Product as described. Nice variety of colors, there were more colors than anticipated. Some colors were quite small containers but my projects are small so that is okay. They cover nicely on glass. I haven't cured them in the oven but did spray them with an acrylic sealer for outdoor use.

All of the Gelly Roll pens I have purchase are great quality! You can go to the Sakura web-site as the opacity and papers they work well with are different for the different types of gelly roll pens, souffle, moonlight, stardust, metallic,ect...If you are a scrapbooker the souffle and glaze pens have some texture when dry and do well on acrylic.

Gelly Roll makes the best milky gel pens. The pen is air tight and keeps the ink fluid so the ink rolls off of the ball with no false starts.

Consider my rating 4 1/2 stars. I have been trying to find multicolor gel pens for use on black paper for some time now. In my experience with others, the flow was very inconsistent and the color was more like a watercolor or virtually did not show up at all. Occasionally I would get some where some of the colors showed up but others would not.

These work! All the lighter colors show up brilliantly on black paper and a couple of the darker colors show up less on black paper, which is to be expected. I have not tried them in UV light yet but with the great way they show up in regular light, I'm not concerned about how well they work in UV light. You can produce some really nice art with these on black paper.

Almost perfect, with only the occasional flow problem, but better than any I have found. Others that may not like these probably don't have experience with other pens and don't know that this really is as good as it gets with gel pens for use on black paper. Highly recommended!

Honest reviews on Sakura 38176 10-Piece Gelly Roll Assorted Colors Blister Card

I am a commercial artist who uses pastel gel pens a lot. This product, Sakura 38176 10-piece Gelly Roll Assorted Colors, is a popular example. The downside of pastel gel pens is that they quit working after a rather short period of time. Well, I am excited to report that here is an answer to this problem!

Here's how: (1) Heat some water to simmer in a large diameter frying pan (fill about 1/4 the pan). (2) Place your dry pens in a cake pan, and float the cake pan in the simmering water. (3) If you have one, put a lid over the frying pan. No lid? Not a problem. (4) Let pens warm up for around 10-15 minutes, then take them out of the frying pan. (5) Choose a pen to experiment and make some scribble circles on paper. You should be rewarded with a flow of pastel ink! That's it. Good luck to you.

I LOVE Sakura's gelly pens. I've been using them since the 'fad' of dark paper got started. By the way, where did all that dark paper go? I wish I'd bought up all the black notebook paper I could get my hands on! Ahem, back to the subject. These Moonlight gelly pens by Sakura are very freeflowing, have a medium point, and as advertised on the package 'act like paint pens on most surfaces'. Five of the ten colors are 'regular' pens, with intense, vivid ink in different shades including a wonderful blue and a teal green that's very hard to find. The other five colors are what I'd call 'neon' but they aren't described that way. The package lists these five colors as 'glow under black light'. I haven't got access to blacklight type lights, so I can't comment on how the pens perform when exposed to it. However, these 'neon' shades are just as vivid and intense as the others, and offer a nice, lighter color contrast to the first five pens. I have used these to detail some celtic-type designs on the title page of a book I own, and have used them in various coloring-type books, as well as writing with them. Unless you are scrapbooking, it would be a waste to just write with this set of pens. They work so wonderfully as 'paint pens' I'm saving them for exactly that. The flow is excellent, easy control, quick drying (don't smudge for at least 30 seconds to be safe-when all 'wet' looking areas are gone, the ink is dry, waterproof, etc.) The ink in these pens creates a slightly 'raised' feel (very subtle, though) when the ink is dry-on paper. I haven't tried them on other surfaces, though several are listed on the package as suggestions. I have a feeling I'll be ordering these again in the near future. I love the metallic, sparkle and other effects. I'm on the lookout for some 'swirl' type 'milky' gel pens (as hard to find as black paper!), but these moonlight pens are an excellent addition to my pen collection! I've ordered from this seller several times in the last 2 years and have been impressed with the professionalism, speed of delivery, quality of product and packaging every time! Go ahead and try these pens, you won't be disappointed.

