I just discovered these paper pads by Craft Smith at Michaels last night, it's a CRAZY price... regular $29.99, on sale for $7.50 PLUS today only from 7 am till noon there is an additional 25% off sale price coupon in Canada, not the U.S.

The Craft Smith Blog - Craft Smith

You can't pass this paper up, go go go! :lol: I wish I could have bought one of everything, but the gradients pad was a must! Beautiful pastel ombre colors.

I know Joann.com was mentioned above. I just started checking it out. Fiskars cutting items, (trimmers, scissors) including some punches are 60% off. Shipping is $1.99, and over $50 ship free. I see the words "Papercrafting 50% off" so it may be everything!?

I was in the store this morning and was surprised that it is just about everything. Stamps, stamping supplies, paper, stickers, etc....I think that the dies were only 40% and I am not sure if the embossing folders were included as there was no sign.

I haven't either! I don't know whether to order or not! I think I'm going to bite the bullet and give it a whirl. Lord knows I can barely stamp straight as it is so maybe a flawed stamp won't matter to me! haha

Thank you!!
I use my BigShot almost daily and I can tell the gears are wearing out again. 52.99 is the best price I have seen for the BigShot! I have ordered it so it will be ready to go when my present one craps out. Thank you so much for sharing!!

I was lucky enough to receive a gift certificate for Impression Obsession and was wondering if you received your seconds yet. How were they? Was the stamped image affected?

I would love to stretch my gift dollars by picking up a few seconds.

Thanks!

I ordered six IO Background Flawed Seconds Stamps last month and here are my observations:
  1. On two of the stamps, there is visible damage to a small portion of the stamp so that bit won't stamp smoothly, if at all. They were located on the corner or border of the stamps.
  2. On two of the stamps, there are a couple of small hairline cracks on the rubber of both the raised and flat part of the stamp so that the image won't stamp smoothly but you'd have to really look for it.
  3. On three of the stamps, the flat part is not smooth and there are some little nubbins but they do not affect the stamped image.

Overall, I think they are a really good deal and here are my conclusions for the above three observations:
  1. If you only make cards that don't require the entire stamped image, you can just position your paper over an undamaged part of the background stamp.
  2. If you are not worried that you will have some really small hairline flaws on your stamped image, you will be fine. You could get these kinds of flaws just due to lint/hair on the stamp or an uneven stamp pad/surface.
  3. This is purely aesthetic and for the price, I do not care one bit about the flat part of the stamp having any flaws on it.

I hope this helps you make a more informed decision on how to use your gift card! Have fun with all the goodies you get with it!

Thanks for the response! Sounds great!

The hairline flaws should be okay -- especially for designs that are distressed to begin with -- it will just seem like part of the intended design.

I rarely make 6 x 6 cards, so an image that is only flawed on the edges or corner shouldn't be a problem. Most of my cards are 5 x 5, A2 or smaller.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I can't wait to spend my holiday IO $$$'s on some new stamps and dies : )
