Great set and cuts well. I didn't realize there was a cutting guide, so I spent a little more time than necessary trying to figure it all out. The end results were worth the effort, though. I really like the Happy Birthday letters with outline--a good size to use by itself and easy to customize by color, glitter paper, etc. Some of the pieces are really small, so it helps to have reverse tweezers or jewel pick when assembling. I used glue but you could put double sided adhesive paper on it before cutting and assemble the little parts that way. Would be cute as 3D.
