✨ It’s here! The brand-new Spellbinders Glimmer II has arrived at The Craft Corner! ✨
I’ve been waiting rather impatiently for this one to arrive, so naturally I had to open a box and have a play straight away! 😂

I have to say, I’m really impressed. The new Glimmer II is lovely to use and the foiled results I achieved were absolutely gorgeous.

I’ve made a full first-look and demonstration video so you can see the new machine in action, how it works and the results for yourself.

I've been looking at the Hunkydory Tearing Rulers for quite a while now and finally decided it was time to see what all the fuss was about!

I have to admit, I was pleasantly surprised. They're much more versatile than I expected and create six different decorative torn edges that are perfect for adding texture and interest to your crafty projects.

I've put together a quick video so you can see all six tearing effects in action using the beautiful Festive Mat & Layer Paper Pad.

Let me know which torn edge is your favourite! 😊

Ever wondered what's actually inside Crafting with Hunkydory?

I certainly did! 😊

Rather than just looking at the cover, I decided to film my very first First Look & Flip Through so you can see exactly what's inside before deciding if it's for you.

There were even a few surprises along the way, and I think my excitement was rather obvious! 😄

I'd love to know what you think of this style of video.

Have a wonderful weekend!

✨ Louise's Favourite Rubber Stamp✨

Some products fly off the shelves because they're popular.

This one flies off the shelves because it's gorgeous! 😍

The Peaceful Night stamp by Francoise Read is one of my favourite Christmas designs, and yet I've never actually managed to make a sample with it because it always sells before I get the chance.

Maybe this time I'll be lucky... 🤞😄

✨ Made Just For Them ✨

One of my favourite things about card making is the ability to personalise a project for someone special.

A name, a favourite colour, a meaningful image or a special message can turn a handmade card into a treasured keepsake.

This dragon-themed card was created especially for my grandson Kai, and that's what makes it so special. 🐉

When was the last time you personalised a card or project for someone?

I'd love to hear who you've been crafting for recently. 💜

✨ Louise's Favourite Tool ✨

If I had to choose one craft tool that I reach for again and again, this would be very high on the list.

The Spellbinders Wax Seal Kit makes it so easy to create beautiful wax seals for cards, gift boxes, invitations and special projects. It adds that little finishing touch that makes a project feel extra special.

I love how versatile it is, and it's one of those products that always makes me wonder why I didn't start using it sooner!

Do you have a favourite crafting tool that you couldn't be without?

Apparently it's far too early to mention the C-word... 🎄🤫

So let's just say that the latest Crafting with Hunkydory Project Magazine has arrived, packed with seasonal inspiration, festive projects, card ideas and plenty of creativity for the months ahead.

I'm not saying it's a Christmas Special...
..but it definitely isn't full of Easter cards! 😄

Have you started thinking about your seasonal crafting yet, or are you firmly in the "it's only June!" camp?
