Make your own Shimmer spray

Tim and I had an ongoing argument as to whether you could effectively makeyour own spray in Mini Misters with Perfect Pearls...I will admit he was right and I was wrong...but the key is to also use reinkers with it!
  1. Fill Mini Mister 1/3 with water.
  2. Add 1-2 "end of the paintbrush" of Perfect Pearls into Mister, then use the end of the brush to mix it.
  3. Add a dropper full of coordinating Distress Ink reinker.
  4. Fill remainder with water. Be sure not to overfill, because when you put the mister part back in it will displace the liquid and you will get pearly, inky hands! :-)
  5. THOROUGHLY shake.
  6. Mark the side of the Mister with the color ink!
I've got a set of these now and have used them in my classes...what a blastthey are to use with masks, backgrounds, etc.

]]>Cropadilehttp://csaddicts.wetpaint.com/page/Cropadilejaineparrhttp://csaddicts.wetpaint.com/page/Cropadileadded review of crop-o-dialTue, 22 Jan 2008 02:23:33 CST Beth R. in NC

The handles are a bit wide. If you have arthritis, this could be tricky to use. I would recommend trying it out in a shop if that's your situation. It cuts through almost ANYTHING! I would buy it just for this and the ease in punching a straight line of holes. It will punch through chipboard without a problem. I would recommend it over a japanese screw hole punch if you only needed to punch holes at the edge of something. The only drawback is that you can only punch holes or set eyelets to a 1" depth. I absolutely love this tool and think it's something every scrapper should have.

I also find the handles a bit wide for comfort and I don't have arthritis and I do have a pretty large hand. Positives- it punches holes easily and sets eyelets and such quietly. Negatives- handle size, weight, and it won't reach the middle of a page. If I were packing for a crop and had to pack light, I'd leave this tool and make sure I packed my screwpunch and my hammer and setter set.

]]>Cricuthttp://csaddicts.wetpaint.com/page/Cricutjaineparrhttp://csaddicts.wetpaint.com/page/Cricutadded a review of little CricutTue, 22 Jan 2008 02:11:31 CST Just an FYI for anyone interested in the Cricut--If you live close to Michael's they would be happy to demo the Cricut for you. You can bring in your own paper and try it out yourself. They also have CROP NITES once a month, and the Cricut is available for use. They may have a rep. working the machine, or they may allow you to cut the paper designs yourself. Either way, you can use your own paper. You can ALSO BRING IN YOUR OWN CARTRIDGE. So my decision (to buy one) would be based on if I could wait each month to have my cuts made by Michael's and not have to invest in the machine.

---

JoAnn ETCs that sell the Cricut will do that for you, too. All you have to do is ask. One member who works at JoAnn's adds that shoppers can play/work with it on Scrap Social nights.

---

Another suggestion is to bring your own pieces of Club Scrap's paper so you can see how it cuts our gorgeously textured CS card stock.---I have the regular Cricut and, yes, it cuts CS paper, you just put the cutter at 4 and on the bug at 4 also. About the Cricut expression, it's nice if you have $300 to give away.

---

From Lisa--Paper Artist: I've had my Cricut for almost a year now, and I love it. It's great to be able to cut letters for my page titles from Club Scrap paper. It cuts from 1 inch to 5 inches--can't imagine using letters bigger than that. I've read that every machine is a bit different, though, and the settings for cutting CS paper on one machine might be different from the settings on another machine. I use "6" for my blade depth (that's the longest setting) for most CS cardstock. Lower numbers caused me to use my scissors too much for parts that weren't cut completely. For the pressure dial, I usually use "5" which is the max setting. And for speed, I've slowed it down to "2" (slow) because the letters were getting torn by the blade on higher settings. I am frugal with a capital "F" and would much rather spend my money on CS stuff than anything else, so I was disappointed that the cutting mats lost their stickiness after only a few uses. I have solved that problem by running vellum adhesive in the areas where I place the paper. The paper sticks great, but doesn't stick as much as when I tried other adhesives. I've now been using the same two mats for nearly a year and haven't opened the package of replacement ones I bought before I devised this "trick."

---

I have the original Cricut. I've had no problems with cutting CS paper. Based on features, I would definitely go for the Expression if I was buying one now. BUT, and this is a big BUT, do you have space for the Expression? I have a corner of my living room for scrapping which means limited space and it would be really difficult for me to find a place for the Expression to fit. The mat used in it is 24" long, so you need that much clearance space behind it. The original Cricut doesn't take up nearly as much space and would be much more portable if you wanted to take it to crops also. I'm not sure of the best place (price wise) to get one but if you join the Cricut yahoo group you can ask there, plus on that list people always share where they got the latest and greatest deal.

---

My 2 cents. I love it! I bought the original Cricut a few months ago when they dropped under $150. Now that they can be found for under $100, I say go for it. It takes a bit of experimenting to get the right settings -- use those pops! I've been able to cut even Surf's Up on it. Where they get us, of course, is the cartridges. But I've been watching for sales and not paying full price for them. I don't have a judgement on the new Cricut, but personally, I'd rather buy paper and embellies rather than spend that much money on a tool.

---

I have the regular Cricut, and it will cut the CS paper, but there are times when it needs a little help. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It doesn't cut the sort of things that I want to cut, and there aren't that many cartridges that I want. If I purchase another one, it'll be a Wishblade so I can run things from my computer. When I can find an application for it, I use it. But it doesn't always cut all the way through the CS paper and I have to finish the cut with my craft knife. But when it works, it works well. Guess I'm really not all that much help after all. LOL

---

I would definitely get the newer edition. I have the older one and really annoyed that I didn't wait a few months for the new one. In regard cutting CS paper I have not had a problem. You can alter the settings for different types of paper.

---

I haven't had problems with it on CS paper. the old one only cuts on 4x11 paper but cheap, the new one cuts on 8-1/2x11 but more expensive now. Problem is really the cost of the cartridges. given the limited capability, I would go for the older one and spend the extra on the cartridges. Just my opinion.

---

I bought one this month at work/Joanns. I was able to play/work with one before I purchased it because of my job. I LOVE it.. I have spent WAY TOO Much $$ this month buying cartridges and have 2 more on the way (Disney Princesses). I have the BIG one. I have had some problems cutting CS card stock, but I just up the pressure and do it again.

---

I have a little Cricut and I'd only use the larger one to make larger boxes. I don't teach school and I'm not into Disney very much. Most of the new cartridges don't appeal. I use it to cut shapes andtitles. The little Cricut cuts paper up to 6x12 inches. I keep ugly scrap paper near my Cricut to test the sizes and so on. There was a bit of a learning curve after I understood what all the dials and settings were for. I had to learn to check pressure, size and speed every time I put a piece of paper into the Cricut. If I didn't, then I always had at least one of them set wrong.

Cards are to be made with Club Scrap/Stamp materials and sent to the recipient by the 20th of the month. Recipients then post the card to the group as well as to the OCAM folder for that month.

It's lots of fun making a card for someone else in the group--whether you have met her in person or not. It's even more fun (in my opinion) to get a card from someone else on the list! It's great to see the different styles of cardmaking.
