Sizzix Thinlits Die HAUNTED — Tim Holtz wafer-thin Halloween haunted-house die for intricate layered cards and décor

Sizzix Tim Holtz Thinlits Die - HAUNTED is a wafer-thin, chemically etched die that cuts an intricate haunted house and separate layerable elements for spooky paper-craft projects.

Bring atmospheric Halloween designs to cards, invitations and home décor with a die built for delicate detail. This Thinlits set from Sizzix and Tim Holtz offers finely etched cutting lines so you can produce crisp shapes from a single sheet of cardstock, metallic foil, vellum, shrink plastic and other thin crafting materials. Because the pieces are separate and almost lace-like, you can stack, shadow or stencil them to achieve depth and texture without fussy hand-cutting.

How will this die improve my Halloween card-making?

The HAUNTED Thinlits lets you create complex silhouettes and layered scenes that read clearly at small scales—perfect for cards and tags. Its thin etched edges capture small details like windows, turrets and foliage so finished pieces look professional and atmospheric.

• Create multi-layered haunted-house scenes with realistic shadowing.
• Cut delicate elements quickly for multiple cards or mass invitations.

What materials can I cut with the Thinlits HAUNTED die?

This wafer-thin die is designed for thin craft substrates. It slices cleanly through paper-based materials and several specialty films, letting you experiment with texture and finishes without switching dies.

• Cardstock and patterned paper for layered cards and tags.
• Metallic foil or vellum for luminous windows or moonlit effects.
• Shrink plastic, stencil film, foam and crepe paper for mixed-media use.

Which die cutting setup do I need to use HAUNTED?

You must run Thinlits dies through a pressure-based die cutting machine; they don’t cut by hand. Sizzix Thinlits work smoothly with Sizzix Big Shot family machines and often require an adapter platform for the correct sandwich thickness.

• Compatible with Sizzix Big Shot, Big Shot Plus, Foldaway, Pro and Express.
• Thinlits need an adapter platform with most Big Shot machines (often included).
• Check your die’s compatibility before trying thicker materials.

Can this die do more than cut shapes?

Yes—Thinlits can also emboss or be used as stencils, increasing their versatility. Pairing the die with embossing accessories or transfer tools produces raised textures and subtle relief that add professional detail to your projects.

• Use with emboss and transfer sets to add dimension to thin cuts.
• Turn the negative cut into a stencil for inking, distressing or airbrushing.
• Layer cut pieces over backgrounds for shadow realism and depth.

Who is this for? Crafters who want finely detailed seasonal die cuts—cardmakers, scrapbookers, party-invitation creators and mixed-media artists—will value HAUNTED’s delicate lines and reusable elements. If you already own a Sizzix Big Shot or similar press and enjoy adding layered, atmospheric detail to projects, this Thinlits die gives you a quick way to produce consistent, professional-looking Halloween motifs at any scale.
