Best Prime Day Deals for Crafters to Check Out on Amazon.
Amazon Prime Day 2021 for Crafters
Amazon Prime Day 2021 is Monday and Tuesday, June 21-22, starting at 12 A.M. Pacific time.. Prime Day is a great event for getting the best Amazon prices available all year. If you haven’t heard about Prime Day before, it’s a once-a-year HUGE sale at Amazon — about 100,000 items get put on sale. It’s bigger than Black Friday, but it is just for Amazon. I’m a Prime member (and you have to be to get these deals) and I’ve been shopping Prime Day for a while now. It is possible to find out in advance what things are going to go on sale. I looked and I found some really interesting DIY & CRAFT deals. I’ll be adding to my shopping list for myself and my family — and I thought you might like to know about these deals, too.
While your other family members are finding lots of important tools and gadgets, this is a great time to anticipate major crafting needs for the coming year. I have posted links to crafting tools that I use the most. Some of the items I use regularly are already marked down, and I found a few that are even at half price! Be sure to check out the items that you use most to get some great bargains.
What to Expect, How to shop, and Get Ready
- Check out the amazon.com/primeday page every day to stay up to date on Amazon’s best deals and offers of the year.
- Don’t forget to sign up for Prime, as Prime Day deals are exclusively available to members!

- Make a Wish List and watch for email notifications when items go up for sale. You can use my list as a starting point. Wouldn’t this make a great crafter’s Christmas in July shopping list?

Sublimation Printer Paper I recently learned that you do not need special sublimation printer paper. Just use your standard printer paper with your printer’s sublimation ink. You do need proper blanks for sublimation projects, such as white or light colored polyester fabric. Mugs, coasters, plates, caps, etc. need to have a special coating to accept sublimation ink.

Portable 4T External usb Drive – Great for storing backups of all of your printables, cutting files, and fonts collections
Instant Pot Duo 6 qt. – I love my Instant Pot. I can do a lot of crafting while it does the cooking! I have the 8-Quart model. But if you don’t yet have an air fryer, and want one, check out this Instant Pot with Air Fryer lid! Instant Pot 10 Qt Wow what a deal!

Black Friday Deals for Crafters
Black Friday Deals for Crafters
Here are some Black Friday Deals for Crafters. Black Friday is a great time to stock up on crafting supplies. Look for great deals on the high-priced items that help you to be more productive. Do you need a better cutter? Is there a Foil Press on your wish list? Or perhaps you need a more efficient die cutter/embosser to handle those very intricate dies. Maybe you need a new computer or external hard drive. Do you need a new printer?
If you do not need a new machine, perhaps you need to stock up on consumable supplies for your crafting projects. Is your stash of paper or vinyl, or HTV dwindling? Do you have plenty of adhesives? Be sure to check your supply of blades and mats for your machines! There are lots of Black Friday Deals for Crafters that could save you money on your craft supplies.

Silhouette Portrait 3 is the latest new Silhouette machine. This is a more compact machine than the Cameo 4 for those who need a smaller machine.
Scan N Cut
Scan N Cut SDX125 by Brother. See my SNC review here.
Scan N Cut SDX85 is the newest SNC machine this year. Its features are very similar to the SDX125. The main difference is that the LED display is not as large as the SDX125. There are more capable machines offered by authorized Brother dealers, but they also cost a LOT more.
Brother SNC Universal Pen Holder Allows you to use standard pens in your new or older model Scan N Cut machine.
Scan N Cut Standard Mat for CM models or SNC2
Brother SE600 Sewing/Embroidery Machine.

