Title: Arty Farty Templates
Post by: pixie on July 13, 2007, 10:48:04 AM

I have just bought the cherub crib and marteen glass.
Does anyone else feel as I do about the quality of the templates? the very least I expected them to be ready cut out, but no they are printed on size A3 card and you have to cut them out yourself, for the price of them I would have also expected a plastic or solid template.
I love the designs but not the quality of the templates,

I too thought the very same thing, though they seem to be pretty sturdy, though i too would have thought the template could have come ready cut for use, i bought the umbrella and box, but :) since then i have purchased a craft robo machine, and have made my own template for the cot and box, which turned out really well.

Hi All
I too have purchased these templates, I do find them a bit of a let down being only made from card. I make a copy in a strong acetate so I always have two.It helps prolong the life of the original which I only use to put in score lines etc. Hope this idea helps. Best wishes Betty.

Glad to see that I wasn't the only one with this opinion.

They are good templates though.

I'll post anyway.  Living in Canada and ordering from over the internet is difficult, because what we watch on screen sometimes arrive differently - as in the case of the Arty Farty templates.  I love her templates and would like to get more.  In order to preserve my original template intact, I went to a local printer and had a copy made (which I cut up and used) and I even had them downsize it to fit for smaller cards (which we use more often here).  It was suggested on the site I was watching to make a backup and Arty was right there when it was suggested, so I don't feel I infringed on any copyrights.
