As an OLD LADY who’s now experiencing arthritis issues, I highly recommend the precision glue press!! And I’m not getting any paybacks for recommending it!! I’m just trying to help out others who may be experiencing dexterity issues!
Thanks for sharing your experience using this glue press. I have Rheumatoid Arthritis and your feedback has helped me to make the decision to purchase soon as I’ve been on the fence due to cost.
2:02:53 I have the Gina K glue bottles, but decided to get a bigger bottle on Amazon so I wouldn’t need to fill it as often. Big mistake!! The bottles off of Amazon are so hard to squeeze. The Gina K is easy to squeeze.
Thank you Linh for all the great ideas for products I need for crafting. I never knew how much was out there and what was good and bad, so I’m extremely grateful. Your a gem
I have been slowly matching my color cube cards to my distress palette. I looked online and found nothing to help me? But, as I work through the cards matching the distress, they become more useful to me. I enjoyed this and learned a whole lot. TFS.
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel! I'm happy you found me. 💗It does make me feel better that other crafters also have multiples of the same craft supplies. LOL.
My ATG has been apart of my craft tools from the beginning of time. I just added the glue press and OMG!! It is a game changer LOVE IT! These 2 items are tag team made in heaven ❤❤❤❤❤
Just the video I needed! Thank you for all of this information! I'm trying to be more crafty and was looking for a video comparing all the tools 💙 you are awesome!
Thanks so much! 💖I'm glad this was useful. I hope the comments are useful too. Other folks have also left their thoughts on their experience as well. Enjoy your crafty journey!
I love mine too! I was looking for it online to add a link but I can't find it anymore.. Have they stopped selling it? Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️
Lots of information. Over the years I’ve found that personal preference (for one reason or another) and practice via consistent usage play a huge part in tool satisfaction. Important to find videos/reviews like this one - revisiting and assessing products weeks or even months after an initial unboxing. 👍
Thanks so much, Susan! I agree with you 100% . It's nice to know how easy something is to use out of the box but I find it equally or even more informative how well something holds up over time and use. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and comment! ❤️
I have the Tim Holtz Rotary trimmer. It was something I had to learn, like so many tools. You have to turn your hand in slightly to the inside, and the cut is perfect, no fuzzies. I saw the instructions on a video about the trimmer. They said it was in the instructions with the box, but I admit I didn't look at the instructions. 😊
This was such a great video Linh! I need to go refill my glue gun to see if that fixes my current frustrations with it. Definitely found some things I might need to be on the hunt for this week. 😂
😂 I was hoping to also save folks from some spending too. Lol. Let me know if refilling helps! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!! ❤️ I appreciate you!
Hi, new to your channel! Thanks for sharing this! I have multiples of many tools as well! I have all the individual tools that the We R All in One trimmer, but it would be great to have all those tools conveniently in one tool! I don’t like having to move my tools from the basement to upstairs when I want to switch craft spaces. I was looking at the Spellbinders trimmer 👀, but ordered the replacement blades on clearance, but not yet their trimmer. I was wondering if I wanted to jump on the Better Press Letter Press or not. You have helped me decide! Thank you! 😊
Thank you so much for finding me! I'm sure that trimmer will eventually go on sale. It's good you're patient for the deals. LOL. That's how I shop too! I'm dying to know... are you a yes or a no on the BetterPress? 🤣
@LVHandcrafted me too! 😊 The jury is STILL out on the Better Press! Lol 😂 I thought I wanted it for sure, but I keep talking myself out of it! 😮However, I do have some Better Press plates that I caught on sale! Hahaha So, IF I do get one, I’ll have something to use! 😉 If I see one for a $uper $ale then I’d buy it! Just as an update, I just bought a 2nd hand Heidi Swapp Cinch for $25 & I love it!!! I also love my Multi Cinch, especially the heart holes!!! ❤ So cute!! ☺️
I was interested in your trimmers, I too have multiple trimmers, the problem being Australian paper is A4 and you need a metric cutter or need to chop a piece of each sheet off. If I buy American paper I need to use imperial measurements. I did purchase a really expensive fishers rotary cutter when I first started out, only to find the measurements that I need are in the fold of the trimmer making accuracy impossible. The WRMK trimmer is ok, but the score is just a little off for metric measurements.
