It’s sad that some people try to make others feel bad. Let’s appreciate the effort made to make the video in the first place. I enjoyed the video because I just bought a whole bunch of dies, which I love. Haven’t had a chance to cut them yet, love to see what others got. I got the flower pot!
Thank you! I'm hoping to get better at video making soon. I appreciate your kindness. Thanks so much for watching. 🥰❤xx
I loved your video. Love the dies. Appreciate the honest feedback.🤗🤗🤗
I've bought many dies from Temu, have had NO issues with cutting any of them. I want to add that they are selling many of the "Stampin Up", "Anna Griffin", "Tim Holtz", "Heartfelt Creations" and a couple of the other well known companies. I will say I made the mistake of ordering one of their "Anna Griffin" dies and realized I already HAD it and the dies were identical to what Anna Griffin sells. Just a heads up on that one. You just don't get the fancy box, packaging or instructions on assembly of the Anna Griffin dies. Thanks for your video, nice for those who have been hesitant to purchase Temu dies. I've been very happy with all my dies I've purchased from them.
Thanks for doing an honest video. Way too many crafters post how the dies from these places don't work and cut crooked and everything - I've never once had an issue. I had a small bunch of intricate ones that required some extra attention and when I got a Gemini I tried them again and they were perfect. If anyone has an electric die cutting machine, they are amazing!
The big name crafter complain about the Temu dies, however all of their dies are also marked "made in China".
I love it when people show us what the die looks like after it’s cut, it makes a world of difference to know if I would even consider purchasing it. Also, I have a few dies that are easily organized but how do you organize yours because what you just showed us was a huge haul. And that’s not even counting what dies you had before this. Thanks for sharing with us!
I agree it's so much nicer to see what you might be purchasing in paper form. I haven't found the perfect organization yet for my dies. I have been putting them in Plastic shoe boxes, all except for my TH they are kept on a rolling cart. TSMFW XX
May I ask what machine you cut these with?
Michele, I received a die from Temu that wouldn't cut so I sharpened it with foil wrap. Fold the foil in three to four layers, place die with cut side on foil and run through your machine - then run it through again using wax paper or parchment. Give it a try - it worked for me.
Thank you so much for the advice I'll be trying for sure. I appreciate the suggestions. TSMFW 🥰 ❤xx
@@craftyroosmichelesommer5348 If it doesn't work after the first run-through, run it through several times with the foil and then the wax paper.
Thank you so much for taking the time to show us the cutouts of all the dies, it helps so much.
Hey hun, really enjoyed you vid. Temu allows me to be able to afford new art supplies. I'll have my first haul, it's been years since I have bought supplies due to medical issues. I can't wait when my orders gets here this week. I treated myself and wow did I spend money. Thank You for sharing!
Thanks for your review on these dies. I've purchased a lot of them and have not had time to try them out, so I'm glad they are working out so well. I appreciate the time you took to show these to us.
Well thank you new friend! I hope that you have had a chance to play with yours soon. Thanks so much for stopping. By. XX P.S. I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
I am ordering all of my cutting dies from Temu. You can’t beat the price and the quality that I have found with all the ones that I got have been perfect. Nice clean cuts.
And I have found a lot of stampin up dies and stamps I got one set foe $10 aud instead of nearly $100 from stampin up.
Thank you so much for the reviews! It's the only kind of Temu video I'm interested in watching! So appreciated!
Thank you! And your most welcome. TSMFW 🥰 ❤xx
All the dies I purchased from TEMU work perfectly and I’m very happy with them, the beads have been great quality as is the lace, buttons and anything else I have purchased. I have also spoken to the director of a international large craft die company and asked did they know their branding and packaging was being used on temu and he informed me the company has the dies made in China by this temu affiliate and they are supposed to destroy the excess but when they don’t there is nothing they can do to stop it. My question to him was if they make it for your company and you sell it to me for $48.00+ why should I give you my money when I can buy the exact same thing for $3 on Temu. I have also stopped following craft influencers due to their bullying of Temu clients.