Die Cutting/Embossing Machines
Gemini Die Cutting/Embossing Machines
Gemini Die Cutting/Embossing Machine Great price for a power machine! I ordered one, plus the plates for the Gemini Jr to use with this. Get this machine or the Gemini Jr. to use with the Gemini Foilpress. Gemini Jr is only slightly less than the full size Gemini. So unless you really need the smaller size of the Jr. 6-inch width, I recommend the full size Gemini. You will need an extended plate for the Foilpress to work in the full size Gemini. See my review here.
Replacement Cutting plates for large Gemini-9″x 12″
Gemini Jr. Die Cutting/Embossing Machine– I prefer the larger Gemini because it will cut even the largest dies. There are only a few dies in my collection that will not fit on the Gemini Jr. So if you have mostly dies and embossing folders 6″ or less, then this is a great price for an electronic die cutting/embossing machine.
Gemini Mini Die Cutting/Embossing Machine I really like this little machine. Use a folder to cut or emboss with no need to fret about a stack of cutting plates. This is a hand crank machine, with a 3″ cutting or embossing width. My grandchildren especially enjoy using this one while we are crafting.
Gemini Midi Die Cutting/Embossing Machine is the latest new hand- cranked machine with a 6″ die cutting or embossing width. Quantities are very limited right now, so if you want this, you should grab it soon. It is a non-electric backup machine that works as well as the electric Gemini machines.
Additional Die Cutting/Embossing Machines
Diamond Press Marquise – is a new hand-operated machine that came out this year with a 4.5″ die cutting or embossing width. It does a nice job cutting thin dies in its folders and regular embossing folders. The mouth opening for folders is not quite deep enough for use with 3D embossing folders, or multimedia dies. But it is easy to operate, and is quite economical.
Empress Mini Die Cutting/Embossing Machine This is a quiet electronic die cutting/embossing machine with a 4.25″ cutting or embossing width. Light weight, but will handle dies and folders for a full A2 size card.
Sizzix Big Shot Plus – hand operated with 9″ maximum width
Big Shot Express – Electronic die cutter/embosser with 6″ max width
Big Shot Pro – Manual die cutter/embosser with 13″ max width. Great for use with dies of any size and length, especially Bigz dies and large quilting dies.
Vagabond – manual die cutter/embosser with 6″ max width
Sizzix Extended Cutting Plates
Tools
A4 LED Ultra Thin Light Box Tracer – Not quite as bright as the Cricut Bright Pad, but the price is right and it works well for weeding vinyl.
Temperature Gun – check the actual heat of your iron, heat press, heated project, etc.
Heartfelt Creations Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit I use this kit for shaping my 3D flowers. See my blog tutorial and my video tutorial for shaping paper roses.
Spellbinders Tool In 1 Great for brushing the tiny pieces out of intricate cuts.

Mini Hot Glue Gun – Great for making 3D paper or foam flowers
Mini Glue Sticks – Refills for Mini Hot Glue Gun
Scor-tape Sheets love this for making boxes and other 3D projects
Paper and Cardstock
See my Blog Post on the Best Paper for Crafting here.
80# white cardstock Excellent cardstock for print and cut projects. The printer can handle it, and it cuts well.
100# white cardstock Great for cutting popup cards and stamped flowers for coloring and shaping into 3D flowers.
12″x 12″ Assorted Color cardstock 150 sheets Variety of weights, most between 65# and 80#

Thin Foam Sheets for Flower Making – 1mm thick, assorted colors, 24 pieces, 9.8″ square.
See the foam flowers I made using these here and here and here and here.

HTV and Sublimation
Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV) I love this quality collection of multi-colored HTV to have on hand for last minute projects. It works very well.
15″x 15″ Heat Press If you do a lot of Heat transfer vinyl on garments, you need a heat press. The size is right on this one, and the best price I could find.
15″x 12″ 8 in 1 Heat Press combo – This allows you to create your Heat Transfer vinyl projects, Cricut Infusion Projects, as well Sublimation projects, including attachments for mugs, hats, dishes, etc. This is the one I have.
Epson WF 2760 Printer – Use with sublimation ink.
Sublimation Ink for Epson WF 2760– Print designs on sublimation paper, and transfer to project blanks
Sublimation Printer Paper I recently learned that you do not need special sublimation printer paper. Just use your standard printer paper with your printer’s sublimation ink. You do need proper blanks for sublimation projects, such as white or light colored polyester fabric. Mugs, coasters, plates, caps, etc. need to have a special coating to accept sublimation ink.
