FAQs
What materials can this die cut?
This die is designed for cutting paper, cardstock, and thin craft foam. Results may vary with heavier materials.
Can I use this die with an electronic cutting machine?
While primarily designed for manual die-cutting machines, compatibility with electronic machines may vary. Please consult your electronic machine's manual for specific die-cutting compatibility.
How many frames does one purchase include?
Each purchase includes 6 pieces of the Flower Frame die.
What is the size of the cut-out frame?
The die itself measures 126 x 126 cm, and it creates a frame of a similar size.
Can I use this die for scrapbooking?
Yes, the Flower Frame die is ideal for adding decorative elements to scrapbook pages.
What is the main difference between cutting and embossing with this die?
Cutting uses pressure to cut the die's shape completely through the paper. Embossing uses pressure to create a raised or indented design on the paper's surface without cutting through it.
Where can I find inspiration for using this die?
Inspiration can be found on crafting blogs, social media platforms using relevant hashtags (e.g., #MarianneDesign, #DieCutting), and the Marianne Design website.
Troubleshooting
Die not cutting cleanly
Ensure the cutting mat on your die-cutting machine is in good condition. Adjust the number of shims or plates used, or try a more robust cardstock. Check that the die is positioned correctly with the cutting edge against the paper.
Paper tearing during the cut
Reduce the pressure by removing a shim or plate. Ensure the paper is fed straight through the machine and not at an angle. Use slightly lighter weight paper if necessary.
Difficulty removing paper from the die
Use a stylus or a die brush tool to gently push the cut-out pieces from the back of the die. For intricate designs, a paper-piercing tool can help dislodge small pieces.
Embassing is too faint
Ensure you are using an embossing mat or pad recommended for your die-cutting machine. Try running the die through the machine a second time, or adjust the pressure setting if your machine allows.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the Flower Frame die, place it on your die-cutting machine's platform according to the machine's instructions, typically with the cutting edge facing the material. Position your chosen paper or cardstock over the die. Follow your machine's specific layering guidelines (usually cardstock, die, cutting plate) and run it through the machine. For embossing, adjust your machine's settings or use an embossing mat as per your machine's manual.
Compatibility: This die is compatible with most popular manual die-cutting machines available on the market. Ensure your machine can accommodate the die's dimensions (126 x 126 cm) and thickness.
Care: After use, gently remove any paper remnants from the die's cutting edges. Store the die in a dry place, ideally in its original packaging or a dedicated die storage system, to prevent damage and keep it clean. Avoid exposing the metal die to moisture to prevent rust.
