KKathson 4PC Bird Metal Cutting Dies Stencil for Scrapbooking, Card Making, and DIY Crafts Review

Very fun bird dies as they cut and emboss at the same time. Good size for normal maps and also for ATC.

These cute birds are so cute. The punch cuts VERY well into my large stamp. in fact it cuts right through in places that could only be embossed (e.g. around the wing). I partially solved this problem by placing a sheet of carbon paper between the matrix and the paper and that helped, although it still cuts through in places. I might try using 2 sheets of carbon paper to see if I can get an outline with embossed inner lines. Fun idea: cut out birds from white or ivory textured card stock, then…

The product came in a dirty bag that was obviously wet. The matrices looked rusty. Luckily I managed to clean them and they worked fine. Not impressed with the handling of the package.

These 4 bird die cuts are really well cut and will be fun to make. They are small but suitable for decorating A2 or A7 sized cards (I usually make A7 cards which are 5x7 feet or 4.5" x 6.5"). The price can't be beat either!

I only wish companies could make a decent product instead of throwing away bad ones. Two of these birds are cute and look good on cards, and two are too ugly to use. But a good deal and they cut very well.
