    magical motif, good quality (27 March 2024)

    I like stamps that let me build scenes, and this is a really nice character stamp.
    The quality is good, sturdy but not too stiff. Good imprint, but I had to re-ink it a few times so it's best to use this with a stamping platform.



  • Verified Buyer

    Grim, but super cute (25 March 2024)

    I love how cute this die is. It cuts very well too.

    It's very clear where all the parts need to go. The only part that made me a bit confused was the right-side hand.

    About the swinging mechanism: I haven't found a good way to make the swinging frictionless yet, and I noticed that I needed to weigh down the right side of the body to offset the weight of the scythe.



  • Verified Buyer

    excellent background stamp (11 March 2024)

    This is a good background stamp. Because of the vertical text alignment, it's also very easy to make continuous backgrounds if you need to cover more than 6X6 inch.



  • Verified Buyer

    good quality stencil, useful textures (11 March 2024)

    The stencil feels a bit sturdier than other stencils I have in my stash. Love it. The textures are very useful.



  • Verified Buyer

    clean and crisp image (11 March 2024)

    This a good stamp with a crisp imprint, as one would expect from a rubber stamp.



  • Verified Buyer

    Perfectly sized moon (11 March 2024)

    I like this moon stencil. It has the moon (in 3 layers) and also a mask for inking around the moon.
    Most of my crafts are less than 6x6 so this was a very good size for me.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good for foiling, details are a bit unclear (11 March 2024)

    I really like this powder and I use it a lot. It's great for adding foiling accents to stamped images. Just bear in mind that fine details are sometimes a bit hit or miss.



  • Verified Buyer

    Makes aligning much easier (06 March 2024)

    This is a very simple tool and it's one that I can do without, but I love it because it takes the calculating, measuring, and second-guessing out of my notebook-making.
    The tool itself was surprisingly sturdy (I had expected a plastic tool, but it feels like metal).



  • Verified Buyer

    Perfect size! (06 March 2024)

    This blender is perfect for the small (but not tiny) blending needs, like edges.
    I love it so much that I ended up ordering 2 more brushes of this size once I had received the first one.



  • Verified Buyer

    Useful pocket (26 September 2023)

    I like creating archive-style items, so this pocket die and the library card stamp is great!



  • Verified Buyer

    Creepy and cute (26 September 2023)

    These bunnies can be styled both as creepy and cute by just changing the colors.



  • Verified Buyer

    A bit bigger than expected (26 September 2023)

    Please be aware that these dies are more like a centerpiece on a card than an accent. Other than that, they are lovely.



  • Verified Buyer

    Great little bird skulls (26 September 2023)

    I love the little bird skulls. My molding up to now has been done with hot glue and some off-brand modeling paste. Results are great.

    Only problem has been little air bubbles around the nasal cavity and eye ridges, but this might fix itself if I use a different material for the molds.



  • Verified Buyer

    Versatile folder (26 September 2023)

    I like how both the positive and negative side of this folder will work nicely.

    When I initially tried it, I thought that calling it 3d was uncalled for as the embossing seemed to be only on/off. Upon closer inspection, I found that there are differences in levels of embossing, but they are very subtle, and this is just one more reason to love this folder.



  • Verified Buyer

    Tiny, tiny print (26 September 2023)

    I mainly bought these for the graph-side of the papers, and they're a bit too small. But that's okay, the colors are really pretty and I can definitely use these in other projects.



  • Verified Buyer

    Like real stamps (26 September 2023)

    I love that these are die cut with the "hole perforation" to separate the stamps. It makes them look very real.



  • Verified Buyer

    Lovely chemistry - a bit tricky to line up (13 April 2023)

    I love these conical flasks. I can see myself putting flowers in them or a landscape at the bottom.

    I did find it a bit difficult to line the flask up perfectly with its 'shadow' stamp.



  • Verified Buyer

    Versatile dragon (13 April 2023)

    I love dragons, so this was a great stamp for me. Depending on how you color it you can make it look like dragon boy or a boy dressed up as a dragon.

