It’s easy! Grab your Big Shot Machine (660200) and Standard Cutting Pads (655093) to get started Firstly place your chosen paper or cardstock inside the folder (for best results when using cardstock spray a little water on the material before placing inside the folder This will help to create an even deeper impression!)
