I have the parisain Motif's from Spellbinders and I have trouble with he big die cut. It will not cut through all the way in some spots.. I have to shim it up and run it throughabout 4 times and maybe I can get it out.. I should have took it back I think.. I like the die cut so persevere... The smaller ones, seem to work...
I did read some where that if you put wax paper between the die cut and the paper you are using they will come out easily... I know it is frustrating

Does anyone have any tried and true tips? I never have a problem with cheery lynn or memory box or marianne dies getting the cardstock out of the die.
I need to finish up two more March swaps so won't be on for a while this evening. Just wanted to check in with regards to the Moroccan die 'cause I promised Donna I'd send her some cutouts...it may take a while Donna!
Vickie, try cutting with wax paper a couple of times and if that doesn't work put the wax paper in the die first, then the cardstock and cut with it in there. I know that works because I had trouble with Fleur de Lis die and it helped....
No Donna!! Yvonne is not clever......she didn't get the ladybug card made......Kathy and Lynn did!
Yvonne, I have to thank you again for those cricut cut flourishes and doilies. I borrowed a friends little cricut and it made me realize how long it takes to do all of that! I used my new Flower Shoppe cartridge and cut quite a few pieces. Plan to take the cricut back to her this weekend and let her have the cartridge. I can always use it whenever I need to. Saturday is card class day!!! I can't wait.
Well ladies, I have to log off. I have to be at the hospital at 6:30, scheduled for 8:00 a.m. procedure. I think I should be home by 11 if all goes well. I would appreciate prayers. Hope I can sleep tonight. Goodnight JimBob and Aunt MaryEllen

Never say never! I did pull out my wax paper, rubbed it all over the die and all over the cardstock, then cut and the cuts release easily now. Oh, and first I did run the die through with old cutting plates without paper a couple times to take the "edge" off because it seemed the cardstock was becoming embedded into the cutting edges within the die.

Where are my manners! Hi Lisa, Lynn, Donna, Kathy, Yvonne, Lauren, Dawn, Marion, and everyone!
Thanks for all the tips. I think the problem was the die cutting too deep...it was cutting for sure, and the cardstock was becoming embedded in the die. After running it (the larger dies of the Moroccan Motif set) through a couple times without cardstock that helped take the edge off and now the cardstock doesn't get embedded.
I actually really can't eat them!! I have Celiac and am alergic to gluten which is found in wheat, oats, rye and barley. So anything with any of those ingredients in them, I can't eat....but it's okay.....I can watch you all eat them!! lol
Oh man Yvonne, I would starve? See you are clever because you have to come up with ideas to make things totally different than how most people would. Like I said.....I would starve
yipeee!
But yippeee for sound
I have just finished my entry for this week's cheery lynn challenge!! YaY!!! gonna go post
