Singing Snowmen Cards


I bought this die set sometime last year, thinking it would be great for Christmas cards.  And then I lost it in my house. Par for the course for me.

I found it after Christmas cards were made, and I decided it would be good New Year's cards. I made three of these cards, with the scarf colors mixed on them. I made a fourth one with just two snowmen for Steve.

I really like this die set, and would definitely use it again - maybe for Christmas cards for new year.  My few criticisms:

  • The trio as pictured on the packaging material (and as I made them) has six snowmen arms.  Two of them are the same - just out straight.  I guess that is way the die set cuts FIVE arms at a time.  To get the sixth one, you have to cut the die a second time.  Annoying.  I had arms galore when I was finished.
  • The cut buttons and open singing mouths are not all the same.  I didn't realize that when I cut the snowmen.  I popped out the buttons and set them aside in a dish. I then colored them black.  I added tape behind the open tiny holes on the snowmen where the buttons go and then I realized that the nine buttons are not the same.  I had to figure out which of the buttons went where. And I was making 11 snowmen - 33 tiny buttons.  The same problem happened with the mouths - except there were only 11 of them - not 33, thank goodness. And they are larger than the tiny little buttons.
Otherwise, a great set of dies.  Recommend.
