FAQs
What are passe-partouts?

How many dies are included in this set?

Do I need a special machine for this die?
Yes, this die requires a compatible die-cutting and embossing machine to be used.
What materials can I cut with this die?

Can I use this die for embossing?

How should I clean the die?
Use a soft brush or your fingers to gently remove paper scraps. Store it flat and dry.
Troubleshooting
Die not cutting through paper cleanly
Ensure you are using the correct "sandwich" configuration for your die-cutting machine. You may need to add an extra shim (thin cardstock or paper) or a thinner cutting plate. Check that the die is placed correctly with the cutting edge facing the paper.
Paper tears or gets stuck in the die
Try using a slightly thinner paper or cardstock. Also, ensure you are not forcing the paper through the machine. Sometimes, a dry lubricant like wax paper run through the die can help release the paper more easily.
Die leaves unwanted creases
Verify that the die is not being pressed too hard against the paper. Adjust your machine's pressure or the sandwich configuration. Ensure the die is properly seated on the cutting plate.
