This is an easy layered stencil set to use, both with and without the stamp. Pinkfresh intentionally designed the stencils to be a little offset, which gives the result a playful look. The images are charming and whimsical!

This foil plate is so fun to foil! The results are spectacular, and it's so easy to achieve a beautiful, elegant look. I bought the die and stencils at the same time, and it all works beautifully together. You can also color the foiled image with Copics for a truly stunning look.

I was very surprised when I opened this package of beautiful papers to discover that each piece was printed on extremely slick, glossy paper. It's very pretty, and if glossy is the finish you want, I would definitely recommend it. Unfortunately, I had planned to use it for cards, and you'd have to use a Sharpie or slick writer of some kind to write on it. It's a nice, fairly heavy weight (mentioning this as it's not in the product description, and I would have liked to have known this before purchasing). I hope this information helps another buyer!

This is a great replacement for the iCraft purple tape (for which in 2020 they changed the tackiness so now it doesn't stick at all!). The Scrapbook.com mint tape is exactly the right tackiness for die cutting, and for taping down watercolor projects. No ripping when removing it, and everything stays where it's supposed to during application. I have re-used the same pieces several times already, so it's a great re-usable value. I highly recommend this as a replacement for the purple tape we all loved and can no longer buy.

They changed the tackiness of this tape from the original. And now you can only use it once for die-cutting or to hold paper down. It completely loses tackiness after just one use. Bring back the real purple tape!

I love these elements for shaker cards! Nice variety, good easy to access packaging, reasonable price.

This is the tape to use for pop-up or shaker cards. Very strong bond.

At first I wasn't sure how I felt about these rolls of adhesive. They can become a tangled mess pretty quickly when you're trying to unroll it and apply it simultaneously. But then I figured out that if you unroll the adhesive over waxed paper, it helps keep the unused portion that is spooled out from sticking unintentionally to other surfaces while you adhere the bit you're using. It pops right off the waxed paper and easily rolls back up. Also, I saw someone on a You-Tube video use the side of an acrylic block as a quick edge to tear the tape, which was a useful trick too! Hope that helps someone else! I would definitely recommend this product, knowing those tricks.

If you like creating shaker cards, this is the mix for you! I love that these come in color families, with lots of different shapes and sizes in each container. The containers are easy to open and close, and not easy to knock over (very important when in mid-fill!). I loved this so much I came back and bought two more sets.

I was using 3M foam tape to add dimension to projects, but this is much better. First, it smells a lot better, which matters! It's easy to use from the roll, and there is a lot there!

I made a mistake in buying the Big Shot Pro with the extended platform. If you are not a quilter, you really won't have much use for the extended platform. I hope others learn from my review; I had to buy all of the standard platform, cutting pads, and crease pad separately, as well as the thin die adaptor (which you would have to get separately anyway), and it would have been less expensive to buy the adapter pad, cutting pads and crease pad with the standard size deal that came with the Big Shot Pro. The standard size is a much more manageable size, especially if you don't have an enormous space for the machine, it's pretty big!

The magnets really keep the dies in place, so if you have to run it through the machine more than once it won’t shift. Great tool.

This stamp set is adorable! Works best if you die cut with the coordinating die first, then stamp. Really cute and quick!
