The Top 10 Stamping Products of 2007- Happy New Year!
Lat year, I brought you the Top 10 Most exciting Stamp Related Products of 2006.
Here we are at the end of 2007 and with the New Year just around the corner, I present to you:
The Top 10 Most Exciting Stamp Related Products of 2007
Do you have them all? :rolleyes:
10- Still on the list but down a little futher, Prismacolor Pencils with Odoless Mineral Spirits are still hot. The debate still goes on about whether or not Gamsol really is Odorless mineral spirits, but it is, it's an artist grade OMS...okay?- debate over. LOL!
9- Clear Stamps and Unmounted Rubber stamps- With another year under our stamping belts, we easily each collected another 300 sets of stamps and no doubt, the thinner we can make them, the easier they will be to deny so unmounted and clear are here to stay!
8. Stickles Glitter Glue- A newcomer to thetop 10 list this year, we all love glitter but we are tired of watching our husbands go off to work with glitter in their hair. Enter Stickles glitter glue! It comes in over 10,000 colors and of course, you have to have them all! Now we can jazz up everything we make and keep the sparkle under control.
7- Ultra Clean Stamp Cleaner- Why does this get Stazon off better than Stazon Cleaner, huh? WHY?
6-Brads- Has anyone even seen an eyelet in the last twelve months? Brads are everywhere! You can used them to hold things on to your cards and scrapbook pages and now that your teenager has everything pierced, they are a multi-purpose item.
5- The AGS gun- Sounding much like a firearm, this gun shoots out double sided sticky tape like nobody's business. And it's 400 times as wide as mono-adhesive so you can use it to put up new siding on your house too.
4- Sewing Machines- This technique was born out of guilt. So many former quilters made the horible mistake of picking up a stamp and putting it to ink. From that moment on, there sewing machines sat idle in the corner until one of them was brave enough to try to make a quilt out of cardstock and VOILA! Everyone can now sew all over their cards.
3- Tins- Thanks to my buddy Nichole Heady, now you can make gorgeous Hershey's nuggets, place them in tins and look like a rockstar stamper when you're dropping chocolate gifts off to your neighbors this holiday season. In fact, anything made of tin to embellish is hot! For Christmas this year, I stamped up some tin boxer shorts for my hubby.
2- Nestabilities- Thanks to the collaboration of Spellbinders and our own Ellen Hutson, Nestabilities scalloped dies were born. They are a fun way to have all the shapes in every size, from the smallest scalloped square for tiny words on your cards to the largest scalloped rectangle which I used this year to make shutters for my bay window on the front of my house. (Yes, I still love my Marvy punches too.)
And the number one stamping related product of 2007 is...
1- COPIC MARKERS!!! Again, without a whole gang of fabulous concept designers teaching us the ins and outs of these fabulous coloring tools, we would actually still think our old prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits were the only way to shade. Now, because of these talented artists, we not only want to color our images but we want to color everything under the sun from our ribbon to our brads to match. Just make sure when you collect them all that you say, "Of course I can tell the difference between those 17 pale grays...I am an artist!!"
Happy New Year!

I think I read somewhere that the AGS is a smaller version of the ATG. But, I may be wrong, so don't quote me on that!
Nope. I was wrong. the ATS is the smaller version of the ATG (see the bottom of this page: http://www.bluebazaar.com.au/newslet...907/130907.php) Okay, I don't know what an AGS is either ... so, you're not alone! ;)

Hah!!! I'm guilty as charged! I own all. In fact, Dick Blick was running a fabulous sale on Prismacolor pencils that I bought... ready for this... the 120 count set for a FRACTION of the price.
And Stickles have been a hit or miss item. I hoard it. Does that count?
If those Nestabilities are under the tree than I will be one HIP stamping CHICK! I have all the others! (although the Copics are a new acquisition and I am totally not sure how to use them yet!!!)

Nestibilities are next on my list - I have a few Copics but I'm getting a full set of Prismacolors for Christmas...and I have everything else (ATG not ATS though and definitely no firearms! )
