The Things I love 😍 | My Favourite Craft Supplies!

[@PapercutzUksocial]

that hole punch is really nice, the one with the pink handle is the real deal, grey board is really nice stock for use as a backer or stiffener

[@carolannmichaelson]

Hi Sam. Thanks so much for the great video! Just a tip on the Tim Holtz scissors...I saw a demo where he said that the scissors are only serrated on one side/edge, so if you turn the scissors over and keep the serrated edge on the bottom, the perforations won't show on your project.

[@barbsdee3831]

Yes I’ve heard the same Carol Ann, about the serrated edge, turn them over 👍🏼

[@lindadavies6464]

Very informative, it would be nice to see how you clean your gear and sharpen your scissors.

[@beatricerobinson2043]

Yes I would like to see more. Your work is amazing and beautiful. I love watching you create.

[@ThorneyRose]

My metal bit came out of my Tim Holtz ruler too. I glued it back in with a very fine beading of glossy accents.

[@hazelreid4751]

I love it when your Nan comes to visit she is so funny.

[@RoniMai-um9wr]

Hi Sam, it is so wonderful to finally have someone explain the use of items and I thank you. So many young and beginner crafters will find your info so welcoming. like the glue video too. Thanks again.

[@kellypalma1051]

Lots of great information. I heard you say in an earlier tutorial that you just got the Brother scan n cut. Maybe do a tutorial on that or a new project using it. All of you tutorials are so inspirational to me. Thank you for all that you share. I live in the United States and it seems as though the UK has much more of a craft selection than we have. Thank you again for all of your ideas.

[@lindahutchings5394]

I agree about the crafts coming from the UK. Love the magazines and find such interesting articles. I have not been able to find the magazines with Sam in them.

[@patpowell6684]

Linda Hutchings ... hi Linda, until a couple or so years ago the US had much more scrapbooking supplies but we’ve always had a strong crafting back ground. One thing leads to another. I started with cross stitching. I loved doing big projects but also loved small ones that could make cards...that led to paper crafting!!! and all that entails. I’m now into mini albums your side if the pond was very helpful for me, but we are catching up fast 🥰 but I seem to have gone back to the beginning for me because I’ve found “diamond painting” which is like cross stitch but instead of thread and small stitches it’s double sided tape, or glue, on canvas that has been printed with the pattern and you put a small 2.5mm diamond (drill) on the symbol. A bit like paint by numbers. Nice “chatting to you” 💁from Liverpool 🇬🇧

[@lindahutchings5394]

@@patpowell6684 you sound like, I love to craft and have tried so many projects. Including lots of Sam's creations

[@Cards4Cancer]

The craft magazines are available at Paperwishes.com they are in Utah. I agree they have lots more goodies than us. Craft stash has lots of stuff and ships to the states

[@bevp7838]

I did buy the WRMK scoreboard/paper trimmer when I found one on clearance. It’s biggest advantage is how easy it is to do very small scores. I’m right handed and really found 1/8-1/4” scores to be an exercise in frustration trying to hold my paper and see what I was doing with my hands crossed! I probably didn’t really NEED it, but it’s a great game-changer when I am doing those small scores. Thanks for reviewing all these products. If I had seen it 10 years ago, I could have saved some money. Seems like the more expensive products were the ones I didn’t like. Fortunately, we have a thrift store nearby that accepts and sells art/craft/sewing items, so I don’t feel too bad donating. 😊

[@alirossiter8124]

This was such an informative video. Thank you One thing you mentioned a bit was sharpening scissors. How do you sharpen your scissors Sam. Would be great to know or even a mini tutorial. Once again, thank you for all the hard work that goes into making all of your truly great videos xx

[@batvas3]

Serrated Scissors tip! Turn the serrated blade so it hits the underside of the paper ... then you don't have that fringe edge!

[@gaynordenboer8822]

Thanks for sharing. Great advice. Lots of things to want and go and get

[@ingridverberk330]

Thank you Sam for the video. I do like the Tim Holz stamp platform and yes it can be a bit harder to get a good result with the clear stamp. This is why I always use foam underneath my paper when stamping with a clear stamp. It wil give you a crisp image.

