More Dies!

Another new die, and another simple card. I cut the die from an off-white panel. I matted with slightly patterned paper. The sentiment is from Inky Antics and is cut with a Memory Box die and mounted on foam squares.

Edited to add: Here is the link to this die that I bought from Amazon. I have bought many dies from Amazon and also from eBay. There are multiple sellers selling them. I haven't been linking, because I think these companies are making dies using other company's dies as patterns. Not sure how they can do that, but I have seen some that I've recognized from "major" companies. Wherever they come from, they work really well!  If you are interested, please allow lots of time for looking, because there are lots of dies. Also, they ship from China, so they take a long time to get here.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!

Love it! We have similar tastes. I put this die on my list the other day! LOL!! I thought it looked pretty and now that I see it used on an actual card, I like it even more. Thanks for showing it. Now I'm sure I want it!! Didn't get my order in yesterday, but will today for sure. :) :)

Very pretty! I know these dies are incredibly cheap. I do cringe at how they're copying even current designs from other companies and then hugely undercutting prices. I thought they were just buying up old dies, but then found out otherwise.

This is gorgeous! Loving the simplicity of the design. You're so good at that...I always want to add one more thing 😉

These cheap dies on Amazon are being made and sold by companies in China. At this time, China doesn't have to follow U.S. trademark/copyright laws so they are free to copy designs from U.S. companies. That could change in the future depending on U.S. trade agreements with China. I've been watching these dies for quite a while and it seems to me (JMO) that there are even more "exact" copies now than when I first saw them. I have purchased a good number of these dies and will tell you to be careful. Some of the "copies" are exact and some look very similar but are different in various ways such as size, number of pieces included if the die set includes multiple dies. So, if you buy these Chinese dies from Amazon just do your homework and check the details as much as is possible and compare to the originals so you will know what you are really getting. And also, as Lynettes has said, allow plenty of time to look around. Multiple Chinese companies are selling the same dies so check to make sure you are getting the lowest price available on each die you choose. I realize that it's impossible to be totally sure you've found the lowest price, but a little extra checking might save you some money. I've seen the exact same dies offered by different companies at very different prices.
