Recently I was asked what is the difference between framelits and thinlits?\u00a0 To be honest that never crossed my mind as I just used it interchangeably in my projects.\u00a0 For me as long as it did it’s job that is to cut my design I didn’t care if I was using one or the other.\u00a0 It wasn’t until someone asked me on Facebook-Framelit or Thinlit? What is the difference? Did it get me thinking.\u00a0 So What is the Difference?<\/p>\n

\"Framelits<\/a><\/p>\n

Framelits has an open center so you can place them anyplace you want on a stamped image.\u00a0 You can use two of the same shape in different sizes to make a frame.\u00a0 The magnetic plate is wonderful when working with these since it will hold the Framelit in one place.\u00a0 These are very useful and come in a wide variety of shapes.\u00a0 They are grouped so each is either smaller or larger then the one next to it.<\/p>\n

Thinlits are detailed dies.\u00a0 These have very detailed patterns and usually need to be run through the Big Shot several times.\u00a0 Often, they are word dies where the letters connect with each other.\u00a0 It is best to use the Precision Plate with this type of die.\u00a0 This gives a more precise cut.\u00a0 The very detailed dies can often be hard to remove the intricate small pieces.\u00a0 The Precision Plate gives a sharper cut and helps avoid picking out those unwanted little pieces.<\/p>\n

Some thinlits such as those for boxes and other 3-D shapes do not need the Precision Plate.\u00a0 This type of thinlit or framelits may warp if used with the Precision Plate because they are made of a much thinner metal.\u00a0 Use the Precision Plate only with the heavier, detailed dies.<\/p>\n

In some of our Stampin\u2019Up dies, there may be both Thinlits and Framelits in the package so it is important that you know the difference.\u00a0 You can usually tell by the thickness of the metal.<\/p>\n

Both are wonderful and have many uses.\u00a0 A Big Shot and these dies can take your creativity a step higher.<\/p>\n
