QK: 2x2, 4x4 and cookie cutter - both fonts and shapes in all seizes
BossKuts: fonts and shapes
Sizzix: originals (no Bigz yet as I got my Big Shot only three weeks ago) Sizzlits & Ellison thin cuts and decorative strips, again both fonts and shapes
Cuttlebug: a few 3x3 and 2x2 shapes
ZipeMate: a few of every kind of dies they had including 4 fonts. There were some great Zipesnaps designs I'm so glad I got before they retired.

cutting dies do you own? double do and 2 davyray dies!! Hi Angelique, Can you please take a pix of the double do and davyray dies and post for us? I haven't heard of those. Thanks! QK: 2x2, 4x4 and cookie cutter - some ~15 fonts and "ton" of shapes in all sizes My mom gifted me with ellison medical die set - cuttlekids pirate set -10 or 11 b bosskut shapes/expressions A few of the Delta cuts shapes (small & large) similar to QK & Tinkerdies, only round in shape and a tad smaller than QK - there are pros and cons but I like the shapes I got! One die - I don't know if it is spellbinders or zippy. My mom loves sizzix - she has borders, sizzlets, alphabets, "ton" of shapes in all sizes too. She just got the new cross one and told me she ordered the new Sizzix pirate ship  Then she broke down and told me, I hope you haven't ordered any new QK, well you haven't showed me any new ones, etc...... she goes on to tell me, "I guess I'm gonna have to tell you because I don't want you to duplicate, I bought the QK rev cement truck!" I'm glad I didn't get that one yet! I was waiting until I got my layaways taking care of. My mom started with QK but had a hard time using them so she switched to Sizzix. |

Never heard of Delta cuts/ I have Quickutz, Sizzix, Ellisondesign, Cuttlebug, Double Do, Tinker & Co, DaveyRay, Go Kreate, Accucuts, custom wooden dies (Cross cuts made) and Bosskut. Cheryle, the Double Do dies are made by Avec in the Netherland. The DaveyRay and Go Kreate dies are British brands, just like Tinker & Co, they come in different sizes, but are just like Quickutz dies and are made to work best in the Revolution. I am not sure if I am allowed to post a link to a UK website that sells them. But I can email you a link if you wanna see! ;D They do not ship outside the UK, but if you ever need any then I would be more than happy to help you get them.  |

Double Do dies are a brand released by the dutch Kars company.. but they aren't doing very well. Some of the images are just yuck, but I managed to get a small collection of acceptable dies. I even have a swan!!!
I have tried to find some piccies, but there aren't even piccies left on the site of Kars, so I guess they don't longer carry them.
they look a lot like the bosskut dies!!

Oh yes, the Double Do. What happened to the Angelique? What happened to me??? Nothing, I am still here. I think the double do dies were taken out of production. Due to lack of interest I guess. |

they stopped producing dies i guess. Or at least carry the name Double Do no more. I haven't seen them in stores lately. Only on shows, and there they are always on sale.
I have a few. Because the had some shapes that QK didn't have. Hot air balloon, swan, marathon runner, owl (!) and some others

Of course, tons of QK. Besides that I've collected some of the Bosskuts, and a few sisslets. I bought way back a little sidekick because I wasn't sure I wanted anything else. So, it's not used too much. Oh, and I just bought my first spellbinders nestabilities - the stars. They go through my revolution like a charm.

Angelique, I've seen quite a bit DoubleDo pop up in online shops here recently. They carry the borders (sorry, I think most of them are ugly) but no individual shapes. The machine seems quite popular but mostly promoted for dry embossing. It's on German QVC a lot and their "celebrities" make incredibly cutesy cards with it - ugh  |

Never heard of Delta cuts/ What are Delta cuts? Never heard of 'em. What do you think of the Delta Cuts? These are the Delta Cuts. The only "con" that I have is the foam is larger than the dies and I have to trim it off. I got their "kick boxer" die and made 25 die cuts off the bat and they came out really nice and sent them out to a friend. The dies are round in shape and slightly smaller than the QK dies. I'm gonna post two pictures of the dies that I have as well as the "marketing info" that they had. They are at some type of craft show right now.   Delta Cuts dies are compatible with all full size die cutting machines with a platform width of atleast 3.5". What are Delta Cuts? Delta Cuts are the newest dies to the craft industry. Delta Cuts are thin "wafer" dies that can cut paper, cardstock, vinyl and thin felts. Delta Cuts dies are 3.33" in circumference. The avaerage size of a cutout from a Quackerqutz die is 2-2.75". DIRECTIONS FOR USE Delta Cuts dies arrive to you with the ejection foam attached. All yo have to do take the die out of the package and use it. How do I know Delta Cuts will work with my machine? We have tested Delta Cuts with every machine available, and they work perfectly. Here is a quick reference guide Ellison/Sizzix--2 cutting plates will be needed. Place die foam side down on your paper and procede to cutm like you would any other wafer style die. Quickutz Revolution--Delta Cuts dies work perfectly in the Revolution. Use them the same way you would use Quickutz dies just remember to place foam side up! Cuttlebug--Delta Cuts dies work perfectly in the Cuttlebug. Use them the same way you would use Cuttlebug dies just remember to place foam side up! Bosskut--We do not recommend using the Bosskut machine, as our dies are not compatible with that machine. Sidekick--Our dies are not compatible with the sidekick, although we will be releasing a line of smaller dies in June that will work with the sidekick perfectly. Squeeze--We do not recommend using the Squeeze at this time, although we will be releasing a smaller version of our die in June that will be compatible! How often do you release new dies? We release new dies on a regular basis. We limit the production of our dies so that your layouts are as original as you are. |

I have Accucut - which I rarely use, not to happy with them. I also have Sizzix, Bosskut, Cuttlebug and my favorite Quickutz. Plus 2 electronic cutters with a 3rd on the way.
So the next question is when is enough, enough?
