OMG the press and seal is going to be a game changer!!! Thanks so much for these tips. Been stamping for years and I learned sooo much!
Just watched your video on the 10 Die Cutting Hacks. Absolutely wonderful. Thank you for all of the tips and tricks. You never disappoint.
I always look forward to your emails. This one about 10 ways to use your dice was extremely informative.
Your videos are ALWAYS timely and well done but today you hit the home run out of the park!! I didn’t want it to end😄. I have used Press-n-Seal for the Floating Card technique but LOVE all of the new uses when die cutting. Can’t wait to see what you have for us the rest of the month❤️
You are just amazing! You always inspire me with your ideas! I agree with Suzanne YOU are the best!!! And We Love You!
Thanks, Connie. I will try to emboss with a die today. That’s a game changer. Have a great day. Happy stamping.
I LOVED this video! Great ideas!!! Thank you for always having great information and fabulous card ideas.
Thank you so much for the great tips!!! #10 is my favorite, too!!!!!!!
Great tips! I use Press n Seal to line up die cuts for a layout but never even thought of using it for cutting.
Thank you for all of your great videos Connie.
They discontinued the magnetic plate again? It appears I will never get one at this rate.
I know. I must say, kuddos to Stampin’ Up for putting quality ahead of the old mighty dollar. It seems that manufacturers tend to ‘tweak’ things after the product has been tested and approved by the company. It’s sad. I just wish they could have found a solution because it’s a fabulous product.
How do you cut 8×8.5 die my cutting machine isn’t big
Unfortunately you can’t cut anything that large. You might want to work with layers that are smaller than 6-inches.
I watch your videos every chance I get and Connie… you are amazing. I’ve been addicted to rubber stamps well over 24 years and I learn something new so much of the time from you. Thank you for all you do and make it fun to watch.
Thank you so much for sharing such useful tips.
I watched your die cutting hacks video and went out and got some press and seal but it seems to really stick to the paper and leave a stickiness to my paper. Any suggestions
Hmm, I didn’t have that problem but what I would suggest is that you tap the Press & Seal on your shirt or pant leg to pick up a little lint. That makes it less sticy.
It may stick to the paper a bit outside the die but not the paper in the die.
OH Connie, you just amaze me with all these fabulous tips. I have two questions: what stamp set is the “Just a Note” in? (that font is beautiful) and the flower die that you used in the beginning of this video is from what set of dies? I cannot find either one. Thanks SO MUCH for your time.
That is the Go to Greetings set from the new annual catalog. It’s awesome!
Connie, I have been watching your videos, since the beginning of the pandemic. I have learned so much, much more than I have in over 20 years of paper crafting. The 10 tips for die cutting have lifted me out of the paper crafting doldrums. Whenever I am stumped, your tutorials and tips get me through. Thank you for sharing your expertise, inspiration and passion for paper crafting with Stampin Up.
Thank you so much, I am off now to try some embossing with my dies
