🌸 Sizzix Thinlits Die - Intricate Lace by Tim Holtz: Stunning Multi-Colored One-Size Design Review

This stamp makes a very nice thing. You must use an extra layer or 2 papers when you press the matrix as it will not cut through.

I have tried many spacers on my squid and have never been able to cut the design down the middle. I was afraid that I would break my squid if I put in many pieces of cardboard or spacers to cut. Would not recommend this matrix.

I don't know if I have a bad matrix or what but I've run it through my Big Shot over a dozen times and it hasn't cut the whole paper . I've tried different cards. I tried adding spacers but in many places they didn't cut all the way through.

It's BEAUTIFUL. if I run it through the machine 18 times. Despite this, it's still quite a hassle to remove all residue - it's very useful to have some kind of sharp blade nearby. So if you're willing to work for it, that's great. Otherwise, probably just buy another matrix. It really should produce better quality cuts.

Not sure if the die is defective but I couldn't cut the design at all. Only the edges of the design showed after running it through my machine a few times, but still not enough to cut anything. I've used different cardboards, added spacers, run them through my machine over and over again, but got the same result every time. I request a replacement if this is a defect, but I've read other reviews and it seems I'm not the only one with this issue, making me skeptical about my replacement.
