I really enjoyed using this cover die! It completely fills an A2 card front and it was the perfect background for a throwback get well card for my brother-in-law!

ALTENEW PRODUCTS ARE GREAT

This die is so absolutely versatile! I've used it in 6 cards in two weeks! It looks completely different when flipped upside down or shown on a side view or angle! I love it!

I really love the look of the cover die and really wanted to use it as a white on white underlayer for cards featuring rainbows and other main elements, but I could not ever get the entire plate to cut. It would cut at the top and bottom 2 rows, but beyond that barely even an impression was left. I tried using all different weights of cardstock and any number of shims in any of the 3 different die cutting machines AI own and none of them would cut anything but the top and bottom one or two rows.

It’s a beautiful background die. However, like others who have used this die, I, too, have had a difficult time using this die. I’ve tried thick card stock and thinner card stock. I have yet to find the sweet spot to get a perfect cut with either type of card stock. I do have to run it through my machine a few times to get it to cut through thin and thick card. Any suggestions as to how to get a perfect cut with this die?
