A while ago, I posted information on using folded waxed paper (?) to help release die cuts from dies.
Does anyone remember that tip? I can't find it again.

Re: Dies and waxed paper
I've used the dryer sheet technique..... I DO like it for getting things to cut well.. but then it also makes an embossed dot where the pokey holes are in the dies... so you have to flatten those back out...
haven't played with the waxed paper much... maybe this weekend!!

Re: Dies and waxed paper
Debi, please explain the dryer sheet technique to me. I about that today but the gal said 'you can use the dryer sheets over and over again'; I'm envisioning them between the paper and die but I guess that' not correct?

Re: Dies and waxed paper
Best scrap hack ever! And thanks for the right-click reminder, Pam
Re: Dies and waxed paper
That's the one for getting those pesky tiny bits to come out. Yay!!
Jennifer McGuire does one called Die Cutting Tips. She uses dryer sheets just to coat her die and cutting mat so the tiny pieces stay in. Then she colors them in so it looks like inflated bits.

Re: Dies and waxed paper
I still use the teflon Reynolds wrap. I have had great luck with that.