    I'm a little bit confused as to where I would use the texture stamps that came with the set, but I'm sure I'll find a purpose for them in the future.

    The stamp is firm and makes a good impression, but I believe that due to the size of the stamp it's best to use it with a misti or similar tool.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good impression, great motif (13 April 2023)

    This is my first Pink Ink Design stamp and I'm very happy with the quality. The stamp is firm and makes a good impression.

    I believe that due to the size of the stamp it's best to use it with a misti or similar tool.



  • Verified Buyer

    Surprisingly good (13 April 2023)

    These scissors are surprisingly good: the blade is sharp and it cuts well all the way to the edge. I'm very happy with them.

    The grips are fairly small, so if you have big hands it might be a concern.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good, but not small (13 April 2023)

    I love these brushes, but they aren't as small as I'd like them to be.



  • Verified Buyer

    Annoying coating (13 April 2023)

    These papers come with a coating that make them feel somewhat plasticky. I wanted to use these papers for mini book covers, but with the coating, normal paper glue probably won't work very well on them.

    The wood and the corkboard papers (1 and 4 from the left on the bottom row) are more red than indicated in the picture.



  • Verified Buyer

    Uneven collection (22 January 2023)

    I bought this collection mainly for the skeleton and I'm very happy with it.
    The only complaint I have is that the pictures aren't all in the same style. What I mean is that the line work on the skeleton is much thicker than on the crystals so they don't look that great together.



  • Verified Buyer

    Transparent would be better (20 October 2022)

    I love this product. I don't have a foiling machine, and this lets me add foils very easily to cards. And it looks great!
    My only complaint (and it's a minor one) with this product is that the rub-ons are yellow and if you use any kind of transparent effect foil, they yellow shines through.



  • Verified Buyer

    Flimsy material, but good motifs (20 October 2022)

    The material in this stamp set felt a bit too flexible for my liking, but the impression they make is ok and there's a lot of useful elements here.



  • Verified Buyer

    Cute set (20 October 2022)

    Cute set. I always get a little bit worried about using words that I don't know what they mean, so I ran google translate on the chinese characters and now I'm 70% certain they say "live, laugh, love". Not sure I'll ever use that part, but the rest of the set is fine.



  • Verified Buyer

    Useful! (20 October 2022)

    I use this stamp for the back of all my post cards. I had to cut off the "made with love" part to make it more scalable, but I don't mind since I can use that cut-off piece separately.



  • Verified Buyer

    Perfect finish (20 October 2022)

    I love these clear enamel dots, they're a great finish on a card



  • Verified Buyer

    Santa is a bit annoying to put together (20 October 2022)

    The santa die is a bit annoying to put together, but well worth it.



  • Verified Buyer

    Discolored tape (20 October 2022)

    The tape rolls on both sides of the glitter tape got yellow discoloration. This most likely means that the black glitter tape should not be used on white cardstock as it might discolor that as well.



  • Verified Buyer

    Doesn't look like the photo (15 August 2022)

    From the photo I thought the patterns on the foil sheets were
    Blue, antique rose gold, antique gold.
    In reality the colors are:
    Rainbow, splatters of pink and violet on silver background, splatters of yellow and black on a silver background.



  • Verified Buyer

    great print, lovely design (15 August 2022)

    The size of this stamp is great. I love the "bio"/"tech" theme in the design. It's always fun to work with visible image stamps.



  • Verified Buyer

    Cuts well (15 August 2022)

    It cuts very well and I'm so happy that the polaroid frames worked for both the "Elizabeth Craft Designs - Time To Travel Collection - Clear Photopolymer Stamps - Framed" and the "Elizabeth Craft Designs - Christmas Lives Here Collection - Clear Photopolymer Stamps - Winter Days" stampsets.



