Try it Tuesday: Seth Apter Twisters Dies

  • Mar 30
  • 2 min read


If you love texture, layers, and a little bit of grungy mixed media magic, the Sizzix Seth Apter Twisters Dies are such a fun addition to your creative stash.


This week’s Try It Tuesday feature is all about using these versatile dies to create dimensional focal points for handmade cards, junk journals, ATCs, collage work, and mixed media projects.


What makes these dies so unique is their organic shape. They instantly add movement and layered interest to your projects without needing a lot of extra embellishments.


Why We Love the Twisters Dies

These dies are incredibly versatile and work beautifully with:

  • Mixed media backgrounds

  • Distress Oxides

  • Vintage papers

  • Textured cardstock

  • Layered collage projects

  • ATCs and art journals

  • Handmade cards


The imperfect circular shapes create a natural layered look that feels artistic and modern while still fitting beautifully into vintage and grungy styles.


Ideas for Using the Twisters Dies

1. Layer Multiple Cuts

Try cutting several sizes from different papers and stacking them together with foam adhesive for extra dimension.


2. Ink the Edges

Blend Distress Oxides or Archival Ink around the edges to add depth and definition.


3. Use for Junk Journals

These shapes are perfect for creating layered tuck spots, focal clusters, and interactive embellishments inside junk journals.


4. Create Quick Cards

Add a layered Twister focal point to a simple background, stamp a sentiment, and you have an easy mixed media card with tons of visual interest.


Perfect for Mixed Media Artists

The Twisters Dies work especially well for creators who enjoy:

  • grunge styles

  • layered collage

  • abstract art

  • vintage textures

  • dimensional paper crafting


Because the shapes are intentionally organic, every project ends up looking a little different — which makes them incredibly fun to experiment with.
