Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: What die-cutting machines are compatible with this metal die set? A: These dies work with standard die-cutting machines including Cuttlebug, Big Shot, Spellbinders, and similar machines. Check your machine's specifications to ensure it accommodates 8x8" dies.

Q: Can I nest the dies together to create layered frames? A: Absolutely! The dies are specifically designed to nest together, allowing you to create beautifully layered decorative frames, matts, and dimensional focal points by stacking different-sized squares.

Q: What's the best cardstock weight for cutting with these metal dies? A: These dies work well on 160–250gsm cardstock. For heavier weights or specialty materials, you may need to make multiple passes through your machine or apply additional pressure.

Q: Can I use these square dies for non-Christmas projects? A: Perfectly! Whilst the gilded detailing complements the Starlit Christmas collection beautifully, the timeless square design works for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and year-round celebrations.

Q: How do I use the magnetic storage sheet? A: Place the sheet on a metal surface (like a filing cabinet or metal craft table). The metal dies attach magnetically to the sheet, keeping them organised, visible, and easy to access during crafting.

Q: Can I create shaped card fronts using the largest die? A: Yes! The 7.6" x 7.6" die is perfect for cutting shaped card fronts. Simply die-cut your card front from cardstock and layer with a backing card for a unique, dimensional presentation.