  • Verified Buyer

    Sturdy (15 August 2022)

    I like how this stencil is sturdy and not so flimsy as other stencils on the market. Worked great with a blending brush.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good stamp quality (15 August 2022)

    Great stamp set with good quality stamps.
    I love that the frame die from "Elizabeth Craft Designs - Time To Travel Collection - Dies - Photo Film Slides" works with these frames too.



  • Verified Buyer

    Great stamp, better with a platform (04 November 2021)

    I love how the stairs seem to lead off to great adventures. The stamp is best used with a platform because it's hard to get all the ink in on the first stamping.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good stamp quality, useful motifs (04 November 2021)

    I work with computers, and that little circuit stamp is great for backgrounds on work-related scrapbooking items.
    The stamps feel firm and are easy to use. And of course, the designs are lovely!



  • Verified Buyer

    Crisp print (04 January 2021)

    Good, crisp print. Works best with a stamping platform as it's hard to get it evenly inked and therefore I need to stamp the image a few times to get an even print.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good impressions, stable stamps (02 November 2020)

    I am usually not very fond of clear stamps, because I find they are often a bit flimsy, but these were nice, thick and stable and left a good impression on my cards.
    Being that it's recommended to maintain social distancing this year, the "looking forward to the holiday parties we skip together" was very useful.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good, thick stamps (02 November 2020)

    I am usually not very fond of clear stamps, because I find they are often a bit flimsy, but these were nice, thick and stable and left a good impression on my cards.



  • Verified Buyer

    A bit small (12 October 2020)

    This stamp will be good for the minimum size of an international standard postcard: 5.51 x 3.54 in (140 x 90 mm).
    Please be aware that it won't be that great for the average size post card (A6).

    But on the other hand, because it's small, it will make for a great addition of "fake postcard" to any 12x12 in layout =)



  • Verified Buyer

    Not like the color in the photo (12 October 2020)

    I had bought this hoping for a saturated red with a bit of brown in it, and got something more fuchsia-like. I'm disappointed.



  • Verified Buyer

    Crisp impression (01 October 2020)

    Crisp impression, good size, very useful



  • Verified Buyer

    Great motif, but bad quality (05 June 2020)

    The print is not as crisp as it should be and therefore the strands of her hair and the leaves in her hair come out looking lacking detail.
    I tried stamping it multiple times on different papers, using a stamping platform and there's just no winning with this stamp. The only thing to do is to stamp with a light ink and then use a pen to trace the lines.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good stamp (05 April 2020)

    It's a lovely stamp and the print quality is great. My only concern is that I might offend someone by using it.



  • Verified Buyer

    Not very clingy (31 March 2020)

    I ordered two stamps of this brand, and none of them were clingy enough for my taste. I was afraid the dragon would fall off the stamping tool when I used it.



  • Verified Buyer

    Not clingy enough (31 March 2020)

    As opposed to the people in my life, I'd prefer my stamps to be properly clingy, and this one leaves a lot to be desired.



  • Verified Buyer

    Loved it, but wish it had been a bit more versatile. (31 March 2020)

    I love this product, use it all the time.
    I wish it would have been a bit more versatile though. Currently you can only get the letters punched at the 'top' of a page, I wish it would have been possible to reverse them so you cold punch at the bottom of the page too.



  • Verified Buyer

    Love the texture (27 September 2017)

    I really like the Andy Skinner stamps. I they add great texture. I use them a lot on the edges of mixed media projects to get the little scratches and such.



  • Verified Buyer

    Fun small font (05 November 2016)

    I like how the letters are a jumbled mix of fonts.
    I wouldn't use these for 12x12 layout titles because they are too small for that, but they are great for cards and tags.



  • Verified Buyer

    really nice colour scheme (01 September 2016)

    High quality card stock with wonderful colours. The golden accents are lovely.
    There are quite a few patterned papers that will be great for die-cuts and matting. The bigger motifs are beautiful by themselves and I can see how they will be lovely to display my photos against.



  • Verified Buyer

    Thin cardstock, varying resolution (01 September 2016)

    This cardstock is thinner than I expected.

