INFUNLY Frame Cutting Dies Set — 6 Styles of Metal Die Cut Frames for Cardmaking with Nested Sizes

INFUNLY 6 Styles Frame Metal Die Cuts are a set of carbon-steel cutting dies that produce precise rectangle, square, hexagon, heart, lace circle and star-frame shapes for cardmaking, scrapbooking and other paper crafts.

This toolkit gathers six frame families in multiple sizes so you can create layered borders, photo mattes, and decorative windows without tracing or hand-cutting. Each family includes several nested sizes, giving you flexibility to frame photos, build shaker cards, or add intricate edge details. The dies are made from durable carbon steel and are compatible with most manual die-cutting machines, making them a practical addition to a home craft room or small studio.

What shapes and sizes are included in this die set?

The set includes six distinct frame styles—rectangles, squares, hexagons, hearts, lace circles, and star-pattern round frames—each offered in several nested sizes. That range makes it easy to mix and match frames for multi-layered designs or to fit specific photo and card dimensions.

• Rectangle frames: five nested sizes for standard and custom card openings.
• Square frames: five sizes for layered squares and tags.
• Hexagon frames: seven sizes for geometric accents.
• Heart frames: four sizes for romantic flashes and small tags.
• Lace circle frames: five sizes for doily-like borders.
• Star-pattern round frames: five sizes for playful or festive designs.

How do I use these metal cutting dies with my die-cutting machine?

Using the dies is straightforward: position a chosen die over your paper or thin material, sandwich it between the cutting plates, and run it through a compatible manual die-cutting machine. The die cuts through cardstock, paper, chipboard and many specialty papers; experiment with sandwich order recommended by your machine maker for best results.

• Place die face down on material for cleaner edges when needed.
• Use low-tack tape to hold small pieces while cutting intricate frames.
• Combine with embossing mats or hot foil plates for added texture or shine.
• Trim or layer the cut pieces to create windows, insets, or shaker card frames.

What materials and finishes work best with INFUNLY frame dies?

The dies are stamped from carbon steel with smooth cutting edges and solid craftwork to resist warping when used as directed. They cut cleanly through a variety of thin-to-medium materials, and they pair well with stamps, inks and adhesives for finished projects.

• Paper and cardstock: ideal for crisp, detailed frame edges.
• Chipboard and light cardboard: use slower passes or multiple passes for thicker substrates.
• Felt and thin fabric: test a scrap first and use temporary adhesive if needed.
• Specialty papers (vellum, metallics): create decorative accents and overlays.

How can these dies expand my craft designs and techniques?

The nested sizes and varied shapes invite layering, negative-space designs, and hybrid techniques like ink blending, foiling, and paper piecing. Combining frames from different families creates unconventional shapes and borders that give cards and scrapbooks a custom, professional look.

• Layer contrasting frame sizes for dimensional borders and mats.
• Create photo windows by cutting matching front and inner mats.
• Mix lace circle frames with solid shapes for delicate overlays.
• Use star or hexagon frames for modern, geometric layouts.

Who is this for? Crafters who enjoy cardmaking, scrapbooking, journaling, and small-scale paper crafts will find this INFUNLY die set especially useful. It suits hobbyists upgrading their tools, small business owners producing handmade stationery, teachers planning craft activities, and anyone who wants reliable, repeatable frames without hand-cutting. The set’s variety and durability make it a versatile pick for beginners who want to explore layering techniques and for experienced makers who need consistent, precise shapes for frequent projects.
