This is my only floral mold so my opinion is limited. I have made dozens of flowers using the mold and find the results very nice. The petal layer, I use 5 or 6 petals dies/punches, need to be lightly sprayed with water and set aside while spray more petal layrs that I am pressing. The petal layers can be molded with the stamped or colored side upward or downward. The mold leaves very nice creases from the tip to the center and a nice curve to each petal. The mold works well with my BigKick, I use two clear plates. Opinion: This is a good tool for making flowers.

I found it challenging to fit the Arianna Blooms into the flower shapes, the mold is meant more for Poppies, rather than the Arianna Blooms. Arianna doesn't have all the small sizes that the mold has so that wasn't positive for me, I really like small flowers. It did add excellent embossing to the flowers, I had to shim with thin cardboard pkg, in my bigshot machine. Not my favourite of the molds, I don't feel it was worth the cost for me, because of the small amount of sizes of flowers in Arianna, there were a lot of empty spaces that I couldn't fill and I don't have anything that would fit in those spaces.

The shaping molds are expensive. However, after spraying the flowers with water and placing the cuts into the molds, the flowers came out great. I was able to do several flowers at one time. I did mark the molds top and bottom which makes it easier to place together. If you like to make flowers the basic shaping molds work well.

I like this item. It was easy to use. I struggled getting through my die cutting machine though. I don't have the exact flowers for this mold, so some of them overlapped a little, but they still looked nice.