    The prints are nice but I found that they were somewhat varied in resolution. I doubt it will be noticeable if the paper is used as background cardstock.

    The sticker sheet is very cute.



  • Verified Buyer

    space for colouring (07 June 2016)

    I like this stamp, just like I like all the other bloom girl stamps because they leave so much room for colouring and decorating.
    If you're buying it, please be aware that it's a bit smaller than the regular bloom girl stamps.



  • Verified Buyer

    Tiny accents (07 June 2016)

    Yes, the previous reviewer was right that these are indeed small dies. They all fit on a 1x1 die, so they are tiny.
    They are nicely dimensioned for flying in between words on my layouts I think.



  • Verified Buyer

    Annoying logo (07 June 2016)

    First of all, I like this stamp and I will definitely use it a lot for get-well cards. I love how the details are simple.
    There are also three label stamps included, two hearts and some corners, but they don't all show on the product image.
    That brings me to my two complaints about this stamp set:
    1) The product image doesn't show all the stamps.
    2) They stuff the santoro logo on the main stamp. That means that unless you alter the stamp, you're going to get that logo stamped as well. I find this incredibly annoying and if most major stamp companies can refrain from doing that I don't see any reason why santoro needs to do it.



  • Verified Buyer

    Love the stamp, but... (07 June 2016)

    First of all, this is a really nice stamp set. I really like the main motif and the foxes. The size is perfect for me.
    There's also a label stamp included that fits the border, but it doesn't show on the product image.
    This brings me to my two major gripes with this product:
    1) The product image doesn't show all the stamps.
    2) They stuff the santoro logo on the main stamp. That means that unless you alter the stamp, you're going to get that logo stamped as well.



  • Verified Buyer

    Texture (23 May 2016)

    I was pleasantly surprised that the paper was textured



  • Verified Buyer

    Fussy die (24 April 2016)

    I usually get along really well with the thinlits dies and this is by no means the most detailed die I have, but it's the hardest one to clean and it requires a few runs through my big-shot before it cuts all the way though. This makes me think twice before using this die.
    It is a lovely design and I will definitely be using it for more projects, but I think it could have functioned better.



  • Verified Buyer

    Okay for small areas (31 January 2016)

    This product is okay to use for the occasional spritz on the page. I wouldn't want to cover a larger area as it was rather difficult to get an even spray going.



  • Verified Buyer

    lovely bottles (31 January 2016)

    I love these little bottles. When I bought them I was worried that they would stick out more from the page, but they are actually rather flat, so that's not a problem.



  • Verified Buyer

    Detailed (31 January 2016)

    This is a very finely cut corner embellishment and I love the look of it. I worry a little bit that the upper leaf might fall off because the material is really thin there, so I will be careful when I use this lovely embellishment.



  • Verified Buyer

    Crackle (31 January 2016)

    I really enjoy the pattern that this stencil makes. I've used it with spray and ink on cardstock and it makes the backgrounds more interesting.



  • Verified Buyer

    Texture helper (31 January 2016)

    I used this stencil with molding paste and really loved the texture it created.



  • Verified Buyer

    Swirly elegance (12 September 2015)

    I like how this die is swirly and detailed without being hard to cut. It adds an elegant touch to any owl project.



  • Verified Buyer

    super useful (11 May 2015)

    I use these pens to edge almost all my die cuts. They're super useful for making any element I add to a composition blend in better.



  • Verified Buyer

    Cute and spooky (20 July 2014)

    These owls can be both cute and spooky depending on how you make their surroundings. It's a good die.



  • Verified Buyer

    Avoid using on light colored paper (20 July 2014)

    I die cut this owl in yellow and put it on a black paper. I found that the beak looked really strange in that setup.
    The owl works best if it's done in a dark color on light colored background.



  • Verified Buyer

    happy colors (20 July 2014)

    These brads are just so cute and happy. They're good for all sorts of layouts.
    I only gave it 3 stars because one of them was broken when I opened the package, but the good news is that I managed to fix it (I just had to replace the bead itself).



