Excellent sketchbook for watercolour. The paper is sturdy and doesn't buckle very much. Only buckles slightly for light watercolour washes, for heavier washes, it does warp a little bit but not as bad as the moleskin I have. The background is crispy white, not toned. Most pages open evenly, however due to the heavy thicker paper, there are some pages that don't open entirely flat. Its 300 GSM paper.

These are nice brushes for finely detailed work. I would like them to be a bit longer but that isn't the fault of the brushes. Very good!
5
They're okay. Nice size but not the best quality. Okay maybe for local plein air but I won't pack them for travel. Now that I have better travel brushes these have been downgraded to "craft" and I use them with fabric medium for my Inktense blocks. I wouldn't rate these as Intermediate but as Student grade and not great at that. There are better synthetic brushes than these. I do like the case and have repurposed that with a better grade of travel brushes. Remember, you get what you pay for and these brushes don't cost that much.

Another great product from Hero Arts.
5
Tried these the same day they came in. They cut well, but they bend and warp the paper. It makes the finished product useless. See pictures. This happened with all 3 sizes I tried. Sending back.
1
It's smaller than what I expected. You can't fit much into it, so bear this in mind if ordering.
5
Exactly as advertised; very uniforme in both shape and setting duration, as well as transparency.
5
I love this product. It does what it is supposed to do. I would buy it again.
5
Very nice tip. Army Painter is a great company. I love their brushes. I would and do plan on buying more of these as the ones I have start to fray
5
No complaints, as described!
5
Received promptly, didn't realize brother required special bobbins.

Love it, love it, Can't stop using it. I work with a group of girls and brought the machine to make some cards with them. They loved it also and the cards turned out great. The machine doesn't come with the C plate but I just add some shim if I need it when I use other brand dies and it works perfect. I like the fact that the machine folds, it takes little space in my craft room and is portable, looks like a purse.

This thin arrived smelling like the worst sort of plastic chemical. The cover is the only good thing about this thing. The pages are cheap and when you put a page in and turn it it becomes too tight and wrinkles the contents as you flip the sleeve. I will have to buy completely different page protectors to get this to work. Just as well that it only comes with ten - I assumed it was 20 sheets and thus 40 pages - Nope. The cover itself is ok as the pattern is nice, but it's not as luxurious as many you can pick up for the same price (with a coupon) at Michaels. Unfortunately I'm living on an island right now and there is no AC Moore or Michaels to speak of. Not worth the week it took to arrive, pick something else.

