Five Fun Fave Finds on Friday!

I'm back with another episode of Five Fun Fave Finds on Friday or F to the 5th Power! In these videos, I share some new cardmaking supplies (or new to me supplies) and share what I like about them so you can see them up close and decide if they are something you would be interested in.
This week we are taking a look at (1) Alcohol Ink Cardstock and papers. I really love the new Translucent Alcohol Ink paper!
As well as (2) the new Alcohol Ink Alloys (and a couple of new alcohol ink colors).
After trying the new Alloys, I am definitely a fan. Pretty sure I like them even better than the Mixitives!
Next up we'll look at Gina K Designs Crystalline Drops.
The colors of these are stunning, but even more amazing is how much dimension you can achieve AND how they round out on their own to create perfect drops!
Next we'll take a look at Memory Box's Open Studio Fairy Sugar:
These are jam packed with glitter and come in the prettiest colors!
And last but not least, we will check out the new Waffle Flower Patterned Paper JJ's Rainbows pad and how it was meant to be used behind the Panel dies illustrated by JJ Bolton.

If you're interested in the products in this episode they are linked down below, but be sure to check out the video too because you really get a closer look at everything and see it in action too!

Stay safe, stay healthy and I'll see you again soon!

F to the 5th Power - Top 5 Crafty Storage and Organization Supplies!

Hi everyone! It's been a while since I posted an F5th power video and today's is a special episode! Today I am sharing my top 5 favorite crafty storage and organization supplies!
First up, I get asked a lot about ink pad storage. I have been using the Best Craft Organizer Portaink storage for years. They are much more affordable than some of the other wood organizers I have seen, which saves me money so I can buy more ink pads lol!

I love that they fit so many ink pads in one unit and that there is room at the top for re-inkers, stamp cleaners and other items.
Next up, is my favorite way to store ink cubes.
My collection of ink cubes started with Distress Ink cubes, but it has taken on a life of it's own with these Gina K for Therm O Web cubes and the Simon Says Stamp Hybrid cubes too!
I like that I can keep my Distress Ink foam blenders under the cubes too! Speaking of foam blenders...I DONT like to keep my foam blenders under my Distress Oxide pads because I don't like getting ink on things when I set them down. So instead, I use a sheet of my Ink Swatch storage, which is basically a coin holder.
If you are not already using Jennifer McGuire's method to swatch your inks, you must check it out (I have it linked in my video below). 
Next up, is the Queen and Co Trunk storage!
I love keeping all my Queen and Co shaker Toppings in one place and if I am crafting on the go, there are latches and a handle!
Finally, I wanted to share my favorite Interdesign Storage bin.
I have several sizes of the Interdesign bins to store many different items, but this divided bin is the perfect way to store my stamps and dies. I have two next to each other and I love that the Avery Elle Stamp and Die Storage pockets fit inside perfectly!
Want to see all these products up close? Check out this week's F5th Power video:

F to the 5th Power - Five Fun Fave Finds on Friday 4


After another break (getting anything done in the summer is rough!!) I am back with another episode of Five Fun Fave Finds on Friday.
The first thing I am focusing on this week are several of the new Distress Oxide Ink colors. It's no secret that I am a big fan of the Distress Oxide Inks. They are so easy to blend, they react so well with water and they stamp beautifully! So I was super excited to see that this release includes many of the bright colors from the Distress Ink family.
While this is not technically not a crafting supply, I grabbed this pen set from Anthropologie the other day and thought they would be perfect for planners!
 I love the way they write and the encouraging sentiments are so fun! They also have a nice weight to them and feel well made.
 Next up are the Sentiments Dies from Waffle Flower. I love how these die cut perfect sentiment strips that would be great for cards or layouts!
 These are not new, even to me, but the Avery Elle stamp and die pockets are a MUST for organizing all my new stamps and dies and keeping them looking nice.
 Finally, we have the Tim Holtz Tonic Studios Guillotine trimmer. I am loving keeping this trimmer out on my desk where I do most if my card making. It cuts tiny slivers that are perfectly straight and I really like how they have so many most-used card and photo sizes right on the base.
 That's it for this week! My kids actually go back to school in just a couple of weeks so I am hopefully to have more time to be consistent with this series. If you would like to check out the former videos I have created in this series, you can check out the playlist HERE.  If you are interested in any of the products from this week's episode you can find them all linked down below.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
