Sizzix 660058 Thinlits Die Multi

What can I say, I have never met a Tim Holtz product I didn't love! If you plan on making Christmas/winter cards or love scrapbooking, even mixed media Christmas projects, you can't go wrong with these. I just got these yesterday and couldn't wait to try them. They turn out beautifully. I used in my Cuttlebug, every Cuttlebug is different I'm told, so follow instructions but this was the sandwich that worked best for me: (starting at bottom) A Plate, Rubber Mat, B Plate (that I cut on, I always keep one B Plate for bottom and don't cut on it - it runs through machine better), material-face up, Die, face down (use low tack masking tape to tape in place), B Plate (no cut), then I either added a piece of cardstock or a piece of medium weight chipboard on top. As instructions say, run through three times. As long as I did that they popped out perfectly. I did not see a need for the waxed paper or bounce sheet often used to help dies release. You may not need the cardstock or chipboard, and with me sometimes I used one, then the other, it depends, you'll know not to force anything through, as to not break your CBug. You won't regret this purchase, unless you are looking for large words, but these, although are small will make a Hugh impact even on a 12 x 12 scrapbook page and are terrific on cards, tags, etc. Use a glue pen because they are very narrow, it will make the application much easier. By the way, it kind of cuts and embossed at the same time, they look a little puffy, really nice. A tip: if you lay your word(s) out right you can use your negative piece too, put a color behind it or foil cardstock, or distress ink a piece of paper to match your ink color and place behind it, then you can add a frame or whatever too if desired.