Item was perfect
5
Really nice tape. It actually sticks
5
I found I really prefer AIG Sticky Sticks. Not only are they easier to handle, but you can stick on in your little change purse and take it out and use it anywhere. This item has stuff that comes out of the end and gets too little or too much and whatever. I am going to use it until the green stuff is used and then not anymore. I needed to get back here and change this. I have found that I like it much and use it all the time. Here's what is great about it. It sticks to the item you want to set and releases much easier than the Sticky Sticks (they have wax). The sticky sticks cling to hard when I am using Glossy Accents or a wet glue under the pearl, etc.
5
It works OK with the brush mat, but it can tend to shred the surface of a foam block if you get too aggressive with it.
4
Very pleased with the outcome when I use the product.
5
Perfect for the beginner who would like to learn a lot of things.
5
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this machine! Easy to use.
5
Good value and it introduced me to gourd shaped safety pins that make EXCELLENT stitch markers.
4
Use one for sewing and one on my desk for paper clips.
5
I never went wrong with Aurifil thread ---- I love these bigger spools, I don't have to change them very often when quilting --
5
This was so much fun to color and I just love the way it turned out! This is a beautiful heavy duty canvas that is ready to hang as soon as you finishe coloring it. It is of a very good quality and I will definitely be buying more of these...
5
I'm a full-time engineer and part-time illustrator, I started drawing in my mid-30s but was always on the lookout for good pencils and paper for work.. After several rounds of "stuff" I have finally settled on the these little Strathmore sketchbooks as the ideal....the paper is awesome, the size is just right and the perforations are great for doing one-off pieces and portraits.. I don't plan to check out any more sketchbooks for comparison (though I have experimented enough to know that Canson is pretty good), I don't have any particular brand loyalty but This Is The Ideal Sketchbook for all of my needs and I plan to just keep one nearby...it's a staple, like flour, coffee, sugar, and 2B leads... If you want a small sketchbook for pencil work (engineering or art) these are great tools...when I was younger I used to use spiral bound notebooks for all my work stuff (and I couldn't draw)...when I upgraded my core CPU/GPU skills and adding the rendering/shading capabilities for graphics, my display device had to change (no blue lines)...in the right hands, one of these sketchbooks is like a portable workstation..
5
The starter kit was to have a cutting mat. Sence there was no mat in my shipment I cannot use the cutter.
1
This candle warmer is great. We have two of them.
5
All, of these Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stains Rock
5
These are perfect for what I got them for. I like the variety. Very pretty.
5
Product arrived in good condition and appeared as advertised. Husband had to help install though as it was a bit tight to get on.
5
These are great! I love that when they dry they look like paint and are nice and shiny. They are great to use with my regular gel pens.
5
It is very nice, however, it does not fit my older Brother Embroidery Machine (PE150)... My bad, I didn't read the full description. Sending it back, exchanging it for the right one... LOL
4
Love them. Beautiful!
5
OMG! ! ! How did I ever live without these - well, I broke a LOT of fingernails trying to pry open those darned split rings - NO MORE! LOVE this tool. (I tried using a staple remover for awhile - not always successful with that and I had NO idea how far one of those little split rings could fly ). I'll never be without this tool - and I'll cry IF it ever breaks or gets lost until I get a new one.
5
This is exactly what I want and it works great for water colors.
5
These are very nice as described and I will probably order more.
5
I really like these. They provide a subtle sparkle that doesn't rub off. I think the look is much more tasteful than glitter gel pens. I'd prefer orange over yet another gold glitter marker, but overall I think these are the best glitter markers I own. They are also gentle on most papers, unless used on paper still wet from another marker.
5
This cuts amazing cuts in no time at all. I love it.
5
These little painted bits of heaven are awesome. I was a bit nervous because I had never used them before but they do work beautifully. You can cut them up and paste inside of art journals to have a traveling pallet or just flip through the book and touch a wet brush to them to pick up the color. Great for washes!!
5
Great starter kit.
5
Very good quality for a good price! If i need more i would not hesitate to get these again.
5
This tool is fantastic. It will improve the results you achieve, especially with vinyl, though I use it with paper. It's a sturdy, well made tool.
5
Great for taking off little "oops" ink stains on cards.
5
I just recently used this extra foot for my Brother sewing machine. I'd been using my walking foot to stitch in the ditch and was only reasonably accurate. This specialized foot travels along the existing seam to keep you right in the ditch without veering off. This product is a great accessory for quilters.
5
Great mirrors. I bought them and super glued hooks on them to put in my Christmas tree to reflect more light.
5
This die has adds a lot to any paper project; I use it for cards and for scrapbooking and adds a nice touch of elegance to any project
5
Love this twine but don't know what to make with it
4
Grandchildren seemed to love.
5
love the colors... very nice stones
5
I received the newer version of this set....click on item to see view of that. It was perfect.
5
Second rate, yet affordable watercolor paper for those "everyday exercises."

These are great for keeping your hanging earrings from falling out. I've lost way too many nice earrings this way. These are a very soft rubber and go on easy. Some backs are very tight and can bend earrings as you try to put them on. These are much softer and easy to manipulate.
4
Rec'd my item super fast. i was very surprised. as always Sizzix is classic with all there dies. This one is going to make this style of card a breeze for me instead of measuring and cutting and blah, blah, blah..... i can trim on piece of card stock and lay it on my die and roll her through. Voi'la. done. only trimming i need to do is my accent colors to make my project a 'one of a kind' for someone very special. Thank you.
5
I used this for Bible Journaling. It worked well.
5
I was disappointed in the largest die as it didn't cut through all the tiny dashes around the square. I used a dryer sheet and ran it through on the sweet" spot on my Spellbinder machine but nothing helped. The next one in size is perfect though. Haven't tried the other two but expect them to work well. I'm very pleased with the S4-318 Fleur de Lis squares so would recommend that over the Captivating squares.
3
My husband wears this on a hat and loves it. It is well made.
5
works great for my decoupage project, just what i looking for
5
Okay, I do have other small embroidery scissors which work as well as these, but they aren't nearly so pretty.
5
Great watercolor brush.
5
It has a better magnifying then the ones with adhesive .
4
These are wired fingers to hold small objects. This will not hold rectangle items since the plastic alligator tips and don't have good griping power. So if you don't want to get your fingers full of paint, or need to hold small objects then this is for you.

