Troubleshooting
Die not cutting completely through material.
Ensure you are using the correct combination of plates for your die-cutting machine. Increase pressure if your machine allows, or try running the sandwich through the machine twice. Check that the die is positioned correctly with the cutting edge against the material.
Stamp not adhering to acrylic block.
Ensure both the stamp and the acrylic block are clean and dry. Remove any dust or residue.
Tearing or snagging of paper during die-cutting.
Use a slightly thinner cardstock or ensure the die is sharp. Check that the material is flat and not warped before cutting. Consider using a precision plate or shims if your machine supports them.
Ink smudging from the stamp.
Allow the ink to dry completely before touching the stamped area. Use a faster-drying ink if smudging is a persistent issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To use the dies, place your chosen material (paper or felt) onto your die-cutting machine's base plate, position the die with the cutting edge facing down onto the material, and cover with the cutting plate. Pass the sandwich through your machine according to its instructions. For the clear stamp, mount it onto an acrylic block, ink the surface, and press firmly onto your project.
Compatibility: These dies are designed to be compatible with most standard die-cutting machines. Always refer to your machine's manual for specific plate configurations and pressure settings. The clear stamp requires a separate acrylic block for application.
Care: After use, gently remove any paper or felt scraps from the dies. Store the dies and stamp in a dry place, away from moisture, to prevent rust or damage. Clean the stamp with a damp cloth or stamp cleaner and allow it to air dry completely before storing.
