Some tips for die-cutting with the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Die:

• Use the following sandwich with your Big Shot to get the best die-cutting finish. Starting from the bottom...

1. Magnetic Platform
2. Precision Base Plate
3. Cardstock or paper to be cut
4. Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Die, blade down
5. Standard Cutting Pad (comes with your Big Shot)

• The strongest cut for a Big Shot is on the edges of the platform. I suggest you place your card stock with the Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Die on the left-hand side, roll it through your Big Shot and back again. Then move it to the right-hand side, roll it through your Big Shot and back again.
• A good check to see if you have successfully die-cut the Bloomin' Heart is to turn it over and check that you can see the cut-lines on the back. Also the outside edge should easily peal off.
• Use the Big Shot Die Brush to easily remove all the small pieces.
• Protect your Glimmer Paper when die-cutting by placing the die on the back of the paper. This is especially true for the intricate Bloomin' Heart Thinlits Die.
