Mary, my friend, get an essential glue pad, ink your stamp with it, give it 30-60 seconds to get tacky, then put your foil on top and run it through your die cutter between two cutting plates works like a charm
Merry Christmas, Mary. Your snowflake cards are wonderful. I appreciate your shaker card tips. I will be making 3 for my youngest grandgirls. I'm also very thankful you use the ink on your surface after blending. I can't believe how many RUclipsrs waste that. The resultant backgrounds are a gift, each one different. 💖🇨🇦💖🥰Oops. Wrong comment. It's fine. You know what I'm talking about.
WOW...These are some of the BEST hacks I’ve heard yet. 💕 My favs are: 1. Covering a clipboard with a craft mat. 2. Scan and Cut your images BEFORE coloring them. BUT, I would put a little removable tape on the back of my cut image and then place it on a scrap paper that is bigger than the image. That way I can turn the image easily while coloring. (Feel free to share this idea) 3. Aligning shaker cards in the corner of the Misti. 4. Fill an empty Copic marker with Gamsol.
WOW what a great compliment; thank you so much! I really appreciate that. YAY! So happy they are helpful and YES that's a great tip about the tab to move it around.
Ooo...#2 is a REALLY GREAT idea!! I'm going to put an example of that in WITH my coloring "stuff" so I remember to do that! (I forget all these cool ideas UNTIL I've practiced their use several times.)
I didn't realize this video was 4 years old. Thanks for leaving it posted. I learned a lot. I've started a book to write these "hacks" in so I can refer to them later to remind myself.
My pleasure; I also did that for you if you want to grab my excel sheet where I have been keeping all my hacks listed as well as alternative craft supplies. subscribepage.io/iJQDOU
Years ago when my grandmother passed, she owned about 500 cassette tapes! And everyone of those tape were in holders that hung on the wall. I got those holders ( my family thought I had lost it) but I knew they would hold my ink pads....what awesomeness. You and I think a lot alike; I also use a nail polish holder for my ink blenders and I use an oven liner mat for my craft mat. I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one that sees crafty in everything! Thanks for this video; I got some new ideas for other stuff I had laying around. That magnet sheet is the best though.....die storage is my nemesis.
I always like to read other crafters comments cos one can learn from them too and sharing is caring as told to me via my 4 year old grand-munchkins. Thank you Kimberly Siddons for your ideas for storage too.
I've been enjoying your hacks. For a craft mat, one idea is a sheet protector. A piece of chipboard between two white sheets of paper. Thanks for taking the time to share.
I’ve been making shaker bags for yrs. I use my seal~a~meal bags (clear) & machine. I also use colored hair gel (blue) to simulate water. Think fish bowl. I cut from larger card stock so I have 3 panels. 1 panel folds under as to hide the bag. So it opens like a reg card but panel #1 folds over. I use either fun foam reg, fun foam thick or foam tape to tape the panel down & give it room to shake. Amy Jones Apex, NC
Boy has crafting changed in the past 15 - 20 years!!! Ink pads were just ink pads and die cutting was something Martha Stewart was doing! I was into sewing, painting, and needle work. Some of this new stuff confuses me, and some of it is just so cool!! I am hoping to get my craft / sewing room in order soon and get back to crafting in 2022 or 2023. Blessings to you & keep crafting
I'm so glad that you made this video..it is great. Also 1 tip hack would be PVC pipe for a faux wine rack...glued toghether. I just subscribed to your channel.
Such great tips, Mary. Yes, I did know some of them, but many I had either forgotten or didn’t really know. We moved 3 states this year and it is taking me 4Ever to get my craft space set up. This was invaluable for me. THANKS! ❣️🤗🥰
Just love all your tips and money savers. I am surely thankful for any money saving tip. Absolutely love the foil tips! I love the butterfly. Thank you so much for sharing all your great tips.
Hi MaryThe easiest way to foil stamped images is with a glue like Tack it Over and Over. Sponge the glue onto the stamp, stamp it, allow to dry for a minute or two and foil. It will work even with the cheap foils (for nails etc) or any you find in craft shops. The glues are water based and will wash off, just have a bowl of water on the table. If you have a cutting machine that takes pens, a Sakura ball point glue pen works a treat and will give fine detail.If you happen to have leftover photo card, that makes nice backgrounds too. Pixabay is a great resource for images. Your scan n cut is great for making use of your scraps because you scan in your scrap and choose your cut out to fit it.