Great video thank you! Didn’t like the Tim Holtz rotary trimmer at first but now I love it. Against popular opinion I hate the glue press, have had nothing but issues (one bottle was unusable as glue had solidified, one bottle the pin glued itself in the topper, etc). Love the we r all in one tool, I’m not really a card maker so having all the tools separate would be too expensive for me. Currently I am trying to decide if I want the multi cinch, I want the square but I think it would be nice to have the option later for other hole types. I also totally want the colour cubes.
OMG you totally got a lemon of a glue press. :( I would not be a fan if that was my experience too. Were you able to return or exchange it? How did you get the TH trimmer to work better for you? I still use mine but not on anything I want to look nice. Lol 😂 I love the multi cinch and it's nice to try different binding styles. If you think you might like all the punches HSN sells a bundle with all 7 punches. I don't think any other retailer online has that (at least not that I've seen) and the individual punches can be expensive if you buy one at a time. Just something to consider. Thank you for watching and commenting.
@@LVHandcrafted unfortunately I had waited too long to use the glue press once I got it so it was past the return window. Lesson learned, open and use immediately! For the trimmer I watched the Tim Holtz video focusing on the tips how to use it and a few other videos also :). I am Canadian so HSN will not deliver to me otherwise I would do the package you suggested. Although thinking about it now I may have my aunt order it for me, she is in the US and will be back in Canada in April
Thank you so much!! I shop around for the replacement blades. Amazon (amzn.to/3ALA1YL) pretty much always has them but not always the best price. SBC has them too (shrsl.com/4ri2v) -- usually at a better price but not always in stock. Hope that helps!
I think the nibs on the Ohuhu markers are double ended, so they can be pulled out and turned round. Sharp and pointy again! I’d recommend wearing gloves…😁
On the trimmers, i have had lots & I only use 2 coz they are the only reliable long term precision trimmers that i get a good cut 100% of the time - Cutterpillar Pro (12*12 rotary with backlight) & Tonic Tim Holtz 6x8.5” guillotine trimmer. I use both depending on cutting large things, vs trimming smaller/fine cuts. I am not sure if you can still buy the Cutterpillar Pro, but they have a similar one Cutterpillar Crop… worth looking at if you can still find them… my experience is cheap ends up with bad cuts & lots of Cardstock wasted… And the Empress MIni is the best by far for any die that fits it (love love love it)
Yes, I agree! Sometimes it is definitely worth the extra $$ to get someone good and reliable!! I love my mini empress. I think it was my best purchase of 2023
Hi! I think having the white glass mat is helpful to start because the glare isn't as obvious as compared to black. I also have two lights from the sides to help even out the lighting and reduce shadows. I don't use a top down light at all, which I think is where a lot of glare can come from. I hope that makes sense and is helpful. Thank you for watching and commenting! ❤️
great video. I have all the Altenew etoh markers. My best purchases of 2024: The Glue Press- LOVE it and the Altenew Stamp Wheel. Here's to a crafty fun 2025 . tfs
Ohhh... What do you think of the Stampwheel 2.0... I'm thinking of it or maybe the first version if I find a BF deal. What do you like best about it compared to a regular stamp platform?
That was a lot of good info! Thank you for sharing your thoughts as well as motivations in buying the products. While I don't have nearly the amount you do (I mean who has that many trimmers...jk) this will be a good reference video for when I do want to get something...like that die cut machine with the dials...❤
Lol 😂😂 sorry it was so long! I just turned on the camera and started talking. Then when I saw it was 2 hours, I tried again but talked faster and it was even longer! Lol 🤣
It's hard to pick! Lol. I definitely like hot foiling more tho but now that I have the minc and can more reliable transfer foil I'm liking that a lot too. Lol such a rabbit hole! Thanks for watching and commenting, friend! ❤️
For the prismacolor, only use an electric sharpener. I’ve been using them for 40 years. The older ones were better but using a hand sharpener will actually break the lead down the shaft. Since I started using an electric sharpener 10 years ago the breaking issue has disappeared. Unless I bounce a pencil off of a tile or concrete floor.