I absolutely adore Cretacolor products. Another set of various Cretacolor drawing products had two Monolith pencils included in it. I found them to be a dream to draw with and loved the results so I decided to buy this set. The paper I use with them are Strathmore Drawing and Sketch 400 Series as well as Rising Stonehenge. They have a great tooth for working with these pencils. I love the effects I can get with the watercolor pencil and am anxious to buy more of those. Having such a nice looking pencil extender is a real plus. I love pencil extenders to get as much use from my pencils as possible. Because these are woodless pencils I can shave or file them down when they're too short to use even with the extender to make graphite powder.
5
Great product for the money, heavier than expected ,works great for using a rotary cutter
5
love this product for t-shirt quilts
5
Performs as expected. The quality of we are memory keepers keeps me coming back.
5
The Germans know about making quality products. These are quality sewing machine needles, not chintzy Chinese made trash! I always buy Schmetz.
5
These are super cute stamps and worth every penny. I love the birthday hats on the Happy Birthday sentiment.
5
useful and durable..
5
great for my sequin card projects
5
the product is good, but the applicator is very narrow and the product is very difficult to squeeze out of the tube.
4
What can one say about wire. Looks of good quality.
5
This is awesome for gluing tiny embellishments!
5
This one is adorable. The colors are beautiful, it paints up easy and is very rewarding to see the Chickadees come alive in their surroundings. Very pretty painting and very satisfying to work it.
4
This mat is really worth having for those projects that go beyond your 12x12 needs. The tack is a little less than the normal mat so no "de-tacking" required.
5
I really like the different shapes. I like using clear stamps but I have so many different size ones and this pack really helps me get the best grip when using them.
5
I was sent a double order by mistake but I will keep the extra for a gift later this year. I will no longer have to barrow a blender at our next crafting session. I am very pleased.
5
love the effect it gives
5
Easy to use just hook up to your computer and I like all you have to do to make sure you have the right settings is to turn one dial.
5
Great markers! We used them with a color your own tote. They didn't bleed and were very vibrant. So happy with how my project turned out. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B017JDN94O/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1452555687&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=Color+your+own+tote&dpPl=1&dpID=61ID75z70oL&ref=plSrch

Susan Bates crochet hooks are the absolute best. It was nice to be able to order a set of these without wasting time and gasoline. The other primary US brand works OK, but I like how the tip of the Susan Bates hooks functions.
5
nice set of stamps,clear crisp design. Used a lot for Christmas cards. Would order again.
5
Works well for cp soap. I make 41.25 Oz of soap. Approximately 8 pieces cut. Depending on recipe, unmolds easily without warping soap. Plastic liner stains, but that's only cosmetic. I can recommend.
4
They are beads, as described. Very pretty. Can't go wrong if what you're looking for is...beads.

The CrazyEve Leather crafting tools are great. I'm not a professional leather crafter but I think these will work just fine for me. It will make leather stitching a lot easier and it will look way more professional and clean. Just don't drop them because they are easily broken. Item shipped quickly and arrived with a few other products. All stitching chisels were wrapped together in a small cardboard box with plastic wrap. I did not take a picture of the box since I was excited about getting them and went right at it. These are not professional chisels by any means, they are however made decently and appear that they will get the job done. This leather lacing sticking perforators work so wonderfully! They are evenly spaced and I love the addition to my crafting tools! I received this product at a discounted price for my unbiased review of the product. I will be buying more products from Crazyeve in the future.
5
Great variety, good quality! Great for the crafts I do. Love this item.!
5
Good size to have around
5
Great colors! Great value buying in a set. The iridescent colors work great on dark fabric! Blending colors is also a fun experiment.
5
Indispensable for drawing pencils and charcoals. Well made.
5
i use this to store all my water color paints and brushes love it
5
Love it for microwave bowls!
5
It's okay but I think it's a bit on the small size. I don't like all the compartments, but some artists might.
3
I use this as my sewing kit. I had an old big box plastic one where the hinges broke. I tried forever replacing it and couldn't find something as large as I wanted. This does the job.
5
GREAT!!! I collect "OLD buttons" in the "OLD BLUE MASON JARS"> They are so hard to find these days & cost WAY TOO much. I'm purchasing SEVERAL PKGS of many different buttons, putting them all in a HUGE bowl. mix them up & putting the NEW buttons in CLEAR mason jars decorated w/lace & all kids of things!!!
5
This yarn is beautiful and very soft. This particular color -- HONEY -- is especially nice. It just looks so rich. Highly recommend.
5
My machine loves this thread! I just wish I could buy singles of a color when one runs out. Beautiful colors!!
5
This a beautiful brush. I don't normally buy short handle brushes, but I got this one on a warehouse deal for a great price so I though I would give it a try. I've ended up using it much more than I thought that I would and I really love it -
5
This thing is crap!!! Just taking it out of the bag, it's in 5 pieces!! Don't waste your money!!

