- This was a viewer request and it made way more sense in my head than I think it makes here. My apologies if it’s as clear as mud. For new folks, it shows what die cuts are and a few varied ways to make them and alter them for use in your journal projects. The makers I’ve referred to are Tim Holtz and Jennifer McGuire. Both have many videos on how to make and use diecuts with various inks and potions. Mine are simply created with junk journaling in mind. I hope this helps and happy creating!
Wow, two years after you made this video and it pops up into my feed and I am loving these flowers the way you did them!! They are gorgeous and would rival anything that manufacturers would package to sell. Thank you Cori, I recently just found you and I have been binge watching your videos. You are brilliant.
Thank you Debbie and welcome! I really love making die cut flowers, then making them my own. Happy creating to you!
You're expanding my horizons! I've used Tim Holtz die cut flowers for a couple of years now, but never thought to switch out leaf or flower heads, or use the glaze. I'm so glad I found your channel!!
I’m glad too and welcome! I love using dies and enjoy finding different ways to utilize them.
Wow!!! I'm just starting and I had know idea what all could be done with die cuts. My mind is a bit blown. I'll be watching this video over and over again. Thank you so much!!!!
You're welcome Kathryn and have fun with those die cuts!
Wow, I would never have thought about the mixing and matching, that is brilliant and produces a beautiful effect! Thank you very much for explaining all that, very useful and helpful indeed ❤
You're very welcome and I'm happy that you found it useful 😊
Oh gosh, I love it, I am ready to go a few steps further with flowers. Thank you Cori!
Playing with diecuts is eminently satisfying. I hope you have fun with them!
This rabbit hole of Junk Journaling I've fallen down is never-ending. I love watching your videos I learn so much. I cannot wait to get my dies (I literally bought dozens of the flowers, leaves, plants and mushroom ones). Wishing I had seen this video first and learned how to alter the pieces into different ones before buying one of each 😆. You're amazing thank you for taking time to record these videos and sharing your creative genius with all of us.
Lol! Hello Rachelle and you’re welcome! You’ll really enjoy your dies because they are so handy and versatile! Having a variety of shapes will definitely come in handy 😊
I would have never thought of coffee dying my already cut out elements. Wonderful idea and results. TFS
Thank you! I really like the result of coffee/tea soaked into the ends of the cut paper pieces. Less inking to do 😊
Wow.... a very informative tutorial, definitely will be die cutting flowers then coffee dying. Brilliant. You have so many cool idea 💕
Thank you Michelle 😊
Wow...thanks for sharing and giving me new ideas for using my flower dies! 🥰
I just love flower dies... so many possibilities! Have fun.
I wondered about your cut flowers. Very cool technology. I will have to get some of these. I'm excited to learn more. Thanks for sharing this beautiful. ❤🌞👏🦋👍🌟💓
They are a great way to use up a variety of sizes of scraps. Plus, they are just a lot of fun to make!
Your flowers look like pressed flowers. Love your technique.

My pleasure! I need another diecutting day. They are so fun and relaxing. Happy creating!
Thank you Cori for a great tutorial on how to make extra beautiful embellishments! You are so good at explaining the processes!!

Cori, this video is absolutely fabulous! So many wonderful ideas and I WILL be using these ideas in probably almost all my journals! Thank you so much for this! You’re awesome! Blessings, Judy 💕😊🦋🌷
Brilliant video! Thank you!
Love this idea. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you Lori 💕
So helpful. I have so much stuff just sitting waiting for me to use it and you gave me some great ideas. I have coffee dyed for years. Yesterday I coffee dyed and the paper got so dry and brittle that when I folded it tore. I think I cooked it too long. Yourn flowers are beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
Lol Linda! True confession... I almost never cook my paper. I get busy and it air dries before I ever put it in the over or microwave. My challenge for you... go use some of your collection to make new treasures!
Thank you, Cori! This is a very valuable tutorial! Awesome teaching! 😀💞
Super glad you’ve found it helpful Keryn 💕
Love how your flowers look!
