Sorry for asking AGAIN, but you are the Queen of layering ... What kind of white paper do you use when layering and the die cutting the panel? What thickness? I've tried and failed, even though I've used the metal plate. Maybe my panel is too thick. In metric measured I've used about 220 gr (I THINK that's about 80 lb.)Kesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07768857516790176836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8727454534015015475.post-79083630336776696852017-09-26T18:54:58.528-04:002017-09-26T18:54:58.528-04:00Fun card.

So pretty. I had to laugh when I read about how your new Big Shot didn't come with a platform because I had done the same thing with other products. Sometimes I assume too much instead of carefully reading the description. I hope you're back in business soon.

I didn't buy one for the longest time because of the cost, which is very reasonable, but a lot of money for me. It was the best money, by far, I have spent on my card making addiction. Your card is beautiful, as always.
