Love this as I don't want to invest in yet another machine as I don't have the storage space 😊
This is such a great idea. I think this is great for people like me who din’t want to invest in another machine that might only be used once in a while. These are beautiful. Thanks Lou, I am loving these videos.
Thank you so much Lou I really really enjoyed and appreciate watching you create those amazing and awesome prints from dies. I really really love ❤️ the effects it gives too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for another very useful, pretty technique using what I have!! 🧑🏼🎨😀
I have never seen this before. Thank you for sharting.
Wow Lou. How fun is this. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
I love these types of videos. They're a great way to try out a technique before investing the money in the machine. Tyfs!
Wonderful demonstration, very clear instructions. I will try this technique now. Thank you for your excellent video.
Great idea & love the effects, especially with the first one. Thanks for sharing, Lou, really loving your tutorials 🤩
Another great technique for me to try.
Fabulous technique x
I’m going to give this a try, thanks for showing us.
Hi Lou. What a lovely technique. Thank you for sharing it. I’ve done this many times with an embossing folder and ink, but never thought of trying it with dies. An old mouse mat works well for the rubber mat. Crafty hugs - Dawn 🌅
I am going to try this with some of my dies! What fun I’m going to have! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much. Excellent video, Lou. I will definitely give this a try!
Gorgeous! TFS
Loving this, never seen it before Lou x
Awesome❣️Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Lou. I haven't seen this before but am anxious to give it a try. Loved your foil technique without a machine as well. Thanks for all your help and inspiration. Awesome!😊❤
Lovely 😊
I have the machine on order and am 'jones-ing' to get started. This video helps! Thanks!
Brilliant.
I live this thank you
Very nice, I must ry.
A go press and foil machine also works with shims,letterpress paper or watercolor paper
Love this
love this!
Thanks Lou! I have a number of detailed dies which require a lot of thought going into the sandwich and some turning to make them cut properly. And I am not talking AE copies. I believe you just had me find the perfect use for these! Some of them are circular layered dies where the background is rather busy and won't cut too well. I can think of wonderful combos here.
Also for the paper weight: Jennifer McGuire had a video on not too long ago where she adhered two layers of card together so the applied cutting die wouldn't cut all the way through. That might be a good solution if people don't have 250 g/m² or more at hand, like me. I have 240 max, and usually in colors either boring or garish, but hardly any white/off-white ;-). I will dive right into a play session, thanks for the inspiration!
Need to try this
Super
Thank you! I am obsessed with the letterpress look!
Wow thank you so much for sharing it's brilliant 😊❤
Great tutorial Lou. I didn't know what letter pressing was until I saw this. It's a lovely technique, I doubt I'd need a special machine my Sizzix will do nicely x
I so agree! I am lucky enough to be able to afford the "machine", but so do not want to buy special paper, inks, and dies, keeping them all organized.
I have not yet pulled half of the potential of the cutting dies, inks and papers I already own. Great videos like these keep us in check.
Wow! Another great video tutorial explained so well. Thank you! 😀
Loving your technique videos. Thanks Lou x
I didn't know that you could do a letterpress technique with the dies, what a great idea. Thanks for sharing xx
Fantastic technique Lou, thank you. Will the embossing mats be ok in the big shot plus?xx
Yes absolutely!
@@LouCollins thank you 😊 xx
