I spent ages yesterday applying foam to some of the new Cookie Cutter dies. I've managed to apply foam to the whole of the Lemonade alpha but, I have to be honest, it gave me the pip! A complete pain. The letters are so small and you have to squash so many on one sheet of 4x4 Revolution foam. Not the most enjoyable way to spend an afternoon! I guess when it's done, that's that... but it's still a nuisance. Magnolia is a bit of a nuisance too, although Spotlight isn't as bad to foam as it's bigger and chunkier. In addition, the foam didn't cut properly on all of the letters first time round (it left something akin to cling film which had to be cut manually).
The "sticky mat" proved to be a bit of a pain too - I had forgotten that I don't have the patience for anything sticky, hence I don't use my Cricut machine as often as I could. At least we're talking about sticking metal items to the "sticky mat" with the Cookie Cutter dies, though, as opposed to adhering paper to a sticky mat to enable use of the Cricut machine. Metal has to be easier to remove than paper!! Not surprisingly, the first use of the mat seemed to indicate adhesion akin to superglue, but the glue is much more manageable after the first use. Note to self: patience required!
