  3. nothings been finalized so we did go over the cliff. not surprized. i expected it.

    ReplyDelete
  4. The real question is...
    Will PTI go over the cliff?

    ReplyDelete
  5. oh sorry to see you are back. was hoping for much more drama here

    ReplyDelete
  6. is there a reason why the owner of this blog cannot pre schedule a few posts? seriously, don't set something up and then just abandon it. it is rude

    ReplyDelete
  7. I agree with the last poster. It takes 30 seconds to do for the entire year.

  8. 10:29 PTI will NOT go over the cliff. Sorry to disappoint you.

  9. Happy New Year!
    Thank you for the new page. I thought this blog was toast.

  10. Just like they were suppose to close in October. They are doing fine. I believe people went to the greener pasture and now they are returning.

    I tried to substitute similar products but ended up buying at PTI in the end. It ijust ended up costing more trying a different product first. So now if there is something that strikes me in their release, I buy it.

  11. I got a Cameo for Christmas and I remember people here sharing what settings they used for cutting PTI and Stampin Up cardstock. I just spent forever searching through this blog but could not find it. Would you guys mind sharing again?

  12. 13:58

    I don't owe it to anyone to keep this blog running but i do what i can.. why do you feel so entitled...???

    ReplyDelete
  13. Why not simply take 30 seconds and deal once a year with the issue?

    ReplyDelete
  14. ^^^ ironic. You are virtually a guest here and you are arguing with the hostess...

    ReplyDelete
  15. ^^^OK, then. Throw pragmatism out the window. Sheesh.

  16. The whining about new space is so annoying.

    Start your own blog and update the hell out of it if it's that important to you. Most of us aren't too lazy to scroll.

  17. PTI's cardstock is my own personal Brokeback Mountain:

    I just can't quit it!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. start your own fucking blog if it's such a bother to you that the blog owners doesn't cater to your needs.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I never could figure out why people don't do the logical thing and then berate those who suggest logic might be easier than defensiveness and dropping the ball.

    ReplyDelete
  20. for 22.20
    Try the Bazzill Shoppe cardstock - really nice weight - colours are comprehensive and compare well to PTi - actually some colours are little more vibrant than PTI and IMO look nicer.

    So do the logical thing start your own blog. I wont' miss your constant bitching about scrolling and new posts. Quit your fucking whining already. It's not that hard to scroll, you lazy idiot.

  23. Cameo settings - use the Heavier/Textured CS setting BUT slow down the cutting speed if there are sharp corners or its an intricate design. Double Cut is also a good idea (unless your cutting 100's of intricate designs, then it takes FOREVER).

    Having more than one cutting mat is key if you cut multiples of the same page. While ones in the machine, you're removing the pieces off the first mat. ENJOY!!

    ReplyDelete
  24. Oh good idea about the two mats

    ReplyDelete
  25. And you can use the Cricut mats which are way cheaper. Just trim them to the same size as the Silhouette ones. I prefer them because they are sturdier than the clear silhouette ones plus I can use a coupon at M's.

  26. Eek! Paper smooches releasing dies... Love the 2 I've seen already! Loopy leaf and a tag! If they could get paper, I'd be in love!

    ReplyDelete
  27. 1424. Are the Cricut mats thicker? Do you need to make adjustments?

    Anyone else think the rhinestones with the Cameo is corny? I watched the video and not my thing.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Is there another store that sells paper smooches stamps with a discount?

    ReplyDelete
  29. Ordered from IMpress Dec. 26 and found out today that they still have not shipped my order. ARGGGGGH!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Ordered from PTI Dec 26 and package will be delivered on the 4th. Shocked and happy!

    ReplyDelete
  31. re Impress. they are always slow when they have a sale. and sometimes when no sale.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Ordered from Impress yesterday and it is already at the PO.

    Ordered from PTI the weekend before Christmas and got it three days after Christmas. Pleasantly surprised.

    Agree with the previous poster about Bazil's cardmaker's cardstock.

