Many manufacturers are releasing mid release lines and Imaginisce is no exception. Their recent release is called Garden Party. It is a very Springy floral type of collection that is nice and pretty. They also released a few tools recently, one being the ibond. The ibond is a cordless hot glue gun. Well I am going to be giving you the run down on both today, so here we go!
ibond
Ease of Use: This is super easy to use. Really you could turn this thing on and work it without the instructions, it's that easy.
Construction/Durability: For the most part it is well made. The only part that is questionable is the battery cover. I can see that this could break if too much force is used in putting it back in place.
Usefulness: This is pretty useful. The best part is that it is cordless. You can take it anywhere! No cord and no special batteries. Just 4 AA batteries and you are golden!
Cost effectiveness: With an MSRP of $15.99, I think it is absolutely a fantastic buy!! Love that price tag!
What I liked:
What I liked:
- I liked that it is light weight.
- I liked that it is cordless and takes normal AA batteries.
- I especially like the price tag.
What I disliked:
-I am not sure I like the battery cover. I wish it was rubberized like the back of the handle. That is my only complaint. Nice huh!

Garden Party
What I liked:
-They have a great variety of stamps that come with this line.
-Loved the smaller, tighter patterns that come in the 6x6 paper pad.
-Just a fun springy line.
What I disliked:
-Though I like the stamps, I wish they would have thrown in a sentiment in there.
What I made:

First to comment?! The iBond looks terrific!
I was just wishing my hot glue gun was more portable! the ibond looks perfect (and pink, to boot!)
I'm not usually a pastels person, but the springy look is really appealing to me right now-- we have over 20 inches of snow in my front yard, haha! A cordless glue gun sounds great-- no wires to drag over your table and mess up your projects...

I've never seen a cordless glue gun. That's pretty nifty! I'm not sure that I'm in love with the new line though. I'm usually pretty happy with their stuff, but this isn't my style per se :)

I like the colors in that new line. I'm nowhere ready to start scrapping springy photos though- I'm still working on late summer! Good thing paper doesn't expire! Thanks for the chance to win.
Oh I would love the iBond...i have to get out my corded glue gun today to fix a Christmas project and would rather use the iBond!
a cordless glue gun sounds perfect for me - I always get completely tied up with the cable and end up getting tangled up with it! Oh, and the papers are super sweet!
Happy weekend!
Oh I would love to win the ibond! The cord on my hot glue gun is short, so I am confined to a small area of my desk when using it.
The line is just so so cute and looking 4ward to the glue gun
A cordless hot glue gun sounds like a fantastic idea.
Haha... I had to read it twice! I though you said you glued the headband on with ibond (ouch!!)

I think a cordless glue gun would be awesome! I always have to do the limbo to reach the plug to plug mine in!
Pretty paper, too!
That paper collection looks really great!
I cant believe there wasnt a cordless glue gun on the market before this! Brilliant!!! And in pink no less! I must have one lol! Love the new collection too! thanks for the chance to win!

Can't beat anything that makes my tools a bit more portable :)
Oh, I'm loving that tool! This collection is so pretty!
Love it... CORDLESS HOT GLUE... YEP!!! I can never find my hot glue gun cuz I always have to put it away or the cord is always in my way! OMG...you can even take this to a crop!!! (or carry it in your purse!!).. Gotta get one!! Loving that paper line too! Everything you made is super cute...(esp the baby...lol!!!)
This looks fantastic. With a one year old who likes to be with me when I craft this would make me to not have to worry about cords laying around. I can have it up high and out of his way. Thanks so much for the chance to win.
With two girls of my own and having three nieces, I can definitely use the Garden Party in my scrapbooking. Also, I love tools and cordless ones are portable.
love the I Bond! Cordless....what a fab idea!!!! and Garden Party is gorgeous!!!!
Love the flowers especially in all this snow! I could def bond.
iLove iBond! OK, am I seriously the only one who thought of that (or I'm on the only shmuck who said it).
Great tool, and the Garden Party collection looks wonderful! My girly nieces would go nuts!
Good job on the baby, too! Must have taken some work for that wee project ... she's ADORABLE!
First of all I need the ibond!!! I have a craft glue gun and I have burnt my fingers way too many times.
As for the Garden Party... I LOVE it!!! The colours are perfect for using with photos of my little girls.
Thanks for sharing!!!!
That is the cutest hot glue gun ever!!!
Terrific paperline and I liked the layout. Great stuff...thanks for sharing.
A cordless glue gun?!!! Why didn't I think of that?!! A must have!
SO excited about the ibond!!! And the Enchanted line is great! I just LOVE that sweet headband!!!
Hmmm, never thought of using a hot glue gun in my scrapbooks. Not sure why...Love the beautiful florals in that new line.
Very good work on the baby, Ashley - she's adorable! Love the headband too of course!
I'm not a very pink girly type, but the iBond (even though it's pink) seems very useful... It seems to work for pretty big attachments as well... I wonder if you use more or less of it compared to glue dots...
I usually love Imaginese, but was not interested in this line until I saw your projects. I'd love to have a cordless hot glue gun. The cord is always getting in the way.
I like the springlook of this Garden Party release. And the ibond seems to be a "must-have"
I think it would be handy to have a battery operated glue gun, is it low heat? The paper is pretty too.
I like the idea of no cord on the glue gun! And, the collection is so cute/pretty! TFS!
Looks like a great little glue gun, always hated that cord. The paper collection is so pretty, perfect for babies and spring. Thanks for a chance to win these.

