Cricut Craftiness
I love using my Cricut machines to make fun projects!
This case works perfect for my Joy Xtra! Plus I love the color too
Carrying Case for Cricut Joy Xtra 13.7"L
Going from carrying my Air2 machine (quite larger) on trips to the Cricut Joy has been a game changer. Sure, I can't create large projects but I've been able to cut vinyl cutouts and cardstock for layered cards. I've been able to make cards as well. ...
Cricut Joy™ | Cutting Machine & Crafting Bundles
To me, the Maker is a powerful tool that can cut more than just cardstock and vinyl even though that's what I mainly use it for. I recently got some magnet material I am excited to use and I've also done print + cut to make personalized stickers.

This light board (the one I have) can be charged and taken on the go. You can use it for weeding projects or even for Diamond Dot art.
Cricut Craft Lights: Illuminate Your Projects
After having this for a year or longer, I broke it out of its box to make some logo mugs for a girls camp I go to every summer. It was perfect and I was on a roll, making a mug at a time. Each one took a few minutes to set up, click in and then wait ...

Paints & Pens
Seriously these are my favorite. So good. I love the colors and coverage.

I won these paint pens in a recent giveaway from Plaid and I like them pretty well. The finer tips are nice for details. A few pumps (15-20) get the color starting to flow.
Apple Barrel ® Multi-Surface Paint Pen Sets - Basic Colors, 12 pc. - 6233
It was my first time getting these pens and I think they are alright overall. Some of the colors are really pretty. The yellow is really too light to me and one of the pens has ink that skips but for the price, I'd say they aren't bad.
Mr. Pen Retractable Gel Pens 8 Pack Pastel
Fun to use and I feel like they have held up well
Dacono Double Line Outline Pens, 12 Colors
I have so many of the Loddy Doddy products. Many of the paint pen colors in thick and thin and also a bucket of their chalk. Very good quality!
Loddie Doddie | Chalk Markers, Chalkboards, Dry Erase & More
I learned about KingArt a few years ago and luckily you can find their products in stores or you can order online. I have not been disappointed with any of my purchases. I will feature more besides these gel sticks at some point.
Gel Sticks: Offering Creamy Smooth Pigments That Blend Easily
Besides the Sharpies I featured in my list, these are next up. Being double sided is so useful. The finer tip side is pretty good for finer detail but not too fine. The coverage is really good. I love that I found these!
KINGART Twin-Tip Acrylic Paint Pens, 24 Colors
These work well for me and I love that you can create different looks using the pencils wet or dry
Watercolor Pencils: Pigment-Rich Cores Blending Wet or Dry
These are my go-to pens for sublimation. The colors make look a bit dull on paper but once you add heat, they brighten up a lot! I've decorated ribbon, made zippered pouches and luggage tags just to name a few.
Artesprix Sublimation Markers

This has worked great for my light board and Diamond Dots and tools
Luxja Carrying Bag for A4 Light Pad & Tools

Nice to have to help get the tiny bubbles off the top of the resin once it is poured