@@ChaosOrZen sadly, I only use an electric sharpener and still lots of breakage. But I only got mine maybe 3 or 4 yrs ago. I definitely have heard that it was less of an issue in the past
Oh don't worry. A lot of people have commented that they like their TH rotary cutter and one person said she was having the same issues I was but reached out to their customer support and after some troubleshooting the company ended up sending her a new one and it works great. So I think there might be a consistency in quality issue and I probably got a lemon. Sadly, way too late for me to reach out to customer support.
I have a go press n foil machine. I think it came out a couple years before the glimmer machine. The plates were quite expensive back then but they are much more reasonable now. I also have the full size minc and love it.
@@LVHandcrafted experimenting, I start with 3 or 4 for normal weight paper. If I use heavy weight paper I go up one. Once I find the sweet spot I make a note of it on the paper pack
Thanks so much for watching! ❤️ The links are in the description box. I have links to the physicals and Digi together and links to separate product bundles.

The TH cutter is a no go because you have to squeeze it to get it to cut. Too much work for aging crafters. The motto keep it simple is a must for me. On the mushroom punch cinch - there are dies that cut that shape now.
I know, right??? I've tried everything... I watch the TH video and other suggested videos JM, SH, etc. and followed all their recommendations for tilting the blade inward, etc. etc. I really did want to love it. But it's only 20% an acceptable cut (nice and clean all the way through) and 80% of the time has some imperfections that I have to sand out. It really should just work w/o any thought or special consideration. OK... I think I'm preaching to the choir, here...LOL I'm happy for the people who can get it to work, but in my hands it's a no go too.
@@LVHandcrafted I had a big reply to all of the items that were 'blah" but RUclips & my phone ate it. lol. That WRM create a stamp is a big No go for me. It requires too much craft room space and too much work for a teeny tiny stamp. On the Precision Glue press, I am grateful for this device since I can't use glue bottles without a lot of effort. This press is nice BUT has an issue with caps breaking and nozzles coming out which Tonic is well aware of. The holder is too fiddly to get it to seal the nozzle so that you don't need to put the cap on. I just wished it was another company that has a much better customer service manners that invented this. I went direct to Tonic for my issue instead of the creator. I love Glassboard Studios products and their social media person. My Barely Art Glue is all of sudden not working well - it isn't staying glued - don't know if it is my humidity level being high or if my BA glue is too old. I don't think you can use a PVA glue in the Precision Glue Press. For the nuvo glue I found I need to use the larger nozzle for it to come out. Have you tried stickles with yours - Range showed it can be used with a round bottle.
Thanks so much for sharing! Sorry you had to type everything over again. And that sucks that customer service on the press hasn't been helpful. I don't what's going on with your bearly art glue. I know lala bought a bottle that seemed very watery so it seems maybe there are some consistency issues? So far I haven't had issues but I do get the big refill bottles and it seems ok. It's about 3 months old and only half used. Still seems to stick ok
@@kiminalaska9363 I'm still waiting too!! They advertised Nov 15 and it never went live. It has said sold out forever now but I don't think it actually ever was available. :(
Really enjoyed your commentary! You're one of the few people that talked about the Bria Die Cutter. That was my first and now I have all three sizes. I want to get a Platinum machine but I'll always keep one of the Bria's - you can't beat the adjustable pressure rollers! I use mine for BetterPress and Glimmer as well and like your it does a fantastic job. The only reason I want a Platinum is I think they are more durable and my Bria does go through lots of plates - but again prob my fault for cranking up the pressure! I use regular plastic plates with mine now too - I went through the softer ones too quick. Got a magic mat and that helps but does not work as well on intricate dies. Hope to try out the Posca Pencils sometime too!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad this super long video was OK. I think the Bira Craft machine is really great. I love the adjustable rollers too. It's so much better than using cardstock shims. LOL. Have you tried the CraftFirst cutting plates? They seem to last pretty long in my other die cutting machines like the gemini, which has a lot of pressure also.
Informative & appreciated the info.....however too wordy kept; saying please get to the point, believe with time & more practice the vids will get better. Perhaps watch others with more viewers. I will continue to watch however may fast forward at times.

The WRMK trimmer is ok, but the score is just a little off for metric measurements.

On the mushroom punch cinch - there are dies that cut that shape now.
