Yay! I'm so glad you found it helpful :) It's definitely a mindset change to think about how you feel now versus how you felt when you bought it and accept that difficult feeling that it doesn't have a place in your life anymore. I found Marie Kondo's book really useful for that - you can 'thank' the item for the joy it gave you at the time and then it can move on to someone else :)

Oh that's good to hear, thank you! :)

Thank you! Haha yes it's a tricky one - 'journaling' is dominant online but I feel like I would naturally write 'journalling' like 'traveling' (US) vs 'travelling' (UK).

I’m afraid we never got round to part two!

Regular card Z fold :)

Fair point - I did just colour them in a straightforward way, no particular method used so nothing to add. I am sure you’ll find some other KZbin vids out there with more info on shading and layering colours. I suppose I added it more as a reminder that you can use coloured pencils with stamps as many people default to just markers.

Thank you! The foam definitely makes a difference :)

Oh that's a great idea! If you try it I would love to see how it comes out. We have a Sweet Pastels range available if you want to accessorise with papers and embellishments :) www.stickerkitten.co.uk/product-category/product-range/sweet-pastels/

Hi Alana, I've done both before - if it looks ok white I leave it, but if it looks a bit messy for whatever reason I cover it with a circle of patterned paper. Either is fine - whichever suits your project :) Sarah

Haha I know, it's a beast isn't it :p Thank you ^_^ x

Hi Mia, it's made by Docrafts - the brand is Xcut. You should be able to find it in most craft stores that sell die cutting machines. In the UK you can get it from The Range or Hobbycraft. If you're not in the UK you might be able to find it online but I'm not sure where would be the best place to look - Amazon may have it in stock. Best wishes, Sarah

HI SARAH,THANK YOU VERY MUCH! I DID GO ON EVERY SITE I KNOW, BUT FROM UK NOBODY WON'T SHIP IT OVER SEA TO NORTH AMERICA. I'LL KIP LOOKING SPECIALY I LIKE TO TRY USE IT FOR COLAGRAPH, LINO AND INTALIO AS I HAVE SEEN THAT PEOPLE DO. I KNOW THAT XCUT MADE BIGER PLATE AND FELTH TOO.

Thank you! :)

Hi Linde, I would make sure to put the foam pad between the layers of the kaftan so that the ink or paint does not seep through. You would have to work in sections and be careful to let the ink or paint dry before moving on to another part of the kaftan to avoid smudging. You could try using a heat tool to dry the area before moving on - but I haven't tried that myself so it may work differently depending on what you are stamping with (ink or paint). Good luck! And thanks for your kind comments :)

Thanks! :)

Looking for alphabet dies

Hi Dambar, I bought my plain tea towels along with the kit so I'm not sure exactly what type of fabric they are - but probably plain cotton or linen would be best to use.

Hi Suzy, the machine is designed so that you don't have to use shims but if you find that they help then absolutely go for it! I've found that mine has been pretty sturdy and lets me run things through that feel quite stiff but if you prefer not to do that you could also try running it through on a couple of rotations to get a cut all the way through x
