These are certainly attractive, but have little substance to them. They're flimsy and must be handled carefully when you have paper in them or have to move them. Best if supported from both sides, as on a bookshelf, as they have a tendency to tip sideways. The price is right, but I wish I'd spent more on something more substantial.

Kaisercraft makes such gorgeous papers and this is one of their most beautiful. It's an Australian-themed paper, but certainly adapts to all kinds of uses.

These are very useful and well made, but once I really started sorting out my cardstock and wanting to put it in the trays by color, I found I needed over twice what I thought was necessary.

I love the effect of these Nuvo Glimmer Pastes, which are getting a workout as I dive into make Christmas cards, but they dry a bit too quickly for my taste and even if I toss the stencils directly into water afterward, I still wind up scraping remnants of the paste off them afterward. A little drying retardant would really make these pastes earn five stars.

Love this embossing powder; it's so fine it's almost detail powder. Makes very crisp lines, completely opaque even on black paper.

I just love this color - it's so rich and vibrant.

I love this stencil, but it is very, very delicate. I tried cleaning it with a towel and managed to tear one of the thinnest strips, so just wash with soap and water, handling very carefully. The result of using this stencil is really gorgeous, though, so worth the trouble.

Love this, especially if you start with one color in the center and expand to two or three other colors as you move outward. Beautiful!

Love this, but you do have to be careful about which way you brush or blend to get a clear impression. Spraying removable adhesive on the back before putting it down on your paper might make things easier.

Tiring of regularly having to put blades in my SU trimmer/scorer, I decided to give this a try. I like the compact size, although it would be nice if it cut standard paper lengthwise. The blade is nice and sharp, but you do have to hold the paper down firmly, especially substantial cardstock, or it will slip and make an uneven cut.

These are good solid thick blocks and the wavy edge makes them a pleasure to handle.
