Cutting dies

What are cutting dies?

Cutting dies are metal templates used with a die cutting machine to cut precise shapes, patterns, and designs from paper, fabric, and other thin materials. They come in a wide variety of shapes, from simple geometric forms to intricate motifs. Cutting dies are an essential tool for card making, scrapbooking, and seasonal crafts, allowing you to add professional details to your projects quickly and easily.

Different types of cutting dies

At Vaessen Creative, you will find a large selection of cutting dies within our die cutting and embossing collection. Each type has its own purpose and creative possibilities. For example, folding dies make it possible to cut and fold 3D designs such as boxes or ornaments, while slimline cutting dies are perfect for creating long, narrow cards. Frame cutting dies add elegant borders to projects, and shaker dies allow you to make interactive cards with a window for sequins or glitter. Heavier Bigz dies can cut thicker materials like felt or chipboard, opening up even more options. You can also explore border dies for decorative edges, planner dies for journaling and organisation, or hot foil dies to add metallic foil designs with heat. Finally, cutting and embossing dies combine two techniques in one, cutting shapes while also adding textured details. With so many variations, there is always a die to suit your creative project.

Creative hobbies & projects with cutting dies

Cutting dies are perfect for many hobbies. In gift wrapping, they can be used to create decorative tags, labels, or embellishments for presents. In Easter crafting, dies shaped like eggs, bunnies, or flowers are perfect for festive cards and decorations. Another inspiring idea is crafting with children, where simple dies can be used to cut fun shapes for collages, stickers, or classroom projects. With cutting dies, it is easy to adapt your designs for any event or season.

Why choose cutting dies for your projects?

The main advantage of cutting dies is the precision and speed they offer. Instead of cutting shapes by hand, you can achieve clean and detailed results in seconds. Cutting dies are reusable, making them a cost-effective choice for crafters who create regularly. They also open up endless possibilities for layering, combining colours, and experimenting with new designs. Whether you are working on cards, invitations, or seasonal decorations, cutting dies help you achieve a professional finish.