Thank you Jamie 😊
Great information. Love Tim's stuff. Thank you.
Seriously, what would we do without Tim?! I’m glad we don’t need to find that out!
Fantastic instructions! Love the look of your flowers! ❤️
Thank you Debby 😊
Thank you, Cori, for so generously sharing your techniques and skills with the rest of us. I am really enjoying your videos.
Thank you Diane. It’s wonderful to have you here 😊
Thank you so much! You explained everything so well. I’m new to die cutting and this will help me so much to mix and match the end result. Yours are almost realistic. Once again, thank you! I’ve subscribed to your channel 😊
Thank you and welcome! I'm happy to hear that you've gained some ideas on ways to use dies. I admit, they are my kryptonite!
Wonderful video with great info so thank you, Cori!
You’re welcome Jeanette.
Wonderful results. Can’t wait to try it.
This is a long time favorite technique of mine. I always enjoy building up my stash with these.
Wow, I love these! Thank you so much for showing how to do them!
My pleasure! I’ve been playing with punched out and die cut pieces for a long time and I still love working with them 😊
@@CoriDahmen 🥰
These are so amazing!!! They look like so much fun and this was my first video to watch! You hooked me here and I am almost caught up with your videos.
Lol! I’m certain you have to be tired of me by now, but I’m glad you’ve enjoyed the videos 😊
Thanks for the video. I got a lot of ideas from watching. Just got a Sidekick and have been experimenting. Thanks also for mentioning the shim. I don’t need one yet but probably will eventually. I know about shims from my husband.
Glad to help and I'm happy to hear that you've been inspired with mew ideas ❤
I thought that you had dried flowers at first...the effect you achieved is awesome...more natural.
Thank you Pam. I really enjoy trying new things with die cuts, so I'm always happy to share what I discover.
I love the intricacies of your teaching style... thanks for taking the time to show the versatility of dies to us... I really appreciate your skills and ingenuity... die cuts are so beautiful and add another dimension to a project ... so wonderful!
Thank you Chris. I really enjoy teaching and sharing. I’m certain that I learn as much as others do 😊
Thank you so much for showing how to do this!!!
You are very welcome Norma. Have fun 😊
I love this video so much!!! I loooove how they turned out! I ordered a set of the Tim Holtz wild flowers and will make some like yours. You are so talented! I’m really enjoying your channel. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you and I’m happy to hear you’re enjoying the videos. I love sharing ideas and seeing how others adapt them and make them their own.
New subscriber, first video of yours I’ve seen! Super informative, and loved the coffee dye segment.
Thank you and welcome! I hope you find some projects that inspire you 😊
Very helpful, thank you. You are very creative.
Thank you, Danielle ❤️
So much fabulous information for us newbies‼️ I HAVE to hurry and get a machine so that I can have fun doing all of these. Thank you for sharing! 💗
My pleasure and I apologize for the delayed response. Have fun creating!
Very helpful info on the coffee dyed tracing paper being tougher. Thanks!
ang👩🦳
It just makes it sturdier somehow. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. Coffee does a great job of fortifying me 😊
Well Cori, I hadn't asked for this process but I'm so glad I watched it! Thankyou for the lesson. You are very good at making it look easy. You must be an amazing Teacher! Thanks again 😊
Thank you and I’m happy it has helped 😊
So informative Cori, thank you for sharing! It’s wonderful how you give different options to obtain the same effect. Your floral embellishments are so pretty and look like pressed flowers.🥰🇨🇦
Thank you Heather 😊
First video of yours was the one after this one and I had to come and check out how you cut and colored the die cut flowers! Wow I had not thought of all these techniques. Thank you so much!
You are welcome and I’m happy to hear you got some ideas 😊
Great tutorial!! I love your attention to detail. Tfs.
Thank you so much!
