FAQs
What are the dimensions of the finished cut?
The finished corner measure is approximately 85mm x 85mm.
Is this die compatible with electronic cutting machines?
Yes, it is compatible with most electronic die-cutting systems that accept standard metal cutting dies.
Can I use this die for embossing only?
Yes, by using an embossing mat instead of a cutting plate, you can press the design into paper without cutting it.
Who is the designer of this die?
This die set was designed by Sue Dix.
Does it come with magnets for storage?
The product packaging typically includes the die only; we recommend using a magnetic storage sheet for organization.
Troubleshooting
The die did not cut through the cardstock completely.
Add a metal shim to your cutting sandwich or perform an extra pass through the machine.
Paper is stuck inside the intricate gaps of the die.
Use a die-brush tool or carefully poke out small pieces using a plastic stylus, avoiding metal tools that could scratch the die coating.
Embossing detail is too faint.
Ensure you are using the correct rubber embossing mat for your specific machine model.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality intricate cut design
- Versatile use as a stencil or embossing plate
- Perfect size for standard A6 and A7 card projects
- Compatible with most industry-standard cutting machines
Cons
- Requires a separate die-cutting machine
- Intricate details require a precision base plate for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the die, place your base plate, the die (cutting edge facing up), your paper, and the cutting pad in your machine's sandwich as directed by your machine's manual. The die is compatible with almost all leading brands, including Sizzix, Spellbinders, and Brother machines.
For care and maintenance, avoid using harsh chemicals or metal picks to remove stuck paper, as this can damage the fine cutting blades. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush or a light dusting of baby powder before cutting to prevent paper from adhering to the die. Store your die in a magnetic sheet or a dedicated die storage sleeve to prevent the intricate swirly edges from bending.
