What do snakes and our Mist-it! have in common? Her name is Tracy!

Monday, August 30th, 2010

One of the perks of owning Inspired Crafts is meeting all the talented artists at places like CHA trade shows. One of those talents goes by the name of Tracy Brehm-Alden.  A muti-media artist, Tracy travels all around the world working with venomous snakes.  I think she is an amazing person. Here is what she sent me recently:

“I have been using the Cutter Glide Tool Treatment for all of my art tools and I can not tell you how much I love how it works! I have even been able to clean and protect tools I thought had seen their last days.

As for the application of your products on reptiles, this morning while working with Moose, one of my Pacific Gopher snakes (Pituophis melanoleucus catenifer), I was able to take a decent photo of one of skin treatments using your Mist It. He has many scars, bumps and missing skin, which he gets regular sprays to help with shedding/skin growth, he is not fond of sprays but doesn’t mind the Mist It as much, since it is so fine a mist.

I could take a picture of a Red Diamond Rattlesnake if you would like? I have to mist her often, she was partially skinned and I keep working on her, trying to get new skin growth. The Mist It works wonderfully because the mist is so fine it goes through the screen tops of their cages (helping with safety of the handler) and snakes react more like it is a fine rain than something harmful (less stressful for the animal).

I also have some art projects coming up and I will be using your products to see what type of effects I can get, I will send you pictures if you like. I keep trying to find new things to test your products on just for fun! Just the other day I found my old pair of steel crafting scissors, I didn’t have the heart to throw them out, they were my Mother’s, but I used them so much they had a horrid amount of gunk and rust built up, making them unusable. So of course I had to try the Cutter Glide Tool Treatment on them! Lo and behold they cut through paper, twine and ribbon like they did so many years ago!

I have an art website ( www.artrez.com ), if you would like to check it out.”

Wishing you and yours the best,

Cutter Glide to the Rescue!

Monday, June 7th, 2010

We love to hear feedback from our customers and our retailers. Every week we hear something new about what our products are doing for people. Case and point.. I just got this e-mail from Susan from Stamp Craft located in Golden, Colorado.

Hi Alicia-

So, I’m trying to do some organization and finally get some things filed and into binders. I was using my 3-hole punch (a nice heavy-duty one) on the sofa in the store, instead of putting it on a hard, flat surface like I usually do. Well, of course, because it wasn’t level, the top hole punch got stuck and I couldn’t get it released. I gave it to Darrell and after much prodding with pliers and screwdrivers, he got it loose. When I pressed down on it to test it, it stuck again. I said, “Great! Now I’ll have to buy a new one.” He said, “I’ll go get my Cutter Glide and that should fix it.” Notice he said HIS Cutter Glide!!

Okay, Mr. Smarty Pants! Well, of course it worked and now I’m back to having my paper punch like it was before I stupidly used it on a soft, non level surface.

Gotta love him!! Darrell is so supportive of what I do and the fact that he’s so pleased with a product that I sell, since not much usually applies to him, makes it even more special. He is getting more than a month out of his razor blades and that’s saving us beaucoup bucks!

Static, be gone…

At long last, we have a new website, and a company blog! We are so excited to be offering a much more user-friendly site with ongoing updates. This year has proven to be a very busy one for us, and we are eager to share some of the stories that have come our way.

I’ll begin with the product that started this company; PaperGlide™.

With the help of Judi from Judikins and Vicki and Sarah from Stamp Addicts (UK), PaperGlide has proven to be a terrific anti-static, especially for the plastic trays used for collecting glitter and powders, like the Snappy Tray™. Once the PaperGlide™ dries on the tray, all the excess powder/glitter just slides right off and into the jar, with just a tap or two! Try it out and see how easy it is.

I will be posting more in the future about other ways our products have been put to good use, one of which was quite surprising! Stay tuned…
