I didn’t know I could get stamps and dies to match. Cool! New Subscriber, I will be back to see more. ❤

Yes that is my favorite thing! & Thanks so much!
I just got the Big Shot Switch yesterday! So great to “save” my arthritic hands, but I’m finding it hard to keep my dies from falling out of place. It’s a big step above my Cuttlebug, for sure!

Find a washi tape you like and you can tape your dies down exactly where you want them! That always helps me, Sizzix actually sells a low tack tape that works really well and won’t ripe your paper! Let me know if you need a link! ☺️
great tutorial thank you

This is a very informative video. Thanks 4 sharing ur knowledge with us. I'm gonna get a manual cutter this week, I'll b working with vinyl though cause I'm using it for customizing certain items. Can't afford a cricut at the moment so this will do.

I have an extended platorm from an old machine. Do you think it is worth while using it with my new sizzix or foldaway

Hello! I think you could try it out, I’m not sure how it would work with the foldaway but sure it would be fine! I love my extended platform 😊

i am curious could I use this for scrapbooking ?

Absolutely! There are a lot of different die cuts out there that work great with scrapbooking, like florals, or even just shapes like circles etc that you could make a pattern or design with for a background! Or as embellishments 😍
Im using the thin die cuts and I get a third of the way thru and it gets really hard to turn.

As long as it’s the correct sandwiching you should be able to force it through, some are harder than others and you’ll hear some cracking noises but that’s normal 😊

I learned the hard way. Be careful how,you put your plates into your machine. Mine went in all wonkkee and I thought I broke it. My husband had to take it all apart and prayed I didn't break it. With lots of prayers he was able to get the plates out and reassemble it

Glad you got it figured out!! Don’t know what I’d do without my die cutting machine 😊
Do you think you could speak up sweetheart? Even with hearing aids I still struggled to hear you and missed a lot of what you said 😢. I’ve subbed for now, but I’ll see how it goes 😉
