Enjoyed your video. I also agree with your statement about negativity. We have enough of it today without having it on here. After all, we are getting free content and advice. Give people credit for what they are trying to achieve. I look forward to future videos.
Hi Denise. I agree with your position on negativity. Can't figure out why people engage in that kind of thing. But ... having said that, you really scored on this haul! I have always been a bit annoyed that I had to turn a ruler around to read inches vs. metric, and I didn't even know that these new rulers even existed. What a find! I also love the corner tucks, the edge designs and the stars! And the flamingo is adorbs! Thanks for sharing the examples. That always helps!
Hi Debbie! Unfortunately, some miserable people want everyone to be miserable too. The ruler is great and makes having to convert measurements much easier. I'll link some of the items above just in case you are interested in seeing more details. I appreciate you watching.💕
The flamingo - it isn't a foot, it goes on top of his head. it is grouped with the eyes. Only reason I know this is I ordered it and wanted to see the finished product so I could make one and the picture showed two feet like feathers on his head. I laughed so hard. So from now on I snip a pic of everything I purchased so I know what it is supposed to look like when done. Yours came out very cute, like the bow around his neck. Oh where can I find the jelly bag you made in pink? Looked for it couldn't find it.
Suzanne, thanks for letting me know.😄 I didn't know what all the extra pieces were for. Lol! If you can DM me a picture on Instagram of what it looks like, I would appreciate that. My IG account is listed above. Also, the link for the jelly bag is the first link above. They call it a Boho Beach bag. Thanks for watching.🤗💕
Thank you, Linda! Your mother is a very wise woman. Lol! The tag is very simple to put together. I just did a video tutorial on how I put it together a few weeks ago if you want to watch the tutorial on "How to Make a Tag Pouch." Thanks for watching.🤗
Thank you Michelle! I tried turning the MOM upside down to create WOW, but it just doesn't look right. A few other people made the same suggestion, But I think I will keep it saying MOM. Lol! Thanks for watching.🤗💕
I was able to find them on Shein, but they cost a bit more, and they are slightly different. us.shein.com/Tag-Design-Steel-Die-Mold-p-17562893-cat-3499.html?src_identifier=st%3D5%60sc%3Dcraft%20dies%60sr%3D0%60ps%3D1&src_module=search&src_tab_page_id=page_prime1687383067035&mallCode=1
@jodimcnamara8662 It looks like they are larger, but I really like them. I actually wanted the larger set originally, but I received the tiny set instead.
Thank you for your demonstration I’m new to Temu and just started buying some dyes was curious about the quality and what they did I looked at that lemon but I didn’t order it I didn’t realize it was a shaker card that is so adorable I’m going to be watching more of your videos very talented lady.
Oh Denise the little purse, so cute, but I also have been taken by dies thinking they were larger, I always check the measurements on the website before ordering and comparing it to a expensive die set, so I haven't been mistaken on ordering since. Your video is informative, TYFS
I usually check the dimensions too, but I got excited when I saw the die set and assumed they were the same size.🤦♀Lol!!! They are still very cute and I will use them because some people appreciate tiny things. Tfw
I just subscribed. I love Temu! I've ordered a lot of dies. I love them. I've also ordered a lot of the stamp sets, but some of them will not stamp a full image, it's like the stamp wasn't made evenly. So, I enjoy the ones which work and hang onto the ones that don't stamp just in case someone can tell me a fix. Love your haul! ❤
Thanks for watching and subscribing to my channel. That's so interesting that the stamps don't work. You should request a refund. They may tell you to keep it anyway if it doesn't work.
@@solocraftz I waited too late to test them. 😂🤣 In the future I'll test as I get them. Overall, I love everything I've ordered from Temu. If something comes smaller than I thought, it's always my goof for not reading the dimensions.
Like your style and your warning to those who trawl the internet with no other purpose than to try and upset people. I’ve liked and subscribed from here🇬🇧 I love Temu dies my only gripes are some are so tiny so it’s wise to check the measurements with a ruler. The other gripe is when one buys more complex boxes they never come with instructions 😢 makes my brain frazzle attempting to work the build out😂 three cookie boxes on their site now that I’ve purchased with only a finished picture to guide me. Having said that similar set of dies would cost in excess of £80.00 plus from BIG name suppliers the Temu ones cost me just over a quarter of that price.
I appreciate your comments and for stopping by my channel. I also wish that a picture would accompany some of the more complex dies. I usually have to go back and find the link, copy the picture and print it out so that I can use it as a guide once I begin the assembly process. I do love their prices also.
No problem! It's nice to know if a die cuts well or not before you purchase them. I've had paper get stuck in the metal dies and get ruined. Of course those dies were returned to sender because they were not cheap.
What a review so enjoyable and informative you have a lovely uplifting voice too i hope to see more of your work in the near future Denise THANKYOU 😊😊❤❤
I found with the dies, when I get them, I generally have no idea what the shapes are. So I copy the image of die and the card it makes from the sample it shows, put it on a word document, adjust the size so I get several on a page, then print, and cut out and put them in plastic envelopes (also purchased on Temu) and file away. I file by themes in a plastic shoebox size, made dividers by cutting plastic file folders to size. Now when I want to make cards I can pick theme divider and see what the die will look like. Caution, do this once you send to purchase, often by the time it comes it may be discontinued and you can no longer see what it is, so now I know what mine does!
