SANDWICHES IN THE NOOK
WHEN USING DIE CUTTING MACHINES SUCH AS THE SIZZIX BIG SHOT. THE SPELLBINDERS PLATINUM 6. THE GKD INTRI-CUT, AND OTHER OR THE MACHINES FOR USING EMBOSSING FOLDERS - IT IS IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT "SANDWICHES" YOU NEED TO CREATE TO HAVE THE BEST RESULTS. SANDWICHES ARE THE ORDER IN WHICH YOU PLACE PLATFORMS. PLATES, DIES, CARDSTOCK (OR USING EMBOSSING FOLDERS).
SIZZIX HAS CREATED A HANDY GUIDE:
General Die-Cutting Sandwich:
Multipurpose Platform (Tab 2): This forms the base of the sandwich.
Cutting Pad: One cutting pad is used for most dies.
Paper/Cardstock: The material you're cutting or embossing.
Die: The die you want to use.
Cutting Pad: Another cutting pad is used to top the sandwich.
Specific Sandwich Configurations:
Spellbinders Dies: Use a Magnetic Placement Pad over the die, then a Standard Cutting Pad.
Cuttlebug Dies: Use Multipurpose Platform Tab 2 and Tab 1, followed by a Standard Cutting Pad.
Sizzix Texturz Folders: Use a Multipurpose Platform Tab 1, NO TABS, and a Texturz Plate.
Dynamic Embossing Folders: Use one Standard Cutting Pad on top.
Thinlits/Framelits: Use the Big Shot Platform, Precision Base Plate, and Thin Die Adapter.
2 1/2 inch Embossing Folders: Use a Multipurpose Platform NO TAB and a Standard Cutting Pad.
Standard Embossing Folders: Use two Standard Cutting Pads.
Dynamic Embossing Folders: Use one Standard Cutting Pad.
Key Considerations:
Never run anything through the Big Shot without a cutting pad on top .
Refer to specific instructions for the type of die or folder you're using .
The Big Shot machine comes with a Big Shot Platform and a pair of Standard Cutting Pads, plus an adaptor for use with thinlits/framelits .
Consider using the extended multi-purpose platform for larger projects .
