How to Use Dies

Any kind of die project will require an automatic or hand-cranked cutting/embossing machine to cut. You must make a sandwich from your die, cardstock or other material, and two cutting pads. Press the sandwich by running it through your die-cutter.

Be sure that your machine is compatible in terms of size. Some dies are huge in terms of length and or width, while others are wafer-thin and require extra accessories for a clean cut. If you have any questions about which products and accessories go together, please don't hesitate to contact us.
