I fell in love with the look of Sue Wilson dies, but put off buying any because most of the dies I own were purchased from big box stores or websites with coupons or big discounts, and hers aren't available there. But last week I spoiled myself and placed an order with DiesRUs for several of them.
All I can say is WOW. The designs are really smart - the ones I have are set up with the outline as a separate die, so you can cut the design into the front of a card without cutting out the whole window (if that makes any sense).
But the best part is, even though some of the dies are very ornate with thin lines and tiny pieces, they cut like a dream. I was using the regular platform with my Big Kick (not the precision plate), and even though my top cutting plate was warped and bowed, every one of those dies cut all the way through and were incredibly easy to separate the paper from the die. (My bottom plate was flat, and I always use a sandwich of die with the cut side up, cardstock and then top plate.) I have dies from many companies, and these are by far some of the easiest cutting I've ever used.
