Welcome to tip # 1 using your Cuttlebug and dies

I hate a big mess with adhesives, and can't stand it when glue seeps from underneath a great piece of art work.So what do i do when i want to die cut a delicate piece...

1. Choose your patterned paper

2. Adhere strips of double sided tape to tha back of the paper large enough to cover your die

3. Place the die onto your cutting plate, then the paper face down and send through your Cuttlebug

4. Remove the die cut paper from the die
5. You know have a ready to adhere die cut element - no fuss no mess

This is such an easy thing to do and yet people are still struggling with liquid adhesives. this quick and easy way will save you lots of time.

if you have a sticker maker machine that works too, but i have found that they also have limitations, where this way i am yet to find any issues.

so there you have it - add tape to die-cuts even before cutting....
