I have another hack--I remembered it when you said "put something heavy on your card". Everyone seems to reach for acrylic blocks, which aren't very heavy. I picked up some marble "coasters" at Home Goods for $6. You get 4 and they work great as weights--and, they're pretty! Thanks for putting all of these hacks and tips in one video. We appreciate you!

Soooo much crafty goodness to digest here. I will look at contact paper in a new way and I love the tip about gluing layers together before die cutting. Here’s a handy supply extending and money saving tip I thought of today. It’s a game changer for me! I love to add coordinated embellishments to cards, but often don’t have the right color gems. So I punched out tiny circles from my colored cardstock and added a clear Nuvo drop to each one. I had PERFECTLY coordinated little gems rather than needing to buy all of the colors of gems or Nuvo drops. The possibilities are endless- glimmer paper, metallics. So fun!

@pennywarren2357 8 месяцев назад

@HeidiLilley 8 месяцев назад

Mary, the tips about the packaging tape and the contact paper are great. Another quick tip for the clear acetate for sentiments... Put a piece of bright washi or other tape on one end and fold it over the edge... When you slip it out of the misti and it slips across the desk or something moves it, the tape makes that clear plastic much easier to find.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

@amkarei 6 месяцев назад

I have a cut-to-size piece of $🌳 cutting sheet from their kitchen section that I use to lay over my design elements to judge if they're the correct size for my card. Even though it IS frosty, it still gets lost on my work surface! Thx bunches for the tip ... I'll DO IT!!

@patriciaschmitz1619 8 месяцев назад

Thank you Mary, some great tips there. Another hack for you. Don’t throw away your old cricut sticky mat. I cut it down and use it to keep safe my tiny die cuts before applying them to my cards. The sticky residue on the mats mean I don’t lose the die cuts anymore. I can cut them out the day before assembly, place a matching size of acetate on top (which I will now hinge, using your tip) and they all stay safe and sound. No more scrabbling on the floor searching for lost ones. ❤

Mary, my husband has a big roll of copper tape he used on an electronics project, with plenty left over. So, he gave the roll to me. I stick some to cardstock and run through an embossing folder. Wow! Gorgeous! Same thing with shiney, silver duct tape!

@3rwtj3 8 месяцев назад

My favorite hack is for making sure a die-cut stamped image is placed perfectly in the center by die cutting first, and then stamping: 1) Die cut a bunch of your shapes 2) Put a piece of scrap paper in your stamping tool and stamp the image 3) Place one of the frames of your die cutting around the stamped image 4) Add a die-cut shape to the frame 5) stamp perfectly in the center of the shape This also avoids any frustration of coloring an image and then screwing up the die-cutting itself.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

Fantastic idea!

@diannehazlewood2906 7 месяцев назад

@RachelRamey 8 месяцев назад

My mind is blown by the idea of gluing the paper together BEFORE die cutting. That would be especially helpful for the fiddly narrow ones that flop around after you cut them.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

YES indeed, I agree. I can't believe I wasn't doing it.

@scrappyLiz1 8 месяцев назад

I love that you stacked ur cardstock twice then diecut it 1x so you wouldn't have to sit there and diecut each piece individually. Then just glue all pieces 2gether for dimension. So many great tips. Thx for sharing these. And yes please do a part 2. 😊

@sweetsarah9702 8 месяцев назад

Fantastic video! So many great tips - some I already use, but many are new to me. One extra tip (for those unorganized crafters like me) when I make labels for my dies and stamps, I put the number of articles on the label so, at the end of a crafting session, I can just count and see if something is missing from that package! (then begins the hunt!:)

@justpassingthroughthistime9947 8 месяцев назад

Hello, I wanted to add a tip for using the foam tape for the shaker card. Especially, the thin piece you are trying to curve around the top of the shaker area. If you cut, on the outside of the tape about half way into the middle of the tape, when you go to curve around the circle shape, it will open up and follow the curve. Also, it will do the same thing with pretty much any shape you try to follow that isn't a straight line. You can also cut out a triangle shape as well, if you need to. Just don't cut too close to the inside edge of the tape. Hope this helps. Seamstresses use this tip when sewing curves. I picked up lots of useful tips . Thank you for this video.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

YAHHOOOOO this is gold, thanks!

