Full details
The Marianne Design Rubber Duck Die (LR0333) is an ideal choice for card makers and scrapbookers who specialize in whimsical, children-themed, or bath-time inspired paper craft projects. This set provides high-quality stencil cuts and embossing capabilities, making it a reliable tool for adding charming embellishments to handmade cards. A key caveat to note is that because these dies are small, they require careful placement and potential use of an adhesive pick-up tool to handle the delicate cutouts during assembly.

FAQs
Does this set include a machine to cut the shapes?
No, the Marianne Design LR0333 is a set of metal dies (stencils) that require a separate die-cutting machine to operate.
Can I use these dies to cut felt?
While intended for paper, these dies may cut thin, stiffened felt, but you may need multiple passes through the machine.
What are the dimensions of the rubber duck dies?
The large duck is approximately 66mm x 66mm and the small duck is approximately 39mm x 39mm.
Are these dies magnetic?
The dies themselves are made of metal and will stick to a magnetic base, but they are not inherently magnetized.
How do I store these small dies?
It is best to store them on a magnetic storage sheet within a clear plastic envelope to prevent losing the smaller pieces.
Troubleshooting
The die is not cutting all the way through the paper.
Add a metal shim to your sandwich to increase the cutting pressure or run the die through the machine a second time.
Paper fibers are stuck in the die grooves.
Use a specialized die brush or a pair of fine-tipped tweezers to carefully remove stuck paper particles.
The paper is tearing during the cutting process.
Reduce the pressure by removing a shim or switching to a lighter weight cardstock.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality steel construction for longevity
- Versatile for both cutting and embossing
- Works with most standard die-cutting machines
- Perfect size for children's greeting cards and scrapbook layouts
Cons
- Requires a separate manual die-cutting machine to operate
- Small parts may be difficult to handle for those with limited dexterity
- Does not include an magnetic shim or storage sheet
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up these dies, place your cardstock on the cutting surface, position the Marianne Design die with the cutting side (the ridge) facing down, and cover with the appropriate cutting plates as dictated by your specific machine. If you find the die is not cutting through completely, a thin metal shim can be added to increase pressure.
Compatibility:
These dies are compatible with major systems such as the Sizzix Big Shot, Spellbinders Platinum, and similar hand-cranked or electronic die-cutting machines.
Care Instructions:
- Avoid using harsh chemicals to clean the dies; a dry soft brush is usually sufficient to remove paper fibers.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from moisture to prevent rust.
- Use a magnetic sheet for storage to ensure the small dies are not misplaced.
