My Be Creative Tip of the Week focuses on Labeling Standard Cutting Pads for the Big Shot. As you have probably experienced in using cutting pads, framelits and thinlits dies will cut and scratch the pads; and eventually warp them and need replacing. Once it begins to warp, it's difficult to roll embossing folders through the Big Shot.
Watch the video below and discover a solution for your cutting pads!
