I love dies. They add so much creativity to a card.
I like them both lol. thanks for a chance to win!
I like the ease of punches, but nothing beats the details you get with dies.
I like punches a little better.
Hi Amy. I really like both. I think dies are a bit easier to use and have a lot more detail. Thanks for all you do.
The variety of dies is amazing and they add so much to cards, but having the simplicity of just punching out an image (like the cookie cutter stamps) can be a real time saver when you are making a lot of cards.
i like dies better than punches. They are easier to store and you get more for your dollar.
I love, love, love dies – so simple to use and the results are great.
Happy Anniversary! I wish we lived closer so I could meet you in person
Hi Amy,
I enjoy the dies when I am working on several cards or a special cards. If I’m in a hurry I can always grab a punch and make one card fast.
Punch or die cuts. A hard choice to make.
Must say both.
IF I have a punch that works for what I want to do I will use the punch.
IF I want fancy I’ll chose die cuts if I have it.
Not having a lot of either I’m known to to fussy cut!
While I would hate to totally give up my punches, I’d have to say that dies are my preference because they are more versatile in their placement on the paper. With punches I am somewhat limited in their placement but I sure do love how quick and easy they are when I need a large quantity of cut out images.
I like using punches better, because for me, they are so much easier. Just Grab it and punch. But now that I have a room to craft in, dies will be easier, because my die cut machine is set up…yay!!!. I do like storing dies better. Thanks Amy for all the cute cards that you share.
I Love both punches and dies; but, LOVE all the details and elegance of the dies!
Happy 4th Anniversary, again!
I like both but dies give you more things to punch for your money.
Hard to decide just between one, because they both have their advantages and disadvantages. I think I like the punches better on simple things basic shapes and outlines if there is only one thing on the punch or it matches the stamped image other wise you seem to waste paper. Then dies for more detail work or multiple items
I like both. But the dies can be stored so much easier.
I love to use the dies, thanks for a chance to win .
I prefer punches, but love the dies as well. Thank you for your generosity!
I love punches and I love dies but I would say that I use dies the most.
I love them both, thanks for a chance to win.
I love so many of the dies. Some I use over and over. I do like punches , but right now dies are my favorite.
Love the dies! I’ve purposely placed my Big Shot across the room so I have to get up out my chair….gotta get a little exercise!! 🙂
Oh wow, this is a tough one…punches or dies. I like them both and they each serve a purpose. Punches are quick and easy to use while dies add more detail to a finished product. I’d love to win this great blog candy. One can never have enough “stamping toys!”
That’s a toughie! I guess I like the dies better, but I’ll never give up my punches! This is a most versatile bundle that you are offering, today. Thank you!!!
Hi Amy… I love the dies and all the coordinating stampsets…I still like punches but dies are my go to favorite….
It depends. If I am doing only one cut out, a punch is quick and easy. But for mass production, dies are definitely the way to go! Plus the dies offer so much more in intricate designs./
Punches are easier to grab for a quick accent, but when I am making multiples, I tend to use dies… So both! Thanks for a chance to win!
Hi, Amy! I love the intricacy of dies but the ease of using the punches wins in my book! thank you!
I like them both. Punches are quicker but dies are wow!
I love dies.
Happy Anniversary ! I love both but since all the dies are available I use them alot more. I have had this bundle on my wish list. I would LOVE to win.
Hi, Amy! Congrats on 4 years! That’s wonderful and I do look forward to & enjoy your daily posts. I really love the dies as they give so much versatility and so easy to store. But punches definitely have their place as well. I would hate to do without either of them!
I enjoy your ideas and have made some and saved some for the future….
The dies have more detail, but I can take punches with me when traveling. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hi Amy,
Tough question, because I love (and WANT!) them all (dies and punches)!!! I like the way the dies are so easy to store, but I think punches win out! Punches are faster and easier to use. Most importantly, punches are portable! I tend to make multiples of things (for teachers, as party favors, etc.), so it’s nice to be able to punch in front of the tv. I also travel with my punches.
Thank you for another fun giveaway!
Crafty hugs,

I wouldn’t be without either one.
I like both punches and dies. Although I prefer punches because they are usually quicker and less detailed but still great for adding to a card front.
Hi, Amy. Punches are easier to use but the dies allow so much more..so I vote for the dies!
Thanks
punches are the best when you are mass producing a card but the dies have so much intricate detail for that special card….frankly like many others I love both!
I think I prefer the dies. I have them stored right at my fingertips in my desk drawer and the punches are just not as convenient to store. Thanks for being a kind and generous demonstrator. All the best to you, Amy.
That’s impossible. I love the ease of Punches, but the variations that dies can give!! thanks!
I would rather use a punch, but there are so many dies to pick from—so I guess I like the dies .
I love that Stampin Up coordinates thinlets with Stamp sets. So many possibilities!
I really, really like them both! If I have to pick one I guess it would be dies. Thanks for a chance to win this awesome set!
I like dies a little better. Mostly because of the stamp sets that you can bundle with them. Thanks for a chance to win!
Dies, dies . . . and more dies! 🙂
Hi Amy,
I like them both for different reasons. The dies because I can get matching stamp sets with the dies. The punches because they are fast and easy, like a quick round punch for instance.
Thank you!
I remember when I was scrapbooking years ago. I had to have every die cut out there. Still awed that I can now make my own die cuts. I love diess! Punches my be a little handier, but dies and especially when they coordinate with a stamp set – whoo-hoooooo! Thanks for the chance to win some fabulous blog candy and happy anniversary. Hope you celebrate many more wonderful years with Stampin UP!
Punches are great but I prefer dies! Thanks for the chance to win and Happy Anniversary!
