Buyer Warning!

I bought this "set" to make homemade postcards to send to friends during quarantine and social distancing. It doesn't include everything you need to create maps. There are "transparent stamps" - but they're rubber, they don't keep their shape and there's no way to keep them. Even if they could be held, there is no ink. Metal stamps cannot be used - they require additional equipment. The website they send you to for advice is just a business. The tutorials are a joke and don't provide instructions (or "inspiration!", as written on the box) to use the items. There are several pieces of tape and a piece of paper with a seal, but there are no templates, no way to cut or shape them. I figured I could use the blank cards and come up with something of my own as that was the purpose of buying the kit anyway. There are three envelopes containing cards with the SAME inscriptions: blank cards and envelopes. I opened one up and used the materials I had at home to make postcards. I opened the second envelope and the cards were perforated. The "cards" in the third envelope are not cards at all. They have a "base" and two sides. When folded, the sides do not converge in the middle, they just leave a huge gap - and they don't make a box. It's a completely different sleeve. Unfortunately I used the first card sleeve and now I can't return the product. Perhaps an experienced handyman with extra supplies could use this, but I couldn't.

Pros
  • High marks for hold and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as other options
