We reviewed it and said: "I have made several greetings cards, vinyl stickers (for mugs and my toddler’s step) and several labels for kitchen jars and pots. Most of them have been easy to achieve. It’s easy to get the hang of, but also there are lots of levels of expertise to work your way through."

One reviewer put: "It couldn't be more simple to use if they tried. I enjoy the easy to use app this label maker uses. I use it to make labels for the meat I pop into my freezer and they seem to be standing up to being knocked and moved around the freezer as you look for something at the bottom. The one thing I have noticed is the colour doesn't always match the sample on screen but is consistent in colour. Would I buy again?... So far id say yes. Would I recommend it? Again so far I'd say yes."

This little sticker machine makes stickers out of die-cuts; photos; ribbon; tags and much more up to 5 inches wide. Refill cartridges are available in both permanent and temporary adhesives.

A reviewer put: "This is a good quality machine. It does make stickers really well, its not so good on intricate die cuts as the glue can often stick out in the spaces and looks grubby, but for larger flat pieces it is fine. It lasted for ages and overall I am impressed with the product and I would recommend it to others.

Phomemo D30 Label Printer can print labels with a width of 5mm-15mm, and provides a variety of styles of thermal labels (white labels, transparent labels, round labels, various pattern labels) for convenience and fast personalised coding and organisation.

One reviewer put: "The printer itself is compact, easy to set up and easy to run. It is simple to change between the label types in the printer and also in the app. The app was downloaded quickly, it is simple to set up and save different labels for quick re-use. Our family love the cute animals and borders that can be added and we've used the transparent ones for labelling water bottles, packed lunch boxes and all manner of other things that typically get left at school."

Suitable for cutting and designing on paper or vinyl film, as well as fabric, wood paper, photo card or textile foil. Make your own creative ideas come true, with the large Silhouette Design Store as a source of new inspiration.

One reviewer put: "The machine is easy to set up and with the aid of the Silhouette tutorials you can cut simple materials with the autoblade very soon after opening the box. It's very accurate, especially if you use the registration correctly for printed copy. What does take the time is getting the process from PC document to printer accurate."
