Dies
Ellison SureCut and ClearCrop Dies can be used in the Sizzix Big Shot Pro Machine
without the Adapter Pad, as they are thicker than Sizzix Bigz Dies. Place SureCut
and ClearCrop dies directly on the metal Sliding Tray, rubber side facing up. Place
material to be cut against the rubber side of the die, then place one Cutting Pad on
top of the material (Figure I). For Ellison SureCut Crease-Rule Dies, place Premium
Crease Pad, instead of the Cutting Pad, on top of material to be cut. Follow Steps
