You have always been a part of the heist. You're only mad now because you don't like your cut.

Have you seen it? At first I was skeptical; I really don't like the fact that they seem to be moving away from including paper collections. But then I watched the video and wowza. The colors are really pretty, and the alcohol lift inks look like they'll be fun to play with.
Have you seen the kit? What do you think?

I like the kit. I'm not really into the kits because I usually have most of the things in the kit, with the exception of the stamps. I do love that floral stamp. I was surprised to find it so soon on AliExpress. I can't wait until it gets here!

I ordered it. I like trying new techniques and I've been wanting to try foiling and alcohol inks. With the included "lift" ink pad and Yupo paper, it was a go for me. The stamp set is the bonus for me.
Plus I had a gift card which makes it even better.

I like it! I don’t have the Lift ink yet, love the stamp, looking forward to playing with the foil!

I don’t order many kits but I ordered this one. I liked the stamp and I didn’t have the lift ink, those colors of alcohol ink, or much foil. I liked what Yana Smakula did with it. She diluted the Stream colored ink before she did the lift. It was not so bright. Sometimes alcohol ink stuff is a little loud for my taste. Anyway I thought it was a pretty good deal for the price.

I quite like the stamp, but I'm not sure I want to dive into a new technique with a bunch of new supplies to buy (because of course there's always more). I appreciate that these kits are a fun way to get a start into new techniques at a reasonable price, but I think I will pass. I can go back and get the stamp later if I decide I really need another floral.
Interestingly both videos I found showed what happens when you use the lift ink without cleaning your stamp reeeeaaaaalllly well. Both had some black transfer, although in one case they were able to buff out the black. It was a good warning though.
I just got the email about the Halloween kit too. Tempting, but the price point put me off.
(And also I still haven't had a shipping notice for the Stamptember sets I bought a week ago. Geez.)

Interesting about ink transfer. Makes sense. I missed those videos so I would have learned that the hard way.
The Halloween kit wasn’t tempting because I wouldn’t use much of the extra stuff. I don’t usually want to pay that much for a kit anyway.

I quite like the look of the kit but can’t afford anything else craft related this month. Don’t celebrate Halloween so not interested in that kit either.

I think the stamp is lovely but I don’t wAnt to go down another rabbit hole with alcohol ink and foiling. I might get the stamp when they have a coupon.

I know what you mean about getting into a whole new technique pilcas. Suddenly so many additional supplies you didn’t know you ‘needed’! |
