Sorry you are having problems with this one, it is one I would like, but I have heard the same complaint about it. Hope you get it sorted!

Hi Iggy,

I’ve got the fancy lattice die and yes it’s doesn’t cut fully first time - especially the middle area.
I have to turn it around on the board and put it through at least 3 or 4 times depending on the card thickness.
Same problem with both my spellbinder and eBosser.

I've got it as well and also have problems cutting it. I found a shim helped and it was better with paper than card.
I used it to make my daughters birthday card and was pleased with the result but it was a fiddle.

Gorgeous card Jammy.

I have it too, and it is a pain to cut out. there always seems to be one area that wont cut no matter what I do. It is ok if you can cover up the dodgy area. Not impressed at all, as it isn't cheap. Put me off buying any more CL dies.

Gorgeous card Jammy.

I too have the die, and whilst I got it to cut okay for one pass, extending it was a PIB and didn't work.

THANKS ALL OF YOU........love the card its super for a girl.
looby ...lucky you getting it to cut in one pass.......ive not tried it extended as it makes it worse for turning round this way & that.
i have found a small shim in the middle did help a little BUT thats all.. makes me wonder if its worth getting the other one......ive got some nice blanks from centura pearl........shame about the fiddle though.

Thanks for the kind remarks. My little girl was 27 this year, but fairies have become a feature of our house in recent years with her children. I didn't want her to feel left out. The sentiment inside read: 'to our very grown up little girl'.

The flowers were made with a cuttlebug quilling die.
