LADIES TOYS AREN’T JUST FOR KIDS ANYMORE! This is a toy that is STAMPER APPROVED! A toy that I never should have given them, and saved for ME!

I did confiscate some of it though Does that make me a bad and selfish mommy? Maybe. Will I get more use from it then they will-Um YEAH!!! LOL! Do you need to try this-YES! YES! You do. Trust me-you will be thanking me, when you see what WICKED AWESOME thing I have to share with all of you today!

It is a product I found at Target called SPOTZ (be sure you click the link OK!). Now you Canadians, don’t fret. I did a search and they are sold at Toys R Us, and Walmart! Although after this post, they may sell out.

This Spotz maker is so beyond COOL, for the paper crafter. It's a machine (you don’t need the actual machine though), that comes with printed vellum sheets (that gets cut into 1 inch circles), and gets put into funky cool plastic rims (some have BLING!!!), where you can have them viewed through the clear plastic side, or just the pretty rim side.

Here is the photo of the machine/supplies. You can buy the Spotz accessories separately. Now you don’t need the machine (as stated above)-unless your kids are using it for play. I did buy the machine, and found the purpose of it is so the girls can SAFELY cut a 1 inch circle-then seal the clear plastic case on their Spotz tags. YOU will just want the accessories pack.

1 inch circle punch-then the Spotz super cool rims, with clear window insert. You can use/keep the printed vellum cardstock sheets or toss them. Some are pretty cool.

So upon viewing these and playing-as I said I found no machine necessary, I found you just put in your image, them pop in the clear layer. Pops in pretty easy. I will say you can’t really pop the clear lid off once it’s popped in. At least not without possibly injuring yourself! LOL!

I also wanted to find what ELSE these cool rims can do! So here I will share my results. They can enclose Prima's, and they can hold your very own stamped images!Add some glitter or tiny beads and you have a shaker card, in seconds!

NOTE: the MACHINE says to only use the Spotz images that come with it. I believe it says that because their Spotz MAKER, is only strong enough to cut through the vellum, not card-stock, patterned paper, or photos and whatnot. If you just use your own punch, and pop in the cover-DONE! I am so happy when I can share cool things with the world.I hope you get yourself some Spotz! I hope you have time to tell us what you think.
