Spellbinders' 2012 releases started this annoying feature of no longer releasing the paper from the die unless you first placed a piece of wax or freezer paper on top of the die and then the card stock. Also, the color of the dies changed from a dull bronze to a bright copper. And the dies are now made in China.

Yes, the die cut is pretty, but getting the card stock out of the die is a whole other story. I work with intricate dies all the time, most of them much, much more intricate than the rather bold designs of Spellbinders, and I have yet to encounter such a nuisance issue with dies that are manufactured in America.

If you're only running the die once you may not mind so much having to sit there and poking every hole out to insure a clean cut next time you use the die again. But if you want to run it several times for more than just one card, this sitting over a trash can and poking out the holes even after using wax paper will make you swear under your breath. Made in China and quality going downhill seem synonymous.

As for me, until Spellbinders solves this issue, I think I'll stick with companies well known for their intricate and high quality dies such as Cheery Lynn, Memory Box and Poppy Stamps, Marianne, and even Die-Versions. For the price Spellbinders wants I expect more than what I am getting.

Great Product. Just had to learn to use wax paper between die and card stock to get it out of the die without tearing cut card stock up. Glad I bought it.

As usual absolutely no problem with my Amazon order.

This Spellbinders die set is the best, and my favorite decorative set to date. The border is very intricate and beautiful and cuts easily with my die cutting machine. It takes my card making to the next level. Highly recommend this set.

Like all detailed thin metal dies, put a layer of wax paper next to die, then your paper,

will release like a charm. The other trick is to layer scotch tape (on the back) on areas

don't cut as well and just leave it on, sort of a spot shim. I find that easier than rotating the die

etc...
