I have become a professional cardmaker with the help of the talented people on RU-vid. I hope to inspire others as they pursue their passion in this creative field. I will strive to be a source of support and encouragement throughout their creative journey, as I do believe - Creativity takes Courage.
@@MountainAirOrganicBeds Thank you for commenting. Yes, I am still creating cards. Unfortunately I've had no time for videos. I am hoping that changes soon...I truly miss it.
@@MountainAirOrganicBeds Hi... you're making the rounds! Thanks so much for your comments and interest. Yes, a paper back on glitter paper is so much easier to work with. Also double sided tape keeps everything clean and easy to put in place. Thanks again.
Excellent tutorial on intricate die cutting. I am new to scrapbooking and this gives me lots of confidence. I found die release paper on Amazon and it works beautifully. I also have purple painters tape to help hold my dies in.
I love your voice. Do I need a special foil or deco foil paste? I am confused. Are you saying this foil works just with the heat of the pen and nothing else?
@@MountainAirOrganicBeds Hi again...yes, transferring the foil is done with the pen and a bit of pressure. Please note the foil you need is Heat Transfer Foil. Toner foil will not work as toner foil needs some kind of adheasive to transfer. I hopes this helps with your confusion. Again, thank you for your comment.
@@MountainAirOrganicBeds Hi ...sorry to say...I don't know what a word burning pen looks like. I assume it's a pen that gives off heat. It may be similar, but maybe hotter??? Again, sorry I can't give you a comparison, but thank you for stopping by and for commenting.
Been a minute since I have done this. Always loved the effect/background. You had added extra ideas to the technique. Thanks. I bought several packages of tinfoil cookie sheets from the Dollar Tree which work well for carrying trays to move projects.
I used the old AG purse. Then I used Gemini. Then I used sizzix big shot. Now I use AG Empress. No matter what I use, the dies will not cut through with the any of the double sided backing. They NEVER cut through no matter what I do. I like my dies & I have intricate dies. So I can't make anything better so I have to use wet glue. (I use the same double sided backing.) I use a lot of shims, so that I am white knuckled & it still doesn't work. Never cuts through the other side of the double sided materials. I have tried every one! Help please. Be kind to each other. Stay safe. Love to all
Hi Rhonda Kennedy...sorry you're struggling with die cutting. I know cutting through the backing of double sided tape can be challenging. I dont know whose tape you're using, or what dies you're trying to cut with, but some double sided tapes are thicker than others. I use Elizabeth Craft Design double sided tape because it's thin and strong. The basic sandwich would be in the Big Shot, the platform, the cut plate (or the metal adapter plate if the die is very intricate) a paper shim (at least 65lbs) , what you are trying to cut with the adhesive side down...with the release plastic still on, your die facing down, then the top plate. If you run it through and it still dosent cut add another shim between the die and the top plate for more pressure. Note: Never force the sandwich, just reduce the papers weight and try again. Also, after you run it through the first time, rotate your die 45 degrees and run it back through the machine. It should work, but again I don't know your paper, dies, adhesive or the plates you are using. Please let me know how you make out...I hope I helped.
What a wonderful tutorial! I am going to try your ideas. I love it when ones think out of the box and you did that, thinking of ways to make a product better. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤
Hi Jeannie Herrera! Thank you for your kind comment. I'd love to hear about how die cutting by shimming from the bottom works for you. It's funny because I watched the video and found it to be a bit disjointed. It seems I was talking and demonstrating two different things at once. I'm glad it made sense to you and it inspired you to try it. Let me know how you make out and again thank you.
Hi Gabrielle Erickson! Thank you for your comment. It's nice to know these videos are still helpful. Good luck with your bookbinding and happy foiling.
Hi Nellie Rodriguez! Thank you for your kind comment. I played around with these dies and found you can make the strips longer by partial die cutting. They then can frame any size you wish. Thank you again.
Thank yuu so much for your videos! I find this has been the MOST helpful and valuable with using these pens. I bought one for labeling side of my planner dividers but gave up because it didn’t work, but know I know about all of these variables thanks to you! Thank 🙏you! Stay well!
