I have about 15. My most used ones are the flowery type ones.

Depends on what cards you make.

flowers deffo
teddies- kiddy birthdays, Christmas in a red felt santa hat, new births, Baptism
Something for the boys- frogs or trains
hearts (wedding, valentines, birthdays for loved ones)

Work out how many occasions you can use a die for: over three then it's worth having

great tips. Thanks. I am assuming Ebay is a good place to get it cheaper.

Might pay to shop around anyway, seeing as it has been superceded by the Big Shot.

Red doll body - is a must

Get the shorts set & turn it into a footballer (or any other sportsman/woman !)

Easily made into a fairy / angel / princess etc etc