Love your tips and tricks for crafting, especially this video to help me save on my paper crafting supplies. Your presentation at the organization summit was #1 for me! Thank you for your wonderful videos. I am now a subscriber.
This is truly one of the best videos that I have watched, and I have watched 100"s. I've book marked ALL of your videos and will definitely Subscribe to your channel. Thank you so very much for the time and effort that you have put in to making all of these. All the best in 2021.
Mary, you are my hero. Love the hacks. One to share with you. I use a "used" circut mat , cut to fit my misti, for adhering cardstock without magnets. Have done this for sometime now. Works well. Thanks.
Thanks for the great tips! One note - instead of using the low tack tape, you can actually buy Sizzix Sticky Grid Sheets for use in a stamp positioner. They have low tack adhesive on both sides, have a grid and are the perfect size for a standard Misti, but can easily be cut to size. Pack of 5 sells for about $5 but they last a very long time.
Omg I've been point blank refusing to pay the extortionate price they charge for ink storage so the cassette holder idea is a bloody game changer! Some brilliant hacks here - love it! Thank you for another great video! Xxx
Yes, I wanted to do the same but couldn't get my hands on them- even tried Goodwill and thrift shops. I ended up succumbing to buying one of the expensive ones. Good luck on your search!
Thank you for doing this hack video! Got some great ideas. Thank you for respecting my time and keeping content right on point! I will be watching more of your videos!
I’m doing more fine art now but also mixed media, but I still love just fun crafting and projects too. Great hacks& ideas! So funny I was going through some old crafting tools in a drawer and found one of those bag sealers. Now aIll use it!
Fantastic ideas. You really come up with some great substitutes, gotta do your clip board and empty marker pen! Looks like I need to hit the flea markets and rethink what I see there!! I am thinking a mechanics rack they hang with the little drawers for nuts and bolts for sequins and charms and stuff! Should have gotten this from my husband when he retired and auctioned off everything in the shop! His was clean too so that would have been great!
That's a great idea! That is the hope with a video like this; start seeing things differently so that we can save money. I get why so many items are priced the way they are for the crafting community and i try to support whenever i can.
Yet another fabulous video. I am rather proud of the way I've sorted my dies. They’re stored in cut down wine boxes (aren’t I classy!) that I then covered with book covering (contact). I was really surprised to discover though that the release paper left over makes a great surface for blending. So now i have a few large sheets of that, and some small ones from other covering projects, and i use them when i’m ink blending. They won’t have the longevity of the suggestion you have, but until i can get to a shop that stocks those heat mats (I live in a very small town) I think it will work well. Thanks Again for all the wonderful ideas.
Wait...so the boxes of wine you used for dies was from boxed wine or a box that had wine bottles in it? I need to know the level of classy we are discussing. I'm a boxed wine fan...throw it in the fridge and pull out the spout....that's my kind of classy! hahaha love it. Great idea for storage too; thanks so much for sharing!
@@marypolancodesigns bwahahah! I mean the boxed wine or, as my mother calls it, Chateau Cardboard! Just cut down the sides on an angle so the front is maybe one third to half the height of the back. I store my dies in envelopes because that way they're all the same size (and most of them are sent to me by my best friend in the Netherlands. She gets them from their equivalent of a dollar store and removes the packaging before posting them to me in Australia). It all works quite well.
Mary, thank you for every single hack. Love all of them. Specifically, the no laminator hack. I don't own one and I find myself wanting to foil my cards.
I loved the embossing powder drawer idea! Right away I went looking for them in the Dollar Tree and found them. I felt greedy scarfing up six of them and have since copied your idea and love it. Thanks!.
Thanks for putting together these tip videos. I'm binge watching them in preparation for moving to a place where I'll have lots more space to craft. So useful! 🙏🏻
Just found your channel yesterday. I rarely subscribe until I have watched most of your videos to make sure it’s a good fit for me! Thank you for being informative with out too much talking and silliness. Just the right mix with a touch of humor and humility. Subscribed!
I like the idea of taping down the images to color them. I bought a small turntable from Amazon and tape them to that. This way I can turn the image as needed. I love these videos so much! Off to Dollar Tree I go!
WOW!!! I just discovered you, and you are just A-MAZING!!! I subscribed so I don't miss anything. I started taking notes, and I can't wait to go to Dollar Tree!!! Thank you so much.
