Product Review: Sizzix Scallop Dies

For years now Sizzix has been a leader in the scrapbooking industry.  They are a name we all know, and their quality has never been anything but top notch, in my opinion.  I was very excited to see their new line of scallop-shaped dies hit the market.

These jumbo-sized dies are amazing! They cut through the thickest cardstock like it was butter, and the edges are so crisp! 

These new dies also feature a clear acrylic back so you can easily get the perfect placement, and a convenient finger hole to help pop your shape out once you've cut it.

At the Scrapbook.com Superstore you'll find the following shapes available:

• Circle
• Square
• Long Rectangle Card
• Nested Ovals
• Nested Circles
• Gift Bag
• Border Strips

Ranging in price from $19.99 to just over $30.00, these dies are an exceptional value.  Think of all the great projects you can complete with these guys: mini books, banners, gift bags and tags, scrapbook layouts, greeting cards and home décor projects to name a few!

Here is a sweet little project I recently made that used one of my new favorite Sizzix dies.

Supplies:

• die - Sizzix, Scallop Square
• journal page - Making Memories
• crystal heart - BasicGrey
• mini letters - Making Memories
• lace
• metal butterfly charm

This is a nice quick layout featuring my girls.  This Sizzix die was perfect to use as a decorative element.

Supplies:

• die - Sizzix, Scallop Circle
• cardstock - Bazzill
• patterned paper - Die Cuts With a View
• chipboard letters - Bo Bunny Press, Chunky Chips, Denim
• mini calendar page, and where ticket - Jenni Bowlin Studios
• white gel pen - Uniball Signo

Between the ease of use, and the sturdy quality of these dies I think you'll be really happy if you pick a few of them up to try.  Beware though... once you start collecting them you're going to fall in love and want them all!
