FAQs
What materials can I cut with this die?
This die is designed for paper and cardstock. For best results, use materials within the weight limits recommended by your die-cutting machine's manufacturer.
How many skeletons can I make?
The set comprises four dies. You can create multiple individual components to build as many skeletons as you have paper and time for, or one complete skeleton with accessories.

What are the dimensions of the finished skeleton?
The exact dimensions depend on how the poseable parts are assembled, but it is designed to be a suitable size for standard card fronts and scrapbook pages.
Is this suitable for beginners?

Can I combine this die with other Sweet Dixie dies?
Yes, this die is designed to complement other crafting products. You can integrate its elements with other Sweet Dixie dies or similar themed dies for more complex projects.
Troubleshooting
Die not cutting cleanly
Ensure you have the correct plate combination for your die-cutting machine. Try adding a shim (a thin piece of cardstock) to your sandwich. Check if the die is positioned correctly on the cutting surface.
Paper tearing during cut
The die might be too sharp for the paper type, or the cutting pressure is too high. Try a thinner paper or a less intense pressure setting if your machine allows. Ensure the paper is lying flat.
Difficulty assembling poseable parts
Refer to any included diagrams or visual guides. Use a fine-tip glue or adhesive tape for precise attachment of small parts. Allow adhesive to dry completely before posing.