I love this idea thank you, we just happened to have a wine rack just taking up space so it's now sat on the top of the bookshelf keeping all the wrapping paper I save from year to year out of the way.
@@marypolancodesigns I'm also getting some stick on magnets for my dies which is the best idea and saves me rooting through endless packets to find the one that I need, and tell your Husband the desk is amazing!
Oh my! So many hacks that I need😃 my mind is working overtime trying to figure out how and where I’m going to place magnet boards! My desk has open space (IKEA) and brick wall and windows, so I can’t utilize wall space. Thanks for the Hacks💕
Cynthia , how about buying several jumbo metal key holders and using a hole puncher on several magnetic sheets that are 5X7 or what ever size will work for you. And hanging them on your peg board? It’s just an idea.
I'm just a little over half way through and had to stop to tell you you're a genius!!!!! Thank you so much, I'm going to use many of these tips!!! And thank you for linking to even the stamps you used for your tips! I just purchased that gorgeous HA winter scene :)
I loved all of these! I can't imagine how much time and effort this video took. Thank you. Truly for taking the time to do all the hard work for us. ❤️
Oh thank you so much and i really appreciate that you said this. It was well worth it to show all in one place and I'm happy it was helpful. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. :)
Sooooo many very wonderful tips. I did want to point out you can make alcohol markers with any ink refills. Really great when you are working on a project and your marker is dry.
You have shown hacks I have not seen before 🤯🤯🤯. Awesome video! 😍. I am going to be trying several of these hacks, thanks so much for taking the time to compile them all for us. 🤗🙏
My goodness. This was by far one of the best craft hack videos I have ever watched. I absolutely love every idea. You hit a home run with this one Mary. Great job and thank you for it and also sharing the links. If I had to pick my top three they would be: the sealer cutter for making shaker bags (also a great way to use cellophane packaging), the clipboard with baking paper, the sticky paper or tape on the Misti. (But they were all pretty fabulous). Oh I have to add a 4th: using scraps to add dimension which you could also do with any die cut as well as fussy cutting. And I agree: the Dollar store is such a fun place for thinking outside the box when it comes to inexpensive ideas for storage. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😄👍🏼👍🏼. 10 thumbs up!
Wow, Annie, what an awesome, encouraging comment. I so appreciate you taking the time for me to let me know this was so helpful. YAY! I'm so happy! Thank you
Great hacks, especially the giant magnet for holding dies. I have a bunch I use over and over, too, so if I can just find that empty little space, I'm going to do the same. I was thinking the side of a file cabinet (not metal) might do. Thanks for the ideas. :-)
Hi Mary. I found your videos a few wks ago and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been scrapbooking for many yrs so mostly make 12x12 layouts but your techniques carry over so well. This video of hacks is just awesome. One think I really appreciate is you taking time to create links to all the things you use in your videos. Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us!
You are so welcome! It's my pleasure. I started following a few scrapbookers for ideas too because they do cross eachother. If you have any good recommendations let me know.
Great ideas, Mary! I love this video! I will be watching again! I use the acrylic nail polish holders too. I also had an old Keurig spinning k-cup holder that I use for embossing powders. I am redoing my craft room, but in my old one, I had the magnetic sheets for vent covers (from Home Depot) for my dies. I put them on the back of my door and on the front of my cabinets. I attached them with the 3M removable strips. Since I started out with Stampin’ Up! stamps, I have them all stored in a DVD cabinet. I could go on, but will stop! 😆 Thanks for the great tips! Hugs!
Love these ideas! YEs i had that for my embossing powders as well but I ran out of table space. I do have a Keurig K cup drawer though that is meant for underneath the Keurig machine. I use it for all my washi tape! woooohoooo! lol
Once again, I’m late to the party but LOVED your video! Some of the things you showed, I’ve already done on my own…but thanks to you, my Amazon cart is quickly getting full! Lol Thank you for the great content! 😊
The distressed foiling look is wonderful! Perfectly precise foiling is a little too commercial for my style, so thank you for showing a technique that will keep a sketchy or distressed look with a pop! The entire video was great fun and informational to boot!
Actually, your video made me consider using foil for the very first time - other than rubbing it on almost dry alcohol ink (on Yupo, for example) to get random little bits of shine. And I have quite a bit of foil for someone who doesn’t foil. Mostly I didn’t purchase it; it somehow landed here. So again, thank you.
