I prefer the dies but the ease of punches….does that even make sense?!?
I am learning to like punches better for workshops or events and I was many, many hours die cutting for last month’s card buffet!! Love the dies for detailed images.
I like both of them but punches are easier and faster. Have a great weekend!!!!
My all time favorite item is the owl punch .but really enjoyed the window die with all the small stamps that go so well with it. so versatile.
congratulations Roxanne and that is a tough question. I love my dies but punches are great for a quick and handy cut.
I much prefer dies as they are so versatile.
Definitely punches. Much more efficient!
I have a lot of dies, but I really prefer punches because they are so much faster to use.
My preference is punches. Although they take up a lot more room, they are much quicker to use than dies. But I love my dies too for other reasons!
I dont have a preference if I had to chose I would pick punches because there is so many punch art items and they are fun to make
It depends on the amount of cards I’m doing. Love the details of the dies, but time and many prefer punches. Thanks for a chance to win the blog candy. Always wanted that stamp set.
I guess it depends on the card I am making. Punches and dies are equal in my world.
I love dies! They make the job so much easier!
I much prefer the punches as they are quicker to use, however, if I have any dies to cut, my hubby will do the cutting for me! LOL He prefers the dies
I am just starting out but i love the punches can’t wait to do many projects
Dies are my favorite!
Really like both but punches are faster!
Amy, love love love the snowflake in this set! Sure would love to make some Christmas gifts and cards with this set!
I love dies with coordinating stamp sets!
Your blog candy for today is one of my favorites, too. And I prefer punches. Dies are very helpful, but I like a single punch in hand.
I do like the dies, but if making a number of card, punches will always be preferable because they are easier and faster to use.
I prefer the ease of punches but there aren’t punches that’ll do what those intricate dies do!
Over all, I prefer the dies, as you consistently get a cleaner line that you do with punches.
I love the details that you can get with the dies now instead of punches.
I love dies because the varieties are incredible
Punches! Love dies, but the ease of use of a punch is ideal for quick card making…especially a circle punch!
Dies! I have dozens and I love them! Time-saving and gorgeous, too!!
Love, love, love punches! The versatility of using a punch for quick and easy card making can’t be beat. However, I do feel that we have many more choices in the new dies so lately I have been using many, many, more dies. The new ones are outstanding!
My punches have been collecting dust lately. It’s definitely dies for me!
You always have such great ideas with directions that are easy to follow.

I started with punches but dies are now my favorite!
I love the punches because they are quick to use. But I also really like the dies because of the intricate pieces you get after you run them through your Big Shot.
I really love the punches because they are so fast to get what you need. But I also like the dies because they have such detailed touches.
really love the dies, but, punches are my quick go to!
I love the new dies but I prefer to use the punches because they are easier to grab, punch and move on to building the card!
I am torn between the punches &dies/framelits. Punches are quick and require nothing more, but the dies/framelits are so much easier to store and do more intricate cutting. Thanks for sharing so many of your beautiful creations.
I prefer the dies because of the larger detailed pieces that I can get. But those punches are quicker!!
I love punches because they’re quicker and easier! But dies don’t take up as much storage space 🙂 btw, love the hostess card from this morning 🙂
I have a lot of punches but I LOVE dies. they are easier to store and a little more flexible when cuting out sentiments and images. thanks for everything you share on your blog and for the chance to win this wonderful set.
Thanks for the opportunity to celebrate your anniversary with you ! I love my dies – but when making bulk cards (like at Christmas), punches go quicker . . .
Dies are my favorite! I especially like the bundles that have matching stamps to go with!
Hi Amy ,,,,I leave in the northern part off Maine. Love your cards …..I love to use dies . Keep up the good work…….charlene
It is really a toss up.Today it would be dies. Dies are great, no fussy cutting, easier to store but not as convenient (I don’t have a designated craft room).
Dies, dies, dies!!! I love how they make a project come together.
Love your Blog! I love the dies because you are not restricted by them except for the requirement of a machine.
Difficult choice, but I find myself using punches the mist.
I love dies. You have more detail in them and can use them in many ways.
I love both…….but punches are sooo quick. Happy 4th blogaversary Amy!!!!
thanks for sharing and for all of your hard work.
hugs
I prefer punches… mainly because I don’t want to scar, mark, scratch, (etc.) my Big Shot plates (I know, I know, I could buy another set!! I guess I’m just weird that way!)
I prefer for punches for speed and ease of use, but I love the details and sizes available with dies.
