I will be recording the shows with the Silhouette Mint machine over tonight and tomorrow. Looked at it on the Silhouette website and it looks supercool- but hideously expensive. Looks very simple to use.
I saw this but wasn't quite sure about it. It seemed to be creating a temporary stamp that you ink once and then get so many uses from - is that how it works? The fact that you need their ink implied that it wasn't like a normal stamp. It's an interesting idea but I'm not sure it is something I would go for.

Yes, I think that is it. Very pricey. The inks are about £5 a bottle . The other stuff you need seems to be between £6 and £15. The inks soak into the pad to give you 50 stamps before you re-ink so you can have it forever. You will be able to design your own or use your jpegs in the software. I don't stamp at all ( except digitally) so I don't know how much stamps usually are. I like the multi- coloured effect. At least it is something over than dies to watch.
I have hundreds of stamps! They are a lot cheaper now than when they were all on wooden blocks - an A5 sheet of several stamps is about £10 or so. Ink pads are anything from a couple of pounds up.
I rarely do anything the same way twice so having 50 impressions before I could change colour wouldn't really be of interest to me! I also don't do enough to justify buying something like that so nice idea but not for me!
That was the only thing that I could think of too! If that was all you did it would be a very expensive stamp! You can get stamps like that made relatively cheaply I believe. I have seen them on eBay.
