It was much smaller than I expected. Ooops.

I was disappointed to learn that this die did not cut on the straight lines. It cuts the scallop but only stitches along the outer edges. I should have read it better.

The frames are very narrow and the “wood grooves” cut through too deeply.

This is a nice heavy duty mat but the size of it should be in the description. I counted the squares on it and figures it was 12 x 26. But the squares are 1/2 inch so it is only 6 x 13. I was rather dissapointed in that.

These bows are beautiful but they are much larger than I expected. I don't know if I will use them on scrapbook pages.

I was disappointed that these are all connected with those metal pegs.

The banners are small but fine for my cards and scrapbook pages. I keep the letters it punches out and use them as well as the negative space. I love it they now have numbers and symbols -- I hope now they will come up with some simple shapes -- hearts, stars, bows, dogs, cats, balloons, lips, eyes to name a few ideas.

This is a nice little bow for accents to cards and pages. Being small makes it a bit hard for my old hands.

These are very, very small. They make a nice work design but hard to identify each letter. I put them on a magnetic sheet in order so I can tell which is which and make it easy to locate the ones I need.

These were much smaller than I expected. They make a nice letter though. I cut them apart and put them on a magnetic sheet for ease in locating the ones I want.

The papers are very pretty. They have a slick surface which you cannot write on and must use a bit more adhesive. But the design is lovely.

I love the variety of sizes you can make.

I love these punch products.

I made the suggested wreath with this and it turned out great. I love this circle edge punch line of punches.

This punch set made a lovely frame, however a 6x8 frame did not allow a 4x6 photo to fit inside unless cropped a bit. It was fun to also use the little flowers it punched out in other places on my page.

I use 8.5 x 11 magnetic sheets to put my alpha die sets on then insert them in these plastic envelopes so I don’t lose any. So handy.

It is for little bottles but I didn’t need it for that. I have small punches in it.

The cart is sturdy and roomy. My only disappointment is that the shelves are not over 12" wide as my plan was to put 12x12 scrapbook paper in them while working so I didn't have to go search over and over and I didn't have to keep them on my work table.

This adhesive sticks well and is so handy for ribbon, other strips of embellishments.

I was surprised that the dies actually make cuts in the mat. I assumed self healing meant no cuts would show. But it runs through the machine so nicely. I have been using a couple pieces of cardstock as a shim and things cut very well.

It was a bit smaller than I expected but it keeps my journal spots and ephemera handy at my workspace.

Makes a very pretty snowflake. I love the wreath but it does takes some intricate detailed work.

makes a lovely frame for square photos

This is a lovely new look. I love 3 ring binders for my photos.

I did not realize how heavy this cardstock would be. It will be great for making cards. It is too heavy for my punches,

Makes a pretty embellishment.

I found this handy as I made a pen edging on my scrapbook page. I also look forward to using it for coloring.

This paper is sturdy and was so attractive I used it the very next day for scrapbooking.

I enjoy this punch board for a nice title or label on my scrapbook pages. The numbers really help so I can put the date on the page and it matches.

This bow is very small but makes a cute addition. The punch itself is very well made and easy to use.

Nice size work group for a card.

I love how these write on a variety of surfaces without smearing.

These are so cute. I had a page of a frogger ride at a small amusement park and these fit perfectly.

I have always loved using the zig writer. Great for journaling.

the die is a nice size for a card but also large enough for a scrapbook page title

This paper is lovely and a nice heavy weight. The foil shines.

These cute stickers enhanced my pages about a recent historic train ride we took for charity.

We recently took a charity ride on a historic train. This paper was perfect to use for my pictures.

I recently spent a weekend at Graceland in Memphis TN and thought my Elvis pictures would be cool in a black velvet album. This black faux suede fits the bill just fine.

These are a nice weight - and very clear. The binding is strong.

What a wonderful, helpful tool. I have lots of stamps but often do not get a full solid image when I stamp. I am no good at re-stamping when I make a mistake. I love being able to re-ink and then re-stamping without any problem. I am really hoping this will inspire me to use my many stamps more. Thanks.

I like being able to have the matts so handy

I haven't really used this yet but I love how it looks!

The magnet is so nice and strong to hold metal dies so that you can cut with more than one at a time!! I love it.

This machine is very easy to use. I love the special mat that came with this kit. I have had lots of fun trying every type of die cut and embossing plate I have!!

this is such a trend. Product is so easy to use and fun to put with my other punches etc.

this makes a lovely decorative edge very easily

this product is easy to use and makes lovely edged circles in a variety of sizes

this makes a lovely circle and I love it that it makes so many sizes

this makes a lovely punched circle in several sizes and is easy to use.

The strip die works wonderful in my cuttlebug with the extended plates I purchased earlier. The die cuts are super easy to assemble and look great.

This punch makes a beautiful edge and just like all of Martha Stewart's punches it is easy to use.