Thanks for sharing everything. I’m happy I ran across you sight. Love that you are pleased with most of the dies. I will look for some of them. 😊 blessings
Thank you, this is a great video for someone new like me who has been considering trying these out! I get a lot of crafting and scrapbooking supplies from Temu and they've all been great, so far! I'm excited to give this a go, I just have to figure out what size and type of machine to get lol
I've bought many dies from Temu and over been very happy with them until the last one I bought. At first i didn't know what was wrong, but looking at the die I found that there were parts of it that were not properly cut through. It was a very intricate die and just had areas that were manufactured badly. I contacted Temu and they were very easy to work with. I got an immediate refund and was told to keep the die or donate it if I like. I thought that was very nice. It won't deter me from continuing to buy more dies from them. I also bought the mini cutting machine and it's fabulous.
Thank you I was wondering about return issues great post
Hi, what mini die cutting machine did you get? I have been wanting one, but I was waiting to hear from someone who purchased it.
I have a few, I have sixxix sidekick and also sixxix Big shot and a Gemini. I really like them all. I would suggest something bigger than the side kick though as it will only cut out very small dies. TSMFW 🙂
@@craftyroosmichelesommer5348 I believe this is the first time I have seen your video. Thanks for letting people know that Temu is a reputable company. Not every item is free from defects, but they do take care of the customers. I have subscribed to your channel and can't wait to watch more of videos!! Thanks for sharing and your honesty!!
I enjoyed this video...thank you for showing how these dies cut and they're fantastic. Looking forward to doing my very first Temu haul now and of course it'll be for the dies. Happy crafting, oh, I HAD to subscribe to your channel. You have a great disposition and was honest about the dies and I thank you for that.
You can always use an impressions pad with the die cuts that don’t cut all the way through for a beautiful textured look. It’s embossing but using your cutting dies instead.
Absolutely loved watching this video 😊
Thank you for taking the time to cut all of the dies. Your advice was very helpful.
I have purchased so many dies and stamps from Temu and have had no issues. Now I’m addicted to this site!
OMGOODNESS the addiction is real! TSMFW XX P.S. I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
I agree with your comment regarding addiction! I had to swear off visiting them as RECEIVING the goodies became more important than DOing anything with them!!
I really appreciate your candor with your descriptions… I got some of the same ones as you and haven’t used them yet. So nice to have some good reviews! Thank you
Well Thank you friend and thank you for stopping by. Hope you have fun playing with yours. XX I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Thank you! I had never heard of Temu until today. I loved your product reviews!
Thank you for taking all the time to cut all these designs. You have helped me make some decisions about which die to buy..
You are most welcome! I'm so glad this was helpful 🙂.
Thankyou so much, what a lovely lot of dies, so pleased that you found them to be so good as I’m about to get some…wish you better with your allergies..
*Hi Michele I'm your 5th Thumbs up. The good news about that die not cutting you can put ink on it & use it like a stamper. Also, you can use it as a Stencil. Seems like their small ones cut Great. This was a Great Share my friend. 😍😍😍* Sharon in SC
Thank you friend. Almost have your package ready to go! Love you.
@@craftyroosmichelesommer5348 💞💞💞
Thank you for sharing. I liked the candor of what works and didnt.Very informative. On some I purchased were the same you had difficulties with.
Thank you for your time in putting the video together❤ ❤❤
You are most welcome. There are a lot of ideas that were shared with me in the comments above since making this video I will giving them a shot. TSMFW XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Thanks for your time and review. Just bought a sizzix & some dies from a local store. They didn't fit or work properly through the machine. Was so frustrated. Now I'll check out temu...& stay with your channel😊
That train die❤❤❤those nesting dies are great. Look at that mouse❤❤❤ that gate is gorgeous. Maybe you can add 1-2 piece of paper to give a little more pressure. Absolutely love the versatility of all the different dies you picked. The mermaid looks so great size. Love the bicycle too and the torn tag set. Always yes for box dies. You got lots of bow die set. Tfs and your honest opinion
Friend I'm so thrilled! I just love that I was able to pick up so many dies for sure. The prices were just so amazing. I'm so excited for sure. Thanks so much for always being such a huge supporter!
Thanks for sharing the cut dies! Your fantastic!!
I'm so glad I watched this! At least 3 of the dies you showed I had removed from my cart because I thought they would be "meh". However, having SEEN them, adding them back in! Thanks for the video!
So happy I could change your mind! Hope you have as much fun with them as I do. TSMFW
Hi, it may just been defective because I bought it and it worked fine, as did all the other dies I have bought. 😊
I'm glad they are working so well for you. I had only had 4/10 work. I tried two different weights of cardstock, different shims and multiple passes. I'm going to hang on to them for now and keep trying but I'm a little disappointed. I am glad they were so cheap it's not a big loss.