    Has anyone seen Miss T's card on Damask Love today? She uses PTI ink and it looks awful! http://www.damasklove.com/substitute-teacher-taheerah-atchia/

    ReplyDelete
  33. I think the ink dried up before she stamped the images on the paper. I don't get that yucky effect when I use PTI ink pads.

    ReplyDelete
  34. That is typical kissing technique. It removes some ink in the process. I think it looks great!

    ReplyDelete
  35. 18:54 must be a lot of fun at parties. "It would have been more logical to put all the potato chips out at once rather than refilling the bowl as it empties out."

    Isn't it logical to save your breath and just POST A COMMENT rather than complaining about the lack of new space.

    Dummy.

  36. I got the sampler pack of paper from MFT and it seems good. It seems fairly close to the weight of the PTI paper, and the finish is smooth.

    ReplyDelete
  37. Have you seen the outrageous prices on the new Hero Arts Dies (you can see at Ellen Hutson)? What are they thinking. $16 for single dies???? They think we are total suckers.

    ReplyDelete
  38. How does the "Nightshift Blue" from MFT compare to Enchanted Evening from PTI. I once loved EE, but now, I want a darker blue, more navy.

    ReplyDelete
  39. I get they are in it for the money, but there should be some sort of law against a 400% profit on an item.

    ReplyDelete
  40. it's called capitalism

    ReplyDelete
  41. Just got a bunch of dies - memory box, MFT an wplus9- at great prices from Ellen Hutson. 25-40% off! And she ships out really fast...

    ReplyDelete
  42. Is there a code needed for Ellen Hutson's sale or is the sale over? Dies are listed as regular price.

    ReplyDelete
  43. The dies are in the overstock sale section

    ReplyDelete
  44. Thank you but I will have to pass on this one. It's all just Christmas stuff. :(

    ReplyDelete
  45. Nope I got a ton of memory box dies...not all Christmas

    ReplyDelete
  46. The ones left in the overstock section are Christmas dies. She has other dies on stock they're just not on sale.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Does it seem to you that MFT has a huge release every couple of weeks?

    ReplyDelete
  48. All I saw on sale were Christmas dies.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Ok let me spell it out for you
    Go to overstock sale and click. A list of manufacturers will come up under that heading. Click memory box and the poppy stamps
    I got branches, birds, butterflies, windows ( the arched ones) and flourishes. None of them Christmas and all on sale.

    ReplyDelete
  50. ^^thanks! Still no order for me because the selections are meh :( maybe next time?

    ReplyDelete
  51. These stamps and dies fascinate me:

    Has anyone tried them?

    ReplyDelete
  52. I find Hero Arts to be overpriced anyways.

    Speaking of, does anyone else think that the background map stamp in the PTI sneak peeks is expensive at $15? I totally forgot about the peeks but it showed up in my Google Reader.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I LOVE that map. I may have to break my 19 month run of not ordering.

    ReplyDelete
  54. I would not pay $15 for a background stamp at PTI unless it is 4x6 or larger.

    ReplyDelete
  55. NH mentioned that the background stamp is large.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Yeah ... That damn world map stamp is screaming my name too. A lot for one stamp but more practical for those who travel outside the US.

  58. On Sunday nights Erin Jaimes hosts a blues jam where anyone from Alan Haynes to Gary
    Clark, Jr. Local country clubs are offering trivia fun
    for as little as forty dollars per couple. The decline of the East side blues scene was disheartening, but, it also gave
    rise to the need for a fresh start, which came in the form of the next blues-only venue, Antone's, founded by the late Clifford Antone, during the summer of 1975.

    Below are listed a few popular pubs where one can chill in Mumbai.
    They feature almost nightly drink specials and some form of entertainment

  60. In that case, this kind of question should not be taken
    from any show telecasted in specific country. *Rounds table format.
    The food is decent and the drink specials on Tuesdays include $2.

  61. So you are looking to rid your girl of these unwanted stalkers when you are
    drawn to Willow Creek's Black Mirror Castle. At the end of the party all of the papers write down who they think was the prohibition agent. I hope you have fun planing a birthday party for your tween, I hope my birthday party ideas for tween's helped you.
