Description

This set of 12 torn edge rectangle nesting metal cutting dies provides a versatile selection of graduated sizes for card making, scrapbooking and other paper crafts. Each rectangle features a softly irregular deckle-style outline, creating the appearance of gently torn or handmade paper without the evenly repeated curves of a scalloped edge.

Use individual dies to create decorative card-front panels, photograph mats and sentiment backgrounds. Two sizes can also be combined to make coordinating frames, apertures and shaker windows. Cut the rectangles from contrasting cardstock, patterned papers, vellum or textured materials to build layered designs with an attractive uneven finish.

The generous largest rectangle is particularly useful for A5 projects, while the smaller sizes provide plenty of options for A6, 5x7, 6x6 and slimline layouts.

Please Note

The listing is for the metal cutting die set only. Photos may show example cuts to demonstrate the shapes and torn deckle-style edges the dies create.

Cardstock, backgrounds, layered examples and other decorative elements shown are not included.

This is a nesting set. The dies are supplied connected by small metal tabs and are intended to be separated before use. Gently wriggle and twist the connectors using small pliers or nippers. Fine snips may be needed for any tabs that do not release easily.

Measurements are approximate and taken from the outer cutting edge. Finished cuts will be slightly smaller.
