I want to get one of the "leaves" style dies.. In the SU catalog they have the Little Leaves Sizzlit die for $4.95 and the Sweetest Stem Embosslit Die for $11.95. Has anybody purchased either of these and have any comments? Thanks for your help!
It just goes to show you that people have different preferences. I saw the sweetest stem at my demo's house. It looks as though it would be a good match to the wedding set, the one that has mr. and mrs. and the circle of leaves in it. I think that I would prefer the little leaves which looks more like actual leaves. The sweetest stem is a more stylized version. It does have the option of inking or chalking the raised portion for a different look.
It seems that if you use an embossed flower, then the Sweetest Stems is the way to go. I wanted to use the leaves with Prima flowers and other die-cut flowers, so I'm leaning toward Little Leaves.
I have both of these dies. Here's a sample of the Sweetest Stems and one with the Little Leaves.
The stem and flower is elegant and can be made to stand alone on a card. The leaves are versatile and I envision combining them with many other images - flowers or birds, or even just words. just mho, hope this helps!
I have the embosslit and love it. But, I'm with Cindy and will be purchasing Little Leaves too. I think since it is not embossed, I'll use it for layering more than I would with the embosslit.
