My Favorite Black Friday Deals at Blitsy!

Hi everyone! I want to recap some amazing Black Friday deals going on at Blitsy right now. They had an awesome sleepover party last night to kick off all the sales and inspire you with fun challenges, demo's and giveaways. To shop at Blitsy, you need an account (totally FREE) and if you aren't already a member, you can join with my referral link. You  will then get your own referral link to share with family and friends to earn extra points! 

**For the amazing Black Friday Deals, no other coupons can be combined (including your coupon for signing up) but you can always save it for another time.** Aside from my referral link, there are NO affiliate links in this post. There probably could be, but I just don't know how to operate those. haha

So, let's get started shall we?!

Black Friday Price (limited time and quantities): $54.99

First of all, the MISTI - this tool really is the Most Incredible Stamp Tool Invented. They are selling out FAST but if you can't get it at Blitsy - I hear the manufacture also has a pretty good Black Friday deal on them as well you can check out HERE. Here is a video I did a while ago, using the MISTI with the No Line Coloring technique. I'll be honest, this is the main reason I got it, but now I use it almost exclusively!

Black Friday Price (limited time and quantities): $12.49

Ok, the Fuse, can we just take a minute and talk about how awesome this tool is?! I admit, it took me awhile to take it out of the box when I got it - I was so intimidated and the first time I used it, I made a mess of it, but then I got the hang of it and I'm obsessed! Make Shaker Everything!!! LOL I love shaker cards and tags and bookmarks, etc. Need I say more? Check out THIS POST to see how I used the Fuse to make a shaker bookmark. I also picked up the Heat Resistant Silicone Mat & Holster ($9.99) because I think it will make using the Fuse even easier!
Black Friday Price (limited time and quantities): $9.99

Next, the We R Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board (well, check out ALL the punch boards at amazing prices, really). I love this tool and used it to create a cute garland and I am going to make a little banner for my family to hold for our Christmas photos this year. I will definitely post when I finish! 
Black Friday Price (limited time and quantities): $82.49

The Big Shot!!! Oh my goodness, I just upgraded my die cutting machine to this and I have to say I have never been happier die cutting intricate designs. Definitely a standard for every crafter and I love the chic White & Grey design - perfect for any craft room!

Black Friday Prices (limited time and quantities) Up to 69% off 

Heidi Swapp Marquee & Paper Laterns!!! Yes! I am so excited to see theses as I canNOT find them in any stores locally. Plus, again, Blitsy rocks the price. I can't wait to decorate with these this year.


Black Friday Prices (limited time and quantities) Up to 61% off 

Prima Marketing Creating in Faith Collection. I was so excited to demo this collection during the Blitsy Sleepover event live via Skype! I can't tell you enough how much I love this entire collection. The rub-ons are so smooth and easy to transfer. The stamps are a blast to color. I love the watercolor look of the journaling cards. So much goodness! If you love Bible Journaling - this collection is perfect. You can see more samples using this collection on THIS POST.


Black Friday Prices (limited time and quantities) Individual Colors $3.44 / Assorted Packs $20.63 - $74.99

Brusho Crystal Colour Watercolors Powders! These are seriously gorgeous and so pigmented. I have the 24 set but still would like to play a bit more - I have one video using these you can VIEW HERE.


Black Friday Prices (limited time and quantities) Up to 79% off!

Art Alternatives Canvases & Panels. I haven't used this particular brand before but at prices like $0.38 for a wood 4x4 panel - I just had to pick up a couple! Some of the stretched canvases are normally $20+ available for less than $6 today! Great for creating mixed media home decor like I shared HERE.


Black Friday Prices (limited time and quantities) $22.49

Faber-Castell Design Memory Crafts Double Scoup Gelatos Gift Set! I love using Gelatos in my art journals - you can see one page I did HERE. If you are curious to try out mixed media - I would say these are a great medium to have.

You definitely want a pair of the Golden Scissors because then you’ll be entered into the grand prize drawing for $1000 to spend at Blitsy or a year’s worth of craft supplies! You should have gotten to me from Morena Hockley's Blog. The next stop will be Stacey Gibbon's Blog. For a full list of everyone on the hop, please start at the beginning on Blitsy's Blog! Just leave a comment on each Blog for your entries.

Each one of the Creative Team members will be sharing special SNEAK PEEK's of the awesome products and deals this weekend beginning midnight on Black Friday! There will be new sales launching Black Friday at 12am CST, Saturday 6am CST, Sunday 6am CST, and Cyber Monday 6am CST. 


I'm so excited because I get to share with you that the Prima Marketing Creating In Faith collection by Jamie Dougherty will be available once again on Friday along with some other great deals this weekend like:

  • Prima Creating in Faith entire collection friday- Check out Esther Stamp $1.99 (reg MSRP $5)

  • Saturday: Ranger Dylusions
Get those wish lists and budgets ready - you're not going to want to miss a stop! Before you go, I want to leave you with some inspiration as I just LOVE this new Creating In Faith collection. I have not been able to put it aside since I got it. Today I have a book mark and tag for you using just some of the pieces.


This shaker bookmark was incredibly easy to create using the 3x4 Journaling Cards in the collection. I stamped this awesome C.S. Lewis quote also in the collection and colored it in with various pens. Then I created the pocket using the awesome We R Memory Keepers Fuse! I love how versatile all the products in the collection are.



For my tag, I wanted to play with the Heart & Cross mask. I pulled out some of my favorite Ranger Distress Inks and Dina Wakley Media Heavy Body Acrylic paints -  particularly the color Gilt - my current obsession - the perfect gold metallic! I love how it turned out. This same technique could also be applied in your Bible journaling. I think the distress inks would work beautifully on the pages and by just adding a small splattering of the watered down acrylic paint with the Tim Holtz Splatter Brush, it shouldn't warp the pages.


I hope you enjoyed these projects today and are inspired to take a look at all the awesome deals to come. Be sure to leave your comments on each blog of the hop for your chance to win 1 of 13 Golden Scissors: I'd LOVE to hear which of the sneak peek deals I've revealed to you today you are MOST excited about! Leave your comment below to let me know.
