These are the dies cut and embossed.
I found that they cut better using the sandwich A / C / Die cut side up / card / B
The dies are cheaper than the Spellbinder dies and they are not as sturdy, but the cut and embossing I found quite satisfactory, and the designs are lovely.
This is how I used one of the dies to make a card base
. Despite the poor picture, I think you will see they are very effective.
My thanks to all who have left comments this week, your imput is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately at times I cannot get back to you if you have a query or suggestion if you do not have a blog, or leave me an email address. So I will continue to leave messages for you either on my Tippy Thursday post, or on the comments page where you left your query. Hopefully this will work - if not....I'll think of something else!
Alexandra: Your suggestion was interesting and I think I have tried or seen something similiar, but I would love to see your work and if possible share it with other Cuttlers. Could you leave me a contact on the comments page please.

I too have these dies and have been wondering just how to use them. Now I know!! Thank you so much for the inspiration.

Thanks for the sandwich tip. I have a couple of Joycraft dies, & have been struggling to get them to cut well, but I've been using A/B/card/die cut side down/C so I could see where the die was. I'll try it your way and see if I get a better result.

I have the butterflies from Joy and you are right, they are not as sturdy as the Spellbinder's dies - but if yu handle them with care, they are quite beautiful
