The dog element of the die measures approximately 74mm in height.
Can I use this die with any die-cutting machine?

What materials can this die cut?

How should I store this die?
Store the die in its original clamshell packaging or a dedicated die storage system in a dry environment to protect its sharp edges.
Can this die be used for embossing?
Yes, it can be used for embossing when paired with the appropriate embossing mat and plate system compatible with your die-cutting machine.
How do I clean the die?
Gently clean any paper residue with a soft brush or dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Die not cutting through material completely
Ensure you are using the correct 'sandwich' configuration for your die-cutting machine. Try adding an extra cutting plate or a shim (e.g., thin cardstock or paper) to increase pressure. Ensure the die is placed with the cutting edge facing the material.
Material is tearing or getting stuck in the die
Try running the die through the machine a second time. Ensure the material is not too thick for the die or your machine's capabilities. Gently ease the material off the die after cutting.
Embossing is not distinct
Verify that you are using the correct embossing mat or pad as recommended by your die-cutting machine's manufacturer. Ensure the correct side of the die is facing the material for embossing.
Die shows signs of rust or damage
Store dies in a dry place and ensure they are completely dry before storage. Light rust can sometimes be removed with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, but this may affect the cutting edge. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.
