Tutorial: How to use the Premium Crease Pad

For my October Stamping Parties one of the make & takes we are doing is a little holiday Pillow Box using the Big Shot and the Pillow Box Bigz Die.  For the best results, you will also need the Premium Crease Pad – it makes the creases in the pillow box so much better!  This applies to ALL THE DIES WITH SCORE LINES, such the 5-point stat, petal card, the envelope die, and the 3-d circle ornaments.   For my customers who have purchased the Premium Crease Pad or for those of you who are thinking about purchasing it, I thought it would be nice to have a tutorial on exactly how to use it. 

STEP 1: Place BOTH the opaque plastic shim pieces from the Premium Crease Pad package on top of the clear Standard Cutting Pad.

 STEP 2:  Being careful to center it exactly over the plastic ‘shims,’ place the Pillow Box  Bigz die - foam side up - on top of the white plastic shim pieces. 

 

STEP 3:  Next place your cardstock on the die

   

STEP 4:  Place the Premium Crease Pad on top of the cardstock.  This is referred to as a  “sandwich.”

 

STEP 5: Roll your "sandwich" through the Big Shot.

 

STEP 6: As you take the "sandwich" out of the Big Shot, and take the Crease Pad off, you'll see the die has cut the pillow box shape perfectly and made the crease/score lines!

And the finished pillow box.......

Thank you so much for explaining so very clearly how this all works. I am so new at this die cut business and this "sandwich was most confusing to me.
