die-cuts
Precisely stamped shapes
Die-cuts are shapes cut from paper, cardboard, or other flat materials using a shaped blade or die, rather than scissors or a straight cutter.
The term appears in crafting, packaging, and printing: The scrapbook kit included decorative die-cuts of flowers and butterflies.
As a verb, to die-cut is to produce such shapes: The labels are die-cut to fit the bottle.