That would be so disappointing. I hope that you will be able to get them to work. I really had good luck there were only a few that i couldn't get to work. They really are a great price but no price is good if you can't get them to work. I used a sizzix Big Shot. TSMFW xx
I just received my ordered haven’t tried my dies yet. Only bought a few, nice to see you try yours first. TYFS!!
I love mine! I think you'll be pleased as well.
Sister! ❤ you got some amazing dies! Can’t wait to see your creations!! Xoxo
Me neither 🤣🤣
@@craftyroosmichelesommer5348 🤣😂🤣😂
Thank you I’ve just received a few dies from Temu hope they work as well as most of yours
So many nice Dies and many with nice intricate images. Thanks for the review.
You are most welcome. Thank you as always friend!
Thanks for the review. Very helpful!
Great review Michelle. I love the rose, angel, mouse, ok I loved them all. Lol Guess I’m going to have to go shopping on Temu.
I'm really loving TEMU! Thanks so much for watching.
I bought the generic mini die cutter; it's probably around $20. It's works great. They also sell replacement plates for around $5. However, if you use a thick vinyl piece the same size as the cutting plates in your sandwich you won't ever need new plates - quite literally. That's the case with large cutters as well. In over two years my players are perfect. They never bend and wrap and they never get cut into by the dies.
Wow, that's nice to know. TSMFS 😊❤️xx
Thank you for your video on testing your dies from Temu. I can’t use them yet as they don’t supply to the UK at the moment but all reviews about buying crafty things from Temu are very helpful. 👍🙂
You are most welcome. So sorry to hear they are not in UK yet. I hope they make it your way soon TEMU has fun products at such amazing products. TSMFW XX P.S. I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
if you get a magic mat it will save you on the acrylic cutting mats and they don't crack and break and you can clean them to get them back to new, Maybe the ones you had issues will cut better. yes I have fell down the temu rabbit hole and landed in a wonder land.
Thanks for the review on the dies! I’ve been wondering.
They really impressed me!
Thank You for sharing your experience with us 🎉
Thank you for watching!
thanks - i also order dies from temu & while most work great the more detailed ones i usually have difficulty with in that they don’t cut well enough . but this was helpful for sure . thanks for sharing !
You are most welcome. If you haven't checked out some of the other comments here people have been suggesting some great ideas to possibly help. Maybe something might work for you as well. TSMFW XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Thank you! I have ordered a few and after seeing yours I will order more :)
Oh Yay I am a true influencer LOL. I hope that you have so much fun with your dies. It's an addiction but so very fun. TSMFW XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Thank you for the video, I also purchased dies from Temu and they cut great.
You are most welcome! That's awesome, they have such great prices for us crafters. TSMFW XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
I didn't think about trying my dies😮😂 I hope my x one works! Great haul😊
Thank you! I'm sure you'll have good luck with most all of them. TSMFW 🥰 ❤xx
@@craftyroosmichelesommer5348 I hope so! I haven't checked them yet. Lol
Have you tried putting the difficult dies under your paper instead of on top? That helps a lot, especially with intricate dies🙂
I purchased a number of dies from Team also, and most of them cut perfectly, as yours did. I did order one die set with a multi-heart die, that would not cut completely. I tried using different shims with no success until I saw a video where she used a sheet of bubble wrap under the cardstock. That worked! One thing to be careful about with Temu stamp and die sets is to be sure you order both the stamp set and the dies together, from the same seller. Otherwise the stamps may be smaller than the original, and dies from another seller may not fit those stamps. Thanks for sharing your video, it is helpful to see the dies in action.
Love that angel and the background dies that did work, and all the cute bows. Too bad about that one background die and the music wreath, but maybe the foil trick someone mentioned below will work. TFS
I'll be trying the foil and wax paper. I really hope it works as I really love the designs. TSMFW 🥰 ❤xx
The weave background die that you are having trouble with, you might want to try cutting a piece of wax paper and putting it under your cardstock. That's what I do with detail dies. Also I have to try to use other die cutting machines. My Cuttlebug has some trouble with certain dies so I run the dies through my We R Memory keepers Evolution die cutting machine. It has a magnetic plate and does a really good job. I still put wax paper under the carstock on detail dies. Sometimes I use my Sizzix Big Shot machine. I've had some trouble with a few of the background dies that I bought from TEMU and off of Ali Express.