@laurabuehler 8 месяцев назад

You can also get shiny paper by using your laminator. Put 2 sheets of paper back to back (pretty sides will touch the plastic lamination) inside of a laminating folder. Laminate through your machine. You may want to run it through twice since it's thicker with 2 sheets of paper inside. Once cool, cut the edges of the laminated pages, while saving as much as the paper as you can. The 2 sheets of paper will then separate since there's no lamination on the backs. You now have two sheets of paper with lamination on one side. You can die cut or use however you want.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

What a great hack! Thank you so very much

@judyk4589 8 месяцев назад

Thank you for a great video! Another way to make your own stencils is to laminate a piece of acetate and then either die cut or fussy cut whatever shape or image you want. It's fairly sturdy and you can see through it, which makes it easy to use. And thank you for the spreadsheet! I appreciate all of the time you have put into compiling the very helpful information!

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

Great tip!

@susanjohnson318 8 месяцев назад

I loved the packing tape on card stock to make shiny die cuts! That sure beats heat embossing in clear. Thanks also for the free excel document. You rock and I am now subscribing to you! My tip: I run white card stock through my embossing folders and keep the examples with my folders. When I want to use one for a card background, I flip through them and use for trying out layouts before using the folder on my card front with ink or embossing powder or whatever. Gives me a way to see how the embossing would look, which sometimes looking at the folder itself doesn't. These examples could also be put on a ring, like your hack for stencils.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

Awesome tips!! Thank you so much

@elenore3505 8 месяцев назад

Hi Mary, I really enjoyed this video - thank you! In the section where you used large sheets of foam tape to make strips, which you then used for a shaker card, a good idea after you place the surrounding strips, is to dab the inside edges with a cornflour pad so that the shaker pieces don’t get stuck. *Elenore from Australia 🌷

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

AMAZING tip thank you!

Hi, Mary. Thanks ever so much for the many tips & tricks. Here are a couple more: - Cut open a large brown paper bag to make a large rectangle; iron flat. Apply clear contact paper to make a handy work mat for stamping or painting. - Use gel pens to sign your name or write sentiments. Then apply embossing powder, and heat. Nice personal touch! - Use old eye shadows to dab on and color or shade die cuts; spray with aerosol hair spray to set. Thanks for all the ideas, everyone.

A tip for gluing. When using a stamp block for gluing layers use some baking paper under the block in case any glue oozes out. It will not stick to block.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

Fantastic idea and the baking paper so it doesn't stick. YES!

@peggydollar3089 8 месяцев назад

If you have a small area that has lifted( not glued) on a mat on your card front) cut a strip( I keep several handy from scraps of card stock) and apply glue on the end, stick under the lifted area and press down as you pull out the strip. The glue stays under neath and isn't messy. Hold in place with your fingers until it stays glued down.

@laurabuehler 8 месяцев назад

You can sharpen your scissors and punches (if you still have punches) with aluminum foil. Simply fold the foil a few times and cur through it several times with scissors or punch the foil. Be sure to make short cuts with the tip of the scissors and long cuts with the full length of the scissors to get it fully sharpened. You can also use a ball of foil to rub off any adhesive that may be stuck to your scissors. You can also cur through the foil to sharpen guillotine style trimmers.

When I'm making a lot of cards with small stamps that I then need to cut out with dies, I put the stamps in my Misti then when I put the dies over each stamp I press some Press N Seal over the dies and use it over and over so I don't have to position the dies each time. Works great!

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

@kimberlyagreene343 8 месяцев назад

Another homemade stencil hack is to keep the heavy clear plastic windows from product packaging whether its from craft supplies purchased or other items like boxes toys came in or food. Instead of throwing them in the land fields, cut the plastic out from package. Trim edges if needed or cut into useable square or rectangle. Make sure its clean. Then use your dies like you used for the contact paper idea to cut out shapes to make it into a stencil. Now you have an easy to clean reuseable stencil that is also easy to store with your other stencils! Its free & it helps our environment!

Thank you for each hack ! I keep a 12×12 white sheet of card stock by my table when I'm using ink pads. When I'm finished "inking" I dab my ink dauber on the white 12×12, keeping like colors some what together. I can punch/die cut shapes from the color swatches on the 12×12. I have one 12×12 with yellow and blues at the top, browns, grays, black at the bottom, working on greens in the center. Have made some "cuts" which was convenient. Takes a while to cover areas with ink, but I feel like I'm not wasting my inks and I'm coming up with interesting colors for punches/die cuts.

