Spellbinders Style Dies™ Compatibility
Spellbinders Style Dies™ are designed around the
Wizard Embossing & Die Cutting System and work best in it. However, we
have found that they do have limited compatibility with other systems.
Please be advised that Spellbinders two-year Warranty on Spellbinders
Style Dies™ may be voided by using the dies in other systems. Spellbinders
makes no guarantees about the cutting or embossing quality of any system
other than the Wizard Embossing & Die Cutting System.
Please check the warranty on your die-cutting
system before using Spellbinders Style Dies™ with it. Spellbinders is not
responsible for any damage incurred by using Spellbinders Style Dies™ with
other systems.

Sizzix®
Capabilities
Sizzix® manufactures the Sizzix® Adapter™ and the Sizzix® System
Converter™ which, together, allow the cutting of Spellbinders Style Dies™
that are smaller than the Sizzix® Adapter, which measures 2 3/8” by 2
5/8.” This includes most Spellbinders Fonts and Mystery Dies. The Sizzix®
Adapters are sold in packages of ten and several can be used side by side
to allow for the cutting of larger Spellbinders Style Dies™.
Sizzix® does not manufacture any kind of embossing
pad or foam to allow the Spellbinders Style Dies™ to be embossed in the
Sizzix® machine. However, Spellbinders Tan Emboss Pad can be used in the
Sizzix® Machine.
How-To
To cut and emboss a Spellbinders Style Die™ in a Sizzix® Machine:
1. Place
the Sizzix® System Converter into the Sizzix® Machine.
2. On the
Cutting Pad, place paper to be cut, then the Spellbinders Style Die™,
ridges down.
3. Place a
Sizzix® Adapter over the Spellbinders Style Die™, then cut as normal.
4. Leave
the cut paper in the die. Turn the die over so that the ridges are facing
up, place back on the cutting pad – without
the Sizzix® Adapter.
5. Layer a
Tan Emboss Pad over the die.
6. Press in
the Sizzix® Machine. Shim with extra pieces of cardstock if needed.
Sidekick™ & Tag-a-Long™
Capabilities
The Sizzix® Adapter does allow the cutting of Spellbinders Style
Dies™ with the Sidekick™ & Tag-a-Long™, but this is limited to most Spellbinders Fonts
or Mystery Dies, due to the limiting size of the Sizzix® Adapter.
The Sidekick™ & Tag-a-Long™ do not allow for the embossing of
Spellbinders Style Dies™.
How-To
To cut a Spellbinders Style Die™ in a Sidekick™ Machine
or a Tag-a-Long™:
1. Place
die, ridges up, onto a Sizzix® Adapter.
2. Place
paper over die, roll through the Sidekick™ or
Tag-a-Long™.
QuicKutz®
Capabilities
The QuicKutz® hand tool is capable of cutting smaller Spellbinders
Style Dies™, such as the Spellbinders Fonts and the Mystery Dies.
It is not capable of embossing Spellbinders Style
Dies™.
How-To
1. Place a Spellbinders Style Die™
and paper into the hand tool.
2. Squeeze
to cut as normal.
Note: The QuicKutz® tool has a “sweet spot” of
cutting area in the center of the cutting platform. When cutting with a
Spellbinders Style Die™, it may be necessary to center the desired portion
of the die inside the hand tool’s cutting platform. If a good cut is not
obtained with the first squeeze, the die may be moved and squeezed again.
Taping the paper to the die can be helpful in this process.