I did not make it to the end of this video, it was just too slow and annoying. Between the mumbling and the loud high pitched beeping, I have no idea what the hell that was but it made me think it was something in my home... I stopped your video to check that... oh, it was on the fucking video... And here's a tip, try putting the mouse stamp and the mushroom stamp on a piece of tissue paper how you want them positioned on the card, and then do the lot at once, instead of the mouse and then the mushroom... OMG this video was so annoying.
Hi TinaS! Thank you for your kind comment. It's been awhile since I created this video. I'm happy it's still helpful and has inspired you to try foiling with tissue paper. Let me know how you make out with this technique. Thank you again and happy foiling.
I finally got my hands on this set! Thanks so much for the tutorial and the things to watch out for, it does look a wee bit time consuming to put together. I would have despaired on those overlapping pieces! 🤣 OH..on the long ornament, it looked like the second layer is supposed to be darker then the base (going by sizzix layer vid) is that right? The other ones looked like they were all dark to light.
Hi Mary P. Thank you for your comment. The beauty of these dies it's you can do whatever you want. Yes, colors in a particular order can add the feel of more dimension. Play with the colors to get the look you want. Again, thank you for stopping by.
Hello Tzuriah! Thank you for your kind comment. I have so much fun working with the foil quills...I hope you will too. I've done other videos showcasing the quills. Check them out when you have the time. If you have any problems or questions... I'm here. Thanks again and please stop by often.
Ingenus dies & what great detail i never heard of a snipable die. (Ive only been using dies since 2016) The Finished product is a Wow! Thanks for sharing.
Hi again Dena! Thank you again for stopping in and taking the time to comment. I'm not surprised you didn't know about snipable dies. I haven't seen anyone showcase a snip able die for years. That is one of the reasons I wanted to do this video...I also loved the die set. I'm glad you found the video helpful. It's knowing I'm being helpful that has made me want to come back to doing YT videos. Thank you again.
Hi Dena (My daughter's name too)...Thank you for watching and commenting. Although this card took awhile, it was a lot of fun to make. Needless to say, I only made this one! It's always fun to create something from something that was intended to be something else. Thank you again and please stop by often.
Hi Lisa!! In general, I think the Hero Arts dies are the most snip-able... I almost got this die set...! This vid was lots of fun! "we all have our limits" 😀 All my best to the whole clan!
Hi Scott, thank you for watching and commenting. This was fun to do... and it gets me ready to do some colorizing. I love hearing from you and hope you and Joel are well and happy. Thanks again. TTYS
Great follow-up to your tissue video - love those pooling colors in the wrinkles...! Easy to get lost with you in your playtime...! Always good to see you!
Hi Scott! Thanks for stopping in and for your kind comments. I really wanted to show more in this video, but my camera was running on almost "0" power. I had some finished cards and wanted to show them at the end. Maybe I'll try again. Hope you and Joel are well and happy... we're all fine.
The colors turned out beautiful on your tissue paper! Looked like "time flies when you're having fun!" LOL I've had that issue too when my battery started going down while filming. Sorry your A/C stopped working and hopefully be able to get that fixed soon. Glad you got a bigger room to craft but then again, I'm sure you are missing your daughter! Thanks for sharing Lisa!
Hi Barbara, thanks so much for watching and commenting. I was totally unprepared to do this video, but I wanted to share different ways to color the paper (well, that didn't happen) and I also wanted to show finished cards. Yes, I do miss my daughter, but she's not too far away so I'll see her often. Also, Greg is stationed much closer to home so he's been stopping in, and James is always visiting. I'm okay, getting used to the quiet. Thanks again Barbara. Stay well.
Hi Randy! I'm so glad you're excited about using this technique for die cuts. It really is a lot of fun. Let me know how you make out with the gluing. I'm here if you need me.
I understand what you're saying. Anything that has craters and swirls adds dimension and interest to die cut pieces. I started watching part 2 then realized I needed to watch this class first. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Randy! Thank you so much for watching and commenting. Unfortunately missed the last couple of weeks with Stacey, you and the SMS peeps. I hope everyone is well and happy! I had so much fun with the tissue paper... never did it before. Now to color the panels... one of my favorite things to do! Thank you again, and remember... you owe me a visit!