@minikraut 8 месяцев назад

Great compilation, Mary, thanks so much! I was wondering - has anyone ever used the "contact paper on cardstock" method for cutting stencils with a Cricut, Cameo or the like? And finally, when you mentioned the cutting dies on shower curtain rings, I thought of what I do: For all my nesting shapes - circles, ovals, squares, etc. - I cut a piece of cardstock and note on it which set, which die, and the size of the piece. I then punch holes into them and thread them all onto book binding rings, only not as sets, but sorted by size. So when I am trying to find a die that is juuuust the right size to say, cut a square around a stamped image, I don't have to go through my die sets. I just take my cutout squares and match, then get out the matching one.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

I haven't tried that yet (on the cricut). Great ideas for storage, thank you!

@coolstamper 8 месяцев назад

Thank you sooooo much Mary for taking the time to compile all of this for us!!! I watched the whole thing. I don’t have a computer at the time, so I copied the list you sent me and put it in the notes on my iPad. One hack I’d like to mention is: as long as you’re using dye ink (a water base ink), such as Memento, or any ink that’s not permanent, all you need to clean your stamps with is a damp wash cloth. I have been stamping for about 30 years. Years ago I used the paint scrubber thingie, but switched pretty quickly to just a damp wash cloth. Also when you’re stamping in your Misti on acetate for stamp placement, again, wipe off the acetate with the damp washcloth. And you don’t have to dampen the whole cloth if you don’t want to…just spray a little water on a corner of it and wipe down your stamp/acetate. I keep my cloth on a little saucer on my desk. When they get too dirty I just pop them in the washer with the rest of my towels and the ink has never transferred to my other towels or grayed my towels at all.

Great list of tips Mary and thanks very much for providing a free download spreadsheet with the full list! Here are a few more tips that may be helpful to others: - If need to lay out multiple die cuts evenly in a row, line them up on a flat surface against a straight edge/ruler and then apply a strip of low tack tape across them so you can pick them up, apply glue to the backs if required, and place them on the card panel all at once - Create a custom color matching card mat by wiping ink or marker around the edge of white cardstock (the center is covered by the overlaid panel) - Change the color of ribbon or string using ink pad, paint, or marker - For larger bottles of product (such as glue), put some in a smaller applicator tube or bottle with a precision tip for easier use - To apply glue to delicate detailed die cuts, put some glue down on craft mat, then pounce the die cut on top of the glue to coat the back -or- pick up a bit of the glue with a sponge or q-tip and dab it all over the die cut

Great tips Mary - thank you! I’m a new stamper/card maker and my studio is set up primarily for my handbag sewing. So every few days I roll out my carts that contain my paper crafting supplies (currently confined to a cleaned-out closet). I don’t want to use the healing mats on my work surface for inks, coloring, alcohol, pens, etc so I just place taped-together plastic place mats from Dollar Tree. They wipe off easily and then can be folded away when I need my cutting mats for sewing projects. I think a system like this of rolling carts and alternative work surface would be great for anyone starting out, or anyone who does not have a designated craft room, and maybe has to use a dining room or bedroom that needs to revert back to its primary purpose.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

.Really great idea, and I'm so glad you added the Dollar Tree mats. Because I mentioned that in a video the other day but I forgot to do in this one. Thank you so much

@kathyshull6 8 месяцев назад

Dollar Tree also has cutting mats ( 2 in a pkg) in the kitchen section! Clear plastic, easy to wipe off! I use them for craft mats, grandkid paint mats and dividers between different types of DSP or card stock. They cut easily to fit where you want and I use regular labels to identify whatever you are separating.

@bernicejanssen6540 9 месяцев назад

The hack that I didn't think about was the use of contact paper to make stencils so that they are stronger than plain cardstock. I also liked the hacks to make sticky mats by using the "wrong" side of the contact paper. While you were using poster board instead of the more expensive Yupo paper, I remembered that I use semigloss photo paper (usually the cheaper, the better) to put my alcohol inks on. It takes experimentation, but some work excellently.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

@artdeb86 8 месяцев назад

i use the back of Kirkland photo paper for alcohol inks. Doesn't absorb as much as the front side does.

@kimberlyagreene343 8 месяцев назад

Here is a added tip for you to add to your molding thicker foam adhesive around the rounded edges: if the foam is wide you can cut very small slits on the side facing the rounded edge being careful not to cut all the way through. Only cut about a 1/3 of the way. This will allow you to bend & mold the wider foam edging around the circle edge.

