Just wondering who has this die and if they think it is worth the $$. Can't decide if I want to spend the money to buy it when I can cut/score one without the die.
I think it'd be worth it if you're planning on making a bunch of them. I've been thinking about getting it too. I might use them as wedding favors, so the die would be a HUGE time saver.
I don't have it yet, but after playing with it at a friend's house I think I will get it this month while we also can get the special. It is bigger than I thought it would be, and I can see using to for lots of things. The one I made is already storing all the little tags we cut out that day, and it was especially helpful that pattystamps had a tute that showed how to get TWO boxes out of each sheet of 12 x 12 paper. I had hesitated to buy it because I had read that you had to use two sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 per box with lots of waste, or use one sheet of 12 x 12. Now it is soooo easy to get two boxes per sheet of 12 x 12. I have already made my template even though I don't have the die yet! I am planning to make a bunch for my niece, who sells Lia Sophia, to package her hostess jewelry in! And of course, don't forget candy and favors!
Here is what I said there: I don't own it and wasn't going to buy it. That was only until I saw some fabulous little "dressers" made with it. I will be ordering later this month...and getting my free item, too!

I just got mine today and have only had time to make one box out of some scrap paper and transperencies I had and it is AWESOME! Took like no time to fold together and is just the cutest!!!!! It works great, can't wait to pick stuff up to put in them. Making little gifts for my first workshop in May. Hate to be an enabler but get it!!!!
I ordered this die with the BigShot and it's on its way to me now.
Now I'm even more excited than I was!
These little dressers are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO adorable!!!!
I'm putting together a baby shower for my niece and already had some pillowboxes to put together as favors....BUT the wheels are turning now on how to use this matchbox die for the shower too!
yippeee!!!!!

Well, you sure convinced me and my ds, who is 6 years old, was leaning over my shoulder "ooohing & awwing" over these too. lol I'm thinking this would be great to make an advent calendar for Christmas! Thanks for posting the examples!
