I recently received some happy mail in the form of a Silhouette Mystery Box. It contained such a nice assortment of goodies that it was hard to choose which one I wanted to try first! Ultimately I decided to make this kitchen command center using the Chalkboard Starter Kit and today I’ll show you how…
Last week I posted several questions that you should ask yourself before purchasing a heat press. I also mentioned that I just purchased a new heat press that I would be telling you more about. The Craft Pro heat press from Heat Press Nation has just been released to the public and I’m excited to…
Are you in the market for a heat press? If so, how do you know which model is right for you? The effectiveness of any heat press is a function of heat + time + pressure, but not all presses will deliver the same results. It’s important to know what your specific needs are and…