I am totally in awe of using the tracing paper. They are all awesome ideas though. Thank you so much for sharing your method with us! 🤗💜
Thank you and you know, sharing ideas is just a happy thing :)
Cori, I love your videos! First time watching on a format that allows comments, so I had to drop a note about how fabulous your tutorials are! I’m currently addicted to your lovely needle book and adding every needle I find throughout the house, to it. It has quickly become a chunky monkey! Hope all is well on your end!
Thank you and welcome. I’m doing good, just busy with end-of-school-year work.
Fantastic helpful ideas! Thank you Cori
You're welcome Lenore. I hope the ideas helped!
Thank you, thank you!! I was one of the ones who requested this video and I’m very excited to try all of these techniques. We have the same taste in die cuts ☺️
So many wonderful options with dies! And you are very welcome 😊
Great ideas Cori! Thanks!
Thank you Nancy!
That's such a great idea. I have those dyes from Tim never though to change stems. You are amazing
Thank you so much!
Soo intriguing, new way of using my big shot. Honestly I wondered how you made the flowers w/different stems. I’ve seen other YT’ers where they color the flower and stem but this is just great. I know how I’m spending the rest of my night. Great tutorial!
Happy creating and I hope you enjoy experimenting with mixing and matching your die cut pieces.
Wonderful tip on tracing paper never thought about using tracing paper thank you. Great video thank you so much for sharing I just found your video🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Babr, and I'm glad you found i t useful 😊
Thank you for sharing I'm learning so much ❤❤❤
You’re welcome Tonia and happy learning to you 😊
Awesome tutorial! I have been waiting to see how you make your beautiful flowers. Some of my TH flower stems break off when I try to remove them from the die; your idea of swapping flowers and stems has solved my problem. Your fresh daisy stem is one of my favorites and I love the look of the coffee dyed tracing paper. Thank you, Cori!
Thank you Betty! I think dies and working with die cuts is one of my favorite things about paper crafting. There are so many different ways to make them personal and get the look you’re striving for. Have fun and happy creating!
Thanks. Very helpful!
Such a great video, love the idea of combining the colors. Also I would never think about coffee dying colored paper or how the coffee dye gets when the die-cut is already cut. Thanks a lot for sharing this information.
You’re welcome. The absorbed coffee or tea really gives some interesting variation.
Thanks for sharing all these tips. I don't have all the tools you mentioned, but I will use the ideas you shared with the products I have, especially coffee dying the flowers. ADEBO ☺
I’m a huge fan of using what you have and altering projects to suit your preferences 😊
@@CoriDahmen hey, I tried some coffee died flowers and they came out really cool 😎. I will certainly be doing some more. ADEBO ☺
Very helpful! Thanks. 😃
Great ideas and a really great demonstration tfs
Thank you Ruth 😊
Great info, thanks Cori!
You're welcome!
TFS, have always wanted to do this so maybe I’ll look into this little machine!
I love my little machine and I’ve been told they’re available at Tuesday Morning shops as well.
This video is so helpful!
Thank you Debra, I’m glad it’s useful 😊
Love the video!!
Thank you Pam 😊 I hope you and yours are doing great!
Thank you for this technique video
Great video, friend! You’re amazing! 🥰❤️
You’re amazing my friend! I’m grateful to start my work day with you and I’m inspired so often by your ideas, your charm and your warm heart ❤️
Awesome thanks! Guess I'm playing with my dies tonight!😊
Lol! I hope you had fun with them 😊
I never knew that dying after cutting will create that effect and I love it! But I would think with little, delicate pieces like that, they'd curl up and be a mess to handle.
They can and sometimes do curl up. I use a flat hair iron to straighten them when that happens. I just love the way the coffee or ink color absorbs into the edges of the paper, so I find it worth the extra bit of time 😊
Pls do more videos with die cuts. This was excellent
I love using die cuts so I'll see what I can share. Thank you!
That is such an awesome technique. I’ve only been journaling a little over a year and die cuts and their machines have not been on my buy list yet. One of these days, hopefully, because I just love the look. Thanks Cori for a great demo. 🥰
I found mine on Facebook market place. So got it cheaper and the lady throwing some embossing folders and a few dye cuts to start she was super nice! Just an idea
You are welcome and Norma is absolutely correct. I occasionally see machines at yard sales or thrift shops. It’s a great way to give it a try without making a huge investment.
