Tuesday Tip/Technique

Hello friends

From the midst of a muddle I bring you Tuesday Tip/Technique!

My shop doesn't look so pretty now, lots of things dismantled, stock being boxed up

but needs must and I am enjoying having a good sort through of things.

I've found items that I had completely forgotten I owned but I think that is

pretty normal for a crafter!

In between my muddle mayhem I thought today I would talk about sandwiches - 

specifically Grand Calibur sandwiches.

All you seasoned crafters know your cutting and embossing sandwiches but

for any 'newbies' out there:

Cutting - the 'traditional' cutting sandwich, A Base Plate, die with cutting edge upwards,
cardstock, C Cutting Plate.

Cutting - the sandwich that most tend to adopt after a while as you can align your dies more easily.
C Cutting Plate, cardstock, die with cutting edge downwards, A Base Plate.

Embossing - A Base Plate, die with die cut inside - cutting edge upwards,
tan mat (squidgy mat!), B Embossing Plate

Now we move onto using Impressabilities
A Base Plate, Impressabilities (there is no right or wrong side to these)
cardstock, tan mat, B Embossing Plate.

Double sided M-Bossabilities - A Base Plate, M-Bossabilities folder with cardstock inside,
D Adapter Plate.

3D M-Bossabilities - now this is the only sandwich where you abandon your A Base Plate!

The best way to remember this sandwich is 'think pink!'
B Embossing Plate, 3D M-Bossabilities folder with cardstock inside,
D Adapter Plate.

I hope that has helped today, the plates I use nearly all the time are the
Junior size as you feed them into the machine landscape and there is less winding.
I sold out of these on Saturday but more are on their way.
The Raspberry Adapter plates are available in both sizes here.

Right, back to sorting!
Take care friends - I'm back soon.
