FAQs
What types of paper work best with this die?
This die works well with most standard cardstocks, patterned papers, and vellum. For intricate details, lighter to medium-weight papers are often easiest to work with. Heavier specialty papers may require additional shims or pressure adjustments.
Can I use this die to cut fabric or other materials?
This die is specifically designed for paper crafting. It is not intended for use with fabric, acetate, or other thicker materials, as this can damage the die and your machine.
How do I clean the die?
After use, gently brush away any paper bits with a soft brush or crafting pick. If there's slight residue, a dry, lint-free cloth is sufficient. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
What does 'MPN 964' mean?
MPN stands for Manufacturer Part Number. '964' is the specific identifier for this Victorian Flower Set 1 die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.
Do I need special tools to use this die?
You will need a compatible die-cutting machine and the necessary cutting plates or platforms for that machine. A soft brush or crafting pick can be helpful for removing small cut pieces.
Where is this product made?
This product is made in the USA.
Troubleshooting
Die not cutting completely through paper.
Ensure the die-cutting sandwich is correctly assembled with appropriate plates. Try adding a shim (a thin layer of cardstock or specialty paper) to increase pressure. Check if your machine requires a more robust cutting plate.
Paper is tearing or shredding instead of cutting.
The die may be dull or the paper is too thick for the die. Try a thinner paper stock or consider if the die needs to be replaced due to wear.
Difficulty removing cut elements from the die.
Gently use a crafting pick or tweezers to ease the paper elements out. Ensure the die is clean of any residue. Sometimes, running the sandwich through the machine a second time can help create a cleaner cut that releases more easily.
Die is rusting.
This indicates the die has been exposed to moisture. Dry the die thoroughly immediately and store it in a dry environment. Minor rust can sometimes be gently removed with a fine-grit sandpaper or steel wool, but be careful not to damage the cutting edge.
