Some have you have asked for hints on cutting highly detailed dies and I found this great video created by Cheery Lynn Designs that I thought might help.
It's got a couple of awesome tips in there that I didn't know. Check it out. It might help.
That's the video I watched several months ago that really helped me get the most out of my dies!! Even if you *think* you don't need help, you should watch it, I learned a few things!!
I definitely separated mine! It's much easier to do the eggs separately. I even took a pair or wire cutters and made sure the egg didn't have little bits of metal where they connected, that way I can emboss the egg shape too! It looks preetty cute!
I agree with Julie. And it's a great way to use up scraps, too. I just run it through at the same time I'm running through another die, just 'cause I'm lazy that way.
Very cool Noelle!! I NEED to get new plates!! My C plate is going to totally break in 2 any time now - it's about 2/3 cracked. EEK!!
I know I am totally loving that Floral Doily die and I also cannot seem to stop using the Queen of Hearts die - love that!!
Julie, my C plate had actually broken, but was still just big enough to cut my thin dies! LOL, I used it like that for YEARS! But I am really pleased with how clean and perfect the cuts are with the new plates. I still want the long plates though! Next time I won't wait so long. Can't wait to check out this video!
Haha, I think that may be what I do very soon unless I can get to the store. I really should have a back up on hand! OR maybe it's time to break down and buy a Big Shot... hhmmmmm!!
You know... that crossed my mind, too! Maybe just time to upgrade to a better machine! but, I really was pleased with how clean the cuts are with the new plates. It was like "oh yeah, THAT'S how it's supposed to work!

Wow! Just by getting new plates? That's good to know. And so much better than getting a whole new machine.
