I want to know how to cut Chipboard? I have the Creative Memories cutters system that I used to use alot when I did scrapbooking. Now I use Spellbinder Nestabilities for card making & other dies as well like PTI & MFT.

I have only used the EK Success Cutter Bee Curvy Cutter. It's easy to use. The trick is to use a glass mat and some sort of removable adhesive to hold your paper in place.
Here is a video: EK Success - Cutter Bee - Curvy Cutter Circle Template Kit

For thin chipboard, I've used the old style Sizzix. I haven't tried using my Big Shot, but I'm guessing it would work, too. I'd be curious to hear from others who've successfully used chipboard and dies in their Big Shot.

Creative memories for circles every time, by the time I've got the bigshot & nesties out I'd have already cut it.

Chipboard will cut in a bigshot with the chunkier sissix dies and the thinner stuff will work with nesties.

I use the Kreaxions Circle Cutter and LOVE it. It can cut any size circle you want and it's so easy to use. You can get it here - just tell them Stephanie sent you.
