I love this machine I’ve had it foreverrrrr 💗 it’s such a great tool that really goes unnoticed with crafters
I bought it off of HSN lmbo they sold me when everyone was into making bday banners etc 🙊
I am on Amazon now lol it is my birthday soon and my son wants to get this for me. I am thinking about it because the refills are expensive and I cannot tell how much comes in on refill.
It was one of the very first tools I bought when I began scrapbooking nearly 20 yrs ago! Another great find for those intricate dies is the Elizabeth Craft Design’s double sided sticker sheets where I will stick my paper/cardstock on and then run through the die cut machines. This way, adhesive is applied even before the die cut is created. It’s a game changer!
kdub1314 i have some sticker sheets from
Hobby lobby but lost them somewhere in my craft room😂😂was always wondering if the adhesive would get stuck to the cutting dies
kdub1314 , what a BRILLIANT idea!!
I SWEAR by Elizabeth Craft tape. Do you think with using that tape there is a need for this or wait to purchase until I use my entire roll? @kdub1314
Craftpurge I ordered some from scrapbook.com because they had a great sale and I haven’t had any problems with it in the die cutter.
I've had this for a couple years. I did not know the trick to get the sticky off the front and sides. Game changer! Thank you for sharing😘
These come in 2 inch sizes as well, have used these for over 10 yrs. Can’t craft without it!!!! Glad you discovered this...
I LOVE how excited you are about this because I was WAY excited too when I got mine!!! I use it for anything that I possibly can... I've even used it to create my own wrapping paper! You'll definitely find your own ways over time to maximize the rolls, like you could have put the the "Y" in the middle of the white frame to maximize that piece! It all comes with time! DEFINITELY one of my favorites for crafting! Have fun!
Rebecca Chevalier i bought a smaller one for words! The 1.5”🙌🏻🙌🏻
My grand-kids love this sticker maker. they make me pull out the sidekick and the small xyron and it's time to make dies and stickers😂 enjoy your new toy. 🙌
madstamper64 aka 4theloveofcrafts hha i dont blame em! So easy and fun
I have had one in top of my closet for about 10 years. Got it when my grandson started pre kindergarten, for projects, think my daughter used it to label his things, and I recently took it down, looked it over and not being sure what to do with it, I put it back in closet where it still sits, but tomorrow it will have a new home on my desk!, thanks for showing this! I have some thin word dues like yours and this should be just what I need. Thanks for sharing your video!
Jo B yay! Yes start using it haha one of my favorite tools now yay
I am glad you discovered the Xyron machine. I have the 9 inch one with a 5 inch insert and wish I had gotten the 5” with the 3” insert. But, yes. It is great for die cuts. I also use the 1.5” individual one.
Been using this for 20 years! Glad you discovered something great to help you craft. Have fun!
So happy for you! I love my xyron too. I have the one you have and the little x. I used to have the 5” but couldn’t resist having the option of 2 sizes, so I gifted the old one to my future daughter in law. I highly recommend getting the little x also, super handy. Don’t forget to use coupons when you need refills because they can be pricey! Enjoy!
emptynestscrapper yes i totally want the little one for smaller projects🙌🏻🙌🏻😍
I have had a Xyron for years and have always had the residue left behind. I am so happy I came across your channel to see how to properly use it. Thank you very much.
YEAH!! It is time to play. I had totally forgotten had I had a large a Xyron maker for years as well with a few replacement cartridges also, until just now when you made this post Thank You MY SCRAPYARD!
I had gotten a tiny one back in 1990 or so. Loved it! Thank you for sharing!
I have had the 9” and the 1.5” machines for many years. I prefer the 9” because I like to run sheets of cardstock thru and then die cut. This prevents you having to burnish the diecut and you don’t have the excess glue in the intricate areas (sticky parts in the nooks and crannies). Works fabulously for intricate dies and when you layer diecuts!
bunnie800 oh great idea!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻
This is a wonderful tool, I have several refill sizes, I had bought the largest & smallest one. It’s like a piece of heaven on earth for gluing on die cuts & works great with vellum!
