5 Crafty Things I'm Loving Right Now - September 2023

[@betyerpwet]

As soon as I saw this, I got myself the same glass mat in their smallest size with your coupon code and it's one of the best deals ever! Thank you! Love the mat, fits my needs perfectly!

Thank you for the reviews, information and Tips. I do love the Misti. I still have the first one too. 🤗

[@pamellaalbright4266]

Awesome information! I don't have most of your favorites but will sure be checking them out. Thank you 😊 The one item on your list I do have is the empress machine. My shoulders had been hurting each time I crafted with my old manual machine (arthritis is not for the faint of heart crafter) but now that is just a memory since I got my empress a little over a year ago. So glad you are telling others about this awesome machine. I use the regular and the mini matts too, plus I understand the extended matts will go through as well (they're on my wish list for now though) Thank you! Happy Crafting 💌

Thanks for your honest review of these items!

You can never have too many Misti’s! I just ordered the rose quartz Misti. It will be my third Misti. And I find it’s not enough because I do multiple layers and stamping at once. I totally get it 😁

Thanks for sharing! Love your enthusiasm

Thanks for sharing your experience. Kristina Werner uses the Anna Griffith also and has great results. If I had the space, I might like it. I better stick to my Big Shot Plus. I purchased the press tool for the MISTI in the rose gold color. I never thought I needed it, but it helps so much.

You’re the best. I don’t know how many years I’ve used the Anna griffin machine. I do know that I bought it when it first came out on HSN. I never could understand why none of the crafters used that machine in their videos. I have the mini as well as the original size and I also have a hand crank one that’s smaller than the mini but it works great too. I know you can buy elongated mats also.

I LOVE my Empress machine! Thank you for the spellbinder's scissors review! You can never have too many scissors! :)

I have the GO PRESS AND FOIL foiling machine, and it goes through the Empress! X

[@carissawiley]

Good to know!

[@carriejones5776]

Love every one of these!

[@Pattilrfour]

I loved your video. Of course I had to order the rose quartz misti. Thank you for all five the great things.❤

[@patriciariddle2997]

Loved all the tips! I have a glass mat but not that one. I just got the Waffle Flower grip mat for my Misti. I want another for my baby Misti.

Hello from Western NY. Great products, wish I had that Rose colored misti, I took an in live with that color. TFS.

[@monkeyta615]

I just bought the anna griffin machine i hope you get the credit for.

[@huginanenvelope]

I love my glass board mat and have bought 2, the Misti 2.0 rocks, hmmm going to have to checkout the grip mat, and I do need another pair of scissors.

[@debhiott8790]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the Anna Griffin Empress machine. I am really interested in the Glimmer machine but see now that it will not work with the Empress.

❤️❤️❤️

[@marilync9271]

Great video, thank you for the reviews!!! I do have a question. Do you leave your grip mats in your misti at all times? Or do you just use it in the misti and then place the grip mat back between the protective sheets that came with it? Thanks again!

[@carissawiley]

I leave them in at all times and clean them as needed.

Hello from PA!

[@chrisjones9324]

Can you share the link for the turntable you have your empress machine on?

[@carissawiley]

Yes. Here you go! annagriffin.com/product/craft-lazy-susan/

[@deewilkes4727]

Thank you for these reviews. They’re really helpful. I’ve been wrestling with the idea of the Anna Griffin machine for a while. To be honest it’s the colour that puts me off. Would prefer a white, but it does seem to have very good reviews. Could I ask what the foil plate you used to demonstrate the Waffle Flower mats is please?

[@carissawiley]

Hi. That’s the Pinkfresh Studio Winter Berries set. Here is an affiliate link. ldli.co/e/761xkq3

Thanks for the recommendations. Jeannine

[@melodiefreund2026]

Misti grip mat question. When you use it, I am guessing you won’t need to use magnets anymore? Just curious.

[@carissawiley]

For the most part the answer is no. However, today I was using a piece of warped card stock (from heat embossing) on the grip mat and found it needed a tad more hold so I used the magnet in addition to the grip mat. The magnet still works with the grip mat in place.

[@melodiefreund2026]

@@carissawiley Thank you for the info. I love my Misti but get frustrated with the magnets. Sounds like a purchase I need to make.