Petal point option is a great way to enjoy a good selection of colors at a reasonable price. The colors are very nice; they are all in the same key, so to speak. And each pad is a good size. Also, extremely convenient to use, since you can color a big section as well as tiny surfaces using the point. There are a few videos on youtube showing how to use these. I am definitely going to buy other petal point selections.

These petal point ink pads are an affordable way to get several colors of ink. All ink colors in each set coordinate nicely with one another. I especially find that the fluid chalk inks give excellent coverage for clear stamps, even those with lots of solid area. Gives a nice clear impression every time. Despite their small size these inks last a long time. The shape also allows for detailed multi-colored inking of stamps. An over-all great product!

Colors are vibrant. I would have preferred larger stamping area, but you can take each "petal" out and ink stamp that way.

Honest reviews on ColorBox Fluid Chalk Petal Point Option Pads

Chalk ink is just absolutely fantastic the coverage is great, the colors are beautiful and the petals are super convenient. It looks small, but each petal holds a lot of ink and it makes it easier to manage them when inking background or trying techniques that involve the pads. The colors are bright and the ink does not take forever to dry. Love it!

I needed to more easily make footprints of our kids feet, and while pads work, it can be a little hard dealing with 4 squirming youngsters. I was able to easily apply it, just be careful of the arch, leave that bare. Turned out perfect and can't wait to give the finished piece to my husband.

No issues with being over full, dry or anything broken. Came exactly as I expected it to.

I searched high and low for this large set of 48 colors. The tube size is generous and the colors are true quality! Delivery was quick! (3 days!) The only problem I had was when puncturing the seal for the first time on the tubes the paint tended to spurt out as if under pressure. This may, however, be due to the fact that I live at high altitude (6000 ft.) This tip may help for those of you who have the same problem: Use a safety pin to puncture the seal instead of the point on the lid. Leave the safety pin in for a few seconds to allow the pressure to release slowly. When you remove the pin you shouldn't lose any paint.

Honest reviews on Liquitex BASICS Acrylic Paint Tube 48-Piece Set

I have painting in my blood...which kinduv makes it hard to donate...but my mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother were all very accomplished painters. I, on the other hand, tend to dabble and because I see myself as more or less a dabbler, I really don't find it necessary to go all out on products.

These paints fit the bill very nicely for what I like to do. They go on rather smoothly and they don't tend to glob up like some paints do. They also tend to wash out of clothing very easily as my wife can attest. I happened to sit on a tube of brown paint....yeah, tell me about it...it was a bummer, especially when I was wearing white shorts at the time...

But when I'm not going for the skidmark look, I like to use these paints on canvas as well as on heavy cardboard. Like I said, I just dabble but it's better the dabble you know than the dabble you don't...

Besides, would I lie to you? I've done 300+ reviews on this here website and I'm not about to start. I have a reputation. It might not be very good, but I have one.

I think I would even recommend these paints to someone who is accomplished. I like the way they mix. By the way, did you know that when you mix blue and red you get purple? I know that because there is now a big purple stain on one of my good shirts.

My wife is going to kill me...

Peace and Blessings,

john (the former) 'Light Coach'

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.

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

Have a lot of punches ... Do a lot of card making ...this set looks great but hard to line up punches.

This handy hole punch makes it possible to design your own Spiral bound notebooks! Binding machines can cost from $75 to over $300, but this punch used with the American Crafts Knock Outs Border Punch System Starter Kitis just as effective for much less money. It does take a little more time, patience, and manpower however.

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!

I recently discovered my love of watercolor pencils. Draw and sketch as if it is a pencilthen add some water on a brush and add a watercolor effect.

36 colors for the price I paid are definitely a good dealthese are Staedtler, after all. You don't get a metal tin, or the other more secure Staedtler products boxmeaning you have to shuffle around to see all the colorsthat is where packaging does matter. They easily slip out of the card box box and you risk breaking them.

The color selection is great. These are however NOT very softnor very water soluble. When compared with other Stadtler watercolor pencils, or even compared with the Prismacolor watercolor pencils that I use in comparisonit takes a lot of brushing and water to get the watercolor effectcompared to other products. But that's also a pluswith the Prismacolors watercolor you draw half a face and half the pencil is gonethese are not so soft, meaning they last longer.

For the price they are great, great color selectionjust wished the watercolor effect was a bit more intense.