Thanks for sharing your method of storing dies. I also copy and paste the images of the dies into Word or Publisher and print them out. I place the photo with the die set as well.👍👍
Thank you so much for reviewing Temu dies! It's a shame that we have to ask people not to leave mean comments. It's sad that people are so unhappy in their own lives that they feel they need to take it out on others. You gained a new sub.
Hey I was looking for Temu reviews on the cutting dies and found your channel. Nicely done. Did you use a Big Shot or an electric cutting machine Those? Those tiny tags are so cute. Perfect size for pieces of Laffy Taffy I get from DT. That corner die with the 2 curved opening slots is actually for making a motion action slider. Like they do in children's books. I think I need that basket purse and that mesh screen die. Thanks
Thank you so much! Thanks for the suggestion (Laffy Taffy) and information on the corner die. I do own a Big Shot and used it for the samples in the video. I appreciate you watching. 🤗💕
I think it would work. A lot of dies can cut through fabric and vinyl, so I don't think it would be an issue. All the best with that. Let me know if you try it.
Do you have a link to the jelly bag die? Temu's search function is lacking, I tried but can't find it and would love to grab that! What a fun way to package goodies!
A lot of crafters have the Cricut machine to make SVG files that you can't find dies for. Plus you can change the size or alter different elements to suit your needs with the Cricut machine. You can't necessarily do that with dies, unless they come in multiple sizes (S, M, L). Dies are quick and easy to use and don't require a computer set up to use, like the Cricut machine does. It's personal preference. The Cricut machine is a good investment if you USE it. I recommend using both the Cricut machine and the dies because you can't always find what you need with just dies but you can create it with a Cricut.
What tool do you use to remove the tiny metal pieces that are attached to the dies when you separate them? I have so much trouble with this. Not everyone can spend hundreds on craft supplies.
Hi Janet! Sometimes, if I need to, I just use a pokey tool, or something with a point on it. I also have one of those bristle brushes, like a craft Tool-in-one, that I use. The one I currently own is from Sizzix.
I have been very pleased with my Temu dies. I know so many complain about the items being made in China, however if you look at the packages of US companies you will see : made in China. They cost way more . I’m not willing to pay more for a similar item .Thank you for your presentation.
A shaker is something we paper crafters make with paper, vellum, or other crafting materials that has sequin or tiny beads inside like the strawberry I show in this video. You can add it to any paper crafting project as an added fun interactive element.
The little purse is s Memory dex/Rolodex card. I got some on Amazon while at the beach and got a large memory dex holder to display them. Really loved it. Thank you so much for sharing. BTW , Temu allows returns for 90 days, and price adjustments for 30. 💟😍
Oh! Okay! I was wondering what some of the tabs were for. The example they have on TEMU website has them using the memdex pieces as a decorative feature on the purse. It looked really odd to me, so I went on AliExpress to see if they had a better sample picture, and they did. But they don't show it as a memorydex card. I am going to figure this one out. I may have to do another video just for this purse alone.😆 Thanks for sharing that info with me. I also wasn't aware that TEMU did price adjustments for 30 days. I appreciate you.🤗💕
TFS. I have never had any problem with dies not cutting from Temu or Ali. As for the size, it really does pay to scroll down and search for the sizes. Temu is better at this than Ali I think. It’s great to see the finished product.😊
I have had a number of dies not cut at all from Ali and a couple from TEMU that I had to dispose of a couple of months prior to making this video. I normally do check the size, but because I already had a similar die set, I just assumed that the other one I found was the same size. Tfw.
Hi Denise, TYFS. So sorry that you are having to put up with the negativity. DO NOT play around with them, BLOCK THEM and do not think twice about it… I have been wondering about how TEMU dies cut out, it looks like they are decent. Going to order some of the dies you got.
Hi Maria! You need a die cutting machine in order to use the dies. You can find them at craft stores or online, even on Amazon. You can do a search on RU-vid to find tutorials on how to use die cutting machines. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Hi Barb! I appreciate your feedback. I do use a webcam and microphone when I record and the volume is all the way up. However, when I do my editing, my volume gets lowered for some strange reason. I have tried to adjust it with the mixer every time I do editing, but it doesn't work and there is nothing more I can do. I apologize for not being able to correct that. Believe me, I have tried. I do appreciate you watching though.🤗
Thank you! I used my Big Shot machine. Try using a shim if you are having issues with your die cutting through paper. It makes a huge difference. You can use one or two layers of cardstock as a shim on the smooth side of your die. Try it and see.
@@solocraftz I got the idea from the DT dies, someone said to make hills, but I seen another use for them and tried it out, now I can’t find them so I can share with friends 🫤
No, I didn't paint anything. Everything you see is different colors of paper. There are two pieces to the Thank you die set that you cut out separately. The words "Thank you" are one connected die piece, and then the background is the other die piece.
Absolutely...no need for negative comments! We should be encouraging others... the world has enough negative elements and we should always, given the chance, should give encouragement whenever we can❣️🤗
