You can apply these systems to metals, wood, fabrics, and paper - so many endless possibilities. Many of these kits have started shipping and are now available.

Hampton Arts - Licensed Stamps & Die Systems. Hampton Arts introduced over 24 different new licensed stamp sets this year with companies like Graphic 45, 7Gypsies, JiliBean Soup, Authentique, Doodlebug, Ki, Bella Boulavard and Eco Park. There were so many gorgeous stamps in their booth that it is difficult to list them all here. These partnerships insure that you have all your favorite designs to match your favorite new paper collections of 2013. Hampton Arts also partnered with Sizzix to bring you many of these stamps as combo sets of stamps and wafer dies that make fussy cutting a thing of the past. Among my favorites were the set from 7 Gypsies with its nostalgic frames, sports, and food themes. Look for these releases in Mid March.
Plaid - ModMelts These are faux resin glue sticks that you melt into silicone molds with your high temp glue gun. They have two styles available that were specially formulated for creating durable
embellishments. Sea Glass is the clear stick and this creates a beach glass
look. Milk Glass is the white stick and it creates a look of vintage milk
glass. Cooled Mod Melts can be altered with a variety of finishes. You can
use acrylic paints, shimmer mists, alcohol inks, glitter, nail polish,
metallic paints, pearl paint and even embossing powders on either stick.
Of course I could keep going and going, but I wanted to bring you the top 5 products that are going to enhance your beautiful paper crafting projects, and really maximize your dollar. Did you have a favorite CHA release that I didn't list? If so, share it on the Artsy Addicts Facebook Page.
