Product Information
Full details
This Rose Divider Die from Go Craft Distribution is designed for crafters seeking to add intricate rose details to their projects. Its primary benefit is the ability to emboss and stencil directly through the die, offering versatile decorative possibilities. A potential caveat is ensuring compatibility with your specific die-cutting machine, as it is a thin metal die. This product allows users to create beautiful, detailed rose designs for cards, scrapbooks, and other paper crafts.

FAQs
What materials can this die cut?
This die is designed for cutting paper and cardstock. For embossing, it works best with medium to heavy weight cardstock.
What does 'thin metal die' mean?
A thin metal die is a precise cutting tool made from thin steel. It's designed for detailed cuts and is compatible with most modern die-cutting machines.
Can I use this die with any die-cutting machine?
It is designed to work with leading embossing and die-cutting machines. However, always check your machine's specifications for compatibility with thin metal dies.
How do I clean the die?
Wipe the die clean with a dry cloth or use a soft brush to remove any paper residue after each use to maintain its cutting edge.
What is the size of the Rose Divider Die?
The die measures 100mm x 19.7mm, which is approximately 3.9 x 0.7 inches.
Can I use this die for embossing without a special mat?
While some machines may allow embossing without a mat, using a designated embossing mat or rubber mat often yields better, more consistent results.
Does this die create a full rose or just a divider?
This die creates a divider with a rose motif, designed to elegantly separate sections or create a decorative edge on your projects.
Troubleshooting
Die not cutting cleanly
Ensure your die-cutting machine is set to the correct pressure for thin metal dies. You may need to adjust your plate sandwich or try running the die through the machine twice.
Embossing is not deep enough
Experiment with different shims, an embossing mat, or a more flexible cutting plate in your machine's sandwich. Refer to your machine's manual for embossing techniques.
Paper is tearing instead of cutting
Check that the die is positioned correctly and that you are using sufficient pressure. Ensure the cardstock is not too thick for the die and machine combination.
Die is difficult to remove from paper
Use a die-brush tool to gently push out small paper pieces. If the die is stuck, try reversing the cut or using a thin piece of wax paper in your sandwich.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the Rose Divider Die, ensure you have a compatible die-cutting machine. Follow your machine's specific instructions for using thin metal dies. This typically involves placing the die between cutting plates and running it through the machine. For embossing, you may need to use a rubber mat or specialized embossing plates, depending on your machine's capabilities. Clean the die after each use with a dry brush or cloth to remove paper scraps. Store the die flat in a protective case or magnetic sheet to prevent bending.
