Life Style Crafts Review & Mother's Day Giveaway

 My mother in law is an amazing lady. She makes everything. She knits blankets and clothes for the baby, she wood burns jewelry boxes for the older kids. She even made her own cabinets in her house. So when I came across Life Style Crafts, I knew I had found the perfect place to get her a Mother's Day gift that she would really be able to put to good use. The Letterpress Epic Tool Kit Combo is just what she needs to create cards and scrap books to go along with all her other fabulous creations.  No matter what the occasion, you can find the tools you need to do it yourself and make it a personal work of art.

For our review, we received and amazing package that included the following:

1. Letterpress/Epic Tool Combo Kit
2. 2 Printing Plates
3. 2 Inks
4. 2 sets of paper and envelopes
5. Cleaning Cloths
6. Accessory Tool Kit
7. Ink Guide Strips
8. Various Cutting Dies
These are the perfect tools for cards so we decided that both grandmothers would be getting a personalized Mother's Day card this year. My kids picked out a few of their favorite family photos to put inside the card and we set to work. Loading the ink was easy. Then you just need to roll the ink onto the press. We used the light pink ink and spelled out "I Love You" . The first time, we didn't it was a little blurry, but on our second try it came out perfect. We then added some decorations like balloons and  flowers. We glued a picture inside of each to give it that truly personal touch. They came out beautiful and I know these cards will mean more than anything we might get at the card store. And its only one of thousands of things you can do. Make a scrapbook, a personalized year book, school folders, picture frames and more.
