Patelai 17-Piece Classic Style Carbon Steel Metal Craft Dies - Flower & Leaf Shapes for Scrapbooking, Card Making & Home Decor

I tried cutting thin card and only the simpler ones were successful. I am a bit disappointed as there are some lovely flowers in this set. Perhaps if I cut on paper rather than card I might get better results.

I like this set, becoming one of my favorites actually. The flowers and the flower stalks are different and unique and I like that.They are cutting well on just the basic base of my Sizzix with lightweight paper. When I move to heavier paper or the skeletal flower with the intricate cutouts I use the Chrome Precision Base and then get cleaner cuts.No complaints.

I loved these until I tried to use them. Because they are manufactured with very FEW holes, the cuts are impossible to remove from the die cut, even with the appropriate needle nosed tweezers and/or picks. Usually there are lots of holes on the back to poke to push out the cuts but these cut thin stems and flowers with no way to push them out of the die cut!

I bought wildflower dies by another company. You got 5 dies in a package and they cost approximately $20. a set. With this set you get 14 dies for approximately $9.00 and they are just as nice as the expensive ones.

These came with small metal pieces attaching them together. It took forever to get them off. Some of them would not come off because of how tiny the piece of metal is. when you you go and cut them they leave a mark on your cuts so its not clean. They would be cut otherwise.
