my cuttlebug hates this die! i shim and shim and it takes an act of congress to get it to cut cleanly...maybe i need new cutting plates...maybe i need a big shot LOL
First: *THUD* GOR-JUS! Second: get the thin metal shim. it's awesome with detailed dies. Third: You probably do need the Big Shot, but try the metal shim first - it's way less $$. :D
Just Lovely. maybe you just need a new cuttlebug! :) I don't have this die but my cuttlebug doesn't seem to have problems with thin dies. also try layers of washi tape on the back of the die...I saw Jennifer McGuire use that trick once!
i have the same issue, mainly with the MB dies, and i have a cuttlebug as well. i've read the metal shim works wonders. i've also read that the big shot does it all, no additional shims really necessary. i'm thinking about trying the shim first... cheaper of the two options.

Well for all your struggles your card sure came out fabulous! So pretty and elegant :)
Lovely card. I highly recommend the Big Shot. I've had mine for years and it cuts anything or everything.
STUNNING. simply gorgeous.