  • Verified Buyer

    easy to scratch (20 July 2014)

    These sheets look really pretty but they easily get scratched which makes them loose their beauty. In fact when I received the product the pink sheet had already got a scratch on it.
    When using glue the colour also changes very quickly on these sheets.
    They really look nice, but I find them too fragile to work with.



  • Verified Buyer

    Suprising stars (18 July 2014)

    It's not too clear by the product pictures but the stars in this embossing folder are not mere raised 'flat' stars, they are 'nautical stars' which means that they have different degrees of embossing.
    To accomodate this the folder is a little bit thicker than the average embossing folder, so you will need to use one less tab on the sizzix platform.

    I really love this design and it's going to be great for a lot of different projects.



  • Verified Buyer

    Great effect (15 July 2014)

    I love this tape for the really nice crackle effect it adds. I see a lot of uses for it but have so far only used it on one project.

    If you're planning on cutting it with a scalpel into shapes, take into account that it's a bit harder to cut than usual paper tape because of the silver accents.



  • Verified Buyer

    Useful (06 July 2014)

    I like putting a city in the background and have over the years bought a few dies to do this. I really liked the xcut 'build a scene' die because it lets you keep the paper as long or short as you want it.
    The only complaint I have is that the paper is a bit hard to remove from the die and sometimes it breaks.



  • Verified Buyer

    edge accents (02 May 2014)

    These dies work really well as edge decorations to any element on your scrapbook page or card.



  • Verified Buyer

    fairly useless (02 May 2014)

    I never manage to pierce through the paper with this design (works great with other sew-easy heads) so I always end up having to go over things with a sewing needle afterwards. In some cases I've even damaged the paper because the 'roller' slipped instead of making a mark.



  • Verified Buyer

    versatile (02 May 2014)

    These stackable dies are super nice to use because they are a little bit longer than my average dies.
    The cut of the die occurs both inside and outside of the cutting edge, so that when you lift out your die-cut piece of paper you're left with a nice and decorated frame on the remainder of the paper.



  • Verified Buyer

    Great design (02 May 2014)

    I love lights and lanterns and these stickers are really cute.

    One thing that I noticed when I unpacked mine was that the glue that kept the top part of the lantern with the bug in place had loosened.
    It's not a biggie, and I easily replaced the foam glue, but I expect better quality from jolee's.



  • Verified Buyer

    Reindeers (23 April 2014)

    The reindeers are really nice also for cards that are not christmas-related. I did a page about forest animals a while ago and they fit in great there too.



  • Verified Buyer

    Scarier without skull (23 April 2014)

    I like this stamp. It's useful as background or as main motif. My only gripe is the skull on the back of the butterfly, it would have been scarier without.



  • Verified Buyer

    Great trellis (23 April 2014)

    This trellis is really great as a corner decoration on any card. This is the main reason why I bought it. I could care less about the butterfly, which in my opinion is pretty badly designed.



  • Verified Buyer

    Really cute, but strange material (23 April 2014)

    This stamp is really cute, but when I bought it I thought it would be a rubber stamp and it seems to be made of some kind of plastic. It stamps well enough and the motif is nice to color.



  • Verified Buyer

    Great for steampunk stuff (11 January 2014)

    I used these on a few steampunk projects. They fit great.
    A tip: rub some ink on them to make them look a little bit less 'clean'.



  • Verified Buyer

    Gory, but useful (11 January 2014)

    I love this stamp-set. It's charmingly non-cute and I see a lot of use for it during Halloween and in darker projects. My favorite stamp on this sheet is the biohazard stamp, I'm only sorry that they didn't include a radioactive one too =)



  • Verified Buyer

    Totally addictive (03 October 2013)

    I love this smash book. I picked it up 2 weeks ago and I find myself feeling happy to add things to it in a way that I usually don't when I try to make cards or 12x12 layouts because there are no rules here and I can do whatever I want to it.
    In fact I like it so much that I've ordered another one for myself and one more for a friend as a xmas gift.



