Craft Forum

Despite the gazillions of crafting tools and materials out there,  3 things I’ve decided I really need, just don’t seem to exist, or at least I can’t find them.
Has anyone else spent ages searching for a product they have never been able to find? If so what is it?
Can we compile a list of THE CRAFTY PRODUCTS WE WOULD TO SEE?
We can share info on where they might be found or if truly unavailable, who knows, manufacturers may take note.

BTW my wish list is:
flat backed ‘gems’ only with metallic finishes
A die set of Xmas tree ornaments
stamps, or peel offs, with text running vertically

Apologies if this idea is already being done on the forum, and it’s just another thing I haven’t managed to find
Cheers

I dont think this has been done thank you , I wil sticky it for you,
I am lucky having a craft robo as I can make my own peel offs
any direction with the sticky plastic sheets.
but I have seen them especially for xmas at craft fairs.
I am sure there will be xmas die cuts somewhere if you google it
I also do these on my robo xx

yes maggie i have seen the peel offs
Bc you can get them at most craft shops

Thanks for stickying this. I will look for the peel offs. I have trawled the net for the die set, but so far no luck

I have some Happy Birthday Peel Offs that run vertically but for the life of me can’t remember where I got them from but tbh think most online craft shops would do them ... just a case of trawling through sites ... sometimes labourious but oh what mega finds you can generate ... but then my bank balance starts sighing heavily ... lol

The things I would most like are:

Cuttlebug with lots of dies;

DCWV Papers;

Hello Kitty and Disney (esp. Mickey & Minnie) embellishments/decoupage;

More Tilda stamps;

Lili of the Valley products;

Kits/sets with items in that will all be used.

Most of these are out there already but that’s my Wish list at the present time :D

Oh, what a nice idea. Lots and lots of things I would like, sigh, but hoping to get some for my birthday or Xmas. I would like craft machinery, but that’s just a pipe dream, but might get some of the following: jumbo paper punches, metallic paints, crackle paints, 3D paints, drawing inks, paper press, magic stamp blocks, paper stacks Basic Grey, BoBunny, K & Co, DCWV, heat it up tool, embossing lustre powders, print roller, bollio stamp, large stamps, versafine ink pads, sakura pens, large acrylic block, card templates, pop-up ready made cards, paper masks, spray mist paints, more flower soft, more Stickles glitter glues and pearls, glossy accents and heaps more.

i would love squares of fabric (esp pink at the moment) that are bigger than a fat quarter but a lot les than a metre!  i cant seem to find the happy mid point anywhere!

I think Craft creations do the vertical ones - see XL560U

“A die set of Xmas tree ornaments”
I’ve just had a parcel today with these in - see:
http://papermilldirect.co.uk/k-co-complete-christmas-craft-kit

They’re printed on card and double-sided with different colours/patterns on each side. You also get boxes…

Just to add you get 24 sheets of them to pop out and there are 312 items (you also get little flowers, butterflies, dragonflies, etc to decorate them with)

Seaweed, that’s a fabulous kit (I’ve followed yr link to the website) - it’s very tempting, but I’m afraid I’ve already bought a load of Xmas paper and can’t justify buying any more, even to myself (yet)
Bc

Ah….well you’ll just have to ask for it for Xmas then. Go on, beg if need be. I did! Well, I sort of blackmailed my partner into it, otherwise he would have had to take me clothes shopping…the thing he hates most in the world.

Seaweed - like your style! I may have to go down the blackmail route (when he’s forgotten he went shopping with me last week). 
Bc

Did you get the kit? If he doesn’t buy it for you, you’ll just have to punish him by taking him clothes shopping and finding nothing you like until you’ve been to each shop at least 10 times. That’ll teach him…

Seaweed - no still haven’t got the kit, in fact it’s receding into the land of faint possibilities, because I’ve now suggested he buy me a load of embossing kit, starting with a heat gun as I have nothing in this line. I have got some stamps now though (as you can see from the tree card I posted) and some of them are tree ornaments, so I’ll be stamping and cutting out by hand for the foreseeable future. Love the idea of taking him in each shop 10 times, but how do you manage the not buying anything part? 
Bc

At the moment I’m just dreaming about much more time for my hobby… 

Hi Valda and welcome to the forum
That’s what we all want I guess, can never have too much time crafting
