Create unique cards and scrapbook pages for friends and family when you work with reusable dies and tools. Dies cut neatly every time, giving your projects a finished look. Plus, they help complete your creations in a fraction of the time it would take to cut shapes by hand.

Personalization
When you use dies to decorate a card, you can choose colors and shapes that are suited to the occasion and the recipient. Cut out red flowers for one person, then switch to pink or yellow paper for someone who likes subtler colors. Use alphabet dies to cut out any name or phrase as the title for a scrapbook page.

Thrifty Crafting
Having a collection of reusable dies means you don't have to worry about running out of basic supplies at the last minute. You can use the same die for card after card, and each one looks different when you using various paper and embellishment options. Most shapes require only a small scrap of paper, so you can use little pieces without cutting into a new sheet. Make the most of expensive, textured papers by cutting small shapes such as stars or hearts.

Dimensional Appearance
Die-cut shapes have a realistic look when you layer them, making a dramatic impact. Use texture plates to create a raised surface and change the project's feel. Add stickers and embellishments to enhance your theme or add a little sparkle.

Quick to Use
Dies cut intricate shapes in minutes, allowing you to assemble a birthday card just before you leave for the party. Steel edges on the dies make a clean cut every time, which gives your handmade projects a professional appearance.
