Today's Question: Do you own more punches or dies, and why?
My answer:  At the current moment, I own more punches than dies.  However, it has been several months since I have purchased any punches, while my die collection grows.  I think punches are more obtainable due to their size, and easy of use.  100% of my punches are Stampin' Up!, while 95% of my dies are Stampin' Up!  I love Stampin' Up! products, because they are of such great quality, and can help me create beautiful things!

I regularly check out your blog for inspirations, and I am doubly happy for the chance at blog candy. thank you!

I currently own more dies than punches, and I actually like them better. However, the ease of use for the punches and the ability to place them more easily when I'm trying to use up my scraps means they will always make me happy, too!

Hi Sharon, I currently own more punches than dies. While not all of them are stampin up, I have recently started buying only the stampin up punches as they coordinate so well with everything. I do more embossing folders than dies really...but who knows what I'll focus on this year!

I have WAY more punches than dies and about 98% of them are Stampin Up. I can't say enough about the great quality of their punches, they are so much better than the few others I have. I like punches because they are so easy to just grab and punch plus they're easier to transport. With the dies you have to have some sort of die cutting machine. Thanks again for the chance at some blog candy.

I have no dies, and only about 4 punches. Most of my cutting I do by hand or with my electronic die cutter.

I have many more punches than dies. Punches are easier to use (for me anyway). I can get some at Michaels for a reasonable price with a coupon. Also my punches are displayed in my craft room on metal poles so they are more visible than my dies, which are all in a container I have to dig thru to find the one I want. Thanks for a chance to win.

I own more punches... I like the punches because I can just grab one and punch and not dig out my die cutting machine... But I love my die cutting machine.