Maria Nyce ahhah right i cant wait to try vellum too😍😍
Definitely useful! I have the large one and the little X (it may be older than my kid! LOL) The little one is a lifesaver but finding refills is a pain for me. One thing I love to use it for is inserting dies upside down if I want to add glitter to the front (easy peasy!) The larger one also comes with magnet and laminating cartridges. They are great, but to clean adhesive off of most papers, a rubber eraser is invaluable! They get rid of most bad glue messes. I highly recommend them!
PaintsandGlitter oh great idea with the glitter 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻i just got a glue eraser havent used it on paper yet😂🙌🏻
This is one of the things I gone put on my birthdaywishes.Thanks for showing. Nice weekend
I got the same one and a set of the disposable ones from HSN last month. I had the same issue with small dies, my hands shake or I squeezed the glue too hard and a huge blob comes out. I’m glad you showed that trick with the plastic cover sheet!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Flower GemsGirl hha yes me too even with needle nose tip it will still ooze glue
One of the things I like best is the fact that the adhesive doesn't show through vellum! I only have the tiny one, but I have used it so much! I love it.
ooo good to know i didnt even think about vellum
WOWEE! What a finde! This is INCREDIBLE! YAY for skipping directions and JUMPIN’ IN to use it! SO HAPPY FOR THE SHARE! HAPPY CREATIN’! :-)
I bought the Xyron sticker maker when it first came out and it is still in use. I love coming to UA-cam and seeing how others use their craft items, it always amazes me at the inginuity of craft tools and crafty folks.
Yes, Zyron is great. I have several sizes that I’ve used over the years. Super easy too use. Double sided adhesive and running it through your die cut machine is great too!
I have had Xyron’s for years and love them!!! I just use my finger instead of a bone folder and run around the edges so that the adhesive sticks to the plastic. I have never needed to press down the die cut itself.
Sandra Hazen good tip thanks!
Good tips - I have the little Xron but didn't know what you taught . Thanks!
Been using xyron for years now. Started with the X, then got the 5-inch green creative station, and recently got the dot tape runner. Fantastic product.
I have the smallest Xyron - love it, didn't know about using the top layer to remove the the inside bits of sticky. Great tip!! Thanks so much.
I've never had one of these. You have inspired me to get one. I love your videos. :) Diana.
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! Ok, this is the BEST tutorial video I’m seen in a long time. That instrument is going to be SOOO helpful. A big THANK YOU for doing this video. Take Care. ~Barbara
I started with the little X Xyron and graduated to a 5" one. You can even sticky a small panel then die cut. Easier than an adhesive sheet or wide double-sided tape.
My comment about reading directions was in no way an insult! I made many a mistake after reading the directions many yrs ago. I'm glad you enjoy this machine as you will find many uses for it and find out how to get the most for your $$$. I found your video enjoyable and honest.
I have the 11/2 inch one that came out about 10 yrs ago! Still works but rolls not as sticky as they were when new! Need to order more! You are right, it’s perfect for words! Enjoy your 5incher, I might get that one! Tyfs 🤗👏🏼👏🏼
I’m glad I watched this, because I forgot I bought one a year or two ago, and forgot about using it! Just in time for Christmas card making! Thanks! Great job!
OMGOSH...... I LOVE YOU.... You are Super Funny & you do things like me Play & learn that's how I roll!!! I NEVER....READ.... Love how detailed you are in showing & tell everything we need to know. You're So Much Fun to listen to & watch. Keep the videos coming girl you're bringing smiles & laughter's to our days!!! 💖💖💖💯💯💯🤗🤗🤗
I have the 9", 5", and 4 of the 1.5" machines! I have been using them for 20 years or more. The sticky is actually on the waxy side and the excess goes onto the clear side. Balling up the clear sheet is the best way to pull up any excess still on your diecut. Just be mindful of which side you are putting down because that is the side that will get sticking (especially in using the 1.5" one). Scrapbooking and card making have become fun again once you find Xyron! Also the cartridges come in prepositional or permanent adhesive for most sizes. Enjoy!!
Tosses User Guide = Brave Woman. Congrats on new toys!
