Very useful Ikky as I find it sooo confusing espcially as I bought some sets second hand without the number on them.

I received a reply from a member saying it was helpful but she was still confused and scared. I thought this might help.

Can you explain what is confusing you, perhaps I can help?

I started with a Standard Large Oval and the co-ordinating Classic Large Scalloped, and the Standard Large Circle and the co-ordinating Petite Large Scalloped. The reason being that:
l circles and ovals are the more difficult to cut by hand
2 The difference between the biggest Standard Large and biggest Standard Small is only 1/8". So, I went for the Large.
3 I couldn't decide whether I liked Classic or Petite the best, so I went for one of each
4 I wanted ovals and circles, but couldn't afford and didn't want to spend £120 to buy all the 4 sets of dies in each shape so had 2 of each as a compromise.
5 - Personally, I would rather have more different shapes, than lots of the same shape.

I actually like the classic scallop, but the Petite is useful for making flowers ( you will find a tutorial on my blog for making these), but then the Classic would do a similar job. So buying this way has worked for me!

thanks, ikki, I loved the card and the tutorial. :thanks:


I have had my Wizard for over a year now and I love it as I just can't cut straight, never have and I don't suppose for a moment I ever will. :D
