Again, this list is just for those thicker dies!  Do not try to cut these materials with Framelits or Sizzlits!!!

I also show you how to use the Bigz dies that have score lines on the die cuts with the Crease Pads.  TIP:  If you are going to buy an XL die with score lines (like the Designer Rosette Bigz XL die I show in the video), you need the Extended Crease Pad.  However, you can use this extra-long crease pad with all of your other dies too!  I know it costs more than the Standard one, but you can use it for ALL of these dies whereas the Standard one will only work with the non-XL ones.  Depends on your plans…I have both because I had the Standard one first, but if you want to save a bit of money that’s just a tip for you! 🙂
