Essentials by Ellen Hot Foil Nested Plates are designed to mimic our line of Essential shapes. These leave behind a lovely delicate line of foil, similar to the thin cut the Essential Shape dies leave behind. As a result, the hot foil stamps interact with the dies in the same way the thin cuts do when layering with coordinating shapes and stitching dies. For more versatility, use with coordinating die sets Essential Nesting Squares Designer Dies and Essential Nesting Squares for Stitching Designer Dies.
