Welcome to Tuesdays Tips, Tricks, & Techniques!

Each Tuesday I'll high light a nifty tip, trick or technique that will most definitely make you say, "Ohhhh, that's so cool. What a great idea!!"
So for today's Nifty Triple T (Tip, Trick or Technique)...
Perfect Cut everytime. For those of you that LOVE your Big Shot Die Cut Machine, (and who doesn't), how many times have you gone to run your paper through the die cut and you don't quite line the paper up evenly and then outcomes your shape or mis-shape that is..well here's a surefire trick to prevent that from happening anymore. Simply take some sticker paper or shipping label paper (see below)
Now cut the white shipping label paper into the dimensions of your Bigz Die Cut (see below)

Peel off the backing of the white shipping label paper and adhere to your Bigz Die Cut. Then run it through your Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine (see below)

Now peel out the shape and leave the "frame" part adhered to the die-cut shape. Then I like to write the name of the Die-Cut Shape and item # (from the catalog) along with the dimensions of the die-cut shape: i.e. 4.25"x5" - then you always know what size to cut your paper.
