Must Have's Blog Hop

Welcome to the Studio Calico Creative Team Blog Hop. Studio Calico has an awesome promotion this month if you sign up for a new subscription! So a bunch of the Creative Team decided to get together and do a Blog Hop with a list of 5 of our current Must Have Products-making it easy for you to decide what to spend that FREE Gift Card on;) You may have arrived here from Maggie Massey's Blog and if not don't worry I have the full list of all of the participants at the bottom of this post:)

Now trying to decide on just 5 products to showcase was a little hard, as there are so many things in the Studio Calico shop that are now crafting staples for me.

1. The monthly Digital Printables- I always add these to my subscription every month. They are perfect for adding a little something to my cards as well as the printable journaling cards are great for adding to my PL or Scrapbook pages! I have the Office Hours Printables by In A Creative Bubble pictured here.

2. Zing Embossing Powder- Love, Love , Love this embossing powder! It melts beautifully and creates such a beatiful result that adds that perfect little "extra" to a project. You really can't go wrong with any of the colours but Glitter Gold Zing has to be one of my all time FAVS.

3. Mister Huey's Mist- A definate staple in my arsenal of supplies! It is great for lightly adding a fine spray of colour to a project or dropping colourful splatters to add interest and texture. Opague White, Navy and Gold seem to be my go tos as of late.

4. Essential Enamel Dots- I can not get enough of enamel dots! Yes there I said it, I may have a slight addiction. They just seem to be such a great embellishment for any type of project. And they are just the perfect touch to add to a card with out adding a lot of bulk. I have the Gold pictured here but also have a huge fondness for the Woodgrain and Blue and Aqua ones.

5. Color Theory Inks- I really do love how these Dye inks stamp! They give a really nice clean, crisp image and their compact size and stackable design is a real plus for me. Now I don't think I can just choose one colour as my favourite but if I had to narrow it down I would say Deja Blue, Coral Bay and Clean Slate are ones I couldn't live with out.

And here is a look at a card that I made using the gorgeous Office Hours Card Kit as well as the circle stamp from the Water Cooler Add on. Can you spy some of my Must Have products on here?!

Now it is time to head on over to Geralyn Sy's Blog for her Must Have list and be sure to take a peak around, her blog is always full of amazing inspiration!

Here is a full list of the Blog Hop participants- I can't wait to check out their Top Picks as I am sure I will be adding a few more things to my "must have list"!
