Dove and cross stained glass window die

Create thoughtful and meaningful handmade projects with the Dove and cross stained glass window die.

This decorative craft die features a dove and cross set within an intricate stained-glass-style window design. The peaceful imagery makes it ideal for religious cards, sympathy projects, remembrance designs, christenings, confirmations and other meaningful occasions.

The die measures approximately 5cm x 7.7cm, making it a useful size for standard card fronts, decorative panels, journal pages and handmade toppers. Cut the design from plain cardstock for a clean finish or layer it over coloured card, vellum or acetate to create a stained glass effect.

This metal cutting die is compatible with most leading die-cutting machines. Due to the detailed design, we recommend using a metal shim for the best cutting results. You may also need to rotate the die or pass it through your machine more than once, depending on your machine, plates and chosen material.

How to Use

Place the craft die onto your chosen card or paper with the cutting edge facing down.

Pass the die through your machine and carefully remove the cut design. A poking tool or die-release tool may help when removing the smaller detailed sections.
