Large Paper Doily die

Do you have it yet?  I know you're going to want it once you see this.............

All of these beautiful die-cuts are from the Paper Doily die.  Yes; just one die!  The top left is the full die-cut but if you start trimming a few of the outside curves off you can get all sizes and shapes of doilies and flowers!

***Remember that this die is in the Occasions mini catalog and only available until April 30th.  It 'may' be included in the new catalog but no one knows for sure......

We used it to make this gorgeous card at my Card Clubs:

Here's a few user tips on this die:

• To get many of the fine die-cut pieces to pop out easily roll the die-cut around a thick pen or marker as shown below.  Lots of the pieces pop out on their own this way.  You will most likely have to use a paper piercing tool or tweezers to help push a few of the remaining pieces out.
• Cut this die out using tab A with your Big Shot.  If you do not get a clean cut add a shim starting with a piece of patterned paper in your sandwich.  If that doesn't make it cut cleanly add a thicker piece of paper.  Keep moving up in paper thickness until it cuts cleanly.  All Big Shots are slightly different and some will need a shim and others will not.
