This decorative lace edge rectangle nesting die set combines three useful graduated panel sizes with an intricate openwork border. Each rectangle features repeated cut-out details, softly rounded corners and looped outer edging, creating an ornamental finish without requiring an additional border die.
Use the dies individually to make decorative panels for sentiments, stamped images and photographs, or layer all three sizes together using contrasting cardstock, patterned papers, vellum or speciality materials. Each die cuts a complete solid central panel rather than a separate outline frame, making the finished pieces straightforward to position and layer.
The largest rectangle makes an attractive A6 card-front feature, while the medium and small dies are useful for coordinated focal panels, labels and toppers. The elegant edging suits wedding, anniversary, birthday, invitation and vintage-inspired projects throughout the year.
This listing is for the three metal cutting dies only. Photographs may show example cuts to demonstrate the shapes and decorative lace-style edging produced by the dies.
Cardstock, completed layered examples, backgrounds and other decorative elements shown are not included.
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 set. Any remaining connector tabs can usually be detached by gently wriggling and twisting them with small pliers or nippers. Some tabs may require careful trimming with fine snips.
Measurements are approximate and taken from the outer cutting edge. Finished cuts will be slightly smaller.
