    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.

    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 🌅

    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!

    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

    • @minikraut
      @minikraut Рік тому +1

      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.
