I was taken by the stunning array of colors - I use glitter a lot so it was a good way to improve my colors and it has been great.
A very good way to improve the colors you keep.

I have not yet used any of this but I want to have it on hand when I need it instead of running out to get it when you need it - not all Craft Stores carry it so that makes it more important to have it on hand.

A very affective die - I cut some in dark grey and added glue and shimmer it was very effective.
Like all of these dies they are a pleasure to use and clean out.

Another Die for Halloween - looks great on a dark card - cut it in dark grey and wrote in a white pen on some of the grave stones. Dates and that kind of thing.
Again a good purchase and great to use - I like to prepare things in advance so that when I have some Grey or Brownish paper I cut out several for future use and "file" them away for future use.

Another die to make Halloween Card making easier I had a lot of fun with this and have started my collection for next year.
I cut this die out in a medium grey which was very effective on black background
or the other way round if you prefer.
Very easy to use.

When my delivery arrived I had some friends here so when I opened the box they dived on the punch - We spent quite a while punching out pumpkins in all colors.
It is convenient to use and comfortable in your hand - It likes paper but thick card is hard going. I don't use good card stock to cut up for embellishments
so that is not a problem - I think it would go through it but why try?
This punch has made a world of difference to making Halloween cards.

I purchased this because my old one has worn out - They have made a lot of changes to improve this cutter and I find it a pleasure to use.

Ideal for Christmas Cards, works very well with cutting dies, sticks well to any card even glossy card stock.
After using this product I can't go back to ordinary glitter sheets and putting
glue all over them (getting it everywhere).

Very good product works well with cutting dies and has the convenience of the
adhesive back. Cut/Peel/Fix that is all you have to do.

A great product, convenient to use and ideal to use with cutting dies - peel off the backing paper and stick it straight onto the card I am making. No fuss, very
easy to use and beautiful. I used a cloud die to cut out a pond and fit it in the
farm scene on the card.

This is marvelous to use I sign my name in a card I have made, sprinkle it with sparkle and I have an unusual card.
I find it very comfortable to use, easy to hold and comfortable to write with.
,

I only gave 3 stars not because it is not a good product because it is but they have made it a "Throw-a-Way". I have several of the Xyron size sticker makers
and I can see a market for a 1 inch version. It is very easy to waste a lot of the
tape but when you learn to use it carefully it can be the greatest thing invented.

I have found these to be very handy, particularly the small ones - You can see at a glance what you have in each one so there is no pulling lids of only to find the wrong thing.
They are very convenient to use - look very neat on a shelf (gives the impression my shelves are neat when they are not) I have not yet seen the full range of sizes but I know they have many.

Great for card making - They go a long way - the color variations are great as you can layer them or use them singly. Easy to use.

Just ideal for this time of the year - I will be ordering more but 1 pkt. goes a long way. I make cards so they fit in well with my hobbie

I was very taken with the picture of these so I bought a packet - they are great
I have included them on 5 Christmas cards - I had little else to do once I put
a Santa Snowman on the front and some glitter snow they were complete.

When I bought the first set I was a bit apprehensive that I could use it to it's capacity - It looks easy when Tim demonstrates it!
Well I was comfortable with it right from the start and have used it quite a lot - When I saw Tim had produced a 2nd. set I couldn't wait to get it - when I opened the box they were near the top and when I got them out I got out me Big Shot machine and started using them - I didn't get back to unloading the box until 1 hour later.

I admit I wanted the case for a little girl but when I opened it up I was amazed - all the products were good - nothing really not usable - it gave me a couple of products I had not tried before and they were good. I was tempted to buy another but that's being greedy.

When I emptied it out and offered it to the little girl she didn't want it.

I have been using these refills for the past few years and can't find a better one.
I prefer the repositionable type because it gives me time to make sure that I have the item in just the right spot - this means that I don't have to try to pull it off and damage the
area I am working on.

No matter what we make we can't get by with out one of these tools. This particular one has a very good shape to it and is easy to hold.

Great again to use as clouds but also as a place to write messages.

These are so handy - yes as Clouds but also as a place to write a comment on.

I bought a set for me and one for my Girlfriend and we have been having a great time making up things to stamp.
These Stamps Rock

I have been using these for some time and find them good strong discs

I have been using these pens for some time and would not be without them - when a corner has lifted they are ideal.

This is just the right size for card making and is so much easier than stamping and colouring.

When I first opened the packet I thought they were useless - so thin - but now that I have used them I know I was wrong - They
are excellent - there is such a wide range of sizes that I never have an overhang from the stamp - They are not heavy (Which I thought I needed) so I don't drop them back on my work.

I saw this effect on a card over a year ago - I have looked everywhere trying to buy it - I have even shopped here at Scrapbook.com with out luck - then it was here - I couldn't order it soon enough and now use it all the time.

I have started on my Christmas cards and this Bell shape is ideal to add to wreath style embellishments - particularly cut in silver paper and then flocked with silver or gold.

This is ideal after you have a lot of pens and refill ink - I suggest
getting 2 copies - one for the Markers and one for the inks.

I thought I had kept track of my colours and found that I was way out - so now I have brought my collection up to date.

The most comfortable die pick I have - I don't have the machine
but I have the manual version and the pick is ideal for that swirly die which always sticks.

This is a great starter - you get the handle and the straight stitch
head - unless you wish to have other stitches you need buy no more.

It is very comfortable to use although you need a little practice.

This system is brilliant - I had to practice a bit to get it right but now I can just do it free-hand - It is very easy to change heads so you can use several stitches on one card.


