I saw several cards made with this die, some were white with glitter and some were green. So, I wanted to try them myself, to see what kind of magic I could make. The thinlits dies are so easy to use. You get the best of both worlds on this type of die -- the positive and negative cuts. So no wasted paper. I am very satisfied. I have never been disappointed with the service I receive and the promptness of delivery.
These dies cut lovely trees. I have found that using the fabric softener sheets as backing under the paper makes cutting so much easier to separate the cuts from the cutout parts. Anyone having problems with tearing and annoying task of separation will find the fabric softener sheet method a real solution. I have found that it does take a 4-ply layer to work best. I hope this helps others.
this is a perfect die when making a 5x7 Christmas card. I highly recommend this die along with different shades of green and white. Will be using with Tim Holtz's "Sleigh Ride" and "Prancing Deer". Found I needed to use wax paper from time to time.
I have been eyeing these dies for a while now and when Scrapbook.com had them back in stock I scoped them up. Best price in town. Plus, you can not go wrong w/ sizzix. Scrapbook.com and Sizzix are a great combo
easy to die cut ! perfect for vertical cards - too tall for horizional 4.5 or 5 height cards.
I really love these trees. I am excited to use them. There are so many possibilities that I am thinking of in using these. They cut out nicely. I have been looking for some time now for just the right pine trees and these are just what I wanted.
I'm so happy to have these pines! They are beautifully detailed. I won't limit them to just winter scenes, either! Will color, paint or ink them in to use with some scenic stamp sets. Will experiment with layering. Glad I have these beautiful trees.
When I receive these and tried them out I was absolutely amazed at the intricacy on them. These are awesome dies for a tree of this type. They make wonderful cards. I would highly recommend this die for someone that needs trees for anything. Love them
I loved this die the minute I saw it and just had to have it. Love the style of the trees and they can be used to create a scene on a card of scrapbook page or can be used alone for a great simple card for Christmas, winter, or any time of year.
I absolutely love the Die. I have used it to make my Christmas cards this year. I hope to make a lot of masculine cards along the way. I have told a friend, she also wants it, but is back ordered at this time. I purchased it at a great price.

Yes. With the correct sandwich combination, you can use this die with your Grand Caliber.

I recently purchased the trees, have been wanting them for quite awhile and I just purchased my first Big Shot. I have been making cards for years and now looking forward to doing the cards a little differently. My question regarding the thin cut-out's....what is best and easiest way to attach them to cardstock neatly?

I use either Best Ever Glue or my Xyron. If the tip on the glue isn't fine enough for you, you can buy a fine tip that will fit it. They are by ScraPerfect and
I am new to die cutting. I will be buying my first Big Shot shortly. I see someone commented on using waxpaper, I imagine for backing while cutting. Does it help to keep the cut designs from sticking, not releasing??

Yes, especially for the more intricate dies, it helps to separate paper from the die.

I use a Cuttlebug and these dies work just fine. You might need to put an extra sheet or two of cardstock into your sandwich, or add some wax paper to help in releasing the cuts. Just do a little exploring.
