I am searching for a Taylored Expressions “Spin It To Win It” die set. It belonged to the “Take A Spin” stamp set which was released back in 2014. I have the stamps but would sure love the dies!
Anyway, please let me know your price and shipping to 45458.
Thanks so much,
Tiffany

First of all, it looks like you are new, so welcome to the board! I hope someone has it and is willing to sell it. Considering how long ago it was released, you may have difficulty finding it. If so, there are options that may not be quite as ideal, but might work if you strike out finding someone to sell the die set to you. I’m posting these, just in case you strike out. Option 1: if you have a lot of stamp sets without matching dies, consider getting a Scan-n-Cut. It needs a solid outline, so it doesn’t work for every stamped image but you can always use a #2 pencil or a fine line pen to fill in breaks in the image outline. I’ve been stamping long enough that many of my stamps don’t have matching dies. I no longer feel a need to buy every matching die set for the stamps I buy. Option 2: if you have a Silhouette electronic cutter: scan the stamped images with a 1 inch square near the images. Bring it into the Silhouette software and create a 1 inch square as a cutting design. Fill with color. This will help you size your image to fit the stamps. Adjust until your scanned square and Silhouette square are the same size. Do a trace of the images to create a cutting file. If you don’t have a Silhouette, then option 2 will at least cut the circles. You will need to use the “cut first, stamp second method,” but I sometimes prefer this method. If you know know how to do this, here is a link to instructions: How to Cut First, Stamp SecondOption 3: measure your circles and buy appropriately sized nesting circle dies (the stamp set does seem to be mostly circle shapes), and see what other rectangle or shaped dies will cut the phrases. You would still need to hand cut the arrow, or use a different die cut arrow. This is what you may have already been doing, but if not, it’s still better than hand cutting everything. I do hope that someone has it and is willing to sell it, but whether you manage to get the matching dies or not, welcome!

Thank you so very much for your welcome scrapnnana I appreciate your ideas so much. I really hope to find the dies so I have my fingers crossed. I would love to have a ScanNCut but that isn’t in the budget right now. Maybe if I am really good this year with my spending, Santa will bring me one!
