Review of Rustic Finish Fairy Garden Size Charming Wooden Picket Fence- Set
I really love these little garden fences. They look authentic and have fit into all the designs very well. The only thing that would make them perfect is if they were resin so they wouldn't eventually rot in the moist conditions of my fairy gardens. If used indoors with a miniature setting and no soil then they would be perfect.

I own these dies and they are excellent. I use them with the Big Shot machine. I can't think of anything negative to say about them. They're great for cards, scrapbooks, mini albums or any paper project you're working on
Muy lindo Die, pero no logro un corte limpio con mi Big Shot. Ademas de poner el sizzix mat mat los 2 acrilics pads, debo poner extra volumen para el corte (le agrego cartón o algunos papeles adicionales)
Igualmente los Spellbinders son los Dies mas lindos del mercado, los seguire comprando.

I ordered the Spellbinders Nestabilities Classic Scalloped Circles Die Template in large and used one of the dies tonight. They do as they say they will do. I still need to play around some more and see what else I can do w/them. I'm not sure what the difference is between the large and small. But this is my first Spellbinders Nestabilities set and I love it.Monday, November 24, 2014

The kit is okay.... my wire cutters were the only issue with the kit. They had a small spot of rust on them (not on the blades) which isn't too big of a deal. But they didn't cut well. They serve the purpose well buy not great. I do recommend but only if you have another pair of cutters.

This is a really nice, complete set of tools that I purchased to replace my old tools, which were marring my materials. These tools don't leave marks and are of good quality. I don't know if they'd be good enough for a professional jeweler, but they are definitely perfect for a hobbyist like myself. They fit my hands perfectly, however, I have very small hands and I don't know how someone with large hands will feel about them. The case they come in is attractive, and the double bands inside keep the tools neat. They're a little tight, though, and its difficult to put some of the tools back in place, especially the bent nose chain pliers. Also, the case doesn't close properly if you don't put the tweezers back in the "correct position." This is something I can get used to, but I still find it annoying at the moment. These few flaws are very minor in my opinion, and do not change the fact that the tools are excellent and that the case is mostly very good.Best Deals for BEADSMITH 8 FASHION- OLIVE COLOR TOOL SET FOR MAKING JEWELRY

Reviews of Plaid 20961 Apple Barrel Acrylic Paint, 24 Color Set
These are great colors, beautiful for nail art. goes on smooth and lasts. i use a nailpolish base, paint details with these paints, and seal with a top coat and it last and lasts. These are great, i def recommend for nail artThis is a nice basic set of colorsgood variety. The paint has good consistencysmall pots though. There is enough paint for small projects, but not for large areasalso good for touch ups. If you have a bigger project I would suggest getting the 2 oz size bottles of the colors you need.

Buy Come2buy 100pc 12mm Painted Colorful Spot Pyramid Studs Metal Claw
There were NOT 100 pieces inside the package. It completely gave a false advertisement of the quantity of the product. I was missing over 20 studs. I did not like that at all.the prongs were really flimsy so I wouldn't suggest this for thicker fabrics but otherwise there are awesome. I like the look of them too

I love both Quinacridone Burnt Orange and Quinacridone Gold from Daniel Smith. Quinacridone Burnt Orange is very similar to Pompeii Red which is also brilliantreddish golden lusciousness.
It is a transparent, granulating, low staining color that mixed with French ultramarine blue makes a gorgeous moody sky. Mixed with sap green you get a deeper mossy color for shadows.

Winsor & Newton Cotman Water Colour Mini Plus Set each Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $41.79
Sale Price: $23.63
Today's Bonus: 43% Off

I am a very active plein aire watercolorist. I own and use more than a dozen small, half-pan watercolor boxes, about a half dozen from Winsor & Newton. To my mind this model, the mini PLUS is a brilliant design, in honesty, rivaling Winsor & Newton's legendary but much more expensive "Bijou Box". It contains about the practical minimum number of hues in an easily used package. Just brilliant! Although plastic, the box is quite sturdy. Despite holding the Cotman or student grade line of paints, I've found it still wonderful to use. (The difference between my not-so-good efforts and the accidental good ones is not student ("Cotman") versus professional ("Artist's") Winsor & Newton paints.) I can strongly recommend this unit for the serious traveler or plein aire watercolorist traveling light. What I cannot recommend or understand is either the "toy" category or the list price. At another site I paid half this and received it in two days, ordinary shipping.
In short: NOT a toy. Children make hopeless messes of cake / pan kits, mixing and thus ruining the colors at the source. (I teach children with tube colors.)
Too expensive (list price) at this particular vendor.
As typical for this genre, the included brush is unsatisfactory. Too small. You'll need to augment this with a good, larger travel brush.
However, otherwise a just outstanding product for an adult watercolorist wanting a sturdy and compact travel outfit. Were it not framed here as a list-priced toy, I'd have given it a good 4.5 stars.
I agree with the reviewer who wrote that one might not want any fewer colors in the kit to work with, but this product works really well as a travel palette. It also has a reasonable amount of mixing area, especially considering the size of the product. I use a waterbrush with this kit instead of the delivered brush (which is too tiny to be practical for my needs).
A worthwhile purchase.
Excllent gift. Good for all ages...not just kids.

