"I think this is a great idea for topping gifts and other uses as well. We are getting closer to the holidays and it is the perfect time to start preparing for wrapping gifts and thinking about working toward having a more organized holiday season. These paper pom poms would be great for gifts, but could also be used for a garlands, even a paper wreath for inside doors. Good one to try very soon!!!"

"These would be a really fun project to do with kids or grandkids! It is really fun to decorate for Fall and these leaves would be nice for a paper garland, for a wreath or for sticking on a window. Crafting with kids helps them with dexterity and artistic creation. My daughter and I used to do crafts together for fun. One time, when she was in college, she brought home a couple of friends and we all crafted for fun one evening. Hoping for grandkids one day to craft with too!"

"I tried this and it was hard to cut uniformly just like paper doilies, so I think a light weight paper would work better. Two more things I think it would have worked better if I had started with a square instead of rectangle and the other thing is to make sure to make enough pleats so the sides touch when the snowflake is unfolded."

The MISTI, also known as Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented, truly is one of the neatest crafting tools I've seen. Its simple hinge design provides consistent stamping every time for the beginner or experienced crafter.

Within each MISTI you'll get 2 magnets, a foam pad and a sample grid paper. The foam pad is used to raise cardstock when stamping with clear stamps; you can use both clear stamps and red rubber cling mount stamps with this tool, so your crafting possibilities are endless. The grid paper makes it easy to layout and aligns your design for best results. Using the magnets you can quickly and easily position your paper or cardstock and you can stamp in the same position every time. It is crucial that you know to keep the magnets apart, though. These magnets are very brittle and strong and can be chipped easily; because of this nature, there is no warranty on the magnets themselves, nor will they be replaced.

The MISTI has been around for just a year, so it's still fairly new and I cannot wait for you to try it out. The base of the MISTI is very smooth, without ridges, so your stamping will be flawless. It's so easy to use! Stick your stamp to the clear side of the MISTI, rub the ink pad on the stamp, and then close the clear lid to stamp on the paper. If your ink pads are a bit dry, you can easily re-stamp in the exact same position without the design getting ruined or having that shadow layer you might get from free-hand stamping.

With having two corners to work with, you can stamp different designs at the same time. Let's say you want a birthday invite and a shower invite; simply put the birthday stamp on top and the shower stamp on the bottom of the clear lid, set up your 2 pieces of paper or cardstock, close the lid and voila! You now have 2 separate invites in one quick movement. This is great for when you need to make bulk items like invitations or thank you cards. Paper crafting has never been so fun!