Thanks Norma. Never thought to check those kind of places because I’m always worried they don’t work well. I’ll have to check it out.
Thankyou Cori........now l want to use mine more,and with the coffee dyed vellum ⭐ love that look ...👏💛
Honestly, I’ve found that coffee dying vellum works best with the thick, heavy weight vellum. The thinner stuff is more translucent, but it warps something fierce when bathed in coffee or tea.
@@CoriDahmen love the heavy vellum.........its got the BEST NOISE,n feel to it lol 😅😅😅
@@isobeldunn9152 lol! Noise and crinkle factor, win!
@@CoriDahmen oooooooooh yeeeeesssssss 😆😆😆😆
An EXCELLENT tutorial. Thank you! I’m an experienced paper crafter, so I understood completely. I have all the supplies I need. As an aside, we can see here how expensive it is to paper-craft. I bought stuff over the years when I could afford it. Luckily. I appreciate you divulging your methods. The tutorial re how dyes work on different types of paper is very helpful. I often go to white paper first, but it’s colored or dyed paper that gives a more realistic dimensional effect. I want to try faded purple. I love how you make flower centers. I now wonder if that technique will work on real pressed flowers. Large flower centers are impossible to press. At least for me. Thank you! Thank you!
PS I subscribed with a 🔔
I'm so happy to hear that you found this helpful. As a long time paper crafter I really enjoy trying to use old products in new and different ways 😊
@@CoriDahmen 💕
BeautifuL ! Thank you 🤗🌈☮️🙏
Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge i follow u i love your work and your Awsome!Thanks 😁👍
Thank you Sue! I hope you enjoy playing with die cut pieces 😊
@@CoriDahmen yes i do thanks was doing scrapbooking while back just started again 👍💗🌹
Love this! I don't have a Big Shot or Sizzix. I do have a ScanNCut. I wonder if I could find SVG pattern files in shapes like those flowers? They are gorgeous.
I would sure think so, and thank you 😊
Great tutorial
Thank you Lee Anne 💕
Wonderful ideas TFS
Thank you 😊
I love those SSS dies. They are next on my list. Thanks for the inspiration. Hope you’re doing well! It’s almost spring break on my side of the country!
We have another month here... the first week of April. Looking forward to some solid creative time... but I’m always happy to go back and be with the kids 😊 I hope you enjoy a wonderful, well-deserved break!
@@CoriDahmen thank you. Right now all I’m seeing are black circles with initials instead of their beautiful faces. Teenagers are so strange. They’re the selfie generation but won’t show their face in class because they’re embarrassed. Go figure. Gotta love them 🖤
@@isabel_journals amen! I’m always grateful for the handful that turn on their cameras and smile at me.
Great tips
Thank you Sherry.
Terrific video! Loved it. Could you show us how you coffee die. Everyone has different techniques.
Have a great day
Sure, I can share that at the end of my next video. I'm going to share the mail slot pocket on Sunday afternoon. Thank you.
Love it
Thank you Mary 💕
When I saw your flowers laying there I thought they were real flowers you dried.
Lol! Just a little fun altering die cut pieces and paper 😊
Me too!!!
And me!
Oh gosh these are so pretty, 🤔i love your cute little die cutting machine
Better get on with it
I must begin my ideas book, I dont have the papers Id like to use the lighter Tim Holtz books ☺️
Id actually love to buy one of your small books but I havent seen any on sale
🇦🇺🌺❤️
Have you considered cutting two or more flower "heads" and gluing the centers together after offsetting (rotating) them to give more dimension to the flower? Just rotate the flower head a bit, glue it and do it again, if you want with a third flower head in the stack for dimension. That would give the light and dark coffee dying more depth to the flowers with light and dark layers.
