And now for our second CRAFT GIVEAWAY prize!
REVIEW
The Ultimate Crafter’s Companion is an all-in-one craft center where you can quickly and easy make all different sized cards, envelopes, and enveloboxes, trim, and embellish/emboss.
What you get with the Crafter’s Companion is like a plastic notebook with 4 pages.
Page 1 has a scoreboard for making all different sizes of cards, with measurements for both 8.5 x 11 and 12 x 12 paper. This page also has an embossing board with 3 decorative borders.
Page 2 is a storage compartment for the paper cutter, ribbon tying posts, embossing tools, craft knife, and video tutorial DVD.
Page 3 is actually a 2 page spread/embossing board with 4 large designs that you can emboss,cut out, or use to make a popout card. It also has 4 more borders and measurements and score board for making all different sizes and shapes of boxes.
Page 4 has 5 more designs for embossing or cutting, 4 corner designs, and premade measurements for making envelopes of all shapes and sizes. It also has prespaced holes for the ribbon pegs – these little pegs make tying beautiful bows so easy.
The best thing about the Crafter’s Companion is that they’ve done all the thinking for you. Simply decide what you want to make, how big you want it to be, flip through the instruction booklet that comes with the Crafter’s Companion, read the simple instructions, and you’re done! There is no math involved, no complex geometry, no serious thinking at all, which is a relief because when you’re in your creative brain, your technical brain is out to lunch…at least mine is.
I’ve had so much fun using the Crafter’s Companion to make different kinds of cards that I have never before attempted and custom envelopes for those cards. There’s so much to do with this tool, I haven’t had time to explore it all. I can’t wait to tie pretty bows and make my own gift boxes!

I WANT THIS!!! This Crafters Companion sounds amazing. So compact, and you get all those tools in one. As for other CC goodies, I love the Top Score multiboard. I’ve seen scoring boards demonstrated and always think, “I could really use one of those!” I’m a cardmaker and scrapbooker, so these would gets lots of use. The embossing plates are also super!!

I am fascinated by the rock-a-blocks. I have never really wanted to get into stamps because the handful of times I have tried I ended up with smeared ruined things. And the Ultimate looks ultimate. Yay for giveaways!

My favorite, of course, is the Ultimate Crafter’s Tool! But if I had to pick something else, I would pick the Celebration embossing board, and the rock a blocks (I got a very small sample of something similar in one of my quickutz alphabets and love it!)

Actually the enveloper looks pretty cool. I have envelope templates but never use them because they are too much trouble – this would make it simpler for sure.

I love this little product. Oh and I did a survey!
I simply love crafter’s companion. It is all in one station. The thing that really fasinates me the most is that I can make my own custom made envelopes. Crafter’s companion would come in so handy as I usually am making birthday/anniversay greeting cards at the last minute. You know it sneak up on you. This will ease things up or me and also make it look sooo professional. I truly adore it. I also visited their cool website and fell in love with the “framey” embossing board. Take a deep breath…
Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks for the chance Kelsey!
