The metal dies are designed to cut through paper, cardstock, tissue paper, vellum, and foil.

Yes, you will need a compatible die-cutting and embossing machine. This set works with the Crafter's Companion Mini, Midi, Junior, and Gemini II models.

Yes, the stencil can be used with various mediums such as inks, embossing pastes, glitter, or even chalks, depending on the desired effect.

Align the stencil with the pre-cut box components, looking for registration marks or cut edges on the stencil that correspond to the die-cut shapes. You may wish to use a light adhesive spray or tape to hold the stencil in place temporarily.

The set is primarily designed to create a decorative, heart-shaped candy gift box, suitable for gifting or as a decorative keepsake.

The set includes 15 metal dies and one stencil.

This set is designed to create a specific size of candy box as dictated by the dies. For different sizes, you would need alternative die sets.

Ensure the die-cutting sandwich is correctly assembled with appropriate plates. Check if the die is placed with the cutting edge facing the material. Try passing the sandwich through the machine a second time or adjusting plate pressure if your machine allows.

Ensure the stencil is flat and secured before applying ink or medium. Use a dabbing motion with a sponge or brush rather than a sweeping one. Clean any excess medium from the stencil edges before it dries.

Double-check that all pieces were cut precisely using the dies. Ensure you are following the correct assembly order and aligning tabs and slots carefully. Score lines might need gentle reinforcement with a bone folder.

Ensure dies are thoroughly dried after cleaning and stored in a dry environment. If minor rust appears, gently clean with a metal polish or fine-grit sandpaper, then apply a thin layer of oil for protection.
