Stacy B's Reviews

I admit, I'm sold on this paper that is themed by season. The variety of each individual hue is useful for coordinating pieces. I use the 8.5x11 papers for cardmaking. It's convenient to have a handful of pieces in the same color for a matching set of cards.

The paper is heavy and beautifully textured. The packaging makes it convenient for storage

These dies work great using the thin die sandwich in the Cuttlebug. Stamps with matching dies is the right answer... I will be watching for more designs.

I do wish the different sized shapes were closer together so that the larger one would make an attractive shadow for the stamped shape. For example, I'd like to stamp and cut the "Love" design, and cut another shape just barely larger from cardstock to use as a shadow. The sizes that are provided just don't make a nice looking shadow for these shapes.

After I ordered this I was a little concerned that it would be too light. But it's definitely a mid-tone. It looks really pretty used on its own with even the most detailed stamps.

I think I've had these scissors for 15 years now! (Is that possible?) I've never had a die cutting machine of any kind. If I make my own letters, I grab these scissors. If I cut a silhouette out of a picture, I use these scissors. They're sharp and accurate. The small size makes them easy to maneuver around tiny curves and angles.

The 6x12 pages are my favorite size beyond the usual 12x12 layouts in my albums. I like to use these for a picture plus a list layout, to extend a 12x12 layout without using a full second page, and to introduce a new category in in the album.

I like the simple design of page protector. I don't want any style on the page protector to detract from my layouts/ photos. I only gave it 4 stars though, because I would like to see a little reinforcement at the ring holes. My toddler can be pretty rough turning the pages!