I will definitely buy it! One can never have too much glue!
Lovin the ibond for it's portability and pinkness! Thanks so much for this review and info on these seemingly great products!
I think the iBond is a great tool - why didn't anyone think about a cordless hot glue gun before?!
As for Garden Party...it's hard for me to even think about spring yet (I'm deep in the middle of Christmas cards, after all ;) - but I do like the small florals and the stripes. 6x6 is the way to go for cardmaking!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I think I'd use the iBond tool a lot! I like not having a power cord to worry about and the portability of it then to work anywhere with hot glue. I love the colors in the paper line as well--very girly and pretty and springy. Thanks for the chance to win a great prize! Anne, yourmainestamper
Love the ibond, cordless would be awesome and a must have. I love Garden Party. Very pretty colors.
Possibly a little too girl for me but I like the glue gun. Could see applications for it.
Love that iBond! Gotta wonder why someone didn't make a cordless glue gun before now - I'll definitely be getting this.
Garden Party is a pretty paper line!
Love the stuff you made - especially that baby!
I don't have a glue gun so it would be wonderful to me!
so cute!! (especially the baby!!!)
i am loving the idea of a cordless glue gun...bring it on!!!!
I could really use the ibond! looks like a great tool. the garden party collection looks great too, i have lots of summer and spring photos to scrap.
Love the tool and the colors of the collection are so great- just wish to have some luck
The iBond looks awesome. Maybe I will actually use a glue gun if it doesn't have to be plugged into the wall =). Garden Party is beautiful!
I've been needing a new glue gun and was wondering how this one did. thanks so much for the review-I'm going to get one. I love the idea of no cord.
The i-bond looks a great tool to have around. I love the colors in the Garden Party.
ooooooooh. I would love a cordless glue gun!
oooh! I love that line! perfect for my pictures of gardens! and a cordless glue gun sounds cool!
That Ibond looks amazing and I love what you can do with it.
What cute projects, really like the cute headband. I like that the iBond is cordless and will probably pick one up. Thanks for the review.
i love the garden party collection..such a sweet yummilicious paper.
Insights from Geniuses??? Well, as there is no where else to comment I guess I will have to stick it here. Don't really qualify but I do love to chat! :D
First, your projects are all gorgeous! (Most of all your cutie-patootie) and I love the simplicity of your LO and card. It's so easy when you have PP that speaks for itself. And the headband is such a cute use of scrappy supplies. You can create something special for every occasion.
The cordless glue gun is an awesome idea if it works that well. I get so frustrated with all the cords dangling around my feet when I am doing a project. Sounds good to me!
Thanks for sharing your inspiration and thoughts today! :o)
Love the new line from Imaginisce, but really like the I Bond. I can't wait to get that due to the fact it does not have a cord and I can walk all over with it.
I love that headband, it's such a cute idea. I'll may try it myself (someday), too bad that all the babies that my friends are having... are boys!! ;)
Love your honest review of the I Bond, it will definitely be something I would use, and for the Garden Party, I love it, perfect to scrap my two little grandaughters!! Imaginisce does an amazing job.
Oh, I love all the projects you made! Your layout, headband...everything is so sweet with "Garden Party" collection!! Can't wait for spring to come!! And ibond...a cordless glue gun sounds just perfect!! Thanks for a chance to win!
I have been waiting for the I-Bond since I first saw it. Portable, lightweight and reasonably priced. What's not to like! And thanks for the tip---I'll be careful handling it! And Garden Party will be perfect for pages of my 5 yo granddaughter, and my garden, and Easter, and......LOL! I love it!
I love that little headband! I am going to have to try that out! Too cute!
The paper is so cute and I would love a cordless glue gun!!!!
Hi Ashley! I like soo much this nem collection too. I like yours works with it!!! It's soo girly, soo cute!!!! Congratulations!!

Love this collection. Love your comment about making the baby too. Which is adorable and did such a great job of modeling of for you. Thanks for sharing and a chance to win.
Looks like you've been having fun. LOVE the headband and its so nice and wide and comfy looking. I especially like those two pillows baby's head is resting between...they made me laugh!
Love your projects! The flowers are a pretty addition to the headband. I love this new collection and I can't wait to get my hand on it, and the new i-Bond. I'd love to have a cordless glue gun! Thanks for sharing!
