Product Description:

And here are the ……drumroll please…..Stars of the show, oops, I meant to say “stars of the collection”. Our mini koi fish layering dies. These three super adorable miniature koi fish are 100% addictive to make. You will find yourself looking up color combinations for koi fish all over the internet and you will finally have an excuse to break out all these small scraps of colored cardstock that you have piled up in your craft room, because these beautiful koi fish really do come in so many beautiful and bright colors.

The die set is very intricate and you will have many small layering pieces. Having a pair of tweezers nearby is definitely helpful, but the end result is so worth it and these little koi fish can adorn just about every part of this collection and they are messengers for so many things we want to say to our friends and family in our cards. They stand for so many important reasons, why we like to send out cards that match so many different occasions, seasons and reasons. For example koi fish are known to provide strength, encouragement, stability, balance, good luck in the future, determination, success, perseverance, and of course good fortune, therefore the name of our collection. They are also the sign of prosperity, love and friendship. These koi fish would make a lovely addition to your collection and of course they will mix and match beautifully with all of the other products in our “Good Fortune” collection, including their big boy stamped/stenciled counterpart koi fish - we hope that you will check them out as well. 

We will be sharing technique tutorials and many beautiful interactive pop up cards, tunnel shadow box cards and other gorgeous 3D card design samples on our YouTube channel and our design team is also ready to create some fabulous tunnel pop ups, trifolds and other interactive cards this year- so please keep your eye open on our social media and on our “Scrappy Tails Crafters” Facebook fan page. 

Directions for metal craft die use:

1. Gently remove the metal craft die from it’s packaging
2. Using your favorite die-cutting machine, lay a piece of strong card-stock facing the sharp edges of the die and run the required “plate sandwich” through your machine (please note that different machines use different die-cutting sandwiches)
3. These dies are thin steel dies and they work in most available manual and automatic die cutting machines, such as your Vagabond, Cuttlebug, Gemini, Gemini junior, Spellbinder’s Platinum, Big Kick, Big Shot etc.
4. Dies work on different thin materials, including paper, cardstock, specialty foiled or glitter papers
