Die Cutting

Hi Girls,
Today I'm posting about a discovery I found in the Hot Topics on Splitcoaststampers.  For me this was like a light bulb went on, and I though "Now why didn't I think of that". You know, we've all had this happen to us....maybe your light bulb has been on longer than mine, if so just skip this.
You know how your bottom plate (the one you use to cut with) on your Big Shot or what ever die cutting machine you use always bows and we're always having to flip it, or just put up with the cover in the plate. will in this weeks "Hot Topics" it talked about Self healing mats Here.  After reading and re-reading I ordered the  Dahle Ventage 10680 Self-Healing 5-layer cutting mat  9" X 12" .  It came last night, so I had hubby cut it in half so now I have two 9"x6" cutting mats... I did use a thin piece of cardboard for a shim, but let me say it Cuts Like a charm.... I am so please with it I had to post so maybe someone else will have a "Now why didn't I think of that" moment.

I LOVE to read ALL Comments, so please leave one!!!!!
Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!
