MHLS Home Shape Cutting Dies and Equipment

Dies (Alphabetical) | Dies (By categories) | Borrowing | Other Resources
NOTE: We have three Accucut shape cutting machines, and both Ellison and Accucut dies, listed below. These machines will cut multiple crisp copies and can be used with heavier card stock and craft foam, although you may not be able to get as many copies per cut. Machines and dies can be borrowed for a 2-week period. Machines are easy to use but bear in mind that they are VERY heavy. You are welcome to come to Mid-Hudson to use them; don't forget to bring your own paper. We also will make cut shapes for you at Mid-Hudson, given 2 weeks notice (and availability of die shapes), if you send us your paper (100 piece limit per order, please) Please do not send paper that is bigger than 11 x 17.

Use your imaginations and think of new ways these dies may be used--flannelboard pieces, gifts, fundraising publicity, library promotional bookmarks, program handouts, personnel awards, bulletin board displays, library directional signs... If you think of something original, let us know.

To get a sense of the machines, dies and possible project ideas, go to these sites:

Shape Cutting Dies

Die shapes listed below are available from Mid-Hudson (or Mahopac Library--contact them directly). Generally, the cutout size will be 4-5". If exact size is critical to your project, please contact us to borrow the brand new diecut binder. Now you can see what the shapes will look like before you borrow all of the dies and that heavy machine! You can also type the name of the die into the Search box on the AccuCut site.
