They're little combo dies 1 3/8 x 4 1/2'', drawing on the left and flat on the right. The light was too intense on the vid to see them well.....The drawing die side has a gap about 3/32'' so the points and the spreading of the leaf can't get pinched. I only use these die for smallish leaves. I've got a set even smaller but making ity bity leaves in the PH gets to be harder than making them by hand so I rarely if ever use them.
