I am quite pleased w/ the way the invitations came out in the end, but it was very difficult to get them printed. I only used the invitations, not the reply cards (will use them as thank you notes). The first problem I experience was in formating the paper to the proper size and spacing. The on-line templates were not good. Finally got it sized and aligned correctly. Then it wouldn't print on my home computer (only tried the test pages). I've printed odd size paper w/ my home computer before so I know my printer can handle it, but couldn't get this one to print properly.

Then tried on a printer at work. Got it to work on the test paper. Alignment was fine. Tried the invitations, but they were too thick and the printer kept jamming.

Tried a 3rd printer heavy duty one at work. FINALLY, success!! I was very frustrated and thought I was going to have to go to Kinkos. The cost of having them printed at Kinkos would have wiped out any savings over printing the invitations on a website like vistaprint or another on-line invitation company.

If you decide to buy these, first cut a 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper in half (5.5 x 8.5" is the size of the invitation). Try to print it in your home printer. If you can't get the alignment correct, don't buy them. If you can, try it on thick paper if you have it. If you can still print, go ahead w/ the purchase. If not, try another brand.

The invitation looked lovely with the eggplant ribbons and pearl detail. However, a lot of work went into assembling the invitations and tying the ribbons was complicated. Mailing the invitation cost $0.20 extra per invitation because of the thickness added by the pear. I also found out that the sorting machines that the post office use had punched a whole in the envelope where the pearl was purtruding and it had torn off the pearl! So in hindsite we should have placed the RSVP card and envelope against the pearl to protect it. Over all I think the invitations were fantastic for the price.

The invitations themselves are nice. Personally, I like the burgundy color, and I feel like that is what was displayed on the box. However, the ribbon and bows do not match at all. While the border of the paper is dark burgundy, the ribbon and bows are bright purple. They do not match the paper; in fact, it looks completely ridiculous and cheap with the two mismatched colors. I'm disappointed that the colors were misrepresented on the box. I was led to believe that everything would be dark burgundy. Instead, I'm stuck with mismatched colors that look cheap and very uncoordinated.

Honest reviews on Wilton Pocket Invitation Kit

I ordered the Happy Day Invitations, and I got lots of compliments! They were cheaper and just as good quality as many of the expensive ones that you can have custom ordered. The invitation itself has a cute, floral, pearly patterned edge, and it slips into a sparkly floral sleeve. The bows are cute and have little rhinestones on them. The tricky thing with the bows is that they get a little smashed in the shipping process, so I had to straighten them out some before affixing them to the invitation with the provided doubled sided tape. The reply cards have the matching floral pearly border. The envelopes are of high quality, the adhesive works well too. I liked the online printing very much--I only needed to use 1 test sheet to confirm that that it would work. The templates were great, and there are lots of different pre-made options so that you can basically just fill in the blanks and you don't have to think as much about the wording because many of the classic wordings can be found as templates. You can also use the template purely just for sizing, and enter whatever you want.

Wilton has a website where their products are listed and you can tailor what is written in them accordingly to the occassion. I found this very helpful because that way I did not have to come up with my own messages or worry about centering, etc. the message. They even had suggested things to write. I really liked that they also provided extra paper to print out the message so you would see before hand what it would look like-this helped as I made several changes and helped with figuring out how to print on the actual product.

Yes I'm a dressmaker by choice. I was curious about the AccuquiltGo, of course, but when I realized it's capability for cutting perfect bias strips I was SOLD. I've purchased the dies in the most common bias strip widths that I use. I can't tell you how pleased I am to be able to cut perfect strips, again and again. This is especially welcome as I age and need all the extra help I can get. Dressmakes, this tool is not for Quilters ONLY.