@susancerroni6671 8 месяцев назад

Great video, Mary! I already left a comment, but I just thought of another hack. I saw it on one of Gina K‘s Videos if you want to make a mat on one of your cards, and you want it to be a gold or silver, shiny mat but you don’t have silver or gold paper, you can put powder along the edge of a piece of cardstock the size of the mat you want, and then stamp it with first mark, and then dip it in gold or silver, embossing powder and heat set it. You can do the same thing if you want to cut out a small die cut of some thing, gold or silver. (for example, a gold star atop your Christmas tree), you can hit him boss gold on a small piece of cardstock, and then die cut from it your star die.

@marypolancodesigns 8 месяцев назад

Hi Mary, thank you so much for making this video, and btw it wasn't long at all. I could have easily watched another hour of your craft hacks...LOL! 🤣There were many hacks that I have seen before, but it is always good seeing them again as a reminder so we can use these techniques in our craft studios. I know I have received some stamp sets in the past that have the tape to keep both acetate sheets together, but not all of them. I probably will go and tape the remainder of my stamp sets, so I am not wasting time trying to find the appropriate acetate piece that somehow always gets lost on my (messy) craft desk. Thanks for sharing! 💖 One thing I didn't know was how to store favourite videos into a personal playlist and place them in the library. I have seen the library icon on the left-hand side of the screen but didn't know what it was there for. I will probably have to watch that part of your video over and over again for the instructions. 🙃 Mary, I love the content of your videos and I have been watching for quite a while, but this is the first time that I have left a comment.

@RosyRosie42 9 месяцев назад

I don’t know if I’d call it a “hack” because it was initially very time consuming, but it’s something I did for my Ohuhu markers: Assuming you can get the Avery 1/2” circle template to match up with the actual stickers/labels, then you can print out the marker color names/codes onto the circle labels (x2), swatch the markers on their corresponding stickers, and adhere to both pen caps. This way you have an exact swatch of the marker directly *on* the marker (since the current pen caps aren’t quite true-to-color) and you know exactly what color you’re selecting. Like I said, for me it was extremely time-consuming to put it together (mainly because I had to fuss with the computer program that ultimately failed me, and then I had to type, print, and cut from my label-maker instead…) but in the end, I’m soooo happy with the results. Looks beautiful, and is so much easier than searching through a swatch guide sheet to find the color I want.

I had never thought of Contact paper, but I will definitely be adding some new stencils and mats to my collection. I love craft foam for dimensional sentiments. I store my pre-cuts (extras cut out when die cutting) in small bags in a 4” CD storage binder. Little sticky tabs divide my themes. And labels on the bags let me know which set they are from if I am running low.

Oh my word, the amount of work this video must have taken! Thank you so much! So many great tips. I'll list the ones that were like a 'duh' moment for me GLUING the paper together first before layering die-cuts--brilliant. Hinging the acetate-I've lost a ton and it is annoying to have two pieces. Speaking of acetate, I like to use that as a stencil base, (vs contact paper ,but that's cool too) mainly so I can see what I'm doing. ha ha It's great for die cutting an a2 (or whatever) and then re die-cutting a frame or what not inside of that piece so it can make a silhouette. Perfect. When I use double sided foam/tape I like to use a glue stick on top of it so that I have a bit of wiggle room. It's even more forgiving than using liquid glue, and yes it does hold. Final one...I was in the PO talking with a worker and I happened to mention that I send a lot of cards. I told him it was hard for me to know if stuff needed extra postage or not, so he hands over what they use to determine if sometime needs more postage! Now I don't know if that guy was just super nice or what, but it's worth a shot to ask. :D Oh..one more (ha ha) Hobby Lobby has those big stamp scrubby things for about 2 bucks. ;) Cheers

@mzp6620 I have heard on videos from other crafters that the stamped envelope had to be under 1/4” before adding more postage.

@mzp6620 8 месяцев назад

@@lindacrawford5187 It also depends on bulk. If you have "dimension is life" on your card, it may have to be hand canceled, more postage. Also if you put a wax seal on the back of an envelope it's an additional 40 cents. Believe me, I had the flatest, thinest seal I could put on an envelope and it was still 40 cents more. I suppose you could just drop it in without inquiring about postage and it might go, but it may cost the recipient extra. I don't want to take that chance.

I have used it to make my crafting surface (an A3 piece of card I painted to look neat and covered), and I love how easy it is to clean. And it is easy to move out of the way when I want to use a different surface for different techniques. I am also intrigued about using the paint edger to clean stamps. I have one of the stampin up hinged cleaners with a wet and a dry side (same kind of materials but larger), but it would be good to have something more portable and smaller.
