Crocodile Stitch Fashions

With cold weather just around the corner, our creative hands turn to projects designed to keep us warm. Check out Crocodile Stitch Fashions by Annie's and learn a new crochet stitch while creating one of the eight beautiful accessory designs.

Crafter's Clay

Give clay crafting a try with Martha Stewart's crafter's clay kits. The kits include silicone molds, clay, detailing tools, floral wire and tape, and an instruction booklet with a color-mixing chart.

VersaSpin 360

Need a way to elevate and easily rotate your fall painting projects? The VersaSpin 360 may be just what you need. This helpful tool allows access to all sides of a painting project without touching the wet surfaces. It rotates as needed to make painting fast and easy.

Fuse Creativity System

Fiskars Fuse Creativity System is a letterpress and die-cutting machine that will help make your fall decor projects a breeze. You can use it to die-cut a shape, or die-cut and letterpress (ink the pattern) at the same time, or letterpress only, or emboss a pattern only, or emboss and letterpress at the same time! Imagine the possibilities! Since it cuts, embosses and letterpresses -- all requiring only one pass through the machine -- it will save time and materials.

You don't have to worry about slippage resulting in ruined pieces. The system uses only one plate so it's easy to use. An adapter kit is available so you can use other companies' dies and plates too. The machine comes with a manual, cutting and base plates, a black ink pad, and a scalloped circle die with two letterpress plates.

Additional design sets (each includes a die and two letterpress plates) and expansion packs (includes four letterpress plates that coordinate with a design set) are available for purchase to further expand the possibilities. Cutting dies are stackable for easy storage and labeled on the top and side for easy identification. The base folds and the crank swings in and locks for easy storage, and a built-in storage compartment holds dies, letterpress plates and other accessories.

EK Success fall-themed products

EK Success has created a lot of fall-themed papers and embellishments. My favorite is the Brenda Walton Haunted Chalkboard Adhesive Chipboard that has a chalkboard surface for a lot of possibilities. You might also find their large maple leaf punch and Bats large edger punch helpful when creating your fall decor projects.
