About Die Cut Shapes & Phrases

When you need the perfect decoration for your scrapbooking and paper crafting projects, try die cuts from CraftDirect.com. American Crafts call their shape sets ephemera. Most paper crafters have machines and materials for making their die-cut shapes, but that can be tedious, and sometimes, you just need a quick solution for decorating. Also, some very unique designs are available here that you probably wouldn't be able to replicate exactly. It's easier just to buy them.

Types of Die Cut Shapes

There are many commonalities among our ephemera packs and themed sets of scrapbook die cuts. Nearly all of them come in sets that match a theme, for example, holidays like Valentine's, Christmas, and Halloween. Other themes are topical, like pirates and mermaids, or based on color schemes. 

If you are looking for unique solutions, each set of die-cut shapes has its own personality. Try the Heidi Swapp MINC ephemera packs if you want an extra special project. They use a process called foil fusion to add a touch of foil to each design and they look amazing.
