These letters are super small and hard to work with. I thought they would be bigger.

I love these the only complaint I have about these letters is that I wish they were a little bigger. Trying to get them to stick on paper is almost impossible. I have used sticker sheets hoping it would be easier but it's hard to peel the backing of once they are cut.

Love this letter set. The alphabet is just the right size for scrapbooking titles. The letters are not too fancy and not to plain.

I love this alphabet, it gives you two kinds of letters with circle and without, it's like having two sets! The flowers and tags dies are really useful for dates in my scrapbook pages, the big ones are like 1 in and the small ones like 1/2 in. The actual letter is like 1/2 in, a good size for scrapbooking.

It is a little hard to paste the letters to my pages since they are so thin, I ended up cutting small strips of double sided tape since glue was too messy, if anyone has a better idea or product let me know. I guess I could apply the tape to the paper before cutting but that would shorten the life of my dies, and I wouldn't want that.

Customer Ratings: 4 stars

While I like Fantastix, they're still not the perfect applicator tool. They tend to inch their way out of their wrappers as you work with them, which makes them floppy and hard to control. They're also not sharpenable; that's a drawback too. That said, they seem to move color around more smoothly than a paper stump.

These came highly recommended to me. I also bought the colored ink. I am planning to use it on a Mrs. Clause quilt to give my facial expressions and other features of the quilt a more real look. Cannot wait to start using them. They look like they will work perfectly!

I'm getting a nice collection of Da Vinci brushes now and they've all been great. I have a fairly good assortment of series 36 rounds and the 1310's I have complement the others quite well.

I've seen no shedding at all and it's kept it shape very nicely and holds a ton of paint.

It did take quite a while to remove all of the gunk they use to protect the hairs while they're in transport, but once it was totally gone, the brush has been a dream. to use.

I love to crochet, and I have always just used whatever hooks are lying around. I live in Costa Rica, so fancy hooks and yarn are not available. I ordered these and I must say that they are more than just a cut above. Very comfortable to use and the caps fit snugly when not in use. Very smooth and well defined, they form precise and pretty stitches. They were pricey, but they were definitely a good investment. I am very happy with this purchase.

I was disappointed by a specific review, because these paints are fine. I'm an art student at Tyler School of Art and I work with gouache often. These are very standard and worth what you pay. They can last for a long time, and none of mine were dried out upon delivery.

Anyone with a problem may not be using them correctly.....

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I was not expecting top-of-the-line product, as the cost was so low. But I may as well have burned my cash. Don't buy this just to try out gouache because it's not representative of what is actually a very fun and rewarding medium. (Likewise, never experiment with cheap watercolor paper. You will not get a true idea of what it can do for you.)

Very little pigment and lots of binding agent give you feeble color. A quality paint will be easily reconstituted once dry, just by adding water and allowing it to sit for a few minutes. This would not do that, so you'd have to use only fresh paint, which some artists prefer, but even fresh, the pigment is weak.

Best Deals for Art Advantage 12-Mililiter Tube Gouache Paint Set, 18 Color

The color is good on the tubes but the pain is very thin its mostly the medium, and when you open the tubes lots of it comes out in a big squirt. Also the tubes tended to continue leaking this viscous liquid no matter how tight you got the caps on, I may have to transfer all the paint out before the tubes can dry up on me making it harder to get it out

Bamboo needles are wonderful, but they simply aren't sturdy enough for sock sizes. These metal needles are in sizes that can be hard to find, and the metal ensures they will last without breaking like small-size bamboo needles are wont to do. However, I've deducted one star because while the needles are colored differently for the different sizes, the color differences aren't pronounced enough to see them easily (at least not when you reach my age, lol), and there's no legend to let you know which colors are which sizes.

I have two sizing gauges, and neither one goes below 0, so I ended up using a micrometer (and honestly, how many people actually have one of these???) to measure the two smallest sizes (00 and 000). I have them labeled now, but I really hope I don't lose the labels. I paid a premium to get metal needles (usually, it's the other way around), and have to wonder if it would really be so hard to label the needles themselves, the same way bamboo needles are all labeled. Even if I had to use a magnifying glass to read the print, it would still be faster and easier than getting out the micrometer, reading the small print on that, and then converting that result to millimeters, all so I can convert that result to English needle sizes. I mean... really!

I am really rough on my bamboo needles and I started seeking out metal ones instead.

