Description

This nesting rectangle set gives you 12 useful sizes to mix and match across your projects. Cut contrasting colours or patterned papers and stack the rectangles to build depth, or use a single stitched panel to frame a stamped image or sentiment.

The decorative stitch pattern sits inside each rectangle, so the finished panel has a clean outer edge with extra detail around its border. The smaller dies create slim panels that work well for greetings and labels.

Please Note

Measurements are approximate and taken at the outer cutting edges; finished cuts will be slightly smaller. Please allow a millimetre or two for variation.

This nesting set is supplied connected and is intended to be separated before first use

For best results, first gently twist the individual dies away from each other to separate the main frame. Once separated, any remaining connector tabs can usually be detached by gently wriggling and twisting them using small pliers or nippers. Depending on the set, some tabs may require careful trimming with fine snips if they do not release easily.

A die-cutting machine is required. Check that your machine's cutting width and plate length can accommodate the dies you wish to use, and follow the manufacturer's recommended plate combination for thin metal dies.
