bought this claw ring following the release of Snow White and the Huntsman, because I love the effect of the claw ring with Ravenna! And though this one is not the same with the one she used, it nonetheless could make up for it.

Just moved into a new house with a lot of blank walls. My husband and I made a bunch of 'art' with pre-stretched canvases, acrylic paint, painters tape, and stencils as placeholders although some of them we love so they may stick around.

I bought these stencils to make fun farm-related scenes for our kitchen.

The stencils are high quality and the designs are cute. I appreciated how most the designs are to the same scale so you could make a complex scene.

We made all the animals in crazy colors floating on clouds so we didn't exactly require realism...

I have to start by saying that I have almost all of the Tim Holtz acrylic stamps. I initially realized that acrylic stamps are a much poorer investment than cling ones. Obviously the price difference is only a few dollars and acrylic stamps perform poorly and pearl up if used with a dye ink pad. Without realizing until much later, I have acquired almost all dye ink pads and have learned to prefer them over pigment ones. Not only is all of this true, but acrylic stamps don't last forever. Extreme heat and cold cracks acrylic stamps or melts them beyond repair. I wanted these for professional use, so I took the leap and started investing in all red rubber.

The storage with these is solved because the stamps are placed on a plastic, 3 hole-punched storage sheet that fits into a binder. Many will like this, but for me this was a nuisance. I truly wanted these organized by theme in plastic CD cases. The other line by Tim Holtz that is also cling mounted (smaller sheets, like Seamless Experience) have the designs stamped onto the foam backing. That was a blessing because when I put them in clear cases, they easily show the designs. With these, that doesn't happen. The designs are only stamped on the backing sheets and not on the actual foam. The foam just says Stampers Anonymous.

The second thing I did not like is the fact that these stamps are much smaller than their acrylic versions. I was hoping to purchase these and switch them out with their acrylic counterparts. Of course, this will not be happening. It was tricky for me to know this because none of the craft stores nearby have these so I did not see this in person. However, if you are like me, you will be disappointed to notice that the flourish is half the size of the acrylic one, the flowers are also on a smaller scale as well as the wings. The text was luckily printed on the same scale as was the quotes. However, I was really wanting the florals to be on a large scale too. Does this make this a bad set? No, it is still a quality product that I use, but won't be able to replace the acrylic set due to size. I figure the cost of the red rubber to manufacture these is obviously higher, but I somehow feel that for a few dollars slapped on extra it could've been done.

I do recommend these designs as they are versatile and stamp perfectly well. The rubber is very good quality and washes off each time. Some stamp sets suffer from poor rubber that stains way too easily. Tim Holtz's line clearly does not. I would buy these again, but I am disappointed about the scale on which these were manufactured.

I use these delicate, beautiful stamps for stamping on my ceramic pieces. I use a very thin painted underglaze on palette paper and press the stamp onto it and then onto my ceramic piece. Let it dry or use hairdryer and then you can put several small bits of color on the butterflies and WOW, this gives that boring ceramic piece new life when it is fired. If you fail, just wipe it off, dry, and do it again.

If you are looking for a nice variety of butterfly stamps, this is good one to choice. Different sizes and different designs on each allow you to make many variations on designs.

I took a chance with this purchase because somebody failed to impart the most important info as far as I'm concerned and that would be the size of individual butterflies. Knowing the overall size of the packaging doesn't help me at all. I need specifics. There are 9 beautiful cling stamps that range in size from 3/4" to a little over 2-1/4". Acrylic stamps should be cleaned with warm soapy water so no need to worry about special stamp cleaner.

Now for some blockbuster info. If you try as hard as I do to save money you will love this. Rather then spending $$ for an acrylic bar to use in stamping (because you do need to stick it onto something) dig out a CD case. The cover takes on a stamp and provides enough of a lip on two sides to hold on to while stamping. To deconstruct a CD case, gently release front from back at the 2 little posts. Pop out the black piece by wedging a smallish screwdriver in crevice at bottom. Entire process will take about 4 seconds. But wait....here's more good news!! Empty CD cases are a fabulous way to store your cling stamps too.

The stamps are very detailed and on the larger stamps, depending on how steady a hand you have, using oval pots with pointed ends (VersaMagic and ColorBox see links) and put several colors on your butterflies. All in all I am 100% pleased with my stamps.Tsukineko VersaMagic Dew Drop Inkpad of All Kinds, 4-Pack, Fruit CocktailColorBox Classic Pigment Queue Ink Pad, Jelly Beans

I do,alot of mail art and I wanted some smaller-sized hot air balloon stamps. I had seen some mail art in a crafts magazine using one of these three stamps and I loved it, and of course amazon.com had the set. I never thought I would like the clear stamps that you place on an acrylic block (sold separately in stores or on line and they come in different sizes) as I was used to rubber stamps, but the clear ones are very easy to use and you can see through the acrylic to see exactly where you are stamping the image. They are also easy to clean and store. To make a long story shorter, I really love this set of clear stamps. I stamp them at the edge of an envelope or card.

As a novice knitter, I wanted to try something different--hence, the round knitting loom! My daughter got a single one by Knifty Knitter, and wouldn't let me use hers. I wanted to get something similar, and found the whole set for less than what my friend paid for the single Knifty Knitter adult hat loom! Yay! So far, so good! No real noticeable difference in the brands, honestly. Both are solid and well-made. I can honestly recommend this product!! Easy to use, good directions, and it's simple enough for an 8 year old!

