Hunkydory Blog Review

Hi everyone, I am very honoured to have been asked to write a blog review for Hunkydory. 

First of all, let me share with you that I have loads of Hunkydory products and have been collecting them for many years. I especially like the magazines and you always get some gorgeous crafty goodies with every issue.

Premier Craft Glue

This is the first time I have used this particular glue and I found it very quick to adhere my cardstock and was really pleased with the result. There is 40g in one bottle and at £0.99 per bottle it is very affordable. You only need a little so it goes a long way and as an added bonus, it also dries clear.

Moonstone Woodland Wildlife Dies

These little guys are just adorable, they cut really easily and are just fantastic for putting together a woodland scene, especially at this time of year. At £14.99, its a really good price considering there are 11 elements contained in this pack.

Luxury Foiled Snowflake Acetate

I absolutely love the Snowflake Acetate and use this a lot.  It really looks effective on many different types of projects. As long as you use a magnetic sheet when die cutting the acetate it cuts really well and usually on the first attempt and at £3.99 for five sheets its not a bad price. Just don't waste any of it!

Blending Tools

The Blending Tools are really easy to use and they are one of my favourite colours which is purple. They move swiftly across the cardstock/paper and give a really smooth finish.  The price is £5.99 for two blenders and six sponges.

The Square Little Book of Poppies

I am not ashamed to say I own nearly all of the Little Books, but I must admit Poppies are my overall favourite.  I love Poppies anyway, and even more importantly, I have a West Highland Terrier and she is called Poppy! Again, a good price of £9.99 for 150 pages, six sheets each of 25 different designs.

Rainbow Mirror Card

Since I discovered the Rainbow Mirror Cardstock I have to stop myself from using on nearly everything but I always get very complimentary comments when I do. It always makes the main image pop out. The price is £5.99 for eight A4 size sheets but you can often purchase this as a BOGOF for £12.99 containing 20 sheets (which an extra four sheets).

To sum up,  I don't believe you can buy better quality than Hunkydory products.  They produce beautiful card-making kits and even a novice card-maker can create a gorgeous project using all things Hunkydory!

The following is just a quick guide of a couple of projects I created using the above products.
