Hi Connie, I have a great very simple tip to protect your top cutting plate from getting all cut up. I put a sheet of copy paper over my die under my top plate. Sometimes I put a double sheet. This means my top plate lasts for months and months without having to be replaced. It also protects cardstock from marks, very handy for foil. I have been doing this for years. Verna from Australia 🇦🇺
One of the best tips I ever learned was to add double sided tape to the back of my cardstock before diecutting. Makes life much simpler for intricate diecuts and Sentiments.
Great tips, thank you. I recently started this hobby and wanted to emboss with one of my dies. Nothing I improvised worked until I thought of using my thin rubber-ish mouse pad. Voila! it worked.
Wonderful hints! I never thought about the Press ‘n Seal trick. The box is moving to the craft room! My 13 y/o granddaughter loves to come over and die cut and I will share these tips with her. (She will think I am smart!! 😉)
I come from Canada and I’ve used press and seal for years. Thank you for all these tips. This has been the best video I’ve watch on tips on die cuts. 🇨🇦
Thank you so much Connie, I really really enjoyed watching you show us all those great tips and tricks for die cutting and embossing too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Absolutely fantastic hacks. Wow. You are a pro! Just love how you extended the length of the tag (so useful as most are way too short) and then turned it into a decorative plate. LOVE it!
I’m just getting back to making cards. I have SU stamps from way back but I’m interested in the die cuts & embossing. Your tips were great. Thx so much!!
Loved the tip on how to emboss from a die. I always had to drag out my “other” die cut machine to get nice embossing from dies. Now I can sell it! Thank you!!!
My husband is enamored with Press N Seal, he'll help clean up & put away after dinner now! 😄 These tips are great, I printed 2 copies, one for home, one for travel / crops-- thank you!
As always, I really enjoyed your tips and tricks on die cutting. It’s time to dust off my box of Press and Seal that’s been hanging around my craft room just waiting to be put to use! Love all your tips. I’ve been crafting for many years (thoroughly enjoyed my 10+ years as a Stampin’ Up Demonstrator) but I’ve forgotten the many uses and techniques for , in this example, die cutting. Thank you for reminding me of some and teaching me some new techniques. I also appreciate the downloads you offer. I print them up, put them in binders and glance through them before I craft. TFS! 🌹 Ali K.
OMG- my favorite tip of all time - press n seal!!! Even using the lowest tack tape I can find, some of my favorite papers tear when I remove the tape…this is surely the answer to my problem - can’t wait ti give it a try.
Thank you for sharing I really love your tips I will definitely use the one I could make my card longer or shorter that’s nice have a blessed day can’t wait to see what you have next for me
Found you on RUclips quite by accident, but am loving your video! You give great tips and what I love most is that you are staying on topic! I hate videos that the presenter gets off topic so much that no matter how good their advice is I feel like it's a waste of my time watching all the extraneous garbage. So thank you not only for all the great tips, but for also realizing our time is valuable as well. Keep up the great work! Love your video!!!!
I have been crafting for years and have watched many, many videos with tips and tricks. Your videos most always teach me something new! Thank you!
