does it get on anyone else's nerves that the letters aren't the right sizes?
or is it just me?

So tell us Aq....what are you making with your alphabets????

Yorkiegirl · 11/03/2006 20:43

maybe it is, but isnt that the charm of GAW?
If you need to get rid of it send it my way Grin

No AQ I find it really really annoying and sometimes when I do a card, it just doesn't look right. Also hate the sticking on of the smaller letters, am now just using the smaller. Thank God it's not just me.

Everyone raved about it, and I find it horrible. I have funky brush which is huge and not very good for smaller cards (not very childlike/funky either) So I want another one. NOW. Stamps foot like DS age 2.

i made a b/day card this morning for Caitlin so the t and l were side by side, it is wrong that the t is taller than the l. grumble mutter whinge.

thats what put me off getting it. it's nice and quirky but not something i'd want to use all the time.

I am quite happy to do a 'funky brush name for you, but if it's henrietta it needs to be an A4 card. OOOOOOO reminds me....

I ordered these two from Kim last week I paid £92 including P&P for the two. These\link{http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8264220989&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT\two}
I asked her to send them without the box, she charge $11.00 for posting both.
They should be here next week, I try them out put them on a few cards and post them so you can see before you buy your next alphas what there like.

i also have boxed brush and love it.

next on my list is big top

I bought GAW after much deliberation. Originally wanted the Lollipop set as they were more uniform - but possibly would have been too big to use for longer names / words.

Some words do look funny & a bit squint - I find they look better if you actually use them at odd angles.
Think I would like another set too though ! Grin

Whizzz · 12/03/2006 11:48

Carolinett - Wet Paint looks nice - Maybe difficult to stick as the letters are so thin!??
£92 for 2 is a great price shipped from the US !!

My GAW was $59 but a mate brought it back for me Wink

pootlepod · 12/03/2006 11:48

I would also suggest not putting them straight but that's because generally if I try to put things straight it looks worse than if I deliberatly mess things up IYSWIM! I am the Tracey Emin style of card maker!

Carolinett · 12/03/2006 12:03

Now what you mean about wetpaint I thought I would use foam for the letters and first stick the whole sheet of foam on an A4 sheet of double sided paper, when I cut the letter just peel off the backing paper. Guess you'd only get one chance to stick. Other than that foam again but use a fine nozzled tacky glue.

Carolinett · 12/03/2006 12:07

should have said doubled sided sticky paper
