thank you, Marietta! The project you see in the corner is just a sample we have showing how to arrange the dies to create a mandala. You can download a petal placement guide in the post. We hope you’ll find it helpful!
Kathy,
We understand your disappointment with not being able to see the actual dies on the blog post and we are too. However, the reason that we are not posting the actual, life-size, proportional images is not because we don’t want to. You may or may not be aware of a huge problem in the arts and crafts community as well as in many other creative industries where mostly Chinese factories and websites are using copyrighted designs, artwork, logos, trademarks and other Intellectual Property (IP) to copy, counterfeit and sell our designs as their own. They literally steal the artwork from the internet, make low quality often dysfunctional products and sell cheap junk in most cases. The only way that we have found to be an effective method to counteract this problem is to not show the actual art in a way that is easily copied or reproduced. We have tried many things but that tactic is the one that actually works. We are trying to show more of the finished and assembled projects, which are difficult to copy the die from an assembled project.
Sometimes they copy very closely and sell as our brand, sometimes they are way off and sell as our brand anyway. Then we often get the phone calls from upset customers who purchased counterfeit products from a willing website. Often the pieces don’t fit, the designs don’t work well together and some customers think it is our fault when it is the same as a counterfeit Rolex purchased on a NY street corner that stops working the first week. Needless to say it is not an easy problem to solve. Literally thousands of companies in hundreds of different industries are impacted. We are looking at various technology solutions to help us fight this problem but we, like almost every company in this industry, are a small business and it is a big problem.
We truly appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience to you, our valued customer. As politicians and lawmakers try to find a solution to the problem of counterfeit products, we trust that you will appreciate our efforts to try and stop this problem. We are diligently looking at solutions to fix this issue but until then, thank you for your understanding and support.
Kind Regards,
Team Spellbinders
Every month I anxiously wait to see the Small Die of the Month. I love them all and your tutorials are so helpful in helping me get started. So happy to be a member.
Looking at the collection of different die designs, my imagination is already running. So happy I’m a member! ?
I really like these dies. Can be used many ways. The small letters will be uses so much. Do I see another cute card coming using the other dies in kit that are cleverly placed in the corner of the screenshot?
