![]() ![]() Each die cutting machine will have minute differences in pressure and each die will have minute differences in manufacturing tolerances so sometimes adjustments are necessary and it's perfectly normal. I find it handy to note on my die storage (in my case my handy dandy zipper baggies!) when I need a custom sandwich. Start with the thinnest additional layer and build up as needed. A shim is simply an additional piece of scrap cardstock, a piece of thin chipboard, etc. If your sandwich is too thick and you do try to force it through, you could permanently damage your die cutting machine and all the components in your sandwich! If you run your sandwich through your machine and you are not getting a clean enough cut or no cut at all, try adding a “shim”. ![]() One thing to remember when using ALL dies is to NEVER force your sandwich through your die cutting machine. Almost every card game contains rules requiring (or at least suggesting) a cut be made, usually right after the dealer shuffles the deck in preparation for dealing. Stampin' Up! currently offer six traditional steel rule dies, all of which make fabulous 3-D items! The cutting of the deck of cards is a procedure in which someone removes a portion of the deck, usually from the top of the deck and places this portion under the remaining cards. These powerful dies can cut through cardstock, metallic foil, mat board, paper, vellum, foam, magnet sheets, leather and more. Traditional dies (three final products using these dies shown above) like the BigZ and Originals carried by Stampin' Up!, are different in that they are constructed with the cutting surface – a steel strip formed into the shape you want to cut – embedded in a dense foam that compresses when run through your die cutting machine. ![]()