I know, right??? I've tried everything... I watch the TH video and other suggested videos JM, SH, etc. and followed all their recommendations for tilting the blade inward, etc. etc. I really did want to love it. But it's only 20% an acceptable cut (nice and clean all the way through) and 80% of the time has some imperfections that I have to sand out. It really should just work w/o any thought or special consideration. OK... I think I'm preaching to the choir, here...LOL I'm happy for the people who can get it to work, but in my hands it's a no go too.
@@LVHandcrafted I’d return that sucker Linh
I'm way past the return window. Lol
@@LVHandcrafted I had a big reply to all of the items that were 'blah" but RUclips & my phone ate it. lol. That WRM create a stamp is a big No go for me. It requires too much craft room space and too much work for a teeny tiny stamp. On the Precision Glue press, I am grateful for this device since I can't use glue bottles without a lot of effort. This press is nice BUT has an issue with caps breaking and nozzles coming out which Tonic is well aware of. The holder is too fiddly to get it to seal the nozzle so that you don't need to put the cap on. I just wished it was another company that has a much better customer service manners that invented this. I went direct to Tonic for my issue instead of the creator. I love Glassboard Studios products and their social media person. My Barely Art Glue is all of sudden not working well - it isn't staying glued - don't know if it is my humidity level being high or if my BA glue is too old. I don't think you can use a PVA glue in the Precision Glue Press. For the nuvo glue I found I need to use the larger nozzle for it to come out. Have you tried stickles with yours - Range showed it can be used with a round bottle.
Thanks so much for sharing! Sorry you had to type everything over again. And that sucks that customer service on the press hasn't been helpful.
I don't what's going on with your bearly art glue. I know lala bought a bottle that seemed very watery so it seems maybe there are some consistency issues? So far I haven't had issues but I do get the big refill bottles and it seems ok. It's about 3 months old and only half used. Still seems to stick ok
Wait you don't have the mamma minc?
No, just the mini... I was thinking about getting the WRMK one but...
@@LVHandcrafted I know how that ended. Mea culpa!
I love my glue press
It's pretty great! I love mine too!
You need an intervention…I thought I was in trouble…but you may win.😊
😂😂😂 just don't say that to my husband. 🤪
Reds stain everything! Watch one of Jennifer McGuire's live videos - creativity is messy!
Thanks for watching! ❤️
I also have way too many trimmers
No such thing, my friend. You can never have enough! I'm eyeing the cinch stack cutter
@ the stack cutter finally came out? I have been waiting for that
@ I see that it is sold out. I am on the notify me list.
@@kiminalaska9363 I'm still waiting too!! They advertised Nov 15 and it never went live. It has said sold out forever now but I don't think it actually ever was available. :(
@@kiminalaska9363 I can't remember if I signed up for that. I better do it. Lol I've just been going to the page and refreshing every couple days. 🤪
Use tin foil to sharpen the blade
Thanks! That does help!
Not comfortable taking the plastic guard off my guillotine!
Girl, you need a trimmer that has a double-wide guard! LOL 🤣
@@LVHandcrafted maaaaybe
Really enjoyed your commentary! You're one of the few people that talked about the Bria Die Cutter. That was my first and now I have all three sizes. I want to get a Platinum machine but I'll always keep one of the Bria's - you can't beat the adjustable pressure rollers! I use mine for BetterPress and Glimmer as well and like your it does a fantastic job. The only reason I want a Platinum is I think they are more durable and my Bria does go through lots of plates - but again prob my fault for cranking up the pressure! I use regular plastic plates with mine now too - I went through the softer ones too quick. Got a magic mat and that helps but does not work as well on intricate dies. Hope to try out the Posca Pencils sometime too!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad this super long video was OK. I think the Bira Craft machine is really great. I love the adjustable rollers too. It's so much better than using cardstock shims. LOL. Have you tried the CraftFirst cutting plates? They seem to last pretty long in my other die cutting machines like the gemini, which has a lot of pressure also.
You might need help w/ the CINCH!
LOL...
Informative & appreciated the info.....however too wordy kept; saying please get to the point, believe with time & more practice the vids will get better. Perhaps watch others with more viewers.
I will continue to watch however may fast forward at times.
Thanks so much for the feedback!
I hate rotary trimmers
Lol. 🤣 I've seen people use them and like them. It's why I wanted to give it a shot. But yeah, I'm not a fan either. Lol
