Sizzix Thinlits Dies: Elevating Your Card Making Supplies

Seeking a new addition to your card making essentials? Look no further than Sizzix Thinlits Dies - the perfect wafer-thin dies that offer far more intricate designs with clean, precise cuts than your average die. Specifically designed for papercraft, these dies allow you to now incorporate the most delicate components into your birthday cards, invitations, and beyond.

Compatible with a wide range of Sizzix die cutting machines, including the Sizzix Big Shot, Sizzix Big Shot Plus, Sizzix Big Shot Foldaway, Sizzix Big Shot Pro, and Sizzix Big Shot Express, these die cutting tools provide endless possibilities for your card making projects.

But what exactly is die cutting, and how do you use these Thinlits dies? Die cutting is a quick and efficient way to produce individual or mass shapes from paper, foil, cardstock, or even chipboard, using a machine and a die, rather than cutting by hand. While the die cutting machine applies the necessary pressure, it is the chosen die (such as a Sizzix Bigz, Thinlits, or Framelits die) that does the actual cutting. So, when determining the compatibility of your materials, it's the die itself that you should focus on, not the machine.

Using a Thinlits die is a breeze. First, gather your Sizzix Big Shot Machine and Standard Cutting Pads. Place one cutting pad on your work surface, then the Thinlits die, followed by your chosen material. Complete the "sandwich" by adding the second cutting pad on top. With a single pass through the die cutting machine, your intricate design will be revealed.

It's worth noting that when using Thinlits dies with any Sizzix Big Shot machine, an Adapter Platform (658992) will be required. Simply place this under the sandwich you've created, and you're good to go. If you've already purchased a Sizzix Big Shot machine, your adapter is likely included.

Sizzix Thinlits Dies come in a variety of beautiful shapes and sizes, ranging from 1 3/8" x 1 1/8" to 1/2" x 1/4", allowing you to add a special touch to all your papercrafting and stencilling projects. These wafer-thin dies are compatible with a wide range of materials, including paper, card, metallic foil, vellum, shrink plastic, and stencil film.

While Sizzix always recommends using their dies with Sizzix machines for the best results, if you have any questions about compatibility with non-Sizzix machines, it's best to reach out directly to the manufacturer of the machine in question. With Sizzix Thinlits Dies, elevate your card making supplies and unlock a world of intricate, precise designs for all your crafting needs.
