It’s time for another edition of Tips, Tools, & Techniques trivia! Open your gorgeous copy of the March/April 2010 issue of Paper Crafts magazine (a breath of fresh air!), turn to pages 94-96 and answer the following questions for the chance to WIN (and who doesn’t like to win?):
- Take a closer look at the brads that I created using the i-top from Imaginisce. A photo of my parents appears on one of the brads. What are they doing in the picture?
- Which Go-to Gal had the headache-inducing task of blowing the insides out of eggs for this issue?
- Tell me – what does heat & stick powder do?
- Fill-in-the-blank time! I say that Doodlebug Design’s Chunky Glitter could be classified as “_______________ in a ________.”
- What idea is your favorite from this issue’s Tips, Tools, & Techniques column, and why?
Now for the fun part. Two winners will be randomly selected to win:
- The i-top Brad Maker and the Small, Medium and Large Punches and Brad Daddies from Imaginisce shown on page 94.
OR
- Three packages of Mica Flakes from Melissa Frances, twelve different colors of Pixee Stix from Pink Paislee and the Chunky Glitter pictured from Doodlebug Design. See page 96.

Oh, I so wish I could play, but my copy is still on its way. Great product highlights.
so much FUN!! this was a great read, Susan, and i loved the little contest!
have emailed my answers, and am daydreaming about swimming in GLITTER right now! (that would be my choice, definitely!)
thanks for the little break in my day!
I think the I-top is my fav, but either one would be fantastic!!!
Those little “pixee stix” are adorable. What a cute way to package your product. I have avoided glitter for some time now because I never knew how to make the stuff stick. I can’t wait to try and use it again. Thanks for the inspiration.
Adorable products !
The sugar coating glitter puts a spring in my step. I love the yummy colors and all the bling it will bring to a project.
Tips, Tools and Techniques is one of my favorite parts of Paper Crafts – Always love this contest and in this issue if you haven’t seen the myriad of decorated eggs, it is a must see.
Your articles are one of my fav’s to read over and over to get insight into the newest products. Thanks for all your hard work and help! I personally use and appreciate it.
Thank you for the fun challenge! Wow, I’ve always been fascinated by the I-Top and have never seen one in person so that would be my first choice, but who wouldn’t love all of that gorgeous glitter!!!!
Super fun! LOVE the i-top!
Love the i-top! But who wouldn’t like to add a little glitter bling to their projects
Thanks for the chance to win 
I love them both! The I-top looks cool to play with but I am drooling over all the varieties of glitter too!
1. Your parents are kissing…it makes my heart flip just looking at the picture. So, so cute picture of them.
2. Kim Kesti
3. After you stamp with watermark ink, add powder and heat. The powder becomes tacky. Add glitter and then set with more heat. You then have an image that is covered with glitter.
4. The Chunky Glitter would be classified as ‘happiness in a jar.’
5. The I-top tool. It seems to be showing up everywhere and I have yet to use it.
This was a fun contest…thanks for making me look back through the issue.
i am hoping to win the package with the mica flakes. i have never seen these and love anything that will give my projects that vintage look
* Your parents are kissing!
* Kim Kesti
* Stamp w/watermark ink, add pd., and heat. The pd. becomes tacky. Add glitter and set with a little more heat.
* “Happiness in a jar”.
* Favorite idea was all the beautiful, Paper Craft Easter eggs by Kim.
great job.
Loved the contest and emailed all my answers…Looking forward to playing with my glitter…and HOPING to win some more, too
I just sent you my answers!! I would love to win prize #1!!
Thanks for the chance to win.

Well, since I have an I-top, the glitter and Mica Flakes put a spring in my step. I also LOVE heat and stick powder, nice that it was featured, since so few people seem to know about it.
Since I have the punches, I’d love to try the glitter and mica powder. I’ll have to look for the heat and stick powder, so I can try it.
Thanks for the fun! Your parents are adorable
The color of the glitters make me sooo happy and ready for Spring, but I own NO punches so I think the i-top brad maker (very cool) with punches would be my choice.
Sending in my answer! Thanks for the chance to win!
Thank you for the chance to win! I would love to have the I-top!
omg! great giveaway! i so am in love with the i-top—i think i need one !!

I would love to win the I-top, although either prize would be just dandy! LOL.
Love the Easter Eggs, can’t wait to try it!
Carmen
I hope this is a good sign lol… I just came from Michael’s where I got my fresh issue… sit down on the computer to relax a bit… and the first email was the newsletter with this post! Done! Tks for the opportunity!
(ops, forgot the prize comment – did on the email) Repeating (please disregard the previous one)
I hope this is a good sign lol… I just came from Michael’s where I got my fresh issue… sit down on the computer to relax a bit… and the first email was the newsletter with this post!
The i-top would bring me the spring – I can make lots of flower’s centers with it!
Well both are very nice the i-top would be fun to play with!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to win the i-top!
I would looooooove the i-top. I have been looking at it but Michael’s doesn’t have all the punches for it so I don’t want to buy it and only be able to make one size. I’m no good with templates I tired a button maker which is a little less fancy and I didn’t do well. lol
I’d love to win the brad-maker along with the punches!!
Great give aways! Pick me!
I love all the goodies but think I would really love to receive the I-top and punches. There’s SO much going on with the blog…love it and just trying to keep up. lol
The prize that puts a “Spring in my step” is the chunky glitter, Mica, and pixee stix.
I have the I-Top and love it. my brads now match my projects perfectly.
The bling is putting the spring in my step! I love the glitter and those darling little pixies stix are just scrumptious!!
Btw…I have the i-top and it is fantastic! Super easy and really fun to use
I love the I-top brad maker…how fun to make a brad with your favorite picture.
I loved the article. I am always looking for new techniques. How about an easy way to blow those eggs out of the shell? hehe
I have submitted my answers. To win the glitter would be great, since I already own the I-top! It is such a great tool! I love putting my grandchildren’s pics on the brads and then putting the brads in the centers of flowers.
I have so much glitter that I would love to try the i-top!
Just sent you my answers…OOOOh I hope I win one of these goodies. I love the SHINE of all that glitters!!! (pun intended)!!
I love these contests..I read my issue back to front, front to back, and always pick a page anywhere in the middle too!
Thanks for another cool contest, Susan..you ROCK!
I love the glitters to add to the cards I make! I don’t buy any cards…love to make my own…they are much appreciated. I have a small amrt. of glitter, but could do with more! Thanks for the chance to enter.
The i-top is my favorite, but I’d love any of these!
I love all that glitters so any of those would please me but hey I’m just a sparkling kind of girl. Of course I like it all and would love to win any of the items.
The I-top brad maker is something I have been considering so would love to win it.
I, like so many others on here, love the glitters! The chunky glitter and the Pixee Stix really put a Spring in my step! (And I love the Pixee Stix packaging and name – it reminds me of the real Pixie Stix we used to eat when we were kids!)
The mica flakes or chunky glitter would be my favorite. I already play with regular glitter so this is something else to try.
1. Your parents are smooching
2. Kim Kesti has the task of blowing out all those eggs
3. Heat and Stick is a powder you apply over watermark ink, you heat it once to make it tacky and then apply glitter and then heat again to set.
4. Happiness in a Jar! I totally agree!
5. I love the glitter tips you shared! Makes me want to go bling something right now!
I think the Mica flakes look like fun. Melissa Frances always has the cutest packaging.
What a fun giveaway! I’ve emailed my answers and I oh, so, wish I could win the brad makers. They are TOO COOL! Thanks so much!
What a fun contest! I would love to create with the i-top!
Entered! I would love the i-top – what a great tool!
