Toot! Toot!

Not to toot our own horn, but we're just SO excited about our latest news! Three of our awesome National Geographic craft kits have been singled out and awarded prizes by Creative Child Magazine! This means so much to us because these awards are chosen by moms, music educators and early education professionals rather than stuffy old judges with no knowledge of what kids LOVE!

Receiving the 2012 Seal of Excellence, our Sumi-e Artist Kit explores Japanese painting techniques. Your child can create a one-of-a-kind scroll masterpiece using an authentic bamboo brush and ink. They can also stamp their finished piece with their own personalized chop! This kit takes refrigerator art to a whole new level!

Next up is one of my personal favorites! Our Confetti Sculpting Paper-mache Kit rocks and Creative Child thought so too! They awarded it the 2012 Preferred Choice Award. Included is an instruction guide to create an erupting volcano, but if you're not interested in fiery explosions, we also showcase a bunch of other ideas to get your imagination going. 

 And lastly but by no means leastly (leastly?), only one product per category can win the coveted Toy of the Year Award and WE DID IT! Our Dinosaur Fossil Sand Clay Sculpting Kit is just so cool! You can create your own dinosaur fossils using clay that looks just like sand and if you really want to show off, you can make a dinosaur tooth necklace that will wow everyone you meet!

Check out these and many more National Geographic craft kits at your nearest Walmart or JoAnns Superstores!

What crafts do your children LOVE to create? Answer in the comments below for your chance to win one of three fabulous National Geographic craft kits.

Up for grabs are the Stencil Artist Kit, Junior Botanist Set and the Dinosaur Fossil Kit.

Contest ends August 22nd, midnight est.

Good luck!

One Sunny Day and Daisy Dear Now at Archiver's!

Archiver's released a video sneak peek of some of their new products just in time for Mother's Day shopping and we were thrilled to see the Heidi Grace boutiques One Sunny Day and Daisy Dear featured!  (Molly just raves about the printed alphabet punch-outs and coordinating raw chipboard punch-outs, saying "You can put titles on about a million pages.") 

Check out this clip of the video:

 

There's a new stamp in town!

We are all in love with our new Cloud 9 and Heidi Grace rubber cling stamps! If you've always adored the versatility of an acrylic stamp but craved the clear detail you get from a rubber stamp, these are for you!

Try them and you'll see!

Check out the advantages:

• You can mix and match the designs to create one-of-a-kind projects.

• They'll cling to any smooth surface. No more acrylic blocks necessary.

• The washable adhesive backs can be used over and over again.

• The detail is amazing while still being inexpensive and so versatile!

 Here are a few projects we made!

Find them at JoAnn's Craft and Larger Superstores! Enjoy!

Christmas is coming..and everything's a dollar!

Okay, I know many of you are groaning as you read this post and thinking "Christmas already?!" but a brand-new batch of holiday value items is hitting the shelves next week and we didn't want you to miss out on the festivities. I happen to be one of those maniacal people who usually start getting in the holiday spirit before Halloween is even here, so when our samples arrived, I immediately queued up the Elf soundtrack and transformed the patterned paper packs into this festive window display. 

  

You can find the tutorial I used here. These pinwheels are great for so many things - look how cute they are as gift toppers! I think they would also be adorable as handmade ornaments and decorations on wreaths and gift bags. 

These are the patterned paper packs I used for my window display, along with coordinating red and green glitter paper packs, all of which will be available at JoAnn's Craft and Larger Superstores and A.C. Moore.

In addition to the papers above, A.C. Moore will have a whole line of coordinating accents and embellishments, all for just $1.

These last 4 items (JOY and Holly layered embellishments, gem snowflake, and foil chipboard alphas) will be available at Target as well as A.C. Moore.

Confused? Here we go, one more time just in case:

A.C. Moore has ALL of the holiday items pictured in this post.

JoAnn's Craft and Larger Superstores has the glitter and patterned paper packs.

Target has the JOY and Holly layered embellishments, gem snowflake, and foil chipboard alphas.

I know its early, but I can't think of a better way to get in the holiday spirit than sitting down with a new craft project and a mug of hot cocoa before all the hustle and bustle begins. What is your favorite way to kick off the holiday season? Leave us a comment below, we love to hear from you!
