I will definitely be buying the Alcohol Lift It ink pad and reinker.
He was hinting at another video the beginning of next month, saying that they were getting ready for christmas but not as to the product he would be showcasing. Could this be the new distress oxides? Christmas in July!

Used my photo printer last week and it was fine, now it is printing everything with a GREEN tinge. Would anyone know what the problem is? Googled it but couldn't find the answer.

A stash of muted or pastel, thin 12x12 paper for making envelops. Anyone know a source?

Still got a stash of mulberry paper, still use my glass mat, perfect layers set and my colorblocking templates. Heck, I still have a stash of Rebecca Sowers, chatterbox, MAMBI stickers, and page toppers. If I hold on to them long enough they will become vintage and be back in style again , right?

We had very little money for craft supplies but I did make cards for my mom. I used what I could find around the house. I cut up lots of magazines and made collages. I remember begging my mom to go into the stationary store and would just drool over the papers and cards. Maybe that’s why I hoard rather than use my stash. I just love pretty paper!

We’re crafty people, right? Print and color one or print a color one, fussy cut and use. Remember, we’re crafty people. Actually I bought a small pad on clearance at Mikes and plan to try fussy cutting the llamas out. If that doesnt work then its print, color and cut time. The things we do for our kids!

Just spied a 6x6 paper pad Love Nicole which is ACM brand for over $9.00. So not everything is cheaper on AX.

Help! I need a llama stamp fast! Does anyone know if any of the big box craft stores is carrying on right now? DD asked me to make a shaker llama card asap! I’ve never made a shaker card, nor do I own a llama stamp.

I know he said the last 2 sets would be out this year. 1 for summer and 1 around Christmas, but no color list exists that I know of. I'm sure I'll buy them because I like to have full sets and I love the oxides. I wish he'd add white to this collection Yes I would definitely buy a white pad.

I saw on an add there is a Tim Holtz Clip it Up thingy for only 9.99... I could use another one!! It looks smaller than the original Clippy thing.. but yeah.. looks doable to me. My store sold out of the clip it up real fast.

Has anyone heard anything about which colors are to be in the summer release he mentioned back at Creativation. I’m not sure I want to buy any more, Im happy with the colors from the first two collections.

Just wanted to pass on something that the store manager told me today. ALL TM will not be getting a shipment NEXT week. She said it happens twice a year (the other is in Feb.). Thought I’d give everyone a heads up if you’re a weekly browser like me.

I have found it hard to get back into scrapping too. After reacquainting myself with my stash I decided to focus on learning some new techniques. That lead to making a mixed media/ smashbook hybrid. I just play with pictures from books and magazines paired with paper and photos that I love or remind me of something. Then I write about it. Ex: raindrop paper inspired me to write about childhood memories of playing in the rain, my love of thunderstorms and memories of some major floods in our community. My family might not get family albums but they will get to know ME better.

So how long ago did you order? And what are the larger circles on the right?? They were all ordered around the 24 April, so about three weeks ago. The group of round tags on the right are MFT 998 - Tag Builder Blueprint 6. You can find them at - s.aliexpress.com/via6ZjEZI ordered the circle wreath die on 4/29 and received it 5/12. I’ve received orders in as little as nine days recently. I wish that was the norm but for low prices and no shipping fees I won’t complain.

Coupon today! This was my Mother's Day gift to me. I have almost all of the Studio 71 alcohol markers but there are gaps in their collection. The Blick markers blend well with the Studio 71 so I picked up several in oranges and purples plus a few gelatos and Pitt markers. I got the discount plus the discount for purchasing 6+. Thanks everyone.

I'm in a couple of FB non-branded die and stamp groups. From what I've read, it appears that the Ai-Express/Wish stamps and dies are more often than not, almost always (how's that for a qualifier?) smaller than the original branded dies. I'd be tempted to try the dies from AE or Wish if that are cheap enough. I will also add that I love my Scan N Cut 2. I love how it cuts out my rubber stamps designs. There's something so pleasing about watching the image being cut out and no need for matching dies. Sometimes it the little pleasures in life that make me happy. LOL I agree that AX sets do seem to be a bit smaller than the branded sets.

How are you linking from an ipad? Are you using the AX app or website? I cant seem to get links to work.

I’ve bought a few stamp sets with matching dies and they all worked fine. I wouldn’t risk buying dies for stamps I bought elsewhere for fear they wouldn’t be the same size..

Lace stamp set
I ordered a stamp on 5/2 and received it on 5/9! Furthermore, it is a nice THICK material, not the usual flimsy stuff they use. The set stamped beautifully too! It was labeled Squirrel and Frog brand. It was a vintage lace set.

Omg! I hit the jackpot. Search stackable scrapbook dies. The dazzle die set is all the same size. There are others as well! Try the search layered cutting dies. I got a much larger list that way.

I looked at those (I really like the layered peony dies) -- but the new ones for $75.00 have 3 or 4 dies - the AX has only 2 dies. Does anyone understand the difference (I know that the AX dies are new and potentially no one has them as yet) - but maybe the change in the number of dies for any other layering might be known I ordered several sets which had to be purchased one piece at a time. You must check the measurements to be sure all layers are the same size. Not all stores sell the same sized dies even though the images are the same. For the peony set I made my own missing layer by scanning the ones I had. Using those and a picture of the missing die I was able to make the missing layer with my cameo. It actually worked!, and I’m a cameo novice! I see now they are selling sets containing all 3 dies. I ordered one set to see how well it cut.

A credit boost is a bundle of store credits you purchase at a reduced price. You can get $30 of credits for $20, $50 of credits for $30, $75 of credits for $40, and $100 of credits for $50. They never expire. So you’re saying it’s like buying yourself a gift card at a discounted price?

That’s a lot of table for the price! Great find!

I bought them and could never figure out how to use them properly, I hated them so much and it would make me angry that I could never get the same results or love for the product that everyone seemed to. I started using distress inks for water colouring cards and was much happier with those results, however......I discovered that if rub them in a small puddle of water rather then using them directly on the paper I get a product that I love and am happy with the results. I love mine now and would recommend them but I am not a messy, inky mixed media kinda girl so for me they are just a watercolour tool. A nice watercolour set would probably achieve the same results that I am after. I’m finding I’m not the messy mixed media kinda girl either. I think gelatos will be for backgrounds for me.

Birch press style layered dies NEW. The photos they use on the site even look like the ones from Jennifer McGuire’s blog! sorry I’m having trouble posting links to them but search for cutting dies new. I just noticed that their prices dropped a dollar each since yesterday too.

I shouldn’t be surprised but 3 of these sets have just popped up on AX. They are around $8.50 for a set of 3 dies.

Those layered dies are beautiful but so expensive. I did see that Lori Whitlock now has some stacked card bases available for sale like the one below so I hope a few more designers come out with similar ideas. I need to check these out.

What is a credit boost? I’ve never subscribed, I only used a gift card.
