There are so many mixes I like!! I love using all the different colors of microbeads Pennywise Arts has, lol.

What do you mean when you say you put the beads INSIDE the pens? Sorry if this seems like a "der" question!! :confused:

Thanks for these directions. I love all the tips I found in here. Someone made one of these for me and I couldn't figure it out until now. thanks

These are fantastic - I have started my shopping basket at Pennywise and just have a couple of questions -

O'So sticky tape/paper etc - I notice the paper is out of stock on the larger sheets is it "worth" the extra cost?

I would order the Tonic scissors but these are also out of stock :lol:...

Would the rubber sheets work in say I die cutting situation? or should I go for the paper.

Thanks for any suggestions - this thread has been really fantastic for ideas -

I don't know what the rubber sheets are. I buy my tacky sheets from Oriental Trading Company, you get 3 sheets for like 5$ something. I don't know if they would work with a die cutting machine, I haven't tried that one yet.

Sorry - on the Pennywise site they said the reddish tape backing was rubber and also had the option of the paper backed.

I have never used the rubber back ones. I used the paper backed ones.

Yes!! The paperbacked O'So Sticky will work in most all die cut machines. The red backed will not. It is definitely worth the extra $$ if you think you want to die cut shapes. You can also use it in punches depending on how detailed the image is. :-P I can usually get 10-20 punched images before I need to clean my punch with Goo Gone. Then I punch a bit of scrap paper and I'm good to go again.

I just wanted to let you guys know that if you have a Dollar Tree (the best!) or another dollar store, you can get the same exact pens for so much cheaper. I bought a 4 pack of RSVP pens at the Dollar Tree for $1!
