Cuttlebug Sandwhiches:
I'm definately going to put this in my Cricut Binder:

Cuttlebug Sandwiches - Important Sandwiching Notes:

· Always err on the THIN side; you can pass the sandwich through the machine again, but if you start out too thick, you can potentially break a plate or otherwise hurt your new ‘bug!
· If a cardstock or chipboard shim is noted, always try the sandwich without first, then add cut-to-size (the size of the plates) cardstock or chipboard layers until the appropriate thickness of the sandwich is determined.
· Based on feedback, the space inside the Cuttlebugs differ from machine to machine, so be SURE to error on the THIN-STACK side!
