Very impressed with not only the gorgeous die cuts I made but also the genius design to group layers on individual dies! They were very easy to cut out! I have the smaller garden picks die set and love that set set. The larger set is 1 1/2 times larger and the roses face the opposite direction. I cut mine out of different shades of paper but you can also water color/splatter your own paper and cut them out. I did that with my other set. I do recommend adding a sticky backing to the top 3 layers. Altenew sells some. I used another brand because it is what I had. It makes them easier to assemble. The sticky background give you more play time to assemble them than glue. Fabulous set! Very versatile!