  • Verified Buyer

    Great for funny cards (03 October 2013)

    I love these stamps. My mom bought them for me and I find myself choosing pictures that will go nice with the sayings just because they're so darn funny.
    I use them a lot in my smash book too.



  • Nice to have (26 September 2013)

    This die is nice to have, but not indispensable. Great for twigs on halloween cards, but not much else.



  • Verified Buyer

    great for cards (29 September 2012)

    Easy to use, and the cut is great. Just the right size for my 6x6 inch cards too.



  • Verified Buyer

    good idea, not so good implementation (21 September 2012)

    This is a nice template, my only problem is that the embossing tends to drift a bit, so it ends up in the wrong place.



  • Verified Buyer

    well-sized (21 September 2012)

    Great alphabet for xmas and halloween cards. Love that the letters are modestly sized and don't take up the entire card space.



  • Verified Buyer

    Fence (05 August 2012)

    It's an okay die, but there's only so much you can do with a fence.



  • Verified Buyer

    Flowers (05 August 2012)

    This die is very easy to store, as it's small and I find the flowers' different shapes look good together. The big hollow flower feels a bit pointless though.



  • Verified Buyer

    Branch and leaf (05 August 2012)

    This die is great in combination with the bird and cage die because then you can put the bird on the branch, but on its own it's a bit pointless. The leaf is too big to fit the branch and I think that it may have been cooler if they had made the leaf die into a die producing several smaller leaves.



  • Verified Buyer

    Bird and cage (05 August 2012)

    Very useful die. It makes a great addition to cards and I love the cage. My only problem with it is that the cage doesn't fit inside my movers and shapers tag template.



  • Verified Buyer

    symphony tape (25 June 2012)

    The symphony tape is really nice to use for accents.



  • Verified Buyer

    Tissue tape (25 June 2012)

    I love the tissue tape, the text tape makes a great background and the butterflies are very decorative.



  • Verified Buyer

    Shrink film (25 June 2012)

    I love shrink film and use it for a lot of my cards. Usually I run it through my sizzix with any die cut and stamp and colour it before I shrink it. These miniature embellishments are great accents.



  • Verified Buyer

    On the edge (25 June 2012)

    Got to use this die cut a few times for different projects. It's very easy to separate the houses or keep them as a background townscape.



  • Verified Buyer

    One of my favorite embellishments (25 June 2012)

    The cut and emboss feature is easy to use (just make sure to get a tan embossing mat for the machine you're using) and the keys themselves are so lovely. A big plus is that after you've cut/embossed the key you can leave the die on it and run some color over the holes in the die to highlight it.



  • Verified Buyer

    The bird (25 June 2012)

    I really like the bird, depending on what color and pattern you put on it, it doesn't have to be halloween-like at all.
    The cat is unfortunately always scared =)



  • Verified Buyer

    Super-useful (25 June 2012)

    I love this stamp set because it's so useful. Especially the skyline and the border (on the left in the picture).



  • Verified Buyer

    great (25 June 2012)

    Does what it should: Gives a great edge to my tags.



  • Verified Buyer

    Nice idea, but cheaply executed (25 June 2012)

    This is a really nice idea. I really like the stamps and their cut-outs are great, with one exception: the fern. I personally think that the fern die could have cut away more of the paper between the leaves, now I find myself cutting that manually, which is not really the point when you buy something.



  • Verified Buyer

    Good background (25 June 2012)

    I've used this one on a few of my projects. It's a good background stamp and the embossing folder gives it a nice lift. I wish the embossing folder had been a little bit more detailed but generally this is one of my better buys.



  • Verified Buyer

    cute, but not necessary (25 June 2012)

    This product would have been more useful if the "fold" in the folder had been on the bottom of the car and man folders. as it is now I'm unfortunately bound to the size of the folder.
