Has anyone bought dies to legit stamps they own and had them work okay?
I waited months to buy a stamp set I HAD TO HAVE and guess what showed up on the first page when sorted by newest sets? Yep! The stamp set and dies...however, they are selling them separately, so since I have the good stamp set, I am debating whether or not I should just pick up the dies and hope they work. They are only $3.61 so it's not a huge gamble.

I’ve bought a few stamp sets with matching dies and they all worked fine. I wouldn’t risk buying dies for stamps I bought elsewhere for fear they wouldn’t be the same size..

Well, for $3.61 you can certainly give it a try and if they work, yay, and if not... it's not a big deal. I've just recently purchased a stamp with the matching die from AX and it works perfectly. I haven't tried buying a die to a set I already have, mostly because I have a scan-n-cut that I hope to use some day,  but also because I have heard that the stamps may be slightly different in size. But, like I said, for less than $4, you might give it a try. |

I'm in a couple of FB non-branded die and stamp groups. From what I've read, it appears that the Ai-Express/Wish stamps and dies are more often than not, almost always (how's that for a qualifier?) smaller than the original branded dies. I'd be tempted to try the dies from AE or Wish if that are cheap enough. I will also add that I love my Scan N Cut 2. I love how it cuts out my rubber stamps designs. There's something so pleasing about watching the image being cut out and no need for matching dies. Sometimes it the little pleasures in life that make me happy. LOL  |
