Smile craft stampin spots

I am trying to decide if I want to get these. I only have earth element classic spots, black classic, black craft and the watercolor crayons. I hate not to get them when they are on sale. What do you think?

Love the Craft Stampin' Spots! Great for alphabet stamping! This is a great thing for scrapbooking, embossing, etc.

I also love the craft ink for stamping on colored paper like Kraft paper....you get a true color, and it looks very rich. Plus, i like to emboss using clear powder because I always have the problem with "powder shadow".
Come on...you know you wanna get 'em! I bought 2 sets because of the sale.

I love the spots, own all four sets from SU, when I travel with my stamps to friends houses to stamp, I take the spots, they take up less room, all ya gotta do is dab onto the big stamps and they work like a charm. and ya got all your colors.

Decisions, decisions. I know I am going to have to choose - classic or craft spots?

I love mine, especially when I'm packing for a crop!!! ;) They take up way less room than my full sized pads. I also agree with the above posters, like embossing with all 48 colors. I love everything about them!

The way I look at it - if you ever wanted 1 or 2 craft inks from a color family - why spend basically the same amount for a couple of full size pads when you can get the entire family of colors for about the same price.

I love my 2 sets of craft spots!! I don't know how long it will take before I have to spend the $$$ for reinkers but for now they are nice and juicy and they are so much "brighter" than the regular pads!!

Don't the craft inks dry out and need reinking faster than the classic ink?

I went ahead and ordered all four sets. I figured to be able to get all 48 colors for close to the price of one full size set, why not. The three things that really drew me to the craft spots: Scrapbooking pages, Being able to emboss and have all matching colors, and the fact that you can stamp light colors on dark cardstock and see the color!

How long is the sale on for? I've never used the craft pads so do you just pour the embossing powder right onto the stamped image then heat?

Sale until end of this Month (november)
I would use clear embossing powder on the stamped image and emboss! Turns out so beautiful!
