Lovebirds - from the Vault ... Thinlits Die Cutting Templates by Tim Holtz, made by Sizzix (no.666566). These designs cut out three bird silhouettes (garden variety, like sparrows), a branch, feather and trio of hearts. Brought back to life by Tim and Sizzix, these vintage designs have been reimagined as Thinlits die cutting templates. Add these wonderful elements and versatile designs to greeting cards, tags, off the page displays, cards, scrapbook pages, art journaling, all kinds of visual arts and papercrafts - use wherever and however you wish. Have fun! These designs, while similar to designs from the past, are different sizes to their originals. For instance, the birds are slightly larger than the ones from Tim's "Silhouette Birds" Thinlits and the feather is longer that the old one. This set contains 8 templates.Sizes (approx) : die cut pieces are up to 1 3/8" x 4 3/4" (the feather) in size. Thinlits are wafer thin chemically etched die templates designed to cut, emboss or stencil a single sheet of cardstock, paper, fine metallic foil or vellum. Because of their fine details, Thinlits may require up to three passes to cut all the intricate pieces. If extra help is needed for easier separation of the die-cut shape from the template, place wax paper between the Thinlits die and your material and then roll through your preferred machine. Thinlits are designed for use with the Sizzix die cutting and embossing machines (eg, Big Shot Pro, Big Shot Switch Plus and Vagabond) and also compatible with most hand-turned die cutting machines (eg, Cuttlebug). Thinlits are also able to emboss when combined with an Impressions Pad and Silicone Rubber sheet (it presses rather than cuts due to the less pressure).To stencil, trace around the shapes with pen, pencil or ink. Apply ink to the die cutting edges to print and emboss at the same time. This set includes a handy plastic storage envelope. For easy identification, trim off the printed label and slip into the envelope. Designed by Tim Holtz and manufactured by Sizzix.
