Paper Doily Die Tips from Carrie Cudney...

 Some of you have asked questions about the Paper Doily Die... 
Carrie Cudney from Stampin' Up! Shows a few Tips and Tricks. Hope this Helps You!

A few tips and tricks:
  • Because of variations in materials, you will most likely need to use a shim (such as piece of card stock) when you send it through the Big Shot. (I like to use 2 Shims)
  • The detailed intricacy comes with a little added work. The negative pieces will not come out automatically when you cut the die. 
    • It may take a little time to remove all the cut pieces from the die-cut paper. Remove the pieces by poking or punching them out. Carefully, push the pieces through the cut design and remove them from the back. Make sure you work from the front side of the doily (the side that was face-down when it was cut) and push the pieces through; if you try to pull them out from the front or if you push them through from the back side, the doily might tear. To make it easier, gently roll the die-cut paper to pop out some of the larger pieces.
    • Push the pieces out using the Paper-Piercing Tool or the small end of the Simply Scored Stylus. 
    • The front side will look completely cut through, however, the back side may not. This is normal with this die, and if you follow the directions of removing the small pieces you will find that the die has cut through the paper. 
  • Because of the intricate design of this die, small pieces might stick in the foam on the actual die. Clear all small pieces from the die before using it again. This will ensure you get a clean cut every time. Remove the remaining pieces by using your Paper-Piercing Tool, being careful not to tear the foam on the die. 
 The most important thing to remember is that with the intricate delicacy and detail comes some added work.  However, you will find with the gorgeous finished piece, the little bit of extra effort is totally worth it!


You can earn one free product for every $50 you spend from January 24th to
March 31st. Contact me to see the ways you can earn FREE product!

Until Next Time... Happy Stampin!
