Premium and Extended Crease Pads

We recommend the Premium Crease Pads and Extended Premium Crease Pads when using rule-based dies with score lines. The crease pads provide a flexible cutting surface that produces clean cuts and well-defined score lines. When using the crease pads, you should layer your sandwich to pass through the Big Shot in the following way (starting from the bottom):
  1. Standard or Extended Cutting Pad
  2. Shim (optional)
  3. Die, blade up
  4. Material to be cut
  5. Premium or Extended Premium Crease Pad*
Shims are used to add thickness to the sandwich passing through the Big Shot machine, applying more pressure to the die and resulting in deeper score lines and embossed images. Plastic shims are included with each crease pad, but you can also use text-weight paper or card stock as a shim.
The necessity of shims will vary among users. Due to the tolerable variances in the measurements of all products associated with cutting, results can slightly differ depending on the material being cut, the die being used, or even from one Big Shot machine to another. You should experiment to identify what works best (shim, no shim, extra shim, etc.) for the material you are cutting and the die you are using.
*Use the Premium Crease Pad with Originals or Bigz dies. Use the Extended Premium Crease Pad with Bigz XL dies.

The very next time I read a blog, I hope that
it does not fail me as much as this particular one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice
to read through, however I really believed you would have something helpful to
say. All I hear is a bunch of moaning about something that you could
possibly fix if you weren't too busy seeking attention.