I've been binge watching organization videos for my new craft room in our new house! The ink pad storage tip is awesome! Still available and in my cart!! TYFS
Just subscribed Mary. I love the way that you 'think outside the box'. I will have to try and find some of the items that you mentioned here in Australia. TFS
Love your tips ... thank you! Had a thought for the clipboard you wrapped with your craft mat - what if you stuck some of that rubber shelf liner on the back of it - it should keep it from sliding around.
Mary, my friend, get an essential glue pad, ink your stamp with it, give it 30-60 seconds to get tacky, then put your foil on top and run it through your die cutter between two cutting plates works like a charm
Can't wait to try this! YAY

YAY! I knew i could rely on you for more great tips to share. You're the BEST! I have to try the tacky glue one for sure.
I have sakura glue pen, with that do you have to wait also before putting the foil?
Awesome idea I will have to purchase the tack it over and over I use clearance gems for nails often on cards
@@ArtsyMed Only a few minutes, you want it to dry till clear.

Oh my! So many hacks that I need😃 my mind is working overtime trying to figure out how and where I’m going to place magnet boards! My desk has open space (IKEA) and brick wall and windows, so I can’t utilize wall space. Thanks for the Hacks💕
YAY I love that! Yes it's so great to have them out
Cynthia , how about buying several jumbo metal key holders and using a hole puncher on several magnetic sheets that are 5X7 or what ever size will work for you. And hanging them on your peg board? It’s just an idea.
Fabulous!!! Thank you!!!
You are so welcome!
Muy útil. Gracias por compartirlo. 💖

Mary you are amazing.. how can I lose my mojo with watching your informative videos?..
Oh you are so kind, thank you so much for lifting my spirits today!
Thank you SO much for asking people to honor copyrights.
My pleasure; that's super important!
I'm just a little over half way through and had to stop to tell you you're a genius!!!!! Thank you so much, I'm going to use many of these tips!!! And thank you for linking to even the stamps you used for your tips! I just purchased that gorgeous HA winter scene :)
YAY I'm so happy this was helpful; thank you for taking the time to let me know! :)
Awesome tips!
I use the wine rack with a tall vases from dollar tree to store my markers horizontally.
Great idea! I LOOOOVE THAT!
Some great ideas! Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Always!
I loved all of these! I can't imagine how much time and effort this video took. Thank you. Truly for taking the time to do all the hard work for us. ❤️
Oh thank you so much and i really appreciate that you said this. It was well worth it to show all in one place and I'm happy it was helpful. Thank you for taking the time to let me know. :)
You really are brilliant. Thanks for all the fantastic ideas. I took lots of notes!!!
You are so welcome!
Sooooo many very wonderful tips. I did want to point out you can make alcohol markers with any ink refills. Really great when you are working on a project and your marker is dry.
Oh that's a great tip; thanks so much for sharing!
You have shown hacks I have not seen before 🤯🤯🤯. Awesome video! 😍. I am going to be trying several of these hacks, thanks so much for taking the time to compile them all for us. 🤗🙏
Yay! Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that Marcy!
My goodness. This was by far one of the best craft hack videos I have ever watched. I absolutely love every idea. You hit a home run with this one Mary. Great job and thank you for it and also sharing the links. If I had to pick my top three they would be: the sealer cutter for making shaker bags (also a great way to use cellophane packaging), the clipboard with baking paper, the sticky paper or tape on the Misti. (But they were all pretty fabulous). Oh I have to add a 4th: using scraps to add dimension which you could also do with any die cut as well as fussy cutting. And I agree: the Dollar store is such a fun place for thinking outside the box when it comes to inexpensive ideas for storage. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😄👍🏼👍🏼. 10 thumbs up!
Wow, Annie, what an awesome, encouraging comment. I so appreciate you taking the time for me to let me know this was so helpful. YAY! I'm so happy! Thank you
Lots of great ideas here-- like you, I'm always looking for ways to use regular "stuff" for crafting! Terrific video--thanks so much!
Thank you so much Essie! I really appreciate that!
omg the snowflakes with foil is so amazing!
Oh thank you so much! I loved making those cards; so so fun
Such great Tips. Thank you very much for charing. Some of the hacks I try tomorrow. So cool. 😊😍
You are so welcome!
Great hacks, especially the giant magnet for holding dies. I have a bunch I use over and over, too, so if I can just find that empty little space, I'm going to do the same. I was thinking the side of a file cabinet (not metal) might do. Thanks for the ideas. :-)
Thanks so much, my pleasure! This was fun to put together!
