TC Creations Spotlight & Giveaway (Ended)

TC Creations offers one-of-a-kind "modern creations", from bibs to diaper carriers, tooth fairy pillows to jewelry.



Located in Prince George, BC, Canada, TC Creations was started in the summer of 2009 by Tammy after receiving a large quantity of assorted fabric. Rather than give it away, she put it to good use sewing unique items for her two children. Her friends, and their friends, starting asking her to sew items for them and TC Creations was on its way.

Added late in 2010 is a unique line of jewelry created by her mom, Dawn. Semi-precious stones, Swarovski crystals, and freshwater pearls are used to create one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces and sets.

"All of our products are handmade and truly one of a kind, because we never use patterns! Our most popular product is our Big bib! They won't shrink, and their one of a kind shape covers babe in all the right spots!!! Velcro closure. Fits ages 6 months and up!! Made with designer quilting cottons and super soft minky back making clean ups a breeze!"

As popular as their bibs are, one of TC Creations' most unique products are their tooth fairy pillows. Each pillow comes with a pocket to provide the perfect spot for your child's tooth when the toothfairy visits.

A Diaper a Day (to Give Away) Spotlight

"It costs about $2.40 to make one diaper, or about $50 per family, assuming the average baby goes through about eight to 12 diapers a day. Consider that most parents spend about $75 a month for disposable diapers, the cost savings is considerable."

This is the basis for Kelly Sangree's A Diaper a Day project. To provide families in need with reusable cloth diapers made from recycled or discounted materials.

When Harrisburg resident Kelly Sangree read a news story about young mothers who couldn’t afford diapers for their children, it struck a raw nerve.

It wasn’t all that long ago Sangree had been in a similar situation, as a young, financially strapped, single mother.

To help make ends meet at the time, she ended up sewing her own cloth diapers out of old T-shirts.

She decided to use those sewing skills to help others with a charity project she calls “A Diaper A Day.”

New Troubleshooting Video & Written Instructions for Plastic Snaps

We've vamped up the Troubleshooting section of the Snap Press and Snap Pliers instructions. We've provided more extensive written tips as well as an accompanying video to help new users better understand the underlying problem with plastic snaps that don't snap properly (in most cases anyway).

If the snaps do not close with a loud click or at all, then most likely it is because the center prong was not smushed flat enough and is getting in the way. This happens when not enough pressure is applied when the snap is attached to the fabric or when the fabric is too thin (or both).

For more information, visit the Tutorials link on the top menu bar of KAMsnaps.com.

- Snap Press: http://www.kamsnaps.com/Instructions-for-Snap-Press-26.html

Free Cap Samples: Chocolate, Eggnog, F Sage, F Aqua

We're currently offering a sample cap in each of these 4 custom colors. We'll rotate all of our custom snap colors, so you can collect them all. Available here: http://www.kamsnaps.com/Freebies-p103.html. Supply is limited.

Felting Mama Spotlight & Giveaway (Ended)

Felting Mama is your source for all things adorably felt. They sell hair clips, pacifier clips, and other fun things, but what makes them really stand apart are the unique felt designs that are attached to most of their products.

The designs are created and embroidered by owner and felting extraordinaire, Stacy.

"I am a full-time work at home mom (to a cute, little, sassy, and smart 6 year old). I have always wanted to have my own business, but I was never able to pinpoint what it was that I wanted to do. Friends and family were always telling me how crafty I was, but I just couldn't find my niche. I made clocks many years back, designed web sites, and made personalized memory DVDs. When my daughter started cheer-leading I decided to try my hand at hair bows. I made a few and the crowd went wild!

Not long after, I fell in love with an embroidery machine. I wanted that machine, I needed that machine, and finally, in Oct 2010, I bought it. I have been using it ever since. Since then it has been one happy accident after another: discovering how to sew felt, learning to use the digitalizing software, and, most recently, opening my website and Etsy shop.

My plan is to include rag quilts, learning toys and more. You will have to see what happy accident happens next."

You will want to spend a long time looking at and drooling over all of their cute felt designs. Felting Mama continuously adds new designs so you can revisit them often and drool some more. Visit their main webpage at FeltingMama.com. They also have additional products listed in their Etsy store at FeltingMama.net as well as on their Facebook page.

For a limited time, get 10% off your total purchase at FeltingMama.net! Use code spotlight at checkout. Offer expires April 21, 2011 and cannot be applied retroactively to previous orders. Shipping not included. Limit 1 coupon per purchase.

Giveaway

Felting Mama has generously offered to give away a felt hair clip or pacifier clip to one lucky winner. The winner will also receive a $10 KAMsnaps gift certificate.
