FAQs
What are the approximate sizes of the decagon dies?
The set includes approximate die template sizes: 1: 3/4", 2: 1", 3: 1 1/4", 4: 2 1/2", 5: 2 3/4", and 6: 3 1/2".
Can these dies be used to stencil?
Yes, Spellbinders Nestabilities dies can be used to stencil by placing the die on your project and applying ink or paint through the open shape.
What is the advantage of nesting these dies?
Nesting the decagon dies allows you to create a consistent 1/4-inch border, which is ideal for layered frames and adding depth to your paper crafts.
Do I need a special machine for these dies?
You will need a standard manual die-cutting machine to use these dies. They are not electronic cutting machines.
How many dies are included in this set?
This set includes 6 decagon-shaped die templates.
Can I use these dies for cutting fabric?
These dies are designed for paper and cardstock. Cutting fabric may require specialized dies and mats, and could damage these particular dies.
Troubleshooting
Die not cutting through cardstock cleanly
Ensure you are using the correct plate combination for your die-cutting machine. Try adding a shim (a thin piece of cardstock or paper) to your sandwich, or ensure the cutting plate is relatively new and not worn.
Embossing is too faint
Adjust your plate sandwich by reducing the number of shims or plates. Ensure the die is placed correctly with the embossed side facing the paper. Some machines may require a specific embossing plate.
Die sticking to paper
Carefully use a soft brush or craft pick to release the paper from the die. If the issue persists, try using a dry-lubricant spray lightly on the die (ensure it doesn't affect your paper choice) or try a different type of paper.
