CottageCutz CCE064 Elites Die Cuts, 3.7 by 3.5-Inch, Build-A-Grapevine Wreath

I was surprised to find that instead of consisting of multiple pieces, this product is actually one solid plate. I am used to Nestabilities and Sizzix sets that come with the dies all separate. But I could immediately see some advantages to having them all in one piece: all the coordinating parts will cut out in one pass (but unless you want to pre-cut little squares of paper for each different leaf, they will all come out the same color.)I suspected that this might not cut out well with my Cuttlebug, which often misses the center section on large or intricate dies. On the first pass, I could see that it hadn't cut the middle of the wreath all the way through. On the second pass I used a metal shim, and it cut perfectly. It cuts nice deep detailing for the leaf veins.With the dies all on one plate, you can't really use the dies separately or place them strategically on a card to use the negative space. But on the other hand, you can't lose any of the coordinating dies since they are all piece.

I have not had time to make anything with this yet, but I fully intend to use it often.

Very detailed and very pretty. I use a piece of waxed paper when I cut and it falls right out. I use the Cuttlebug. This is my 2nd die from this company and I am very pleased.

NIce set of dies. The single branches worked great for my Bigz Snowman arms.

Beautiful die cuts and easy to cut and remove from die. Great value.

Love this die. Will purchase from this seller again.

I like how every thing is separate for cutting