I will definately give that a try. I will be trying another machine as well. I really love the design and hope to get it to work. Thank you so much for sharing options, I appreciate that so much. 🥰❤xx
The die you cut several times on different weight papers I bought from Temu and it cuts clean . I think you probably got a deffective one..
Great review, thank you.
You are most welcome and Thank you so much for watching. XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
I have been crafting over 24years and when dies first came out they were so expensive, I can remember my first die set was over £100:00 pounds and now the prices are amazing thank you for sharing 🇬🇧
Oh dear lord, that's a crazy high price. It's wonderful that they have become so reasonable that way we can have a much better selection. Thanks so much for stopping by. XX I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Thank you for showing us the cut image.

Thanks for sharing how they worked out! I'm glad it's like butta! I love the botanicals and the banner! What die cut machine do you use? I'm late to the whole diecut scene - but diecuts are so awesome for projects. 🙂❤
I have a few different machine but I was using the sizzix Big Shot for these. I was so super impressed with the way they cut.
Thanks for sharing!
TSMFW
its nice to see a product video that is NOT sponsored by the company.
thank you!
regarding the scallop coverplate die that you mention at the end that you are going to keep trying to see if you can get it to cut...
did you figure it out?
my suggestion was to put an additional small shim only on the areas that were not cutting out. i was thinking that if there was a
slight warp in any of the moving parts, this would help counteract it...
i'd love to hear if you managed to figure it out or if you simply put it in a pile for later when you have the patience! lol
i'm expecting my order next week. i did show some restraint. my friend was putting in the order so i couldn't possibly order EVERYTHING!
it just wouldn't look right!
🤣
I am obsessed with the cut dies. I have bought some but have many more coming. ❤❤
The obsession is real. Hope you have tons of fun playing with tehm! TSMFS XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
I don't know about where you are all from, but in Scotland we are being seriously warned about this site! massively warned about it.....just saying, and please go and search for your nearest local bee farm and buy their organic Honey, it should help your hayfever No End 😉👌
Unfortunately, I think too many people are taken in by the cheap prices and do absolutely no research on this company or Schein or Wish. The warnings are there.
try wax paper for the ones that didnt cut .. i use that trick when i am having trouble with dies .. just a thought .. great video ty for sharing it
Definitely I will do try that. TSMFW
Now I know I'll be ordering dies from Temu!!!
I hear their delivery times are taking a bit longer now that so many people are using them but, it would still be worth the wait in my opinion.
Great video 🎉
Thank you and Thank you for watching!
I never done this so what machine are you using?
Tfs! If you're interested in getting that die cut that just won't cut? I suggest using a magnetic shim or a metal shim or finally a metal thin butter knife or spatula! 😅 sometimes it just takes a little bit more effort even with expensive name brand dies!
Thank you for that tip. I ordered some and just received them as the ones I had for my Gemini were shot. I agree about it even be a problem sometimes with expensive dies as well. For the most part these were all really easy to use. TSMFW XX Just subbed to your channel and can't wait to watch your videos!
Gemini and metal shim works on all the dies I've got 100's fron Temu no issues
Michele beautiful die’s and examples ❤❤❤❤
Thank you always friend!
Enjoyed your video! Thank you 🌻

I love die cutting, tomorrow I will be cutting flowers to put together. I have a Temu and Ali express order ready to go this next payday. I can’t wait. Im looking for lace flower dies and lace butterflies and doilies maybe a few background dies
Oh what fun! I hope that the flowers came out beautifully. Omgoodness you are jumping into the rabbit hole. Have fun, but remember it's addicting LOL. TSMFW XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
@@craftyroosmichelesommer5348 they are lovely
I understand wanting to save money on craft supplies. But, just beware that at least some of their designs are copyright infringements on US designers.
Thank you for that info.
Temu have good dies pretty to wouldnt matter u broke any because there cheap to buy
Great die cuts .. love the little mice ones .. so cute .. I'm loving My die cuts from Temu too .. Thank You for sharing Your review of the dies 🙂
They are so much fun aren't they? TSMFW
You need to get the little rotation brush with the foam bottom to push the tiny pieces out. Be sure you have the sharp side down.w maybe you need another sheet to put on top. Good luck.
Thank so much for mentioning that. I need to find where I put that tool! Thanks so much for watching and I just subbed to your channel in the event you might do videos someday too. TSMFW XX
Try placing your lattice die with the blade side of the die up. No idea why but with some detailed dies this works.