I have one concern and that is how to re-ink?
A new ink pad?
Refill ink?

I always thought black was black - but no - pitch black is a special pen to use to highlight something in black - if you are coloring a Santa if you do his boots with black they look OK - but - Do them with Pitch Black makes them look like Paton leather.

I have both the Blue and Pink runners and find that they are very good - the bulk pack is no cheaper than buying the single but it does help with "Running Out" - I find now I buy both packs at the same time and always have some left when I need it

The Tombow Stamp Runner - Refill pack
I have both the Pink and the blue runners and both are excellent -
to buy the six pack is no cheaper than buying the single pack but
it is much more convenient I never run out now.

I am very pleased with these - the tray is very useful on it's own,
the various size jars are decorative as well as practical and can be used time and again.
The flowers are beautiful three sizes of petals cream with mulberry
fleck and can mix with so many other colours

This is the best adhesive runner I have tried so far - both this one and the pink dots are good to use.

These make re-inking so much easier - no ink on fingers easy
to control.

Excellent product.

I find the Copic system excellent - the pens are very good to use but the ease of re-filling the pens is what I like best - I use the
needles and find that I don't have any spills.
No fingers covered in ink stains - excellent.

This item is excellent, it is easy to use and is easily re-filled - It lasts a fair while but I did buy a couple of refills when I bought
the main runner - I always buy re-fills to have spares.

All of the colours in the refills are great - easy to refill your
Ciao pens - easy to clean when you spill ink - use the blender ink

I use the screw on needle to transfer the ink into the pen.

This is a very good size as you can do most stamps on this,

I have one of each of the sizes and don't find them crossing over

the sizes - I like the grid pattern on the stamp pad so that I can change the the set out of the stamp particularly if I am doing corners.

Doodle Winter from the Christmas Collection is a very good stamp
as I am doing my Christmas cards now

I like to have extra stamp blocks in various sizes - this pack

fills the bill - Not as convenient as the Apple Pie Blocks but excellent as spares.

Very easy to hold - easy to center - Finger grips make it perfect to use,

Great to use - the finger grip makes it easy to hold on too.
Very comfortable ans easily centered.

When my order arrived the box was cracked in three places - but - I live in Australia so it had a long journey. I think it should be made of thicker plastic - The idea is good but the quality did not live up to the normal Copic standards.

Single horse and carriage looks good on a scrapbook page

Addition to my edge punches - looks very nice even on
cards

When it said 91 piece beginners kit I expected to have several
embossing plated out of the 91 pieces -- NO -- 3 only - I normal
size - 1 half that size and 1 about 1/4 size.

All the balance was paper and card

Another good addition to colour range

A great addition to my colour range.

I have been very pleased with the cards - a good selection of
colours and a good size

I found some very good ideas for storage - some quite practical
others far too expensive - it did give some cheaper ways to
make storage available.

Much better to use these instead of normal tweezers.

Excellent -can be used for cleaning any spills when filling pens
as well as filling keeping your blender pen full. I like to keep
my pens clean and this is the ideal solution to use. Having the
8 ounce bottle makes it very convenient

A clear stamp showing a complete drum kit,
I have started to use this on a card for my grandson.

He loves music and I hope these will be the only drums he gets

These have given me a wider range of edges for my cards
I only got black & white so I will look for some basic colours.

I have seen it used and it was fabulous but I have not got the
colour mix correct yet - just need to practice

A very handy size flower for cards and lends it's self to
embelishment

I have used the borders and the rose for a card which I
am very pleased with.

I use Raven a lot and to have a bulk supply is so convenient

I keep a bulk pack of a couple of colours for the same reason.

I have not yet used then on a card but have been playing around to see what it is like to use.

They are very easy to use, and improve my border looks (straight when I want them straight)

I find that the wallet is very handy - if I am out and about then all my Copic's are in one place - I name all mine - I can carry it with my tote -- At home it is still a good storage place for the pens as I have a place to slide it into where it is ready to use.

If you load them in colour range then you can find them quickly

I use the zipper pocket at the back to hold my Spica Pens and blender pen.

This is just a spare pair because they are hard to find in
Australia as every one has gone onto the bigger machines
I also have the bigger machine but love my little sidekick
with my small dies

Margot Petersen

I have had several die's for this but not the base plate - I have
had so much fun with my Christmas Cards making the 4 panel
window with Santa peeping etc.

Excellent product because you can use with several dies

Margot Petersen

An excellent template - has made it much easier to spark up
my "stitching" it looks so much more even because I was trying
to do it by hand and eye sight - didn't work too well

As with the narrow tape I was very pleased with the quality before trying American Crafts brand I had not known that there were quality tapes.

Margot Petersen

An excellent quality of tape which surprised me at first because
the price was so good - but I as very pleased with the tape and the time it lasted.

Margot Petersen

I am very pleased with the Glue Glider Pro "gun" it makes a day where you have lots of scrap booking to do so much easier, because I have arthritis in my hands the handle is perfect for me.

The ease of changing the refill adds to the pleasure.

When I bought my Sizzix Sidekick machine I didn't think I needed the bag to carry it around, I was wrong and thankfully I was able to purchase them together.

The bag means that all cutting pads and some small dies can be kept in the bag all the time so I don't need to go looking for things

I had a couple of teething problems with the machine which were due to my lack of knowledge on how to use it.

Now I find that I have an excellent "small" machine that I can pull out at any time to use my small dies, rather than the bigger heavier machine as I am disabled.

It is great to use.