@@itsthelittlethingsincardma7949 Hi Lisa! Yesss, you've been missed in the Live Chats. Can't wait to see you color the panels. Yes I haven't forgotten about a visit
Welcome back Lisa!!!!! This is a really neat technique and can't wait to see more of what's up your sleeve! I've done something similar to this but using 1 ply decorated napkins and instead of glue, I used saran wrap & an iron, it does make pretty cards. However your technique is faster for sure!! Thank you for sharing and I enjoyed watching!! Hugs 😉
Hi Barbara! Thank you for watching and commenting. I had such fun using the tissue paper. Adding color will be fun too! I hope you are staying well and keeping busy. Thanks again and please keep in touch...❤
Hi Dorothy Odenthal! Thank you for your kind comment. I'm happy you enjoyed this video. I enjoyed making it and hope to get back to video making soon. Thank you again and please stop by often.
Hi dorrell harrison! Thank you for your kind comment. I'm happy you enjoyed this video. The quill pens are a lot of fun to play with and can be used in many ways. Thank you again and please stop by often.
Hi Sia Kouro! Thank you for your comment and for supporting my channel. I am hoping to get back to these quill pens (They are a lot of fun) and to making more videos soon. Thank you again and please stop by often.
This is awesome! Exactly the technique I needed for customizing small paper bags! Thank You!!!!!! I was struggling because I couldn't figure out how I could use the pen since I'm not very good with free handing things!!!! :)
Hi timeaftertime100! Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad you found this video helpful. These quill pens are a lot of fun to work with... happy foiling!
Hi Natalie Greco. Thank you for commenting. You can stamp on the foil but remember, the foil is not secure on the surface. It is very thin and the pressure you use can make the foil snag or slip. This would result in spotty or skipped transfers. By using a tracing medium your pen doesn't snag or catch on the foil, plus stamping on tissue or tracing paper is easier and cleaner than stamping onto the foil. That being said, try it both ways to see what would be better for you.
Hello Milan! Thank you for your kind comment. Do you have these quill pens? If so, how are you using them? I'm always looking for other ways to use them. Thank you again and please stop by often.
Hi Barbara Edmondson! Thank you for your kind comment. I'm glad you found this video helpful or inspiring. I've had so much fun creating with these quill pens. Happy foiling and please stop by often.
Hi Holly Dawson James! Thank you for your kind comment and for supporting my channel. I'm so glad you found the video helpful and inspiring. You are going to have so much fun with these foil quills! Happy foiling and please stop by often.
@@itsthelittlethingsincardma7949 your a blessing thank you for your time and creativeness do you think the deco transfer gel with help with the different foils?
Hi again Holly Dawson James! I'm sorry but I'm not very familiar with everything Deco Transfer Gel can do. What I do know is the gel does work with the deco foils since like toner it is an adheasive. The only difference is the toner needs to be heated (Minc or laminating machine) to activate the adheasive, while Deco transfer gel needs to get tacky before you apply the foil... not heating needed. I'm sorry I cannot be of more help.
Hi ladymartin11... Thank you for your kind words and for supporting my channel. Sooo you're a Brooklyn girl too... yippee! If you'd like to chat email me at... it'sthelittlethingsin cardmaking@gmail.com
Hi Pam Daley! Thank you for your comment and for supporting my channel. Yes, easier then they seem. What helps is using double sided tape, especially with the smaller pieces. I wanted to do another video on these dies showing how to mix tops and bottoms of the different ornaments to create different shaped ornaments. I just didn't have the opportunity. Thanks again and if you need anything let me know. Happy Holidays!
Hi. ..This Is Your Brain On Crafts! Thank you for your kind comment. No it's not a nail polish holder, it's a 1oz. Bottle Holder. It's like something you would store the 1oz. Stickles bottles in. I used that because I now store my 1oz. bottles differently, but you can use any container that is that shape. I hope I helped. Thanks again and please stop by often.
Hi April Jeffers! Thank you for your kind comments. I'm so glad you found me too! It always makes me feel good to know I've help other crafters with my videos. Thank you again and please stop by often. Happy foiling!
Hi murphy goodman! Thank you for your kind comment. I always have fun playing with these quills...I hope you do too! Thanks again and please stop by often.
Hi Hot Wives Club. Sorry for the delay in responding to your question. The top paper is tissue paper. The kind you put in gift bags. Thank you for your comment and stop by often.