Honest reviews on Darice 1171-58 Set of 4 Round Plastic Knitting Looms

I got this product today after ordering it on Sunday. Did I mention I LOVE Amazon Prime? I have always wanted to knit and have tried numerous times to teach myself via book, DVD, etc. and never could grasp it. After playing around with these looms for an hour, I had the concept down and was well on my way to loom knitting a hat. It would have taken me only 15-30 minutes to get it right except I had multiple distractions --kids.

So far, in the past four hours, I have knitted two hats and am looking online for other projects to get started on. Please note that the instructions that came with the looms were of little benefit to me. It wasn't until I searched the web that I found a technique I could understand and run with.

I would recommend this product to anyone who, like me, could never learn knitting the "traditional" way. Also, I would recommend these looms for anyone who has arthritic problems. I have a difficult time performing a lot of tasks with my hands. They either become too stiff, cramp or ache horribly doing simple tasks. Given the size of the looms and the ease of pulling the yarn using the knitting tool that comes with the looms, I had very little problems. I did have to stop occasionally because of the above arthritic issues, however, I didn't have to stop as often as I do when typing and certainly not as often as I have to rest my hands when handwriting. I was both shocked and thrilled at the same time.

As of this writing, I have absolutely nothing negative to say about this product. I'll revisit my review after using them for a month or two.

Discount Hiya Hiya Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needles: Small size

Hiya Hiya Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needles: Small size set-5in tips
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
I really like these. The 4" length is more comfortable to me than longer needles but I'm sure that's not true for everyone. I like that they start with a size 2 needle where most interchangables start with a size 4. They do hang a little on the join sometimes but not so bad that it's a problem to me. I know some people complain of them coming unscrewed while working with them but I have been using them for about a year now and have never had one come unscrewed while I was using it. The cables are very thin and practically kink free.

I only gave 4 stars because of the lack of accessories. I wish they had a way to join 2 or more cables and also some sort of stop that could be screwed on the ends to keep the stitches from falling off if you remove the needles to use on another project and want to use the cable as a stitch holder.

Overall these are my favorite interchangables and I would recommend them to anyone that knits. Great price and the smaller sizes that I prefer in a nice little fabric case that is easy to stick in my knitting bag to take with me.

I have been knitting for many years with many types of needles including at least 4 sets of interchangeable circulars but when HiyaHiya came out with a set with swivel joins, I had to try them out to see if I was missing something. I purchased a set of the interchangeable 5" sharp circulars (they come in 4 inch too). After 3 months of using them all I can say is "WOW".

Pointy circular needles are my favorite for most projects and the HiyaHiya sharps did not disappoint. The cables are thin and flexible and they swivel, which is uncommom. This means minimal kinking. Magic loop is a breeze. I hand tighten and they do not come apart, but they come with rubber grips if you need them. The set starts with size 2 needles(other sets start with size 4) thru size 8. It comes with 4 cables, but the 16 inch cable does not work well with the 5 inch tips. So I have bought a few additional 4 inch tips to use with the 16 inch cable.

The fabric case is well made but closes with a funky bow tie which I have removed and replaced with a gold button. I liked this set so much, I purchased an additional set in bamboo. The price, compared to other brands, is very reasonable.

If you are new to knitting or a veteran knitter, I highly recommend a HiyaHiya Interchangeable set.

Best Deals for Hiya Hiya Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needles: Small size

I am fairly new to knitting, just over 2 years, but I did not own many circulars and really did not want to buy several individual lengths and sizes so I began researching interchangeable sets. I am lucky enough to be near a local yarn shop and was able to play with this set as well as the hiya sharps before I had to decide. I think the sharps would be great if you are a tight knitter, but since I use my finger to push stitches off, after a row or two my finger was pretty sore, and I do not knit tightly so I do not really need the sharp points. I am currently working on a sweater and despite a large # of stitches I have not needed to tighten the joins. Just use the included rubber grips to tighten or loosen the cable and you should be set. Also, the needles have a swivel which is pretty neat and keeps the cables from getting twisted. Anyways, so far I really enjoy these needles, they slide really well no matter what type of yarn I have used. I will probably get the larger set eventually, so if you are still thinking about these needles, get them and enjoy! :)

Honest reviews on Hiya Hiya Steel Interchangeable Knitting Needles: Small size

Got this set for myself and I love it. As long as you use the grips included to tighten the needles, you shouldn't have to worry about them coming loose while you knit. The case is gorgeous and wonderfully helpful. The cords are flexible and the points are sharp enough. (If you like sharper points, I would advise the Hiya Hiya Sharps set.) All in all, I'm happy with this set.

These are super! I love the swivel feature and they knit about as smoothly as my Addi Clicks. I have never had them come apart like the Addi interchangeables, and the cable doesn't kink! I even love the case! I will be ordering the other sized set, as well as the adapters.

As the other review mentioned, the color is a subtle gold and sparkly which is really pretty. However, I bought it to be used on a dark chocolate color paper for my URL but it is too transparent for the alphabet to show. If you plan on using it on a dark background, this may not work for you unless you use embossing powder as well to help your design stand out.