[@yelsyels]

I have the guillotine cutter great investment and just found out it is self sharpening! .....trimmers with the small blades fray your paper.

[@gailstubbings8606]

Thank you Sam so so much for your feedback I was given loads of paper crafting and I have been slowly adding stuff as I love creating and I love your studio wish I had a proper one I have a makeshift one and it’s hard as it is in my bedroom lol. Since I have found your channel and your made to surprise range I’ve been inspired so so so much so a huge thank you huni xxx

[@TheyCallMeMartha]

With the Tim Holtz scissors, if you flip them over they should cut cleanly without the perforated edge.

[@lanefe1]

Great video, I regularly use a number of the same products as yourself. Thanks for taking the time to demonstrate.

[@manalhabib9]

I would love to see your craft room💕

[@DebadooCreates]

I'm in the US so I appreciate the heads-up on the beacon 3 in 1 glue. And also for explaining why the collall glue is good. I'd seen Sara Davies with the collall glue last year on HSN, but it wasn't interested in it because it just seemed super messy and she just kept saying it was a really great glue she wasn't explaining that it didn't have the water in it so it didn't buckle and that it would help stiffen your 3D projects. So I'm off to get some Beacon 3 in 1 and try this stuff. Just a tip for the scoreboards. With the stampin Up one you're so right it can be a pain because you end up going off the track a lot. It's a bit of a pain but if you take a piece of wax paper rub it over your card stock and then score you rarely if ever run off the track. So I just keep pieces of wax paper stuck in a little cup or something grab it running over my paper and then score. Love your videos thanks so much

[@Cards4Cancer]

On your scoreboard from Hunky Dorey, if you take a bit of white acrylic paint on the end of your finger and run it across the ruler part, it will leave enough paint to make your numbers easily distinguishable. I hope this will help you. 💞

[@MixedUpCraft]

The numbers are raised and not inset like on the Tim Holtz Guillotine, I done that on that one and it works but it won't do ant good on the scoreboard, shame but its ok. 😀

[@hambeastdelicioso1600]

I could really use a small t-square ruler, I'll look out for one, probably at the dollar store (I'm all about inexpensive stuff). My favorite see-through rulers are the ones you can get at fabric and quilit stores for quilting. They are pricey, but super thick and sturdy; made to use with rotary cutters and they come in every shape and size. My pokey tool came from Harbor Freight (for US folk) and cost me $1.99 and came in a set of four (the other three have different shapes and are good for other crafts). Harbor Freight is also great for inexpensive metal rulers and basic plastic storage.

[@elsieb3176]

Thanks for the video! I'm left handed so have the Tim Holtz Tonic snips, the only truly left-handed snips I could find. As you hold them, the blade with the thumb hole has to be the one toward the right. As long as I keep the serrated blade (the one with the brand name) away from the image, the cut is clean. I agree about guillotine trimmers and have the Fiskars with the 5" x 9" platform and the 6" x 12" Tonic one made for Stampin Up several years ago.

[@pattyd3205]

Lots of great information, Thank You. We all have our "likes" but great to see and have links to some we can add to our collections💖

[@clairegagne6906]

Hi Sam, I, myself, do love these kind of videos you professional crafters make for us. Like Kelly I'm the US as well and have always been inspired by the crafters in the UK, Australia, etc. You are the top of my list of ladies that I follow. Maybe a couple in the US (Texas) for one forgot the other. When I go to a Michael's store I head for the magazines first to see what ones have for the "freebies" that come with the magazines. Keep up the fantastic work and thank you for doing this video. Gives me ideas and I have some of the items you have shown here. I'm not a professional, but do like a good looking job, and you need the good tools to help you.

[@kiavonne]

Thank you, Sam! After watching nearly all of your videos - some multiple times - I can say that I've added many of these items to my stash all ready. My favorites include the Tim Holtz stamp platform (I have the standard and two travel) and guillotine cutter. I've also added the Xcut circle cutter and hole puncher, recently. I received a combination score and guillotine tool from Crafter's Companion by mistake, they told me to keep it as it would be too much hassle to return. I don't use it, though it's nice to have a backup. I cannot get a lot of the items you use, which are not readily available in the US, but I do take care to note what you are using in your videos which helps me to find equivalents. Thanks for sharing all your creativity with us. Happy New Year!

