Crafter's CompanionGemini Metal Die-Elements

This cutting die is SO badly designed. You'd expect it to be seven individual 'bow' dies for the rainbow, then a separate die each for the cloud, sun and snowflake. NOPE. The rainbow is one die, the others are another die - you only get a total of TWO dies in this set.What this means is that you have to cut out seven rainbows - one per colour - and throw away six stripes of each colour. Likewise - you want to cut out clouds, you also have to (partly) cut sun/snowflakes too.It's a shocking waste of paper. Unless you want to cut out one rainbow all in red (or orange, yellow, etc) and not have different-coloured stripes like you'd get in an actual rainbow.The only way this die set would be partly useful is if you were planning on rainbows in random colours, i.e. not following the convention of ROYGBIV. If you're doing 'abstract' rainbows where it doesn't matter that the colours are in the wrong order (or you're using non-rainbow colours) I suppose it's OK, but that's not what I'm making so I'm ending up chucking away a lot of paper.Such a disappointment.

Arrived fine, but I am disappointed. The sun, cloud and snowflake are one die, and the seven rainbow pieces are one die. Have to cut a lot of pieces that I don't want to get the ones that I do want

The die cut doesn’t come in pieces, so u have to do 1 colour at a time for each colour of the rainbow, cloud, sun & snowflake, so I waste a lot of paper.

Cut nicely. Came out, no problems. And arrived on time. Pretty well priced too. All in all very happy with my purchase.

nothing to dislike - it was what it said and it arrived very fast
