SizzixFramelits Die Set 8/PK - Circles

Sizzix is a brand that I trust. They always sell a good product that is sturdy and works well. They did not disappoint me.

I have another set of layering round framelits but I've lost one, so I bought these. They are just s tiny bit different in size, but close enough to replace what I have. They are no longer avalzible through Stampin' Up! and are at a better price through Amazon than 3rd party venues.

I liked the size of the circles as I have another set and they are larger. There are many ways to use these circles on greeting cards. One way is to cut out a circle to use a picture or a sentiment on that circle and then take some glitter paper and cut out the next largest circle and put it over the sentiment circle so it fits really close to the other circle. You can finish your card with other stamps or dies that you have.You can use several circles on a card interlocking in different colors. Add other items that you like with a sentiment.Just 2 examples of the use of circles.t

cuts leaving a clean edge with no impressions left on the piece. I find their dies to be superior to all others

I finally bought this set after eyeing it for years. Cuts well as all Sizzix dies do.

Once I figured out how to use these with the Cuttlebug machine (no instructions), I found them easy to use. The stackable format is really nice and preferable to a circle cutter apparatus which is clumsy to use. The thinlits go through the Cuttlebug nicely, but sometimes you do have to maneuver the cut out paper to get it to disengage from the Sizzlit. Occasionally it doesn't cut all the way through, but for me it's not a big deal with all the paper on hand. However if you have a special one of a kind piece of paper, be aware that this can happen.

If you are a scrapper or card maker, you need this in all shapes. This is so handy. Put it on your photo and see exactly how it will cut. We used this year for an ornament project, there is nothing better than a crisply cut, perfect shape. This does it every time and people will be dazzled by your ability, if they only knew how easy! I use mine with a cuttlebug. Works perfect. Will say it is hard on cutting plates, but could not work better. Love these.. I have the circles, ovals, and the squares, will eventually get the stars and any other shape they sell. So much better than a stencil,and a cutter or a punch, most flexibility with all the sizes and super easy and fast!

This is a great die set- very versatile, which is what I wanted. I have a three-quarter inch circle punch and a one inch punch and an inch and a half punch and the smallest circle in this set is 1.25" so between my small collection of punches and this set, I have pretty much any circle size I'll ever need. On top of that, these dies are super thin, they're called wafer thin, so they're far easier to store than bulky punches; although, they may not be as quick as punches, you can still bet that any circle you need, there's probably that size die in this pack. A great addition to anyone's die collection!
