Here’s a detailed look at what sets it apart:High-Quality Construction Materials: Built with a durable wood board and a premium Japan steel blade, this cutting die is designed to withstand repeated use without losing its edge. The wood board provides a stable foundation, while the Japan steel ensures razor-sharp cuts that penetrate leather effortlessly, minimizing fraying or uneven edges.Three-Layer Design for Enhanced Functionality: The set includes three distinct dies: one for the top layer with a horizontal slot, one for the middle layer with a trapezoidal shape, and one for the bottom layer with a rectangular card pocket. This layered approach allows for a structured card holder that can securely hold multiple cards while maintaining a slim profile. The finished size of 72mm x 103mm is compact yet spacious, fitting standard card dimensions perfectly.Variant Options for Customization:With Stitching Holes: This version comes with pre-perforated holes along the edges, spaced evenly for straightforward stitching. It saves time and ensures alignment, making it ideal for hand-sewing or machine-stitching projects.Without Stitching Holes: For those who prefer full control over their assembly, this variant offers clean, unperforated edges. It’s perfect for alternative methods like gluing, riveting, or custom stitching patterns, allowing for greater creativity.Precision and Efficiency: Each die is engineered for accuracy, with sharp contours that match the natural folds and pockets of a card holder. The design includes thoughtful elements like angled edges for easy card access and reinforced areas for durability. This precision reduces errors, making it suitable for batch production.Versatility in Applications: Beyond card holders, the patterns can be adapted for similar small leather goods, such as coin pouches or key holders. The compact size makes it easy to store and transport, and its compatibility with various leather thicknesses adds to its utility.Package Includes: 3PCSStatement: If there are any defects on the wooden board, it will not affect its use and is not a quality problem. Please understand.How to Make a Card Case at Home Using Shock Crafts Leather Card Holder Cutting Die :Using the cutting die is straightforward, even for beginners. Follow these step-by-step instructions to create your own three-layered leather card holder:Gather Your Materials: You’ll need vegetable-tanned leather (or your preferred type), a mallet or hydraulic press, edge tools for finishing, thread and needles for stitching (if using the variant with holes), and any dyes or conditioners for customization. Select the die variant—with or without stitching holes—based on your assembly preference.Prepare the Leather: Cut your leather into manageable pieces slightly larger than the die dimensions. Ensure the leather is flat and conditioned to prevent cracking during cutting.Cut Each Layer: Start with the top die (horizontal slot): Place it blade-side down on the leather and apply firm, even pressure using a mallet or press. Repeat for the middle (trapezoidal) and bottom (rectangular pocket) dies. The Japan steel blade will create clean cuts, and the wood board base provides stability.Assemble the Layers: Stack the three cut pieces: bottom layer first, then middle, and top. Align the edges carefully.With Stitching Holes: Thread your needle and sew through the pre-punched holes, using a saddle stitch for strength. This ensures even spacing and a polished look.Without Stitching Holes: Mark your own stitch lines with a pricking iron or awl, then sew, or use leather glue/rivets for a no-sew option.Finish the Edges: Once assembled, burnish the edges with a slicker tool and apply edge paint or beeswax for a smooth, professional finish. Add any personal touches, like embossing initials or coloring the layers for a multi-tone effect.Test and Refine: Insert cards to check fit—the 72mm x 103mm size should hold 4-6 cards comfortably. If needed, adjust future cuts based on leather thickness.Bulk Production (Optional): For larger-scale projects, repeat the process to cut multiple card pouches efficiently. The cutting die’s compatibility with presses ensures consistent results, making it ideal for craft fairs or small business production.Leather Thickness Recommendations:For most projects, we recommend using full-grain or top grain cowhide leather, which is available in various types and textures suitable for different needs.Bags: • Exterior: 1.8mm-2.0mm • Interior: 1.0mm-1.5mm Wallets: • Exterior: 1.5mm-1.8mm • Interior: 0.8mm-1.0mm Card Holders: Recommended leather thickness – 1.5mmNote: Interior leather includes materials used for the internal compartment, lining, and pocket.Check out Shock Crafts High Quality Leather Collections for more options.
