Essential Drops are a design workhorse that not only gives you the ability to cut shapes you can layer, but cut lovely, delicate frames in the process. This nesting and layering die set is great for shakers, windows, and more. In addition to rain drops or tear drops, use these innovative shapes in journaling, on travel maps, as speech bubbles or as gemstones. This decorative element can be used to create patterns, backgrounds or as standalone motifs. Tear drops symbolize sadness, grief or empathy, so use them in ways to express these feelings. Experiment with different sizes and orientations to create dynamic compositions. Set of 15 dies, packaged on two magnetic sheets.
