Happy Friday
fellow crafters!
Last week a
brand new Michaels craft store opened up in town. Actually, the old Michaels
moved to a newer bigger location, so it’s like having a brand new store
opening.
We went to
check it out on opening day and had a blast. It was so cool to go through each
and every section looking at all the goodies. I was overwhelmed at times, but
it was so much fun, haha. We had a mission to look for new storage for our
paper and we found that. We also were looking to buy our very own heating tool to
emboss our work with. For the past few years we had borrowed Nicole’s mom’s
heating tool, but we felt that it was time to invest in our own. After comparing
two different brands, we decided upon the Recollections Embossing Heat Tool.
Over the weekend,
I was working on some birthday cards and tried out the new tool and here’s what
I have to say about it. First of all, I love that it heated up quickly but it
wasn’t unusually hot. Our old one took a while to heat up and it got quite hot
at times. There was a burning smell at first, but the directions said that was
normal due to it being new. I like the thick cord and the metal stand so that
it doesn’t touch the table directly when it is hot. I also like that it was
slightly smaller and thicker so that it is easier to grip. It heated the
embossing powder quickly and the finished product looked perfect! Oh, it was
quite quiet as well, so Nicole and I don't have to yell at each other when I'm
embossing now. Overall, this is an awesome buy for us and I think it will last
a long time, and I would definitely recommend this tool to anyone who is into
paper crafting. Here's a little look at our new purchase.
