Anyone have these, if so do you like them? I've been wanting to give them a try, so I brought some a local scrapbook store. Do you have any tips for me?

I'm sorry I don't even know what they are. I wish I could help, but I am going to go looking for them. Have you tried You Tube for a video?

Are they like Copics? I tried Copics at a stamping class and while they were neat, at $5+ a pen and considering I SUCK at stamping, I passed it up.

I have some and I have never used them, but I'm determined to do so before the end of this month.

I don't have them but then, my Silhouette is basically dead. It doesn't cut anything correctly anymore. :(

No they aren't like copics. You remove the cutting blade from the silhoutte and replace it with a sketch pen.

Ahh ok. I have a Silhouette that I used for 10 minutes, then bought a Cricut. Anyone want to buy it? LOL! Cheap? $20 and shipping, its yours!!

Susan, are you serious? I just bought one for myself, but my friend is really interested in getting one too! She'd love that deal. :)

I bought the pen tips for my Slice and I'm haven't used them yet. I'm afraid to mess with the blade. LOL So many people have had problems with their machines so I'm hesitant to change anything. I also have the embossing tips and haven't tried them either. Some day I'll have to just sit down and play with it.
Good luck with your sketch pens.

yeah, totally, I'd be in on that deal. I am so upset that mine doesn't work anymore. I have tons of files that I can't even cut :(
