Default Tonic Studio Dies

Hello,
I have been thinking of investing in basic shape dies including rectangle and scallop rectangle dies and came across these Mixed layering die sets(484e) These are alot more economical than purchasing them separately.


https://tonic-studios.com/product/mi...ering-die-set/

I then also came across other Mixed die set - 1457e and didn't understand the difference in them.


https://tonic-studios.com/product/la...tangles-1457e/


Does anyone know if the cheaper one (1457e) also makes the standard A2 card size frame? And has anyone used this Tonic Studios dies?


Thank you

If you look at the second picture on the cheaper set, it shows the packaging and it says the largest die is 4x5.1". So that's not a full A2 (4.25x5.5") front, and it's not quite the proportions I'd want for working on an A2 card-- that biggest die would have to be 4x5.25 for me.

Thank you so much for the reply. That's exactly what I was wondering. I guess I'll get the dies by Gina Marie.

Aastha, I have and love the Hero Arts Infinity rectangle dies - 16 dies for $24.99. The largest one is a full A2 size. So easy to layer and make frames with these. I also have the Infinity circle dies.

I looked the dies the OP mentioned up because when Emily said they weren't quite A2 I had hoped that they might be the metric equivalent of your A2, our A6. But nope, they're not that either, which makes them very odd sizing.

Yes I also felt its odd size and so wanted to confirm. It felt like a good set.

Thanks for the reply Linda. Hero Arts was the first one that I checked. I remember watching it in some video on youtube. But being on a tight budget I decided to get the Gina Marie's dies. (Though honestly, I ended up spending $50 to save shipping instead of the hero arts $25.. :p)