Thank you, I’ve done several like that, just depending on which flower head it is. One of my favorite things about working with diecut pieces is that they’re so versatile 😊
Hola me encanta su Arte es muy delicado. Abrazos desde Barcelona, España
Hola et much as gracias Nuria 💕
❤🙏🏼🌷 So cool
This is awesome! So much to learn. I just recently got those TH dies so will definitely be cutting some of those. I realize this is from 2 years ago but do you remember which embossing powder you used? I love the little crystals in there. Thank you so much!
I adore that embossing powder and use it all the time. It is Seth Apter Vintage Beeswax baked texture embossing powder. The granules and color variation found in the ep is just excellent. I get mine from SethApter.com
Wow...Thanks for the tutorial! It’s a game changer! Coffee dying the flowers after cutting gives it so much more depth. And it never occurred to me to separate the flowers from the stems. So very clever, Cori! What do you do with the green flower heads that went with the green stems?
I just snip most of that section off and yes, I actually toss them. I generally leave a little bit as a glued base for the replaced flower head. Have fun!
❤❤❤
Hi, Cori! Just watched this video again to see if I missed something about the tracing paper flowers. I tried both of your methods of dying before and after cutting. My flowers all turned out the same. I used the same batch of coffee for sheets of paper and die cut flowers. I prefer your darker tracing paper flower so I wonder where I went wrong. Also, my die cut flowers rolled up and stuck together the minute they hit the coffee bath. I tore off a petal or two trying to unroll a few. Any suggestions?
Thank you! Love your videos. What are the markers you used and the embossing powder? I replayed video several times to see if I could catch brand names, but I couldn’t see it. Thanks in advance for responding ☺️
I’m so sorry for the delay! I saw your response when I got notification of another. I use the Karin ProMarkers for the color and the embossing powder is Seth Apter Vintage Beeswax. I love that stuff! An ink pen/color you have can also work then top the area with clear embossing ink and you can get the same effect.
Fabulous video, tracing paper, who knew?
Right? It’s really great stuff!
Hi, Cori. Hope you're enjoying this summer (2023) so far. I'm rewatching this video for a dose of inspiration (you never fail to do that) and am wondering: what kind of marker are you using before applying the embossing powder? I was hearing 'Keirin" markers, the colosed caption said "Karen" markers. So, before I start a Google search for something that wounds like that, I wondered if you might respond with a spelling. Thanks, Cori.
One of the different types of markers I use for die cut pieces are the Karin Brushmarker Pro series. But truthfully, many types of pens work well, as well as ink pads. Once they're sealed with embossing ink and powder all of them become durable and permanent.
Please, could you put in links to those dies? They are beautiful!
Excellent tutorial. I am looking forward to sitting down and giving your techniques a spin. I have most of the T. Holtz flowers and am interested in the Simon Says one that you have. Do you have a product number by chance or the title of it? Having trouble finding it online.
I’ve made myself a note to look up that information. I’ve had them for a while so I don’t know if Simon Says still has them in stock.
How do you get all your great ideas?! This is genius!
Glad you like them!
Hi again Cori I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the other flowers and where I could get them? I have Tim Holtz ones but the other ones you used in this tutorial I cannot find them anywhere 😞.. I absolutely love the way you mix and match the stems and the way you use them .. thank you so much for sharing.. I believe we only live about 30 minutes from each other that’s so awesome to know that there are other creators near me..🥰
Hi Paula! I got all of my flower dies on Amazon or at Simon Says Stamps. I don’t have the names, but am sure all of my flower dies came from one of those two shops.
Hi, Cori - I couldn't quite see what brand/color embossing powder you were using. Can you please make a recommendation? I love your videos and this is the second time I'm watching this one. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you and sure! I use the Seth Apter Vintage Beeswax
@@CoriDahmen thank you so much!
Thank You. Where did you find the wooden ink pad holder?
Hello! I make those and have them (usually) in my Etsy shop, which is Etsy.com/shop/CreatingWithScraps
I also share how I make them if you or someone you know is handy with power tools.