Heath James if you have a metal filing cabinet you won’t need a magnet sheet as the dies will probably stick straight on it!
Great practical and economical hacks! You are the best!!
Oh wow, thank you so so much! I'm so happy this was useful!
Hi Mary. I found your videos a few wks ago and I’m so glad I did! I’ve been scrapbooking for many yrs so mostly make 12x12 layouts but your techniques carry over so well. This video of hacks is just awesome. One think I really appreciate is you taking time to create links to all the things you use in your videos. Thanks for sharing your creativity with all of us!
You are so welcome! It's my pleasure. I started following a few scrapbookers for ideas too because they do cross eachother. If you have any good recommendations let me know.
Thanks for all the good ideas. Love hack videos.
Glad you like them! YAY! I was hoping it was useful
Always appreciate hacks, and these are good ones. Saved for future use.
Thank you so so much!
Wine racks would be perfect for posters as well! 👍🏼
YES! Great idea
Fantastic hacks. I am going to benefit from many of your suggestions. Thank you so much for this video 💚
Woohooo! I love to hear this! YAY!
Great ideas, Mary! I love this video! I will be watching again! I use the acrylic nail polish holders too. I also had an old Keurig spinning k-cup holder that I use for embossing powders. I am redoing my craft room, but in my old one, I had the magnetic sheets for vent covers (from Home Depot) for my dies. I put them on the back of my door and on the front of my cabinets. I attached them with the 3M removable strips. Since I started out with Stampin’ Up! stamps, I have them all stored in a DVD cabinet. I could go on, but will stop! 😆 Thanks for the great tips! Hugs!
Love these ideas! YEs i had that for my embossing powders as well but I ran out of table space. I do have a Keurig K cup drawer though that is meant for underneath the Keurig machine. I use it for all my washi tape! woooohoooo! lol
Another great video! I love the way you think lady!
Thank you so much! YAY
Thank you for all the fabulous tips ,they was all new to me
That's so great to hear! Thank you so much for this
Thank you for all the great tips Mary.
You are so welcome! My pleasure!
This is soooo cool!! What a great technique with the foil!!
YAY! So glad you liked that one. That was so so fun to do
Once again, I’m late to the party but LOVED your video! Some of the things you showed, I’ve already done on my own…but thanks to you, my Amazon cart is quickly getting full! Lol Thank you for the great content! 😊
Yay, thank you!
The distressed foiling look is wonderful! Perfectly precise foiling is a little too commercial for my style, so thank you for showing a technique that will keep a sketchy or distressed look with a pop! The entire video was great fun and informational to boot!
Thank you so much! That's so awesome to know it was helfpul! YAY
Actually, your video made me consider using foil for the very first time - other than rubbing it on almost dry alcohol ink (on Yupo, for example) to get random little bits of shine. And I have quite a bit of foil for someone who doesn’t foil. Mostly I didn’t purchase it; it somehow landed here. So again, thank you.
You are brilliant!!! Saving this video because your tips are great and I don't want to forget them! Thank you
You are so welcome! WOW what a compliment; thank you so much! I really appreciate it
@@marypolancodesigns your welcome 💗
Love all your tips
Thanks so much! That's awesome to hear!
Thanks for all the great tips!
You are so welcome! My pleasure
I've been binge watching organization videos for my new craft room in our new house! The ink pad storage tip is awesome! Still available and in my cart!! TYFS
That is awesome! I think you'll love it
Thanks 🙏 lots of good suggestions!
Thanks so much! YAY
Just subscribed Mary. I love the way that you 'think outside the box'. I will have to try and find some of the items that you mentioned here in Australia. TFS
YAY! SO glad you're joining me. Thanks so much for the sweet comment
Wonderful tips loved this 😊
Thanks so much! I'm so happy it was helpful!
I actually just bought that butterfly stamp in an auction of stampin up lot on ebay ty for the wonderful idea for another way to use them.
Oh wow, how funny! It's so gorgeous; i've kept it all these years
Love your tips ... thank you! Had a thought for the clipboard you wrapped with your craft mat - what if you stuck some of that rubber shelf liner
on the back of it - it should keep it from sliding around.
Great idea! That would most definitely work!
I love these ideas!
Thanks so much for letting me know, Debi!! :)
