My mom kindly got me the stamp "Picket Fence Studios Honey Dear" for my birthday but the die was sold out. She wanted to get me the die too, but we cannot locate it anywhere...thought I would check with the Pea super detectives.  I emailed Picket Fence and they got back to me right away, and said unfortunately it was retired, but to check with scrapbook.com as they might still have some. They do not, I checked with all the usual suspects (SSS, ACOT, Frantic Stamper, CraftsDirect, Anchor Paper, Ebay, Etsy, Mercari, and a few other ones) and no luck. I did find one that shipped from Austraila, but of course the shipping was more than the die. This would be shipped to the US. If anyone has any ideas, I would love to know. This one looks like kind of a challenge to fussy/detail cut. Thanks! |

Did you ask on any of the FB stamp selling groups? Or check Ali Express?

I just thought maybe there was a online scrapbook store that I hadn't thought of yet...I will keep looking. Was a little suprised about Ebay. Does Ali Express sell actual manufacture's merchandise, or all their own? Thanks! |

I would stamp it, color it and fussy cut.

Yep, that is the only one I found! Was 14.00 to ship to US, making the die 28.00...ouch! Thank you though, I appreciate it. I'll probably just cut it out, or just leave it on a die cut piece of paper. |

Looking at the shape I would probably stamp it onto an oval on its side. I would find that easier to use than a fully fussy cut image anyway, I think. You could also try cutting it out without worrying about the internal spaces, just a loose bubble around the outside. Or find a friend who has a ScanNCut?
If it's $28 in Australian dollars that's just under $USD20 if that's any better. A fair bit to spend on a single die but not quite as bad as almost $30.
Otherwise I would try eBay and Etsy to see if anyone has one they're destashing, and post on the FSOT board. A long shot but maybe you'll get lucky.

Did you try Googling the name of the die? I have had success with doing that in the past. There are a lot of smaller, unknown-to-me scrapbooking and craft stores out there. I found some of my favorites that way. For example, OnlyOneLifeCreations.com I found from a wild goose chase like that, and she actually had what I wanted in stock. I am not sure if she has the die you need, but you could check there, and failing that, Googling might help you uncover a store out there that has it...
