Sweet Dixie Fairy Tale Castle Cutting Die - SDD156

This die is designed for use with paper and cardstock. For embossing and stenciling, it works best with similar materials. Heavy chipboard or fabric may not be suitable.

Yes, this die is compatible with most leading die-cutting machines, including the Sizzix Big Shot, and should function as expected.

Wipe the die clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent rust.

This die is primarily designed for cutting and embossing. While some crafters may experiment with foiling techniques, its main purpose is not foiling.

The approximate size of the Fairy Tale Castle Cutting Die is 115 x 80mm.

This die was designed by Sue Dix.

This die is optimized for paper and cardstock. Cutting foam may require a more robust die or specialized machine and could potentially damage the die if not compatible.

Ensure you are using the correct plate combination for your die-cutting machine. You may need to add an extra shim or use a thicker cutting plate. Check if the die's cutting edge is clean and undamaged.

Try using an embossing mat or folder specific to your machine. Adjust the pressure settings if your machine allows, or try running the die through the machine a second time.

This can happen with very intricate dies. Ensure the paper is well-seated on the die and that the 'sandwich' is firm. Try running the die through the machine at a slightly slower pace, or consider using a thinner cardstock.

Use a die brush or a pick tool to gently push the cut-out pieces from the back of the die. Sometimes a light tap on a craft mat can help dislodge small pieces.
