I have played around with them a bit. i used the on a baby shower gift I made. It was some size tags that went on hangers so you can sort clothes in the closet by size. i used the inks to write the ages (6-9 months) and then I cut out animals. Of course...I forgot to take a picture before I gave them to her They did turn out quite cute though.

I think that it draws the shape instead of cutting it. The shape of it looks like it can replace the cutting blade. I'm not sure that why I would love to see something made with the inks.

You can outline your cuts with the markers and draw with them. You can use the marker to draw the image and then push load paper again (not unload) and it will take you back where the blade started. Replace the marker with the blade (very carefully so you don't bump the carriage) and then push the repeat last button (make sure you remember to change your blade depth and pressure!) You will have an outlined image.

The Pink stamper has a video on her blog that shows how to use them:

Thanks, good to know, I have not been happy with the inks to this point. Will try and use them again and see what happens.
