jean said...

THer o web has been in my live for many years, its good and sticky for cards and sewing projects!!! awesome prize package!!!

Janet said...

I have purchased many rolls of deco foil, adhesive pens and foam adhesive. I would like to make my Christmas cards with some of the many AI stamps that I already own. But I already have my eye on the new AI Santa set.

Kelly said...

OMG!! Thank you for the chance to win!!

FoggyButtner said...

I'm a new card maker, and I love using deco foil and other Therm O Web products (sewing projects too), even bought a laser printer just so I could use primarily for foiling - although my husband doesn't know that. ;) Although I'm not much of a colorist (learning!), I do have a few of the Ai stamps. They're just too cute/funny to by-pass. Really enjoy looking at all the posted cards. So much creative inspiration!

Christi said...

I love the Xmas Collection and there is always bling to add to projects...the thermoweb is fun to use and I'm always fascinated by how well it transfers to projects with adhesive or on toner.

Unknown said...

I have so many Art Impression stamps and love them all, although missed the one at the show in Arlington TX was under the weather for that one.

Unknown said...

I have a ton of Art Impressions stamps and I use DecoFoil constantly. I make cards for my churches shut-ins and nursing home residents. They love anything shiny! I've listened to them laugh at the Art Impressions and laughter is good for the soul. I'd be honored to win!!