Yes it's a great tool to have. I have both the small and the larger one. Awesome review. Tfs. Happy crafting!
The Xyron machine is awesome. I have both sizes. It's such a great tool. The only thing I don't like is the little buggers, but you can just brush them off.
OMG! I had a 3" cartridge and didn't know I how to use it in the machine. Thank you for showing that.
I love my xyron! Also wanted to give you a tip for small pieces that I use all the time....when I have something that is hard to glue-I put glue on the back of my hand and dab the thing onto it. Works great!
I have the X and love it! I didn’t know about doing the ball trick? Great tip! Thanks
I have had one for years. But have been out of the sticky tape for a good while. Your video is a reminder to get some. Thanks for sharing!
MamawCindy 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thank you for this review! I haven’t used mine much because of the sticky residue problem, but now I have several helpful suggestions to deal with it! And I learn much more quickly from videos. 😊
I sincerely appreciate all these sticker making ideas! I've had one of the small "x" sticker makers and haven't used it yet. You've given me the help I needed to give it a try. Thank you all so very much!!!
Oh ya, the Xyrons are awesome! total love! I am glad you are enjoying this!
The gluing mess in the beginning made me chuckle in sympathy! So true! Very helpful video. Thank you.
Oh my gosh. Have mine tucked away for years. And had the same reaction when I first tried mine. Don’t know why I stopped using it! I got many of the different inserts when you could still get them at Micheals or JoAnn’s with coupons. I wasn’t even sure if the replacement cartridges were still available! Thanks for making me go digging mine out and rediscovering how useful it is. Yay!
Diana Nutt yay🙌🏻🙌🏻🎉
Oh, thank you so much for showing the trick about using the plastic to get off the excess glue! I was ready to never use my Zyron again, because the excess glue ruined my Easter projects. I am anxious to try it your way now! TFS!
Amy T oh no🙈😭hopefully this trick works better for you🙌🏻🙌🏻
Ok…so I’m late to the party, but just ordered mine! Thanks for sharing this video!!!
Hi I have one and a hand held one. Had it for years. Love it
I love Xyron products! I’ve got them all! Makes things so much simpler! Especially letters and words.
USA. I was nervous when you didn't read the instructions! Using the ball of the sticky cover sheet is a great tip!
Just came back from Hobby Lobby w/ my 2.5 inch sticker maker. I have the large Creative station. Also have the very small X. They are great!
To get those sticky pieces off completely I use the small end of a scoring trace around the image before removing the clear plastic. Works like a charm.
I am so glad someone is mentioning this product. I have used Xyrons for years. It’s a must in my craft room and when I go on scrapbooking retreats.
It is even easier if you put your card stock thru your sticker maker first and then die cut it. No sticky issues and even less waste because you can use the negative space for other small dies. That is my favorite way of using my sicker maker.
thanks for the tip!
Iam Scrappy genius!!
That’s how I use it too!
A little tip for if you put something sticky down using the Xyron, Score tape, tape runners etc and you need to move it and it's down pretty good. Use your heat gun to heat it up section by section and gently lift it up. Most of the time you can set it back down. Sometimes you many need to add more adhesive. This doesn't work with glue only tape or sticky type of adhesives.
Spray adhesive works great for intricate die cuts and just tack it down with a little glue and certain areas used it for years absolutely no problem the xyron machine that looks interesting have to look into getting one of them
Mary Lasere ive never tried spray adhesive 🙌🏻
The best spray adhesive I found so far is by 3M it is in a gray can and black lid and black lettering it says general purpose 45 all the other kinds I tried do not work as well but the 3M brand is great I hope this helps you in future crafting you can find it at Home Depot or Lowe's
Oh I hope you can help me! I used spray adhesive and it got all over the front of the die. I tried laying it down on paper first before spraying it, and that didn’t work. How do you do it?
