The Artistic Gnome's Reviews

I have no complaints about the quality of the markers, but the shades don't come out as pictured. Except for the darkest shade, the other two appear very yellow/beige and look nothing like the swatch. You can't really do a gradation effect because of that.

Avery Elle Tropical Bouquet stamps are perfectly cut with these dies. I think they are both discontinued so I was glad to be able to buy the dies to cut the stamped images. It's a great set with two hibiscus flowers and several tropical leaves, including monstera which I love. This is the only set of Avery Elle products I have and I was quite impressed.

This is such a beautiful embossing folder! The effect is very three dimensional and comes out crisp. So far this is my favorite embossing folder and I have quite a few.

It's a very nice stamp set. The image quality can differ a lot depending on the ink pad you use though. With dye-based ink a couple of presses are required to get a crisp image. Other than that these are quite beautiful.

I love Hero Arts' layering stamps and this one is one of my favorites. This set is very easy to use and you don't have to worry too much about missing the alignment as long as you use a stamping platform like the Stamparatus or the Misti.

I fell in love with Tim Holtz's Snarky Cats and this set was so fun. I have made birthday cards with these and everybody had a good laugh. The rubber is great quality and grabs any ink very well, no second press necessary. A real joy to use.

This was a gift with purchase but what a useful and cute set! I ended up using all of the stamps in the set for almost every occasion. I also bought the matching glasses dies and they make such a cute accent. Love it.

This is such an inexpensive die but it makes any stamped image or die cut look a hundred times fancier. Love the details on the frame.

It's a free gift and a good one! Cuts beautifully.

What a cute and pretty set of flowers! Love these! They cut well and emboss too. Worth the extra effort. I really like the etched dies from Spellbinders. The details make a huge difference.

The Bibi's Butterflies collection is so nice! These make beautiful die cuts and cut in one pass. Spellbinders makes some of the best dies.
