Normally I have nothing but good things to say about the Shapeabilities dies, which I use with my Cuttlebug machine. The directions on how to use these dies with the Spellbinders Wizard, the Big Kick by Sizzix, and the Cuttlebug by Provocraft come with every set of dies, and they are very clear and easy to follow.
However, the two large crosses did not cut cleanly when I applied them to Bazzill cardstock. I had to finish cutting out the center decorations with my trusty X-Acto knife, using a #11 blade.
If you experience similiar problems, try rotating the die and paper 90 degrees and running it through your die-cutting machine a second time. When this didn't completely cut through the paper, I added a second sheet of paper, then flipped the first sheet of paper and die over, so that the two sheets of paper touched each other, then ran it through my Cuttlebug a third time. This technique gave me the cleanest cut, but I still had to finish the most complicated cross (the large green cross in the illustration) with my X-Acto knife.
These crosses make very nice decorations for Easter greeting cards (see customer image above for an example using the large curly cross.) I just wish they cut a bit more cleanly.

You will want to put wax paper between your cross and it will make your cross come out so much easier. Just leave the waxpaper in the cross. Even withoutdo the waxpaper it is not hard to punch out the cross. I used two of the crosses and put them on top of each other just to give them a littler fancer look got this idea off the internet. You will like this set.PJB
