an 80% off sticker on.  I think I ended up paying 25 cents for the book.

I did another Tuesday Morning haul earlier this month where I found some great Tim Holtz stuff. If you know of any great sources for find Martha Stewart or Tim Holtz crafts supplies, please leave me a comment below and share your source.

Christmas Card Craft Projects: Easy Ways to Recycle Old Cards, Part 2

As promised, here is part two of the Christmas Card Recycling kids craft projects we came up.
Todays card is another fun old Christmas card we had on hand that was left over from a previous year.  The colors on this card made it really easy to work with to create a fun recycled Christmas card project.
     The first project the kids made was a door stop.  They used a heavy piece of wood (left over from another project) which they painted black. Then they used some left over paper, ribbon, and rhinestones to decorate the wood block.


We also had some "Martha Stewart" Glitters available for them to use to bring a little sparkle to the card.
Perfect Printing Pouch
       Note: when working with glitter,  to keep the mess to a minimum,  I recommend using the Perfect Printing Pouch which keeps the glitter from sticking to the entire card surface.  It is a handy tool when working with glitter or embossing powders.  I just can not recommend this little gem enough.  
      Once the glitter had dried, the kids used more of the dimensional tape to attach the card to the wood block.  You can find dimensional tape at the local craft store and sometimes the local dollar store.
As you can see, this was a super easy project for them to complete in just a short amount of time.
For the next project, we decided to use a box that originally held some Benefit Cosmetics.  The box is a was trimmed in colors that worked really well with this card.
The box also had a cut out in front that could be used to hold a photo once the product advertisement material was removed.
They just added some rhinestones, a couple of charms, and cut the card down to fit into the frame.

Another super easy quick Christmas card recycling project that gave them fun results.  All of these projects were great because it they were so very easy to complete and held their attention long enough to finish the project.  Plus, I did not have to go out and buy any supplies. We just used what we had on hand.
