I think I need some of these stitched dies. I’m going to need to make a list of my wants. It keeps growing. Check out Gina Marie Designs. She has very inexpensive nested dies. Really inexpensive! I just checked out her page.

I exclusively scrapbook, & alphas (mostly Quickutz) are my most used dies. I use my good old Quickutz 2" letter dies the most. Which of the 2" QK fonts is your favorite?

Definitely my foundation dies from Queen & Co. Even though the shapes are mostly basic and I could cut them on my scan n cut I reach for those because they have the stitched borders. Price wise I think they are a bargain considering you're getting 8 or more dies per set and they coordinate so well together. Love these- but the shipping to Australia is way $$$ 😢

I have mostly Mosaic Moments, but I also have some from Lawn Fawn and Honey Bee Stamps in their respective carts (despite the fact I just got a Cricut for Christmas).

Finding this thread fascinating because I've only had my big shot for a couples of months. So the die I've used the most is the sentiment die that was the only one I had until the others arrived. 😂
Gina Marie does have cheap nesting dies! I got a bunch of cheap shapes from AliExpress but most are smallish sets. I'd like to get some good rectangles but I've been balking at the cost.

Similar to many other replies here, definitely the following: Stitched Circles Stitched Squares Stitched Rectangles
If you like to use the negatives too, I recommend choosing ones that leave stitching behind .... so just look for a set that has stitching on both sides of the cut line. I love making simple window cards this way ...

Beyond basic nesting shapes (I mean who doesn't use these all the time if they have them?) the dies I use the most are a swatching set with lots of little strips/rectangles/squares that fit onto 2" bases and my assortment of animal part shapes. I like building my own critters for embellishments.
It's really fun 'shape shopping' in my binders of dies for the perfect cutter(s) to make whatever I have in my mind - I've done a phoenix, dragons, monsters, Pokémon, swan & cygnet, etc.
