Paper Wishes has several die cutting machine options. This video will demonstrate the manual Big Shot by Sizzix and the Gemini Junior electronic die cutting machine by Crafter’s Companion. Both machines have 6” wide openings and Paper Wishes also sells others that have have larger 9” wide openings.
We also discuss “recipes” for using cutting plates and platform layers to get the correct fit for each cutting die. Always check manufacturer’s instructions as machines will vary.
A “sandwich” refers to the order that elements are placed on the machine platform: Plate, cardstock, cutting die (cutting side down) and plate. Crank the “sandwich” through the machine while holding the handle firmly.
Tip: Turn the plastic cutting plates over after each use to prevent curving. It’s important to keep the plates as flat as possible to provide even distribution of pressure.
A shim is an item, such as scrap cardstock, a thick plastic self-healing cutting mat or a metal plate. Any of these shims can be used for eliminating extra space as the die moves through the machine. A shim can be necessary when an area of a die isn’t cutting smoothly and may need more pressure for a clean cut.
In our next video I’ll show you how to use the same machine for Embossing Folders.