 Love these! The colors in this Pastel Set are just beautiful. Sharpie WATER-based Paint Markers are my favorite pen for writing/doodling on kraft paper and dark surfaces. I love how smoothly the opaque ink flows. I do like Sakura Moonlight Gel Pens as well, for drawing on black paper. But I always reach for Sharpies first. The Sharpie Paint (once it's been primed) just flows more dependably and predictably; and the color jumps off the paper more intensely. They also work much better on textured surfaces, such as a painted background or the cover of books. I've even used them on my nails, I'm not sure I've found any surface that they have not worked on! What's not to love about the Sharpie Paint Pen? I've edited this video to meet Amazon's 100mb limit, but the full version shows several types of Sharpie WATER-based Paint Markers: Pastel with metal tips, the shorter Poster Paint colors with the felt tip, Metallic and Glitter with metal or plastic tips ... all of which are water-based. If you are careful to prime the marker correctly before the first use, I'm sure you will fall in love with them too! I thought I knew how to do that, until I purchased this set, and ran into more difficulty than I expected. I had less trouble with the shorter, fatter Sharpie Water-based Paint Pens Sharpie Extra Fine Point Poster Paint Marker-White , Pack of 12, that I had previously purchased individually (they had more of a felt tip). I've posted a video on that listing, showing the the felt tip sharpie paint in action. I messed up a little on the first (peach-colored) pen that I tried to use from this set; which made me go back and actually READ THE DIRECTIONS! Doh! A few crucial points I want to share with you, to make sure you don't write them off prematurely: 1. Before ever shaking or trying to "prime" the pen to get the ink flowing, you MUST hold the pen pointing UP, and depress the nib once or twice. This lets air into the chamber, so that shaking the pen can actually accomplish something. 2. This pastel set is EXTRA-Fine Point - which is good! Be warned that Fine Point Sharpie Paint Markers are not anywhere near what I consider "Fine Point." What you see in this clip, and in my other videos are EXTRA Fine Point. I had to edit a lot out of the video, to fit Amazon limitations, but if you notice two white dots near each-other in the demo: that is the difference between the EXTRA fine point and the fine point size. (If you want to watch the full length video in HD, you can find it on my blog). 3. Sharpie Water-based Paint Markers have a blue band toward the end. Oil-based paint markers have a bright pink band. If you don't see a colored band at all or the pen is called a "Poster Paint Pen" - it is a water-based paint pen. 4. The only time I use Oil-Based Sharpie Pen (Pink Band), is when I'm decorating garden art or something that is going to be exposed to the elements. I find that the oil based are a little bit "goopy-er" and the pen possibly dry out more quickly. I have yet to have a Sharpie Water-Based Paint Pen dry up on me. I use the white and black felt tipped ones A LOT, so I have run them out of ink in a few months. The colored pens, I use less often, and they have stayed fresh for over a year now. I store mine horizontally in a zippered pouch. 5. The shorter, fatter Sharpie Paint Markers, have the felt tip that I prefer. I find them easier to get started, and the tip feels sturdier. However, they do sometimes feel a bit scratchy, and can leave tiny speckles when drawing curves. I still prefer them to the metal or plastic tips. I believe the short fat markers are always water-based. They are sometimes called Sharpie Poster Paints - I can not tell any difference between them and regular sharpie water-based. Maybe it refers to the bright primary paint colors? 6. The skinnier paint pens, like the ones in this Pastel Set, can be hard to tell apart from the Oil-based. If you want water-based (like this set), make sure they have the blue band at the end of the pen. (I think of a clear pool of BLUE WATER, to remind myself). I've found that the skinnier pens have the metal, or hard plastic tip. They work great, but can be a little trickier to get started than the squattier felt-style tip. The metal tips seem to take more shaking and pressing to get started. Patience is the key to get these fantastic paint pens working properly. You only have to prime them once, so take your time, do it right and you won't regret it! I hope this review and my video help clear up any confusion about these cool paint markers!

This diamond punch is my favorite punch. I absolutely love EK Tools punches. I'm making my personal mission to own everyone of them that are available. I currently own 20 of them and can't get enough of them. They are true to size and description and compact which is a necessity with the limited space I currently have. These are a must have for anyone that does crafts and save so much time!