I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience first you want to die cut your paper take it out of the die you no longer need your die now take the die cut piece of paper put it onto another piece of paper or newspaper is better it's wider make sure the top part that shows on your card or project is facing down you want to spray only the back part of the die cut that way it adheres to the paper when you flip it over and put it on your project
Just make sure to always take the paper that you just die cut into whatever shape that you take it out of the die and then take the die cut paper top part facing down and always spray the back part you'll do just fine I'm sorry I didn't explain it better for you I hope this helps hun have a great day if you have anymore questions feel free to contact me
I have one of the old ones. Need to pull it back out. If you put a bunch of what you need together, you can have them in a file. Memories of old days. Updated !!! Thanks for sharing and reminder!
I have an old one, but your tips make me want to dig it out and try it again. Thanks.
Me too! I have one of the big, old ones, and not too long ago I looked at it and thought "should I get rid of it?" Guess this is the universe's way of telling me "Nope!" LOL!
I loved your share and your excitement over your new Xyron Machine!! Oh I've been a BIG Xyron fan from the get to...have had their machines from the 9", 5", 3" & the X .and I could not live with my Xyrons!! I only buy the repositionable tho because I am a scrapper and don't like using the permanent!! I am equally excited for you and anyone whose been on the fence about getting a Xyron ...well after watching your video they'll be grabbing Xyrons up BIG time!! You totally gave a Spectacular Presentation and demonstration...I hope Xyron see your Video!!!! Everything you created using your Xyron is Awesome...you so did a Super Incredible Creative job!! Oh I'm a Visual Learner too....Thank goodness for You Tube, QVC crafts back in the day and HSN for visual learning videos and live presentations!! YOU SO ROCK!!
Joan Smith
I have the small one that shaped like an X, I’ve had it since I started paper crafting about 3 years ago! I know Eny gots one and uses it too! Great buy and TFS!! Crafty hugs ❤️🤗!!
I have the 1st one from 20 + years ago. I have purchased I think each size they make. I love all my machines. It does help if you read the directions and only takes a minute to read them, and you might be able to use the tips they give you.
Sondra Moorman all my comments gave me tips💕thanks tho
Used this one and the small X for years. Can’t live without them. Much better than glue.
Oh my goodness, I need this! Thanks for sharing!!❤
Oh my goodness! You could be my daughter!! I take it out of the box, figure it out myself, try it out. If it works, I’m happy.
Maybe a day/month/week later, I check the instructions that came with it - or watch a UA-cam how to - and learn some “new” (to me) tricks.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
T&L's Nana hehe yep ill go to yt if i cant figure it out😂😂
Thanks for the video! You've reminded me of how great the Xyron machines are to use. I'm into Junk Journals now and this is going to be great to use in a lot of those projects.
They make things into stickers! Yep great little machine. I have a small one and large.
Oh My Gosh! You have just learned about these?! They are awesome, use mine all the time. My Dad bought me the original 9" one, about 25 years ago! Since then, I have gotten three more different sizes....... Enjoy using yours! Although, I use the bone folder on the back of the die cut. Plus, use a tiny embossing tool, to go around the edges, to get rid of the extra "stickies." I think using the wadded up leftovers to get rid of the "stickies," looks practical too.
hahaah right im so out of the loop!! whats a tiny embossing tool??
@@Craftpurge love yoyr review. The embossing tool is a 'pen ' like tool with a round ball on each end. The balls are different sizes that originally were used for vellum work (parchment craft) Hope this gelps
Veronica c perfect yes thank u makes sense!
I have several sizes of the xyron and love them. I need to use them more. Thanks for your video to inspire me.
Lol, so glad you came across it !. It truly is amazing ❤️
I love it. I purchased the larger one. Wonderful tool
Love my Xyrons I have the 9 inch 5 inch that takes the 3 inch also and the x ones that are one inch wide had them for many years welcome to the family read the directions lol
Mary Ellen hahahah ughhhh directionnnsas
I’ve been using these for years, great for ribbon too, especially the thin ribbons
louise carlin great tip thanks so much!!
Thanks for the video. I was thinking of purchasing a Xyron.
I love this new toy you got! TY for the tutorial. I want it 😁!
Also if you have a detailed die use a stylus to go around the die. It makes sure all of the extra glue stays on the plastic. I use mine on alphabet dies (make my own thicket stickets ).
