Die-cutting

Explore the library’s die-cutting machines! We have a traditional Ellison hand die-cutter with many templates including letters, numbers, images and symbols approximately 4x4 inches each. We also have two Sissix hand die-cutters (regular and mini) for use with embossing folders and Thinlet dies. While we have several to choose from including holiday and nature themes, patrons are welcome to purchase and bring their own desired Sissix compatible Thinlet dies or embossing folders at craft stores or online. Thinlet sizes range, but tend to be much smaller than Ellison dies. Curious and tech-savvy patrons may learn about the library’s Cricut machines for computer aided die-cutting. There will be plenty of paper for exploration, but you are encouraged to bring your own to ensure desired colors and quality for your creations. Light to medium cardstock or lighter is acceptable.
