One bead shows the green glass mixed all the way through and it's very pretty. The other bead shows the greenish part is only close to the center, so when you look from the side you basically see a clear glass bead. Also the silver part is not fused so tight to the glass. I'm disappointed because this was to be a gift. I expected "Two Bead Set" to be a closely matched set as shown in the image. They sould look fairly even... instead it's like two different beads. If you don't care that they may not match then they are nice. However, I do feel it's unfair to list them as a set, rather it should say "no two exactly alike".

Two Aqua Teal Glitter Art Glass Beads for Your European Charm Reviews
Very nice beads. I bought them for a starter bracelet along with a charm from a different vendor. The beads were true to color that was represented on Amazon. The beads arrived quickly and in good condition. They fit the Pandora bracelet perfectly. A good value for the money!

I got these to make Christmas cards with, but I don't think I actually used one at all. The large one was the one I wanted most but it kept ripping the paper I was using. Maybe it would have been better with a different type of paperI like this brand of embossing folder because it's easy to position your paper in it without it slipping. The results are the same every time.

Buy Ranger TCW-TIM-29663 Tim Holtz Adirondack Color Wash Dye Spray
Delivery from Scrapbooking Alley was very fast. Their prices compared to a number of retailers is also very good and shipping is free with at least $50 in purchases or a very reasonable $5.95 up to $50.
A big note for those who purchased the 4oz Color Wash spray in the last year: Ranger discontinued several colors like Pesto, Mushroom, Terra Cotta etc. and also discontinued the 4oz size. Now there is only a 2oz size but it costs the same as the 4oz size so that works out to a 100% price increase. Thanks a lot Ranger.
The 2oz size does however spray a finer mist than the 4oz size. The 4oz sprayed lots of large drops regardless of the angle it was used at but was easy to transfer to a bottle with a finer spray.
All the color wash sprays work incredibly well on a number of materials. I've used it mainly on paper, card-stock and grass-cloth and the color on those has become permanent when dry. After spraying with the color wash sprays you can spray a fine mist of water to blend the colors further. The colors are really rich but they are less intense than the matching alcohol inks. When purchasing note that even the 2oz goes really far as you use relatively small amounts for great effect.
A quick tip is to use a cardboard box layered with paper or card-stock when spraying. This prevents the spray from getting on other objects or furniture and also gives a two for one as you get some interesting looking paper in addition to the item you are spraying. Another tip is that the large drops normally emerge within the first three sprays so if you are trying to avoid a splotchy look use the spray on paper first before spraying your object.I miss the old, larger size of this product, but am happy it's still in production. Works great on both paper and fabric. Water based, so it will reactivate if it comes in contact with water or another water-based product. Dilute some in a separate container and you have two colors.

List Price: $8.99

Very disappointed. These stencils are not as I expected...I thought they would be plastic since when you use a stencil it is generally with wet paint and no where in the description does it say they are made of very thin cardboard, they aren't even as sturdy as the type of board that cereal boxes are made of. I would return these, but since I'd have to pay to ship them back it wouldn't even be worth it. I wish I had read the other person's review that says they are cardboard and you need to punch the letters out yourself, sigh. I guess I was confused because the blue and white front picture in the package looks like blue plastic stencils. Boo. Amazon's descriptions are sometimes seriously lacking.

They are cardboard and you have to be very careful when punching out the letters and I don't know if they are reuseable, but they are not very strong.

Discount Cookie & Cupcake Stencils
I was so excited to use these the day they arrived. The holiday stencils are all too large for the top
of a cupcake or cookie. The only one I could use was the snowflake. The designs of the stencils are all
over 3 inches 2 inches would have fit much better.These are great useful stencils to use throughout the year. Perfect size for cookies or cakes. Gives a great festive look for your treats.

Cheap Wolff's Carbon Pencil Set
Gave these 4 stars but really mean 4.5 stars. These are a four pencil set to 6B softness. The idea of using carbon pencils is get the dark tones without the sheen you get when using graphite. I guess the pencils are more "charcoal like" than graphite but without quite the messiness of pure charcoal. Do not expect to cleanly erase these carbon pencil lines...ain't gonna happen. Yeah, it will still produce residue, just carefully store your drawings.

Buy this item with confidence.Honest reviews on Wolff's Carbon Pencil Set
If you want really great black pencils, this is it. When using graphite pencils, you can never really get super black and the harder you press to get dark the shinier it gets and it gives a glare and does not go dark enough. These do not glare or shine and give a nice deep dark black....perfect for the pupils of the eye dark highlights.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Wolff's Carbon Pencil Set

I have tried every combination possible, but I cannot get the intricate edges cut out cleanly. I wouldn't mind having to poke all of the little tidbits of paper out, if it would first CUT cleanly!
They cut out well and you can use a metal shim if needed. Refer to youtube videos if you need any help!

I noticed someone wrote that she couldn't get the fine details of this die to come out. With my machine (Grand Calibur) I added a small shim (piece of cardstock), ran the die at an angle several times and I put a piece of wax paper between the die and the paper. Sometimes I have to poke a few pieces out but it comes out perfect every time. I love this die and the process works with all of my intricate dies. So much fun . . . so little time.

Best 25 Cone Variegated Polyester Embroidery Thread Set - 1000M Spools Deals

List Price: $69.99

Unfortunately my experience with this thread was not as admirable as the two other reviewers. I've tried several spools in this collection in my Brother PE770, and all shredded and broke. Switched back to Embroidex or Hemingworth, same project, same stabilizer, same pattern and no breaks or shreds. I basically gave up using this because while some of the colors are desirable, I just don't want the delays of having my machine gummed up with shredded thread.
One negative: no locking spool bottoms. Lots of other people offered solutions to get around this, it doesn't bother me.

I tried other variegated thread and it was a nightmare. These doesn't break the needle, the thread comes off the spools perfectly and rarely, if ever, break during a project. The colors are fantastic! A few are longer color strands, so be sure and unwind the thread to gauge how often (or less often) the color changes. It definitely adds dimension to my machine embroidery projects!One negative: no locking spool bottoms. Lots of other people offered solutions to get around this, it doesn't bother me.

when you buy an embroidery machine you hear the sales people telling you to get a trust worthy brand of thread such as sulky or thread they carry. They often advise against getting it from only unless it is that trusted brand. Well me and many in my family have both tried this brand and have found that it is a trusted brand and both are going to purchase more from this company. If you are to get this set I would advise you getting enough spool net to put around each spool as the thread comes off the spool easy and with the net it makes this the best thread purchase that my family and I have every bought. With the multicolor thread it can bring a whole new look to your embroidery. I try to use this when ever I can incorporate it into my design. Threadare has many thread products that my family and I have tried, when it comes to polyester embroidery thread from them you can not go wrong and the price makes it an added value.Monday, March 31, 2014

I was given these markers as a gift for my 12 year old triplets to use and I found I was using them more than them. Now don't get me wrong, they loved them too, but they are not just for kids. I used to be in the restaurant business and I would have loved to have had these for menu special boards, window messages, employee white board messages, etc. These markers work on so many different surfaces, they do the job of chalk, dry erase, and permanent markers. I will definitely buy some more when these run out, but they appear to last for a long time. I have three girls using them constantly and they still mark as though they just came out of the box....very good product.
This is a must have if you run a restaurant, cafe, diner, retail store, car dealership, or even just a lemonade stand!!

I'm working on this one now, just for fun on sick days and after ten-hour workdays, and the rainbow background is much tougher and more unforgiving than the metallic backgrounds. It's a beautiful design, but I wouldn't recommend it for your first scratch art project.
