Marianne Design "Petra's Beautiful Border" Die - LR0407

The die is primarily designed for use with various types of paper, including cardstock. It is not recommended for use with fabric, plastic, or metal.

The two dies are designed to work together. You can cut one border piece, then align the second die piece next to it, ensuring the design flows seamlessly. Experimenting on scrap paper will help you find the best alignment.

The two pieces included in the set measure approximately 150.5 mm x 10.5 mm and 151 mm x 33 mm.

They are designed to be compatible with most leading brands of die-cutting systems. Please refer to your specific machine's manual to ensure compatibility with wafer-thin dies.

It is best to store the dies flat in a dry environment, such as in a die storage case or binder, to prevent damage and maintain their cutting edge.

Yes, many die-cutting machines that allow for embossing can be used with this die to create embossed designs on paper.

Ensure your die-cutting machine is set up correctly and that the die is placed with the cutting edge facing upwards. You may need to adjust the pressure or add shims (thin material like cardstock or paper) to your cutting sandwich for a more precise cut.

This can happen if the pressure is too high or the cutting plates are worn. Try reducing the pressure if your machine allows, or replace your cutting plates. Ensure the die is not stuck to the paper after cutting.

Gently try to separate the die from the paper. Using a brush or stylus to lift edges can help. Some crafters use a small amount of wax paper in their sandwich to prevent sticking.

Practice aligning the two pieces before cutting. Use a pencil to lightly mark registration points on scrap paper to help guide placement. Ensure you are using the correct orientation for each die piece.