Best Pentel Arts Fabric Fun Pastel Dye Sticks, 15 Color Set (PTS-15) Deals

Customer Ratings:

These reminded me of oil pastels (which I love...on paper or canvas) in that they are messy to work with. They are like soft crayons and they smear a lot. I found them difficult to work with, but that's probably my fault. They weren't adequate for what I needed them (fabric markers worked much better, if you need detail). I still liked the intense color of these better, though, since the markers tend to look washed out. These are bright and stay that way after washing. They seem like they can be fun and I'll probably give them another shot when I'm feeling creative.

I purchased the Pentel Arts Fabric Fun Pastel Dye Sticks as part of a Christmas gift for my 9 year old daughter. She has gotten quite a bit of use out of them so far and so has her sister. They go on the fabric very easily. The color is very rich and stays put. I would definitely get these over fabric markers and unless you want the texture that fabric paint gives, I'd choose these over the paint too. If you like oil pastels, that is pretty much what these are except for fabric. I've washed the shirts my daughter "designed" several times now and the color hasn't faded yet. These offer a lot of creative fun for a small price.

So you open the pack of Dye Sticks and see what looks like a set of Crayons, but... Crayons are for kids! These Dye sticks are serious business. Not that a child couldn't use these, but they might not grasp the blending and smudging of colors.

Speaking of smudging, I found (after using a whole set) that if you roughly color in the area you want, say red. Then I use a little piece of fabric to smudge the red all over the area. Smudging not only saves dye sticks, it gives you a smoother more consistent color. Since the colors are smudg-able, be careful not to drag your hand through different colors or get carried away smudging and blend colors you wanted separate.

These little sticks are wonderful. I've used them for designing shirts and ties and am quite pleased.

Honest reviews on Pentel Arts Fabric Fun Pastel Dye Sticks, 15 Color Set (PTS-15)

I purchased several sets of these to use with a Pioneer Club project with 5th and 6th graders. The colors are vibrant, the instructions are easy to follow and the finished product turned out better than we'd hoped for. I sent an additonal set to my daughter to use with my 5 and 2 and a half year old grandsons. They were also very pleased with the results. These work very well to do customized pillow cases, t-shirts and table cloths; and would also be handy for jazzing up faded clothes and hand-me-downs.

My niece loves this, especially likes the small palette that holds paint and has room to mix paint to make new colors. The brushes are very durable, and each is a different size. The paint washes right off surfaces and skin. As for clothes, the paint washes off in the laundry. She loves it. It's lots of fun.

Having read some of the other reviews I have to say: if your kid wants to paint at home everyday, this set might not be right for you given the smaller amount of paint. That should be obvious, though, as the bottles are not very big.

I was very impressed with this set, especially for the price paid. My daughter is an occasional painter, and mixing the colors with her is a great experiment in color theory...there are many different brushes, and the bag is convenient for taking it places. If they included a little bottle for water, maybe a little cup and some paper it would be the ultimate traveling paint set for 4-7 year-olds.

It all comes down to: after buying this and seeing what it's like, would I buy it again? Definitely yes.

The brushes are good and can be kept for the future. But the paint goes quickly. You would do well to order some paint with the set. My grandaughter loved it and quickly whipped up several paintings to adorn my walls.

The photo shows big brushes, well the ones in this pack is very thin and tiny. Too small for a toddler/five year-old. The white dish is smaller than the palm of my hand. Was this kit made for Santa's elves? Because no one can use this. You'd think for such a high price it would be bigger and better quality. Well, it isn't either.

I bought this set for my grandson for his third birthday. I also bought more easel paper and additional paints. I like the variety of the brushes. Paint is really very cheap and a great way for children to express their creativity. He loved the set and generated beautiful pictures that day. I like the storage/travel bag. Fun for visiting with friends who also have easels to be able to bring your own brushes and paint. This was much better than some "fad" toy that will sit in the closet. I am very happy with the purchase. Bringing extra paints is an inexpensive way to bring "a little something" when grandma comes to visit.

