This Mini Journal Template is part of the Watercolor Journals Collection from Art Impressions. This die set includes 22 steel dies and features pockets, frames, tags, banners, clasps, and more. This mini journal will allow you to add up to four pages. You can decorate this journal with paper, pictures, ephemera, stickers, and more. These dies are compatible with leading die cutting machines (sold separately). This is the perfect set for beginning crafters and a great idea for a present for any occasion. The assembled mini journal measures 2" x 2.5".
I was reading previous reviews and realized that there are similar complaints about the set, 1. the dies are attached 2. the envelope in the 1st picture doesn't come with the set. If we look at the 2nd picture, ewe can see what pieces are included and also that the pieces are attached. Please when purchasing anything online, look carefully at all of the pictures provided and read the description carefully.
That said the set is really nice and cuts well.
The set is lively and the design is nice. Yes, it has many pieces but they are all connected and it’s hard to cut them apart. Even with the right tool, they were hard to cut apart and to prevent the small pieces of metal from flying into my face or on the ground to step on without shoes, I did it under a towel. The edges of each snipped piece left a sharp part, really sharp. It was time consuming to cut them apart and even more time consuming to file them down. I’m not sure I’d recommend the set just because if these steps, not for the price. It would have been nice to know that they’d come attached. It ought to be advertised as such. And there’s no small envelope die shown in the picture design. Keep that in mind, look carefully at the die pieces before assuming what project pieces are shown is in the set. I’ve yet to use them but looking forward to it.
I like this die set because I will use it for the journal and also a dozen other things. It comes with so many pieces that I'm sure I'll use on every card I make. I gave it four stars because it didn't come with many sample pictures of what you can do with it (which always helps me get started). Also, unless I simply haven't found it yet, the die for the tiny envelope that is prominently shown in the packaging and photo of this item (under the bee) is not included in the set. I made my own on a Cricut machine, but wish it had been a die in the set.
