Sizzix Tattered Florals Thinlits Die Set — 21-Piece Layered Floral Dies, Compact Travel-Friendly

This compact Thinlits collection by Sizzix and Tim Holtz offers 21 small floral dies designed to create dimensional, tattered-looking blossoms and petal layers. The set includes a range of shapes sized between 1/4" x 3/8" and 3-5/8" x 1", letting you build delicate clusters or bold focal flowers. Thinlits are thin, travel-friendly metal dies that pair with most standard die-cutting presses so you can add detailed accents to paper, metallic foil, vellum, shrink plastic and stencil film.

How do these dies help me make layered flowers quickly?

The variety of petal shapes and sizes in the 21-piece set is arranged so you can stack and mix pieces to form natural-looking, distressed blooms without freehand cutting. By combining several dies you can create depth, torn edges, or compact buds to suit different layouts.

• Twenty-one coordinating dies for layered assemblies and varied silhouettes
• Sized from tiny buds to larger petals for dimension and scale
• Works with light-to-medium weight substrates like cardstock and vellum

Which materials and machines are compatible with these Thinlits?

Thinlits are engineered to slice through thin craft materials rather than thicker fabrics or board. They are designed to be used with popular Sizzix Big Shot models and many third-party manual die-cutting machines, making them flexible for most home craft setups.

• Ideal for paper, metallic foil, vellum, shrink plastic and stencil film
• Compatible with Sizzix Big Shot family including Express, Foldaway, Plus and Pro
• Not intended for heavy-duty cutting; check your machine’s manual for compatibility tips

What project ideas suit these tattered floral shapes?

These dies are built for small to medium embellishments that enhance cards, journals, scrapbook pages, tags, and mixed-media canvases. Their distressed edges lend a vintage or grunge aesthetic when layered, inked, or lightly sanded.

• Create clustered floral arrangements for greeting cards and gift tags
• Use ink, embossing powders, or paint for weathered textures and colour depth
• Combine with punches and stencils to extend design possibilities

How portable and durable are the dies for on-the-go crafting?

Thinlits are thin, low-profile steel dies that nest compactly in storage or travel pouches, making them convenient for crop days, workshops, or craft retreats. While slim, they stay rigid through many impressions when used with proper sandwiching techniques and care.

• Compact packable set, easy to store with magnetic sheets or in a pouch
• Steel construction holds shape under normal use with manual presses
• Clean and dry after use to prolong cutting edge life

Who is this for: Crafters who enjoy building layered floral accents with a distressed, vintage look will get the most from the Sizzix Tattered Florals Thinlits set. It's well suited to cardmakers, scrapbookers, and mixed-media artists who want a portable, machine-compatible selection of small to medium floral dies for repeated use in home or workshop projects.
