Georgie are these any help - ETA CT you beat me too it

Thank you to you as well, just re-read my original message send from yesteday addled brain, and it sounds like I wanted other people to do searching for me, which is true, but I had already had looked, and was unable to find anything - it never crossed my mind to look for colouring pages. So Thanks to all of you who has opened my eyes to this new (to me) resource.

CT, Pink Gem has a freebie girl in the bath image at the mo, any good?

I love this image, and may well have to utilise it fo the baby girl card I need to make.

Went to bed at about 9 last night, and can't say I feel a whole lot better this morning, got a meeting today about the "restructure" and the consultation process - but it's nearly the weekend.:T

Ladies I have a new arrival It's pink and black and weighs a hefty amount

So I had got some dies I bought in the Hobbycraft sale but I am confused as how to use the multipurpose platform. I used a Sizzlits Die on the number 1 tab, sandwiched between the plastic cutting plates. Now it cut the image fine (although I was worried I was going to break the machine as it went through ) but it's actually cut an impression on the plastic cutting plate - it's this correct?!
I confess I haven't found the instructions to be that user friendly

I have a Bigz die which I believe you don't use the multipurpose platform for? I've got extra long sizzlits which I need the long cutting plates for and some Texturz plates which I need the Impressions kit for so I think I understand those. But I also bought a couple of Papermania embossing folder and stencil and I have no idea how to layer these up.
Can anyone give me or point me in the direction of an Idiot's Guide to using the Big Shot and the various dies?

Many thanks.

Congratulations Don't panic, the die will make an impression on the cutting plates, that's normal. The plates will bend too with time. If you look at the pictures on the platform thingie it tells you which one to use for which kind of dies. I can't remember what I used for embossing as I haven't embossed for so long, sorry You could try Google to help answer your questions x
