Help - how do I use Quickutz double cut dies?

[IOW Christine]

Hi all
I've just bought some Quickutz double cut dies to use in my wizard machine, (santa, rudolph, etc) - but can anyone tell me how I can use the dies economically? it would appear that there are about 3 different shapes on each of the two dies in each pack. So in the case of Santa - the hat, his beard and something else are on the one die. But obviously his hat and beard need to be different colours.... If I cut it all out of red - I'll get a red beard! So then I'll also end up with a white hat if I cut the beard first. All these extras will have to be thrown away. Is there something I'm not seeing here? There must be!

Help!

Hi Christine,

That's the way I used to do it!! It's either that or faff about cutting the bits from the correct colour card then putting them in place and hoping they stay there whilst you cut.. I'm far too cack-handed for that!!

That's the main reason why I gave up on some of thte fiddlier dies in the end, too much like blimming hard work!!

Thanks Cheryl...... what a faff!! Ah well...... I can see a lot of fiddling about to be done between now and Christmas.

Bye for now
