FAQs

What materials can these dies cut?

These dies are primarily designed for cutting cardstock. They may be able to cut thin craft foam or other thin paper crafting materials, but compatibility is best with cardstock.

How do I clean the dies?

Wipe the dies clean with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth after each use. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent rust.

Can these dies be used with electronic die-cutting machines?

While designed for manual die-cutting systems, they can often be used with electronic machines if the machine has a manual blade depth adjustment or can accommodate wafer-thin dies in a specific setting. Consult your electronic machine's manual.

What are the exact dimensions of each candle die?

The set includes four candle dies with approximate dimensions: 6 x 56 mm, 17 x 58 mm, 32 x 61 mm, and 25 x 61 mm.

Are these dies suitable for beginners?

Yes, as long as you have a compatible die-cutting machine, these dies are straightforward to use and are excellent for adding detailed elements to beginner craft projects.

Can I use these dies for non-Christmas crafts?

While themed for Christmas, the candle shapes can be incorporated into other designs, such as birthday cards, memorial crafts, or even general decorative elements, depending on your creative vision.

Troubleshooting

Die not cutting through cardstock completely

Ensure you are using the correct plate combination for your die-cutting machine. You may need to add a shim (thin piece of cardstock or paper) to increase pressure or run the die through the machine an additional time.

Cardstock tearing or getting stuck in the die

Check if the die is dull or if too much pressure is being applied. Try reducing the pressure slightly or using a slightly thinner cardstock. Ensure the cardstock is placed flat and smoothly before cutting.

Difficulty removing cut pieces from the die

Use a die-brush tool or a fine-point craft tool to gently push out the cut pieces from the die. Be careful not to scratch the die surface.

Die appears to be rusting

This set is made of metal and should be kept dry. If rust spots appear, try gently cleaning them with a metal polish designed for crafting tools, then dry thoroughly and store properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To use the Candles Set CR1426, place your chosen cardstock onto the die. Position the die and cardstock between the cutting plates of your die-cutting machine. Follow your machine's instructions for the correct pressure and number of passes needed to achieve a clean cut. Ensure the die is oriented correctly for the desired candle shape.

Compatibility: This die set is designed to work with most leading brands of manual die-cutting systems. It is recommended to consult your die-cutting machine's manual to confirm compatibility with wafer-thin dies, which this set is. Always check the maximum material thickness your machine can accommodate.

Care: After use, carefully remove any paper scraps from the die. Store the dies flat in a dry place, ideally in a die storage binder or case, to prevent bending or damage. Avoid exposing the dies to moisture, as this can lead to rust.