These fit the bill perfectly. And they are ALMOST perfect. The only thing stopping them from getting a 5 star rating is the fact that you have no idea what size the needles are without measuring. I expected a number to be stamped on them. When I didn't find that I turned to the box they came in and no indication of size there either. They appear to be color coded, so it seemed like one of those two options would have been obvious for the company to do.

I bought these to do some fine knitting for dolls, and although I've only had them a few weeks, they're great! They're color coded so I know which size is which, and the points haven't been snaggy, the yarn slides smoothly along the needles.

A great price for some hard to find needles!

These are really wonderful pens. I've had no trouble with any of them. They write smoothly and evenly.

In my pack I have (not exact colors, they don't come with color names)

12 metallic (Grey, Black, Silver, Gold, Bronze, Copper Red, Turquoise, Blue, Dark Blue, Green, Reddish Purple, Dark Purple)

12 regular (Red, Orange, Peach, Yellow, Lime, Dark Green, Light Blue, Purple, Bubble Gumish pink, Orangeish Pink, White, Black)

12 Glitter (Pink, Reddish Orange, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Dark Blue, Purple, Silver, Gold, Bronze, Glitter Black)

6 Mixed Colors (Yellow/Blue/Pink, Purple/Green/Blue, Pink/Blue/Purple, Blue/Green/Orange, Green/Pink/Blue, Orange/Blue/Purple)

6 Fluorescent (Yellow, Blue, Green, Orange, Pink, Purple)

The only pen that really shows up well on black is the silver glitter. The white shows up but not quite as well. They all look great on lighter colored paper.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

The pens work fine for the first few days. Then the ink starts separating into chunks in the barrel. I think being moved around or warm makes this worse, but just putting a pen into a pen case and carrying it shouldn't cause the ink to separate out like this. There are also huge differences in how well they right swirls are the worst, glitter pens right very well.

That said, this was $12 for a box of 48, so at that price I'm expecting them to be super-cheap semi-functional pens. The ink does look nice, and honestly the pens run out of ink so fast that usually the pen is nearly dry before the ink separation becomes a real problem.

Overall, I probably won't buy these again because I want something that last longer and is more reliable, and they're certainly not good to carry with you or write a lot with. But for the price they're OK.

Discount Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit

Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit
Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars
Buy Now
Let me start by saying that this is a nice little kit and comes with 3 different sizes of stamping blocks that have the grids to help you get your stamps straight. It comes with three sheets of stamping material, a special stamp material mat, a silhouette ink pad in black, a download card for some exclusive stamping designs, and a DVD tutorial that leaves a little to be desired. When I ordered this I thought for some reason, that it would produce a carved stamp instead of just a cut out letter or shape, but it doesn't. So, if you cut out the word "stamp" and you don't weld it to make the letters connect, then you will have to line up each individual letter one by one and make sure you get them completely straight on your stamping block. This can be really tedious if you have small or a lot of letters. My cameo cut the stamping material the first time with no issues at all by simply following the tutorial, changing the mat to the one in the kit, and changing the blade setting to the recommended number. My letters were perfect and the ink included worked perfectly on card stock. I tried to use Staz On brand ink and it beaded up and wouldn't produce a clean image. I tried several times and it just would not work. The ink was brand new, so I'm thinking that the stamping material just won't soak it up properly. So, please keep that in mind when using this material. Overall, this is a great product. Just keep in mind that the machine is not carving the stamp out. You will have to position your stamp on the block every time you want to use it. Also remember to flip your words to be backward when the bottom of your stamp is facing you and to where it looks correct when you flip it over like you are going to stamp with it. Both sides of the material are the same, so you can use whichever side you want. There's no need to flip your word in the program. I'm posting some pics to show my results. I hope this helps.

This product is amazing! No, it does not carve the stamp material, but just knowing your machine, you should know that anyway. My stamp was pretty intricate and I planned to heat emboss it with Versa ink and Zing powder. Better than expected! Definitely recommend to experienced crafters.

It's a very interesting kit, although I haven't tested it yet. The possibility of creating your own stamps is awesome! I just think that should come with more material to work with.

Honest reviews on Silhouette Stamping Starter Kit

Worked great once I figured out that it was user error so I wasted a sheet of the stamping material. Luckily I have some extra PC stamping material which looks to be the same thickness. A word of advice, be sure to remove the white paper from the cutting mat and make sure you have the mat facing the correct way and you'll avoid the same mistake I made!
