Troubleshooting
Die not cutting cleanly
Ensure you are using the correct plate combination for your die-cutting machine. Try adding a shim (thin cardstock) to your sandwich. Check that the cutting edge of the die is clean and undamaged.
Embossing is not deep enough
Verify you are using the correct embossing plate or mat for your machine. Ensure the die is correctly oriented and that the pressure setting on your machine is appropriate for embossing.
Material sticks to the die
