Alphabet dies

[dina]

Hello everyone,
its me again... :-)

I have couple question dancing in my head...

1) Do you know any alphabet die measured around 1.18"(w) x 1.18"(h)? And, I want it in seperate pieces.

2) I saw Cheery Lyn Design's alphabet dies with black background in the picture. Are they glued with foam or what?

3) Do you know where to find AllStar dies?

Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

From Malaysia with Love,
Dina

Hi Dina, I have seen Ellison Allstar products. I would contact Sizzix for these.

Dina, the Ellison products seem to be marketed mainly for the classroom. So like others have said, you will probably need to contact them directly. If you have a teacher's resource store in your area, they may be able to help you.

If you like that font, search around the Die-Versions, Quickutz/Lifestyle Crafts and Sizzix fonts for something similar. Those will be easier to get (you know Scrapy Land ships to you!)

If you look on the website, the Die-Versions fonts have their size listed. But they aren't a separate piece for each letter--they are on 4x4 or 4x8 inch dies. There are lots of older Quickutz dies that are on individual dies. Most of the classic sized fonts are about 1". Dani gets them in from time to time (watch the sales especially) and ebay is another source. Sizzix also has some fonts that are on individual dies.

The only thing I would caution you about is that they individual dies take up more storage space. Not as big of a deal with the QK dies, but those Sizzix dies can take up a lot of space (and cost more to ship.) The good thing about many letters on one die is that it's harder to lose just one letter--you don't have small pieces that can fall on the floor or into the trash bin.

As you start collecting different fonts and dies, you will find what works for you.

Ellison has their own website you can check out too.
