Hi guys, Good morning. I just found a cool sketch that was just posted that I want to do. Since I only got my Big Shot a year ago, I am not sure. I will do some test ones but are there any tips for cutting pics with my circle QK in my Big Shot? How about blue painter tape. What about dots that rub off?
Thanks guys. I am probably the on;y one who does not know.

I haven't had any problems with those ultra-thin dies in my Big Shot. Is there a reason you're considering adhesives?

hey bunny, I have never had a problem with anything. I am cutting a circle on 4x6 pics. I was afraid it might slip. I guess I should just cut by hand. lol no stress. thanks hon.

When I use a circle or oval thin die on my pics I always just put a sticky note across one or two places to make sure it doesn't move. They come right off with no damage to the picture.

I use a piece of removable scotch tape to hold it in place...

Sticky notes work well and very inexpensive!

Ah, I see what you mean. When I'm using up small scraps of paper with dies, I use a bit of scotch tape to hold the pieces in place.

There's a new magnetic platform set that just came out by Genius. It includes three platforms similar to the Cuttlebug A, B, and C thicknesses, but longer to accommodate long folders, and very strong to last a long time. Only the A platform is magnetic, to keep metal dies in place.
