What to do when your thinlit and framelit dies don't cut like new?

So recently one of my customers called me to say their Stampin' UP! framelits do not cut like they used to. She thought you had to throw them away and was a bit disappointed. No, you don't have to throw them away, you just have to give them a little bit of TLC. 

First, you need your Big Shot, cutting plates, platform, framelits or thinlits dies and aluminum foil.

Next, you need to make your sandwich and these are the steps:

1. platform
2. cutting plate
3. 2 to 3 layers of aluminum foil covering the die
4. your thinlit or framelit
5. cutting plate

Lastly, you run this sandwich through your Big Shot 2 to 3 times being sure to readjust or re-add your foil, your dies should be good to go just like new.

Here is a YouTube video to show you how: SwirlydoosKits
