Spellbinder dies dirt cheap

Wish I could have caught one of those sales. Unfortunately any Michaels in my area was cleaned out before I got there! No Cuttlebug EF either. It's probably better for both my budget and my storage that I missed it!!!

I have all of the scalloped circles, squares, and rectangles for many years ago. Recently, I bought the Sentiments 3, 4, and 5 on sale at Joann's. I really do not like the way that they cut. It's really difficult to get the cardstock out of the die compared to other dies, despite the pinholes. I've torn quite a few die cuts trying to get them out of the die. I have some less intricate dies that I bought recently that I'm hoping work out better.

Have you tried the dryer sheet trick with your dies? Check out the video. It works like a charm! Here is the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQx_rKUwjsQ

I too get at Scrap Mart-not wild about their shipping packaging but the prices are really good. In fact I just popped a window die set into my wish list there I was admiring in the gallery b/c I went to see if they had Dini's arches-they did before. (not right now)

But of course that is not the same as 10%. Wow.

Krista, I use wax paper when cutting with new dies and find that helps a lot. I use it all the time on the very intricate designs.