Review of Martha Stewart Gloss Transparent Glass Paint, 2-Ounce
I used this on mason jars and got an uneven effect. However, I used the color Wedding Cake on mason jars and got an even coating. I used the same technique for each color, but the blue had streaking. We decorated the blue jars with wide lace ribbon wrapped around them, and wrapped the white jars with burlap ribbon. We then added battery-operated tealights, and you couldn't tell the blue paint was uneven.

I only wish the plastic case it came in was more of a durable case than simple packaging. I was on the verge of throwing the container away but I realized that I don't really have an organizer pen/cil case to hold 16 of these, so I have to just keep all of them in the container which is okay, but a small hassle to discreetly keep in my small backpack or purse when on-the-go. Definitely recommended for artists or just people who enjoy pen & ink coloring and drawing. Overall, a great purchase and quality item.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Sakura 50075 16-Piece Pigma Micron 05 Assorted Colors Cube

Silhouette Vinyl Starter Kit Review
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $31.49
Today's Bonus: 21% Off

It is exactly what it says, a starter pack for vinyl work "...if you've wanted to create vinyl art and haven't known where to start, this is the place"
I will review the box contents below:
The box contains:
=================
A) 4 sheets of premium vinyl (9-inch by 24-inch of black, white, dark pink, leaf green): it would have been nice if it had more lengthy samples, but then again it's a starter pack.
B) 10-feet of premium transfer paper: nice to have for future projects as well
C) Silhouette hook & Silhouette scraper: These are pretty handy tools when working with vinyl, the hook will help you get those "negative" vinyl out of the way before applying transfer paper. And the scrapper helps you have the vinyl in its right place without air bubbles, it's not exceptionally required though as you can use any credit card like card for the same purpose, it's nice to have though :)
D) Exclusive download card good for 10 vinyl designs: This one entitles you to download 10 free vinyl designs, with text messages, house shape, frame shapes, a train, a tree branch and a couple more..
E) Idea booklet: This is a couple f pages that gives you the general idea, but you can find more resources online
F) The instructional DVD: This is simply a video on how to start :)
Over all, I'd say it's a good starter pack, would have been nice though if it was a little cheaper, and had more lengthy samples, thus the four stars :)
I emailed customer service to inform them I had 2 hooks, but no scraper thingy. Response "hey no problem send us you address and name, and serial number and we will ship one out. One problem-my came machine isn't here yet, so no serial number. I told them I would email it to them when it arrived.
So yeah normally thats...wait and wait, then send the serial number when you get your machine, then wait some more right? Nah, these guys said, "ah skip that then, just your name and addy and we will take care of you". i suspect they looked up my serial number from that since my machine was still in the mail.
This is what buying a product should feel like. When they mess up they take care of it.
The demonstration video is borderline useless. I had to watch a few videos on YouTube to really get a feel for how things work. My first vinyl project turned out flawless (maybe because I read/re-read the instructions multiple times and watched other videos). I'm really excited to come up with new vinyl projects.
Two more points: (1) I think some crafters don't believe the "scraper" tool is worth buying, but I disagree. Although it is just a piece of molded plastic, I get much better results with it than an old credit card it is more sturdy and fits in your hand better. (2) This one is silly, but perhaps some users can relate: I like the box it came in. My office/scrapbook room/junk room gets pretty cluttered and these starter kit boxes are great to keep your Silhouette stuffs organized.

I bought this kit after purchasing the new Silhouette Cameo. I am a novice when it comes to vinyl. There was a lot of trial and error in the beginning with cutting depth. I have found that the Silhouette Vinyl is of much better quality than what I have found at hobby stores. My kit came with black, soft pink, and a lime green vinyl rolls. The transfer tape is very good compared to others I have used. I recommend buying this as it is a great deal and far less expensive than purchasing everything separately.Best Deals for Silhouette Vinyl Starter Kit
Not too much in the package, some vinyl, a DVD I have yet to watch, pretty much what I expected. Except...wait a minute...Mine was missing the scraper! Thus begins my tale of woe....errr..wait a minute. or not. Usually these experiences leave me annoyed, and frustrated. Often its "spend more money then its worth to ship x to us, prove your identity, and include a hair sample". Not here.I emailed customer service to inform them I had 2 hooks, but no scraper thingy.

Honest reviews on Silhouette Vinyl Starter Kit
I'm not incredibly talented at crafting, and the Silhouette was a splurge. I've been dipping my toes into the possibilities of the cutting machine and finally purchased this starter kit. If the price is right, the kit is a great value one can probably determine this by looking at the price for a hook, scraper, a full size roll of transfer paper and adding it together. There are "sample" pieces of 4 colors of vinyl, but not full rolls.The demonstration video is borderline useless. I had to watch a few videos on YouTube to really get a feel for how things work. My first vinyl project turned out flawless (maybe because I read/re-read the instructions multiple times and watched other videos). I'm really excited to come up with new vinyl projects.
