Christmas Crafting on City TV

So one of my favourite parts of being in the crafting and photography industry (other than hosting tropical vacations like Crop and Cruise!) is doing regular TV segments with an assortment of people and products!!!

This week we got to play with Jill Belland and Christy Riopel at Foundations for the Future Charter Academy with these crafty students...

Jill is always great to work with as a host and this time she brought along another beautiful lady named Kristin who is training to be TV host so we let her practice on us throughout the morning!!  She also did great so be sure to watch for her in the future :)

So we played and crafted with Westcott Trimmers, Stix2 adhesives, Harmonie and Kiki Art papers, a ton of stamps, papers and these 3 main tools...

The Bind-it-all machine from Zutter is a fantastic tool for binding a wide assortment of projects!!  Check out what Christy Riopel designed using this machine...

An advent book... 25 little envelopes to hold special somethings leading up to Christmas!!

 Next she took a bunch of old Christmas cards and "recycled" them into this fun mini-album!!!!

Zutter also sells Cover-alls that go all the way up to 12x12 seen here... they come in Black and White and are perfect for decorating (this one I simply attached a 12x12 layout made with all Kiki Art products to the front and voila!!!

A close-up of this layout leads us to our next two fun tools we played with...

The Marvy Border Punch allows you to do 8 different beautiful and substantial borders on cards and up to 12x12 in seconds!!!

The I-Rock tool allows you to apply the bling to projects and cards and even fabric and wood in seconds as well!!

 Here are a few of the cards and tags we created using the Marvy Border Punch and the I-Rock...

A huge thanks to all the students from FFCA and to Christy, Jill and Kandi for helping us pull this all together for a super fun morning of crafting :)  See below post to find out where you can purchase these great tools and products!!!!

I will try to post the video from the morning real soon!!!  Meanwhile, Merry Christmas everyone!!!!

as I'm going to be LIVE on location with Jill Belland and Christy Riopel filming from Foundations for the Future Charter Academy school with a bunch of crafty students!!!!

Check out some of the super fun projects, tools and supplies we are going to play and create with:

All crafters need to start with some awesome basics like a trimmer and scissors and I am LOVE LOVE LOVING these ones from Westcott!!!  The trimmer has a scoring blade that just "parks" itself until you need it so making cards is especially a breeze!!!!!  And these Blooms scissors come with a handy carrying case that goes around your neck so you're never hunting for your scissors!!!!

This Border Craft Punch from Marvy Uchida is a cardmaker and scrapbooker's dream tool!!!  It does 8 different decorative edges quick and easily even up to 12 inches long!!!

Also from Marvy are these Puffy Velvet Markers!!!!  You simply draw or write with them, let it dry then heat it and watch it miraculously puff!!!  Sooo much fun especially for kids!!!

And because on every project a little bling must fall, we are going to bling up our projects with the I-Rock tool from Imaginisce!!!!   This new tool is PERFECT for attaching bling to paper, fabric, wood and more!!!

I-Rock crystals and rocks come with adhesive already on the back and you simply place where you want it and heat it with the I-Rock tool and voila!!!!  And look how many you get in the package (and such cute packaging!!!!  The perfect Christmas gift for the crafty girl in your life!!!!

And binding your artwork and projects is a dream using the Bind-it-all tool from Zutter!!  This cool tool allows you to create your very own journals, mini-books, calendars and more!!!!
