DzIxY Lace Die Cutter Review: Right for Our Shop?
In our hunt for versatile lace accents, we put the DzIxY Lace Semicircle Background Board Metal Cutting Dies to work on everything from birthday cards to layered scrapbook headers. The semicircle motif brings an instant “finished edge” look—delicate without feeling fussy—and it pairs nicely with bold sentiments or minimalist layouts. We ran it through our die-cutting machine with standard cardstock and heavier textured paper, and the cut quality stayed consistent, with the finer lace details holding up surprisingly well. What we’re still weighing for our shop is the niche factor: it’s perfect for romantic, vintage, and wedding aesthetics, but less essential for modern geometric lines. Still, as a background-builder, it’s a compelling tool.
Tirrito KANXINER Die-Cut Machine Review: Our Shop?
In our search for a die-cut option that feels both practical and a little celebratory, we put the Tirrito KANXINER Die Cuts Scrapbooking Supplies Kit to work. Sized at 5.91 x 2.99 inches, this graduation-themed metal die set is clearly aimed at invitations and milestone cards—but we found it just as useful for quick scrapbook accents and layered embellishments. The cuts come out crisp when paired with a compatible embossing/die-cutting machine, and the designs lean classic rather than overly trendy, which helps them fit multiple layouts. In our shop workflow, the real test is repeatability, and this set holds up well for small batches. It’s not flashy—just reliably craft-ready.
