I absolutely love them. I got the set as soon as the new Cuttlebug stuff was at my local Michael's. My ? is... what is the best way to put the pieces together easily, meaning the little dots, leaves and flowers? I cut out several of each die in my chosen colors (I used 3 colors) then I decided what arrangement and color combos I liked, then the gluing started and trying to place those tiny tiny pieces in their places. It came out beautiful, but a bit of a challenge. So should I be using a certain type of glue, or use paper with adhesive on the back? Any advice would be appreciated.

Dina - I just got done making a card with these new Paisley dies ( and I love them) - I used a Sakura Quickie Glue pen with a Pinpoint roller - its like a ball point pen that dispenses glue - I picked it up at a LSS and it worked really well to attached the little flowers and dots --

Thanks Carol. I'll have to look for one. I had many glue pens in the past and they didn't work very well. So I'm happy to hear that this one works.

My Michaels has them, if they're not out of stock. But it's a brand new Mikes--only a month old--so we get all the cool new stuff. Now if only they'd hold on to what I want until I get there!

Amy, Just FYI, our Ms is out of the paisley dies. I checked Boise too but no luck! I sure wish they would get more of those $1 clear stamp sets too! It is cool to have an Ms so close now, though!

I have the glue pen and had only thought of using it for glitter...like oye! Makes perfect sense for the little pieces of the layered dies. Thanks for sharing!!!!

Would anyone consider cutting some of the new paisley for me in chocolate chip, very vanilla, and chocolate chip cs? I don't have a cuttlebug. I would be willing to pay for them. Thanks, Sandy
Another thing you could do after you've cut your dies is to take a piece of repositionable tape and lay it sticky side up. Then put your paisley pieces together (upside down) on the tape. Then you can take a piece of permanent double stick tape (or your ATG gun) and put it on the back of your paisley. Pull the repositionable tape up with the paisley still stuck, turn it over and now you can put your paisley wherever you want on your card. And you can re-use your repositionable tape.
