I love the chestnut tree die set and have waited a long time for it to go on sale. The birdbath and cute birds are a bit fussy to put together, but so worth it! I've made lots of birds with different colored cardstock, and also with painted white cardstock. The embossing folder works great and makes a very nice background scene. The stencil set is harder to use than many other stencils because you can't tell where the flowers are going to end up on the page unless you die cut the bouquet shape first. But once you line it up, they come out nicely. Personally, I prefer stencil sets that line up easier; this is the only reason I rated this kit 4 stars instead of 5.
