Create a unique look on your cards and layouts using the Geometric Tiles Thinlits die set. Designed by Jen Long-Philipsen for Sizzix, the seven dies in this package range in measurement from 3/8" x 3/8" to 5 1/2" x 4 1/4". These dies will really make your cards stand out. One die will cut a geometric tile shape while the other six will cut button shapes that fit in the openings of the tile shape. Use these dies together, or on their own. Thinlits are very thin dies made through a chemical etching process. They will cut one sheet of cardstock, vellum, paper or metallic foil. They are easy to store and easy to bring with you to crops and classes. These dies are designed for use with the BIGkick, Big Shot or Vagabond machines, with a set of Cutting Pads and the machine's Platform. When using the Essentials Platform or Solo Platform and Shim, you will also need an Extended Adapter or Solo Adapter (all items sold separately). Because Thinlits dies are very detailed, they may need up to three passes through a machine to fully cut your shape. If you are having trouble removing your shape from the die, add a piece of wax paper between your material and your die. For even more options, Thinlits can also be used to emboss. If you wish to emboss your shape, you will need the machine's Platform, an Impressions Pad and a Silicone Rubber Sheet (not included). These dies can also be used as stencils. Try stenciling on the embossed image using chalk or ink for even more options. Included in this package are a diagram that will explain how to use the die in each Sizzix machine and a storage envelope for your dies.
