I have a very simple and easy tip to share today.

Am I the only one? If you find that you do the same, keep reading for a quick tip to save yourself time and effort!

Before I share today’s tip, I’ll mention a bit about die cutting machines.

Again, I feel silly sharing this, but we’ve come this far so I guess I’ll finish. The little pieces on your cutting plates, leftover after die cutting…do you pick them off one by one? Next time, just grab a paper and use it to scrape them all off at once.

That’s it! Pretty simple, right? But it’s so much easier!
