Sweet Dixie Cutting Die - Dragonfly Square

This die is designed primarily for paper and cardstock. For embossing, it works best with standard paper weights. Always check your die-cutting machine's recommendations for material compatibility.

Gently wipe the die with a soft, dry cloth or a soft brush to remove any paper dust or debris. Avoid using water or abrasive cleaners, which could damage the metal.

The die measures approximately 96x97mm.

Yes, this die is designed to be compatible with most leading die-cutting systems, including manual machines. You may need to experiment with your machine's specific plate combination for best results.

'Cut' means the die will precisely cut out the shape from your paper. 'Emboss' means the die can press an impression into the paper, creating a raised or indented design without cutting all the way through.

Look for cardmaking, scrapbooking, and papercrafting blogs or social media groups. Searching for 'dragonfly die cut' or 'filigree card inspiration' can also provide ideas.

Ensure you are using the correct sandwich configuration for your machine. You may need to add an extra shim or try a more robust cutting plate. Check that the die is positioned correctly in the sandwich.

Verify that you are using the correct plates and mat for embossing. Some machines require a specific embossing mat or pad. Try increasing the pressure or passing the sandwich through the machine a second time.

This can happen with very delicate dies or thin paper. Try using a slightly thicker cardstock, or ensure your cutting plates are not worn. A partial pass through the machine might help achieve a cleaner cut without tearing.

Ensure the cutting plates are clean and free of debris. Sometimes, a very thin cardstock can stick. Gently pry the paper from the die or use a die-brush to help lift the paper.
