Cheap Magnetic Poetry Make Your Own Pet Stones Kit
Love being able to personalize stones. Like the smaller pieces you can add to a larger stone. Would have been nice to accelerate in paw prints. I think that would have been a nice touch

I had never tried Mt Vision pastels before I tried these: they are a superior soft pastel. Not as firm as Rembrandts nor as crumbly as Terry Ludwigs or Senneliers. Colors range from subtle to intense. A++!My pastels are wonderful. Maybe you should not carry something as fragile as pastels as you surely do not package them so the buyers will get them whole. I will be careful of what I purchase through amazon now.

Die Cuts With A View 4-1/2-Inch by 6-1/2-Inch Premium Mat Stack Reviews
I absolutely love the colors in this ! If you love peacocks this is really nicely done. I am a scrapbooker and these added a wonderful touch to the pages.This is pretty however alot of the pages have whole images of peacocks on them, I was hoping for more color inspired pattern pages. But this will still work ok

I love this stamp and punch set. Instead of stamping many different butterflies, I used black ink and just stamped one. Then I scanned it into my computer. I put it in a card making program (Print Shop) using a full page. I copied the image and pasted it along the left edge of the paper, making sure they were all in line. Then I grouped the whole line into one image, copied that, reversed it, and put it on the right side of the page. After printing a test sheet to make sure they line up on the front and back of the page, I can then change the color of the butterfly to anything I want -say dark blue -and print it on light blue paper. I then turn the paper over and print on the back side. There! I have a line of butterflies that I can punch out, with color on both sides of the wings! Fold the wings at the body and you have a very nice butterfly. Change the color to purple, print on pink paper, front and back, and you have more butterflies to punch out. Change the color again, more butterflies! I'm having a ball with this!

These are my absolute fav kind of hand paper punches (MS brand). With weak wrists and hands, I can squeeze gently and get crispy punched items to pop right out. Yay! The stamps are an added plus as you can customize your punches, or just use an acrylic block and make unique wreaths etc with the stamps :DBest Deals for Martha Stewart Crafts Stamp And Punch Set, Butterfly
This is an unusual punch. It is actually a punch and a stamp. You can punch flowers and paste on cards or you can stamp them onto paper with different colored stamps. Nice construction.Honest reviews on Martha Stewart Crafts Stamp And Punch Set, Butterfly

This punch won't go through cardstock and you have to push down hard. Wish I could have tried it first. I've read that some of the Martha Stewart punches have this problem. Still, if you're just punching a pile of them to decorate, they are cute.Monday, November 10, 2014

The color choices are great. However, I was unhappy with the consistency of them. There is too much filler in the paints and it required approximately. Five coats on every child's caricature I painted. Unless you are a patient person, I do not recommend these paints.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Binney & Smith Crayola(R) Washable Paint In Multicultural Colors
I used these paints with 2nd graders and was so relieved at how easy it was to clean up afterward. I like the variety of tones in the paints. For a great lesson, use with the book, The Colors of Us. Kids can use these paints as a starter to mix paint that matches their own skin.Sunday, November 2, 2014
Reviews of Folk Art 898 8-Ounce Floating Medium
I bought this stuff to use with my acrylic painting.
I like this floating medium for several reasons...
1) it keeps the paint on your palette from drying so fast and
2) it thins the paint so that the acrylics can be used as more of a glaze like watercolors (acrylics are opaque for the most part).
Sometimes though a mistake can be very very helpful. I unthinkingly used this one day with my underglazes while bisque painting ceramic tiles. (There is a somewhat similar rewetting substance for underglazes) It was not until I was cleaning up for the day that I realized my mistake and by then it was inappropriate to consider undoing the areas that I painted. I decided to go ahead with my firing. I fired my work with this floating medium blended into the underglazes up to cone 04 with no problems at all! The colors were vibrant there was no raising or crazing. Oh and there was another
use for it on bisque-ware too.... with a stiff brush it can help remove any unwanted (unfired) colors.
This stuff is really really useful in so many ways and apparently with many different medias too.

Great set of knitting needles. They are smoother than the usual bamboo needles, which is great for picking up the speed of your knitting. Very nicely organised in the purpose-built wrap case. Only criticism the fabric print of the case is rather old-fashioned and with so many younger knitters taking up the challenge, a fun or cuter fabric would have been just perfect.
Otherwise, very happy with my purchase.

First of all, it needs to be well advertised that the punches don't work without the base. The punch I want ed was not part of the kit and it was only once I received it that I realized that. Then I had to buy a kit with a punch I didn't want in order to get the base because the base is not sold by itself. When I finally got the kit, the guides for the punch I wanted wouldn't fit in the guide slots. The were too big, which made it so the paper couldn't slide through the punch. Luckily, with a razor blade and alot of patience, we were able to cut the guides down so they fit in the guide slots. Now I have a working punch. As I said, I love the idea, improved advertising and manufacturing are needed.
The downsides to this item are that you can only punch up to 4 sheets at a time without the punch jamming. Also, the punch is aligned for the holes to be far enough into the page that you need at least a 15 mm coil to bind any project anything smaller and the pages won't turn properly.
Much like any regular hand-held hole-punch, this can only go through certain surfaces and materials, so it is not meant for large projects or professional projects.
I've turned some old postcards and baseball cards into mini-notebook covers, using old scrap paper that I've cut to size as filler. It's a great way to recycle scrap paper and a fun item to make your own scrapbooks, notebooks, journals or other art projects you can use this to bind them yourself!
For anyone who does like this and does not know where to look for binding coil, I recommend and I also recommend that you order *at least* 14 mm bindings (or wider, depending on how thick you plan on making your books)
Happy Crafting!

Some of the pieces that snap in to make the guide for the punch are printed crooked. So its impossible to line up your paper properly. I have not written to AC to see about getting a replacement piece, but I was definitely disappointed in the poor quality. It basically ruins that whole punch. Aside from that I am pretty happy with this purchase. WIth the cost of border punches, you can't beat the price.Best Deals for American Crafts Knock Outs Border Punch
It's not like you will find any surprises in the designs on these punches, but they do offer some subtle changes to designs in the tried and true scallop arena as well as some other fun border designs. The most appealing aspect of this punch set is the interchangeable parts. It cuts down on the number of large punches you would have to store, because you only need one punch body and then the dies are relatively small. As far as use goes. The punch seems pretty durable, but there could be slightly better alignment in cutting the continuing pattern. Because the dies change, you have to match up to the edge rather than the pattern like on other border punches. This has caused a little bit of overlap, but nothing terrible.Honest reviews on American Crafts Knock Outs Border Punch

Reviews of Set of 4 Clay Modeling Tools
If you're a beginner in clay works then this is a great tool set to buy compared to the more expensive ones. They do the job of rolling out your clay, cutting, shaping, etc. Excellent for those new to clay and once you get more experience with clay then you can move up to a set of the more expensive ones but for a starter this is great. I'd recommend it !
