Crafter gift idea

Posted by Mary Welling-Bonney Nov 2, 2006

Create and Treasure Publishing has come up with a great gift for any crafter regardless of the craft.

Here is a gift idea for the crafter in your life. Most crafters have lots of supplies but love to add to their tools.

Have you ever seen those home decorating tv shows where the designer flips out a deck of colors to compare or match an item, fabric or even wall paint? I went online once trying to get one from the paint companies. They do have them on their website. Some companies are willing to sell them but they are expensive. For other sites, you must be a professional designer and be able to prove it.

Here is the good news, C & T offers the color deck and at a reasonable price. Even if you don't craft as much as you like, think about painting a room. You have to go to the store and get the color cards, then go home and compare them to the linens, furniture and flooring. Then you realized you might want to think in another color direction. This means back to the store for more color cards.

If you are anything like me, time is a premium commodity that you can't afford to waste. Then you add the price of gas. And we are only talking about one time. Now think of the times you are matching an embellishment for scrapbooking, or fabric range for quilting or bookmaking, painting, embossing, etc, etc. This tool can save you from making costly mistakes or wasting time and energy. A big thanks to C & T for offering it to all of us who are not professional designers.
