Making holiday cards is my new favorite pasttime thanks to Fiskars stamp sets. The stamps hold tight to the stamp blocks helping to make clean crisp designs each time. There are so many different designs and phrasees to choose from, its like being 'a kid in a candy shop' when I go shopping for a new set. They clean up really quick and easy too!!! Fiskars stamps are soooooo great!!!!Best Deals for Fiskars Simple Stick 8-Inch-by-8-Inch Stamp, Seasons Greeting
Fiskars makes great stamps, and this is another example of perfection! I love the set, and was able to make adorable cards using these stamps. I coupled the stamps with the Fiskars clear block Fiskars Stamp Block Set 4/Pkg set for perfect placement on the cards. I highly recommend these stamps!Honest reviews on Fiskars Simple Stick 8-Inch-by-8-Inch Stamp, Seasons Greeting

This is some of the best watercolour "Artist" grade paint out there and a generous 1/2 oz to boot with a great price. The color is outstanding, vibrant and has excellent reviews. I have 12 colors so far and will buy more.
Something I found out.... Some "Student" grade watercolour paint is as good as the "Artist/Professional" quality, certain colors that is. READ the label to see what it is made with and how many colors and mixed for the paint. Off course always make sure it is a P for Pigment. So look at:
Grumbacher Academy
Winsor & Newton Cotman
Daler-Rowney Georgian
Da Vinci Scoula
I have a list of colors in my iPhone with the actual pigment number, BSW rating and Lighfastness. It takes a little homework but it will literally save you hundreds of dollars in paint supplies.
The colors are so much different from the other Brands names I have bought or seen.

These are smooooth and lusciously beautiful watercolors. I love them. It's also wonderful to have five cobalts too, colbalts really open up skies. I've always only used Windsor and Newton (which I still love), but I'm happy to have found other excellent paint makers. I love working with these paints.Best Deals for M.

Marvy Uchida Clever Lever Giga Embossing Punch, Grape Leaf Review
don't used cardstock! Which is what i wanted it for... you have to stop what you're doing and dig it out somehow... i bought two... and the first time using both i had to unscrew and take it apart to get the damn cut out out of the product... it would be nice if you could just open it to get it out but nope... and the instructions says to use thin paper .... i tried the cover of a magazine, and that still got stuck inside the machine... not worth it to me...
It cuts finer (under 100 gr/m2) paper like a knife with no effort and makes beautiful embossing. I tried it with paper close to 200gr/m2 and it still cut through; I had to push harder though and the embossing wasn't quite as nice,but still came out. Unfortunately, my choice of paper fell upon a very fine fiber silk paper to achieve natural look but the blades were not sharp enough to cut through. So I ended up cutting out each leaf by hand (only around the tips of the leaflets), which was a bummer. The edges came out as looking rather torn than cut.
Therefore, I would recommend this product for use with regular paper up to 200gr/m2 if you do not wish to fuss with the cutting. The longer side measures 60 mm.

Already reviewed this product in another size. This is a premium watercolorists brush that is soft, comes to an elongated point.

Best Royal & Langnickel Pink Art Keep N' Carry Twin Pack- Acrylic Deals
Customer Ratings: 
List Price: $19.99
Sale Price: $13.00
Today's Bonus: 35% Off

I'm giving this four stars because I received a good deal and I love everything except the acrylic paint. They're relatively thin and don't have much pigment. I'm not quite sure what I could use them for since they don't seem nice enough for any art. Maybe they can be used for practicing brush strokes. I used the watercolor for a wash over a drawing and it worked nicely for me. If they sell the watercolor set alone, I would recommend buying that instead unless you want two cases, which are nice and can be used for other art supplies or tools.
I ordered two other twin sets along with this set. Part of my order was missing. I reported it to Amazon and they immediatey fixed the problem. I was very pleased with the response.

Cheap Foam Kit - Makes 42-Fish
I bought this for decorations for an under-the-sea theme. They were cute, easy to make, and lightweight so I could use magnets or tape to stick them on things. This would also be a fun project for little kids. My only complaint is that the description says it comes with magnets and mine did not. I had to buy magnets separately.

