Default Art Deco Background Dies

I'm looking for a background die that's art deco-ish. I've been searching unsuccessfully online for a while now. If anybody could point me in a direction of some companies that have A2-sized background dies I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks!

Wonder if you meant "background embossing folders" instead of "dies"?

Dies generally cut out shapes, and the embossing folders are usually used for backgrounds.

There are lots of embossing folders from Cuttlebug and Darice that I think look "Art Deco."

If you meant dies that cut the paper, some of the Spellbinders dies are quite intricate and are designs that would also look like "Art Deco."

Do you happen to have access to an electronic cutter? Waltzingmouse Stamps has a set of three beautiful Art Deco cut files (a bargain at only 99p which is about $1.54 at the current exchange rate!). They're sized for a full card front and you can see them here .

Oh wow I love those cut files. I've been wanting to find files like that for a while now. Thanks.

Oh, I wish I had a Silhouette! Unfortunately I've only got a Big Shot and Cricut (the original). There are so many beautiful cut files out there and that's exactly what I'm looking for Joanne.

That's a shame. It looks as if there's a move to lobby Provocraft for support for svg files in Cricut Craft Room - I'm not sure if that would help you but if so, see the details on this page (scroll down to "when will I be able to cut SVG files in Cricut Craftroom").

You're welcome! Claire has some freebie files on offer as well (some to match stamp sets and others just for various stand alone projects) so it's worth a look around in the cut files section of the site!

I'm looking for something along these lines only more art deco-ish.

Papertrey Ink, Taylored Expressions, My Favorite Things, Lil' Inker Designs and Simon Says Stamp are the places I have bought the coverplate dies.
