Tip When Using Thinlits Dies

I am in the middle of creating 60+ cards for our team card swap at the Stampin' Up! Convention coming up soon.  Members of our team will be meeting to swap cards that we have made.  I used my Tropical Thinlits Dies so many times that the card stock was beginning to stick to the dies. If this ever happens to you, here's a tip:
Although our Thinlits Dies come designed with tiny holes through which to poke a die pick, helping to release the shapes, sometimes the card stock become difficult to remove from the dies. In order to free the dies after cutting, place a piece of wax paper or a dryer sheet between the die and the card stock before cutting. You'll be amazed how quickly and easily the card stock will release from the die.

Laura's Stamping Place - Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder

The beautiful new Swirls & Curls Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on Page 5 of the 2018 Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog gives a wonderful impression without any other help. 
Here's a tip. If you are having issues with getting great definition with any of your older embossing folders, try lightly spritzing your card stock before putting it into the embossing folder and running it through your Big Shot.  It definitely gives your card stock more definition. The card stock on the left was embossed without spritzing and the card stock on the right was lightly spritzed with water.
