The first time I ran one of the dies from this set through my die cut machine I wasn't in love with it. Once my card came together I was so happy with the die. There are a couple dies that cut each letter out individually. I didn't read the description of the product when I purchased it. I wasn't expecting the die to cut out each letter individually. My initial reaction was one of disappointment. I was planning on using the shadow die anyway on my card, and using the shadow die made it so easy to get proper spacing. I ended up adding three layers of letters. I used adhesive sheets, and tweezers, and it was so easy to put my "Lucky" sentiment together. Not all of the dies cut out the letters individually, but some do.
