 Key-Hole System

Experience perfect die-cut layering every time with Altenew's Key-Hole System! We've revolutionized the way you create layered designs with dies that seamlessly fit together, ensuring flawless results.

Altenew's Key-Hole System features cleverly designed shapes, including a keyhole, an arrow, and an isosceles triangle, with the potential for additional shapes in the future. These shapes serve as foolproof guides for super-easy layering. Simply line up the small die-cut shapes, and you're good to go! They also make it a breeze for you to identify which die-cuts belong together. For instance, in a set with two layering images, all layers for one image will feature the keyhole cutout, while the other image's layers will display the arrow cutout. You'll always know the correct orientation because these cutouts align in only one way.

But we didn't stop there! To make layering even simpler, we've debossed numbers onto the die-cuts. The die-cut labeled with number 1 will be your base layer, and you'll stack subsequent layers in numerical order. With Altenew's Keyhole System, achieving impeccable layering has never been easier or more foolproof. Say goodbye to guesswork and hello to stunning, perfectly layered designs every time you craft!
