It is compatible with most leading die-cutting systems; please check your machine's manual for compatibility with thin metal dies.

How do I maintain the die to ensure it stays sharp?
Keep it clean, store it flat, and avoid dropping it or using it to cut materials thicker than cardstock.
Troubleshooting
The die did not cut all the way through the paper.
Your machine pressure may be too low. Add a metal shim or an extra layer of cardstock to your 'sandwich' to increase cutting force.
Intricate parts of the reindeer are tearing during removal.
Ensure you are using high-quality cardstock and try using a wax paper barrier between the die and your paper to reduce friction.
The die is slipping on the plate.
Use a small piece of low-tack washi tape to secure the die to your paper before running it through the machine.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the die, place it on your cutting plate with the cutting edge facing upward toward your cardstock. Follow the 'sandwich' instructions provided by your specific die-cutting machine manufacturer (e.g., Sizzix, Big Shot, or Gemini). If you are embossing, switch your top cutting plate for an embossing rubber mat. Regarding care, always brush away any trapped paper fibers after use using a soft-bristled brush. Store the die flat in a magnetic storage sheet or a plastic sleeve to prevent the metal from warping or the delicate details from becoming damaged. Do not store in humid environments to maintain the integrity of the steel.
