Default which die should I get?

I need opinions please. I am ordering the Big Shot this week but not the starter kit. I am getting the top note and little leaves die. I have another $20 - 25 to spend and want something else so what do you recommend that I get? Honestly, I don't stamp much anymore because I am in school fulltime now but I do make cards and an occassional little gift with my stamps. I also own almost all the punches in the catalog if that influences anything.

So what are your opinions?

Personally, I would recommend the Scallop Envelope die. It's small enough to embellish easily, and it's great when you just need a little notecard.

Do you know what size card it holds? I heard that it doesn't hold a gift card and that isn't a big deal to me. I have had the cute little vellum envlopes that I have had forever and can't think of how to use them but that may be because they are clear and I don't like the way things look in them when they are an embellishment on a card. I have seen really cute cards made with this die in the gallery.

Thanks!

More ideas, anyone?

I personally would get the new flower one that just came out on the first. It's soooo pretty!

If you buy a big tag then you can use it to make little scrapbooks.

Tri-fold it amd you get an envelope or a handbag.

Fold and cut on the lines and it becomes a book.

Add just a flower with a brad in the top and it looks good as just a tag.

I'm must admit i have lots of sizes of tags....

I would get the Top Notz die!

It is so great to make bag toppers with, and it really adds a lot to a card quickly!

I am leaning towards this one! But I keep wondering if maybe I should get another instead. The tags look cute and I wondered about those but I never use my tag punch and I have TONS of tags that I have had for a lllloooonnnnggg time from when we could buy the sheets of die cut ones from SU. I never use them so it makes me wonder if I would use the die. But I have made a few mini scrapbooks as gifts before.

Oh the stress!! LOL Why can't I just have it all????

I vote for either the butterflies Bigz or the "Lots of Tags" sizzlits. They're both SU exclusives (so you won't find them cheaper anywhere else like you can with the other dies), and either would make great accents for cards or other projects.
