Revainrating 1 out of 5

Frustrating and flimsy

Very disappointed with this. The plastic is flimsy. I was hoping it would be stronger would be than an embossing stamp, similar to thick plastic. So I never managed to get the effect of the video. I got ink in places I didn't want ink in. Luckily I was just practicing and not in a real one Project worked. Don't waste your money.

Pros
  • Shadow Press Station measures 8 1/4" x 2 1/2" x 1/8"
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

A very thin plastic strip with a hole that just doesn't work. I watched the videos over and over again but always ended up with ink and wasted paper everywhere. I ended up making the same "station" out of a piece of cardboard and got great results. Having said that, I have to say that Tim Holtz is really brilliant at getting people to believe that his latest "thing" is the invention of the century. If only he were as good a designer as he was a businessman.

Pros
  • Slide Shadow Press Station over Shadow Press die and flip to add color
Cons
  • Available in black only