Luminaire Acrylic Air Dry Reborn Doll Paint Basic Set 9 Colors Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I bought this product a while back, and it continues to amaze me at how superior the quality and results are regarding reborning and other crafts. It takes very little, and you use water to thin and clean up! Luminaire allowed me to continue making my dolls after my doctor told me the "Odorless Thinner" I was using with the heat set paints was causing me horrible allergies and migraine headaches,and I would have to give it up to avoid being sick all the time . Luckily, I heard through the grapevine that this product was out there, so I searched on Google, found it right away, and have been using it since. I use this paint very sparingly, with even better results than the other. No funky burned smells, no risk of ruining your doll in a hot oven, no headaches, and best of all, you will get more natural, realistic results. I've painted several dolls with this kit, replacing only a couple of colors that I use quite a bit. The fashion doll kit is perfect for the vintage dolls and the flesh colors are amazing.

I won't use anything else now, and my only regret is not finding it first.....before spending so much on those heat set paints. I do love my Luminaire paints!! Several of my reborning buddies use nothing else but Luminaire tii, and love the way their dolls are turning out! BEAUTIFUL!!! These paints are the best I have ever used!! I highly recommend these for realistic reborning or restoring vintage dolls as well.

I'm new to the hobby of reborn dolls and was somewhat hesitant about getting started, but I found these paints to be easy to use, odor free and was happy with my completed projects.

I started with Bloomers & Bows Air Dry Paints,I LOVED THEM, and when they were no longer available, I bought Luminaire air dry paints. I have been using them for years. (I think I am one of the first to buy them)I like them a lot,Bloomers & Bows were better, but I have found them to be easier to use then a lot of other air dry paints.I guess I just needed to get use to them.

To make sure paints stick to my kits I wash the kits well with soapy water and rinse well,if the kit is a very smooth kit, or if it looks like it may have oils on it, I will wipe it down with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils that may keep the paints from sticking.( I also do this if I am painting with Genesis heat set paints) and I always ware gloves when painting or handling kit/ pieces as the oils from my hands can case the paint to not stick.

I do have to use many many thin layers of flesh color or I'll have a chalky looking baby, and I do add a little white to the light flesh to get a lighter looking baby. But with the berry color and other colors I found I need to use more,so I guess it's just what you find works better for you. I do like these paints. I do not use water to thin with, I use the Luminaire paint thinner,I personally found it to to work better with the paints.

After I am finished painting,and after I let it dry for 48 hours,I add Luminaire shine reduction sealer. I use 2 sponge wedges,1 to dab a very little layer of the Luminair shine reduction sealer,and the other to dab till it is dry. After this drys for 24 hrs, I root my baby head. Then after I put baby all together I dab another light Layer of the shine reduction all over baby's face,legs,arms,feet,and hands. I let baby dry for another 24 hrs. then I diaper and cloth my babies.Hope this helps someone who may want to try air dry paints.

I opted to use air dry paints for Reborning instead of the Genesis Heat Paints. These work GREAT!! There are no fumes and are very easy to clean up. Best of all, I don't have to use my oven. I'm very satisfied with the doll I created.

You have to use a lot of layers when applying flesh tones, but if you don't mind painting and enjoy making Reborn Dolls...you won't mind. Best of all, it dries very fast. I felt this was a good advantage. I will always purchase these paints!

Best Nature Silk Satin Scarf Kit with COLORHUE Instant-Set Silk Dyes Deals

Customer Ratings:

I am so excited and can't wait to order one. This kit is exactly what I've been hoping for – a low cost silk scarf kit with more COLORHUE colors to complement the one I got for Christmas. And you included the dye colors I most want. I've been craving Pumpkin since I took a silk scarf class with Valerie Vavrik and learned that was her favorite COLORHUE dye to use for overdyeing (and saw how beautifully it blended the scarves we did in class). The twig pattern scarf is a perfect match for us nature lovers. And what can I say, Turquoise happens to be one of my favorite colors (and impossible to get blending the original 4 colors I understand). Can't wait to mix Turquoise with my Electric Blue and see all the fun shades of blue I can make. I'm envisioning a scarf featuring different varying shades of blue.
