I just bought the die plus the long extender plates just so I could start making rosettes - only to find I am having the same problem.<br />Grrr...!! I don't want to be wasting my time or paper. I also don't think you should have to take extra steps like taping etc. they should have tweaked the final product so people could have used these with ease. Creating is suppose to be an enjoyable process! If you find a solution anyone. Please let me know! I can't take any of these items back to the store because I got them with a small discount and there are no returns on these items...otherwise I would have probably just taken them back!Cathie A.K.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11291962390342893642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864360729241523686.post-49241190403003494132011-01-17T19:42:16.875-05:002011-01-17T19:42:16.875-05:00Like the rose you created.

I was really shocked that a Sizzix die worked better in the Bug but I could not get the same result in the Big Shot. I have seen where someone has put tissue tape along the bottom edge which held it together without making it hard to fold and was a pretty addition.<br />Your hanging here is lovely too.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884176699366404825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3864360729241523686.post-44388808464782492622011-01-11T06:45:14.030-05:002011-01-11T06:45:14.030-05:00Mine d it too.

Don't get your tape over the edges though or hard to glue the ends together.
