I have real problems with this strip die because it won't cut out efficiently. I have tried many times and it won't cut right through. According to the illustration on the product I should be able to remove the border and replace it with another colour. This just doesn't happen because if the letter does cut out successfully, I still can't remove the border without tearing it. Very disappointing especially as I have used many Tim Holtz products and usually love them.
I've had a lot of fun with this die! Being able to use two colors in a title or just the outline on bright paper is very useful. It's not terribly fussy to put the insides/outsides together, either.
I appreciate that a previous reviewer had difficulty with this die. Mine seems to work as intended. I *do* cut each letter individually (while cutting several at once) - I don't run the entire die through, cutting all the letters each time. I cut strips and then use pieces off the strip to cover the letters I want. And, the first few times with the Decorative Strips, I may have to run the die through twice as the "foam" sort of pads the cutting blades a bit when new. But, I'm still relatively new at die-cutting and may have beginner's luck!
I've been happy with all of the Sizzlits alphabet strips I've purchased. I just wish there was a way to get economical dies for larger alphabets - like 1.75" or so for larger title work.