Reviews of Plaid Handmade Charlotte Laser Stencils
These are pretty tiny, I was hoping for a bigger design but I still like it.. unfortunately it takes a long time to paint as the templates themselves are small too.. Tips Spray on adhesive that is re-positionable makes it easier to keep on going and reduces bleeding (I used Krylon easy-tack) bring a cardboard box to lay the template in and spray so you don't get over spray on anything else.. position the first row of shapes over the last row painted to keep the lines perfectly matched up.
Paint did not bleed thru edges like most do.

i purchased the "moroccan tile" stencil in the hopes of using it to paint my rug [weird i know], but the outlines are much thinner than i anticipated. i will likely end up using it later for crafty things or actually painting a wall, but not quite what i intended. it is a quality product, and yes, some reviewers wanted to be able to paint the inverse portion the black shapes. well people, that isnt a stencil. then its just moroccan shapes that arent actually held together.Tuesday, August 5, 2014
Triple 196870-1001 Track Refill Blade For No.9893 Reviews
5 stars for the item 3 stars for the marketing.
I ordered the wrong thing.....I think. There are two distinct styles of blades for the Fiskars Personal Paper Trimmer. "Original (Style G)" and "Triple Track (Style 1)". Blades referred to as "High Profile" refer to the improved Triple Track (Style 1) blade. This is very unclear when ordering from any vendor. The seller needs to show a profile view of the blade. I will post photos of all 3 blade styles.
Also, a 2-pack can mean 1 cutting blade & 1 scoring blade, or it can mean 2 cutting blades. To me the scoring blade was useless. Some people might be able to use it for folding. I just want to trim paper and photos.
As far as I can tell, item #2639 and #9596 = Old style, and item #96** = triple track.
Check out my photo submission showing all 3 styles
I had a bad experience with Amazon on Friskars products. I already owned a paper cutter. No model number appears on it. The blade was very worn. I looked in Amazon and saw that they carried Friskars carriage blades.
Buy new: $6.30
When I received them I realized that they would not fit. The channels are too deep. I have a picture of both types but am unable to send it to you with this message. So then, I ordered this:
Fiskars 9698 Euro 12-Inch Portable Paper Trimmer by FISKARS
Buy new: $25.99 $21.49
That turns out to be exactly the same as what I already owned, but it did come with two of the correct blades which I would like to keep. I would like to be able to return the new paper cutter and the two incorrect blades (both packages have been opened). You would do yourselves a big favor by getting Amazon squared away on what works with wheat. Model numbers would make this much easier.

I for some reason assumed everyone else just ordered without doing their homework, so despite all the one-star reviews citing that it did not fit, I ponied up and ordered them when I lost my cutting carriage. After consulting the Fiskars site and double checking make and model, I was confident these would work. Nope. No deal. They don't even come close to fitting, so you can't even use these in any way with the trimmer. Booo!Best Deals for Triple 196870-1001 Track Refill Blade For No.9893
We ordered these to replace dull ones on our paper trimmer. They were supposed to be the right ones but when they arrived ... oops ... close but not exact. These had a channel on either side that the old ones didn't. Hubby got out his Drimmel and cut the channel off and they work like a charm. There were no numbers to refer to so no way to assure these were exactly the same thing but all worked out well ultimately. These little blades last a LONG time good product.Honest reviews on Triple 196870-1001 Track Refill Blade For No.9893

Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Postcard Kit, Best Buds Review
This Crafty Secrets Heartwarming Vintage Postcard Kit, Best Buds is pretty and adorable. The little stamps set enclosed is also adorable.
The finished postcards can be hung up as decorations, such as on a wall or Christmas tree.
This specific set includes flower-oriented postcards. Designs include a bird flying to the left of a bouquet, a little girl holding a flower basket, three girls with a dog, and a few rose bouquets.
While there's little negative that I can say about this craft kit, the one problem I do have with them is that the chipboard is subject to warp after the postcard design is adhered to it or the chipboard is otherwise dampened (such as with antiquing liquid). When you make them, be sure to press them under heavy books and be patient with the drying process at each step a dampening product is added.

I really like these postcard kids, and have used two of them. The basic premise is to take the included paper-thin sheets, cut out the postcard designs, and adhere them to the included specially-shaped chipboard. (You will need such additional craft supplies as scissors, a clear stamp block, glue, ink pads, and something to hang the postcards with in order to do this craft.) The reverse side can be embellished with the included stamps to resemble the "writing" side of a vintage postcard. Of course, really crafty people can do even more than just these basics.The finished postcards can be hung up as decorations, such as on a wall or Christmas tree.