Hey Sam....I just have to say that your craft knowledge/experience is incredibly helpful! I'd like to learn more about designer papers with respect to their weight and what weight to use for particular projects. Thank you so much for this informative video and as always, because of you I have once again expanded my own knowledge in this amazing paper craft journey. Much appreciated and until next time....

[@Suseka61]

Thank you so much for this video Sam.. have really enjoyed watching and will look to add to my crafting stash as a result. One thing that really stood out to me is that you 'killed' a link when a greedy supplier decided to hike his prices having benefited from your recommendation. Not many would do that and just goes to show that you care about your viewers and I also love that you advise folks to look for cheaper alternatives, especially when starting out. I really look forward to what comes next in 2020 - bless you :)

[@jdsaal1992]

I bought the Xcut corner punch last year per your earlier recommendation and I LOVE IT!! Had one from CTMH and it rarely punch the corners smoothly. The Xcut always punches great - even thru several layers of cardstock. Also splurged on the Xcut single hole punch - again happy with the purchase. Really appreciate your recommendations of craft products as it is easier to spend the extra funds knowing I'm getting a great product. Have a wonderful new year!

[@barbsdee3831]

I have the tim holtz stamping platform and after watching several comparison videos bought a Crafts Too Press To Impress Stamping platform It’s just like the Hampton Arts one with the black foam but it has 2 open sides (like the Tim holtz one) so you can use larger cardstock x

[@shennahull2183]

Thank you for sharing your information ,I appreciate your time, have a great evening!!

[@madeleinejordan3619]

A really useful video Sam and I realise, thanks to you, I already have a lot of these. Your videos are so interesting that I tend to watch them in place of the awful programmes on British TV these days. As a retired teacher I want to say that you teach us all in an interesting yet straightforward way and, consequently, I have made many of your projects that have been enthusiastically received by friends and family. I look forward to your future videos and wish you all the very best for 2020.

[@cardsbydannii]

Thank you Sam for the fab video. I love these kind of videos. Jennifer McGuire does similar videos 'my favourite things' and covers different topics like stamps, dies... Of course we would love something like this from you, specially as you are based in the UK but we also know how busy you already are with the videos, product ambassador and all the commission work.

As always Sam, a lovely hour whiled away with a cup of tea as I soak up your tips and knowledge. I was also checking out some of the products on amazon and a nearly new cutterpillar landed in my basket! Oh dear! I look forward to trying it out in the new year. Happy New year to you and I look forward to seeing your projects next year. Thank you very much.

[@ruthoie7626]

Wonderful tutorial. It would be very helpful to see a tutorial on scissor sharpening. Do you have a special tool to do that?

[@debbiekingston5166]

Thank you Sam. I found a couple of products I am considering. Especially a non replacement blade trimmer. I find it so annoying when halfway through a detailed project or multiples of all occasion cards, all of my blades become so dull they leave a fuzzy type edge.

[@helen1125]

Yes I am loving this video, I have the circle cutter from lidl similar to the xcut one it's called crelando, haven't used it much but may do this now.

[@caatandco7848]

Thank you Sam for everything you shared.. lots of insight. Love the tip about cutting grey board (also moved away from the WRMK trim board (only use it for scoring) and thought it was just me that kept ending up with dull blades). Have put a few things on my shopping list such as T-square and Hampton art stamp tool (think the magnets would help me out a lot). Have cleaned up my craft cupboard, anything Xmas related is nicely packed away and am very much looking forward to your next tutorial. :)

I heard that the Tim Holtz scissors only have the serrated side on one blade, so you can turn them over, and cut with the other side when you don't want to use serrated blades. Is this the same on the ones that you use?

Really informative Sam 😊

[@bonneswartzfager4190]

I have no clue how to sharpen scissors. I would love if you could show how it's done. Do you have a Scan n Cut? I had wanted to purchase the higher end one, but when I watched tutorials on it, it wasn't capable of all that it promised. It wasn't cutting intricate script correctly, and it was cutting into the mat just to name two glitches.

I hope I am explaining that where you can understand it. Can you do an affiliate link for Amazon.com as well, is I guess the easiest way to ask.
