🌲 Sizzix 660978 Thinlits Die Set, Woodlands by Tim Holtz: Quality Cutouts for Crafting, 2/pack Review

I cut this stamp out of an old watercolor on my Sizzix Big Shot machine and then painted the details white with acrylic titanium oxide to simulate snow. I covered the snow with diamond sticks to give it some sparkle. This die cut is perfect for an A2 (4.25" x 5.5") size folded top greeting card. Please see the customer image of an A2 Christmas card that I have decorated with a tree line cutout so you can get an idea of the actual size.

My collection is just growing so I've limited my purchases with each new listing but this stamp was a must have. I'm so glad I got it. This is completely sufficient for A2 cards. I use 140 lb watercolor paper for these flimsy stamps (e.g. tree tops tear easily if you use 65 lb paper). This requires some patience as the tree tops are thin and will need to be removed piece by piece. It's not a quick cut and stamp removal BUT it's worth it! I suggest using moss green with distress paint peeled off

I'm a bit obsessed with skylines and rows of trees for my Halloween greeting cards at the moment. I bought this to see if I can create a spooky forest and it was perfect. Delivered quickly, packaging was fantastic (I mean, you would expect less from Tim Holtz). The stamp was the perfect size for a standard A2 card and produced the most amazing die cut. It was a smooth and easy cut on my magic machine. I didn't do anything but thought about other ways to use this cube and put it in other themes…
