Border Metal Dies -- Scallop, Lacy & Decorative Edges

Border dies are the workhorses of any die collection. A single decorative edge can transform a plain strip of cardstock into a polished design element -- and our members use them on almost every layout.

We've designed over 10 exclusive border dies ranging from delicate lacy scallops to bold fringe edges. Every one is manufactured specifically for Hip Kit Club and coordinates with our monthly kit collections.

Types of Border Dies

• Scallop borders. Classic rounded edges that never go out of style. Perfect for matting photos or creating decorative strips.
• Lacy borders. Intricate openwork patterns that add elegance to formal layouts, wedding pages, and heritage albums.
• Fringe borders. Textured, organic-looking edges that work beautifully on boho and nature-themed pages.
• Fancy edge borders. Unique decorative edges that add visual interest to any straight line on your layout.

Tips for Working with Border Dies

• Run a 12-inch strip of cardstock through your machine for full-width borders.
• Layer two different border strips (one slightly wider) for a dimensional matted edge.
• Use border dies on the edges of photo mats to add a finished, professional look.
• Try cutting borders from patterned paper -- the pattern shows through the openwork beautifully.
