Sizzix Fold-along Owl shaped card in Purples

I sent this card to my sister recently.  I was very excited about this die until I received it.  I looked up a youtube tutorial on the die and learned maybe I should have watched the video before I purchased.  I recognized the same inadequacies as that crafter who did the video.  I am a little disappointed at having to use the reverse cut for the opposite side.  I heavily chalked the edges to cover up the differences.  I also had problems with the coating coming off and I only used this die for the one card!!!!  It is cute and I doubt the coating will make a significant difference but I don't think I have ever noticed that problem on dies before.

It is a super cute card but I am not so excited to get the other shapes as I was initially.

Sizzix Thinlits Fold-a-long Owl