Wonderful idea friend! I'll try that for sure. TSMFW and also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Im sure youve tried everything to get the naughty dies to work, but two things I find help are putting small card shims on the bad area only. Also putting the die inside a punch pocket before cutting. Good luck
I tried the shims but I am not sure what a punch pocket is. I ordered new plates for my GEMINI which I'm going to try next, TSMFW XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Very difficult to resist purchasing at such low prices. Mostly satisfied with the stamps and dies. Have to say that the sentiments have given me some grief. Stamping words is just not crisp and clear. The bigger the font the better it does stamp. I have had a problem with a couple mathching dies to cut out stamps, they didn't line up, actually one set was way off. Never had issues compared to more expensive stamps & matching dies sets. Thought it might be user error but.. no I dont think so. For stamps & dies that i might only use once for a card the price is unbeatable. Thanks for your video.
Thank you for your comment. I agree the prices are amazing. I will have to watch for that. I still haven't had a chance to test mine but hope to soon. TSMFW
Loved your video, but would like to see how you cut them
Thank you and I used a sizzix Big Shot. I will try to do a video soon using it. TSMFW xx
Very informative and comprehensive video. What machine did you use?
Thank you so much and Thank you for watching. I used my Sizzix Big Shot. I will be trying my Gemini for the ones that didn't cut so well. TSMFW P.S. I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
The third one did the same thing for me. I could not get the die to cut
Thanks for cutting out the Temu dies so we could see how the cut looked. Great video.
Thank you!
To sharpen blunt dies, try making a thick pad of kitchen foil and cut it using the blunt die - run it through a few times - it should sharpen the die
Thank you I will definitely keep that in mind. TSMFW XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Will the craft buddy die cutting machine they sell on temu work for those dies?
I'm not sure. I don't that one. I'm going to try a couple others things to see if I can get it to work. TSMFW 🥰 ❤xx
Try wax paper on the cutting side with the problem die.
I have a cuttlebug machine when do you use the metal plate?
I had to look that up. I wanted to make sure my answer would have been right. Please watch this link, I think it will be helpful. ua-cam.com/video/hH_pH5zTvLM/v-deo.html Thanks so much for watching. 🥰❤️
FYI…me, too on the allergies!!! Sneezing like crazy today
So sorry to hear that friend. It's just no fun. I hope you are able to find some relief.
You also can return them. No problem, no shipping charges, and a return of your money.
Nice to know. Thanks for sharing that info. XX
What do you use with the dies to cut?
I use a sizzix Big Shot or my small sizzix side kick
What do you use to glue these items now to the card
Sorry for the late reply new friend. I use bearly arts glue or art glitter glue. I really think any glue you might have handy would work just apply with a light hand, I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
Thank you kindly for your replies. Very helpful especially on the metal plate question. Thanks 👍🌴

TO ANYONE HAVING DIE CUT’g ISSUES, check out SHARON LUSKA’s y.t. video titled (something like … ) “the die cutting hack that fixes everything.”. I’ve used her technique for most of two years and can attest to the veracity of her idea. I will say I have not tried the vinyl she has researched, for I’ve had sufficient success using the JoAnn’s thicker vinyl version sold in their upholstery area. Btw, I have NO RELATIONSHIP with MS. LUSKA, but I DO sing her praises every time die cutting comes up, as my plates have NOT warped, are no more marred than when I began this technique, and the “SANDWICH” I’m able to use is easier both on my BigShot machine AND MY SHOULDERS!!
What kind of die cut machine do you have?
I used my Sizzix Big Shot for this video and my sizzix sidekick for the smaller dies. I will be using my Gemini for the ones I struggled with next. TSMFW XX also You are most welcome and Thank you so much for watching. XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
First, wen you do your review if it's defective choose to return it. They will give you a choice of a refund and send the die back or, keep them and they will give you a credit.
Second, for the tag that opens on the wrong side try this, open it up and place it between your cutting plates and roll it thru your die cut machine. This should get gid of the little edge and then fold it the way you want.
Use wax paper before cutting your your cardstock
I run dies that don’t cut nice upside down. (Cutting side up)
Thank you will be trying this for sure. TSMFW XX also You are most welcome and Thank you so much for watching. XX also I subbed to your channel just in case you ever decide to do videos too!
