Di Di's Reviews

Darling Ollie the Bear is probably 31/2" tall when assembled. I love all of his accessories. You can make him in a lot of different ways and look at the cute little bear toes! So fun.

I purchased several sheets of Ocean Waves paper to include in my granddaughter’s album. The paper is thick enough to make album/journal pages and the pattern design is art by itself. The ocean side is beautiful and the other side is wonderful mermaid scales. I’m very happy with the paper, but it will be difficult to cover it up with photos.

These extra-large envelopes can keep dies and stamps together and safely in place. Although the flap closure only tucks into the envelope for the closure, it does stay there. With other envelopes that I’ve used, the flap slipped open easily.
Also, these envelopes are sturdy and should last as long as needed.

This frame set is a great width to add dimension or frame a scene. They are very good quality and I appreciate that they are packaged on a magnetic sheet.

This adorable little snowman just needs a little color added to his hat and scarf to really make him pop. He can embellish a tag quickly and would also be darling on a card.

The Waffle Flower circle frames are so much easier to use than trying to evenly position two dies to cut your frame. These frames cut well. It was a great purchase.

Thanks to Waffle Flower for packaging the nested dies on a magnetic sheet. It’s really helpful.

The artwork is true to the book and the stickers are good quality. They'd be a great addition to an album design.

The Where the Wild Things Are Collection is wonderful quality and the art is the same as the book it is named for. There are a few gold accents, but is not overdone. It's a must-have for lovers of the book.

I purchased this darling “Wild Things” paper to make an album for my grandchildren. It is great quality and has a lot of detail. Combined with the stickers and ephemera the options are limitless.

This paper pack has a nice range of patterned blue designs in two weights. It’s helpful to be able to choose the paper thickness according to your project. I’m so happy to finally have this paper.

The Mason Jar Kit is a lot of fun to work with and it's so versatile. Cut the flap with the ring holes off and use it to make a card. Turn it upside down and make a snow globe. Create a winter scene with the penguins, trees, and snowflakes or "fill" the far with goodies. You can even create a Mason Jar journal.

There is a lot packed in this set for the price.

I was gifted the Waffle Flower Half-Half Dots paper in Christmas colors and am so happy with it. It's a heavier paper than most patterned paper (80 lbs) and die cuts beautifully. Being slightly heavier, it doesn't bend or wrinkle as easily as most patterned paper.
It is long enough to cut into 2 A2 card backgrounds or tall enough for a slimline card if you want the color split in the middle.
I will purchase more in the future.

This planner die creates a nice texture for your planner or can be cut down for a card background. The line of birds adds a lot of interest to a project too.

These stamp nice crisp lines and the larger stamps fit just within the rectangular outline stamp. They are a fun, yet more mature, Halloween set.

These dies cut very nicely and can be used to make filler in a bouquet or accent behind a photo.

The Elizabeth Craft Designs ginkgo leaves can add a beautiful soft texture to a project. I’ve die cut them from watercolor paper and then watercolored the dies for beautiful foliage.

I’ve wanted these Pinkfresh Studio dies for awhile and am happy to finally have them. The sentiments are large with a masculine handwritten style. They will look great on cards for men or women.

What a fun “natural” twist to frames! These cut beautifully and create unique frames. I made some with metal paper for an autumn bling twist on nature.
High quality, as expected, from Penny Black products.

This is one of my favorite stamps (and I have a lot). It’s beautiful colored in or left simple, like stamped in black on a kraft card.

The sunflower mandala is so pretty that I now have both the 12" and 6" stencils. It's good quality and has a lot of open space without causing it to be flimsy. It creates a beautiful pattern using spray ink, with paste or using a stenciling tool.

The Mermaid Sparkle Acrylic Paint has a stunning shimmer and gorgeous turquoise-green color. It was a great impulse buy!

I've only used my new 12" Lush Petals stencil with paint on a gel plate. It makes a gorgeous pattern with fine lines. Using inks and a stencil brush should create a slightly thicker pattern and equally elegant. Can't wait to try it other ways, too.

The Tree of Life stamp & die can provide unique, larger-than-usual, creations. The 5.25"x5.25" stamp looks wonderful on a square card, but without cutting it, it's too large for an A2 card.
It stamps and cuts beautifully.

For the price, the Dazzle Caddy gives secure and convenient storage of small bottles like Stickles or alcohol ink. The lid isn't too tight, but fits tight enough to keep the bottles in place for transporting.
The lid will NOT fit on the Caddy if the bottles are upright and multiple containers cannot be stacked. This works fine for me since I have exactly one full caddy. Also, I like that the Stickies can be stored upside down as shown.

MME papers are my favorite. I like this one so much that I bought it again. Nice patterns that don't overwhelm a scrapbook page.

This star set comes in a great variety of sizes and the optional stitching detail adds a lot of options.

The Colorbox Stephanie Barnard ink pads are fantastic. They are very juicy inkpads that create full crisp lines.
Wish I had them all!
