Not what I thought I was getting. I purchased this kit at a craft store, intending to use it to scrapbook a road trip. The kit contains 12 two-sided pages.

MT's ugliest batch. I didn't expect what I got which was a box of dark-toned colors--so dark I need to be in serious light to make out what half of the colors even are. With the exception of the red, all the hues are muddied as well. To tell the olive from gray I had to go over to a light bulb, then again for a few mo...

Quality Brush. I was really pleased with the quality of this brush. I have the large Annie Sloan brushes. IMO this brush is just as nice. I bought it to use for clear wax to use over chalk paint. If you do a lot of this you will want one for clear and one for dark wax. I really like the little leather strap! I actually...

Used for a church vacation Bible School. We had 1 very old mold for a 10 commandment plaster craft for our VBS. I searched all over online and couldn't find something I liked so well though, so I bought this and made some replica molds so we could get enough copies made. It worked. If you can mix and pour a plaster mol...

I like the smell...but I'm not sure if I would call it caramel. I've gotten another fragrance from this seller before (their McKintosh Apple fragrance is to DIE for), and someone I was making a body butter for really wanted something that smelled like caramel. They were satisfied, but the scent reminded me more of cake...

MIXED QUALITY over different products. Some ok, some just terrible. I have purchased several of these items from this company, it really is a hit or miss proposition as to the quality of what you are going to get, some of them I only lost 1 or 2 due to bad craftsmanship,ie. the screws don't fit either to bad milling or...

Beautiful, quality tapes, except. I'm seldom satisfied with any metallic washi tape I've seen; they are either too "bright" & fake looking, or look cheap and unsubstantial. Not these! They look pretty much as pictured, given that the metallic sheen doesn't show in an online photo. But I don't understand why the tape on...

Did not work for me. I bought this to mount and cut photos on 3/16 inch foam board. I watched a great video from Adorama and the guy was using this so I bought it. I hated it. It will not cut deep enough to go through the picture and the foamboard. That leaves a thin connection that you have to go back and re-cut - whi...

Fun and Unique Gorgeous paper. I love this paper. I had gotten the 6x6 pad at a craft store ( the big "J") and it was great so finding the full 12x12 sheets was a bonus. I love the Core'dinations line and die cut and emboss them so I really enjoy the added features they put into their product. If you have not used them...

The best scissors I have found for the money. I'm sure the titanium infused blades are a gimmick. If they had a significant amount of titanium in them, they would cost $60. That being said, these are still great scissors. No, they won't last forever, but for $8, they are hard to beat. I bought a 3-pack of the standard ...

Pretty good cable. The cable makes a smooth transition from the ChiaGoo interchangeable needles (size small). I ordered the 50" cable and even with all of the length, the cable doesn't twist or try to tangle like some of my others have in the past. The cable also isn't very rigid, making it much easier to work with t...