Love my xyron! And love that you can have permanent and repositioning adhesive. I do like the new machines. I have old version and there kind of child looking. And love that you can use 2 sizes in one machine now. I have 3 sizes, 3 machines.
I, too, hate the glue oozing out, and then showing when it dries. I have some small Xyrons, and I really like them. I saw a tip somewhere, they said to run a tool over it that has a big ball on the end, and it makes the glue stick better to the paper, and not in the holes in the paper, where you want no glue, especially on intricate dies. This works well for me.
Yes, it's a great machine to have. I use the adhesive sheets too. tfs
I have 3 of these machines. The 1.5 inch 5 inch and 9 inch. I've been crafting for 5 years and they last a while. I've never replaced the cartridge, i don't use it every day but it's always so useful for when i need it. Thinking of replacing them with the newer versions tho 🤔 neater look. Thanks for sharing, i get so excited with new toys as well 💕
prettypaperthings i just got the baby one today as well for smaller lrojects
I have the 150, I also have 2 other larger ones I was happy with the first one but couldn't get the refill cartridges after a while so had to get a newer model. Now I can't get cartridges for that 1 either. They seem to come out with a new 1 with new cartridges several times a year.
Diane Peter the reviews i was reading said that this is compatible with older cartridges, i dont know tho because i dont have older machines
I have been using Xyron for years and never knew how to get the excess glue off. That's a game changer.
You’ve just inspired me to get mine out to make stickers out of some very small dies for my Christmas cards
You might try burnishing from the back instead of the front. You can put a little more pressure on it that way. Love your video!!!
Those are fun! There are sooo many shortcuts for die cutting...or scan n cutting. 😀 TFS 💙
I just got the smalker one it's purple. I have not even taken it out of the box and You just made me thrilled !- Let me check my box for size ? Your right 1.5 I guess for words and smaller items. I do allot of tags but now I will be wanting this size lol Thank You for Sharing !
That's so cool! I have been debating whether or not to get one of these! I'm so glad I came across your video! It's! 😊
Amanda Lee very happy with my purchase🙌🏻
I've been using these for a long time. One extra hint. I use my ball embossing tool to "outline" the image and that usually takes care of those loose little strings that sometimes will appear in the intricate areas. And yes there are temporary adhesive cartridges available.
great tip!! thank you!
Oh...I am so getting this.
Thanks for sharing.
Awesome video beautiful ❤️ I bought one and its amazing! I found my card stock stuck to the plastic when I balled it up to remove the excess. So I tried balling up a few glue dots and using them the same way was super successful!
Angie Smith someone told me to roll up the sticky plastic with the sticky stuff hiding, so just the regular plastic is exposed then it will grab sticky stuff but not the cardstock
Sweet I'll give that a go! Thanks lovely xx
Cool tool!
Hey, Toni! I love the entire line of Xyron products! Nearly every time I see a crafter messing around with liquid glue, I’m literally yelling use a Xyron! I’ve had my various Xyron machines for years! Xyron has greatly evolved over time and improved the quality! Initially, the cartridges were big, expensive and messy with adhesive! You can get Xyron in permanent, repositional and magnetic. The cartridges are easy to change out and work well. HSN always has Xyron on their craft days at great prices. Tuesday, July 16th is a 24-hour craft event. Xyron is usually presented by the awesome Beth Kingston! I love watching her do demonstrations! No telling where she might put something she made sticky! lol. I tend to use the “X” the most and keep it handy whenever I’m crafting. Xyron takes most things the thickness of a nickel or less. It works great on ribbon, foam, cork, buttons, etc. It also is awesome when you want to add glitter. Just put the side you want to sparkle face down and run it through your Xyron. You then want to remove the papers, shake on the glitter, dump off the excess and lightly burnish the glittered surface with your finger. By the way, when you use the clear top paper to remove any unwanted sticky from your item, make sure you’re using the top side of the paper as the other side has adhesive that will transfer onto your sticker. Can you tell I’m a Xyron fan?! lol. I’m so glad you’ve discovered Xyron and are sharing it with everyone! Take care! Toni
Toni’s Time ooo love all the ideas and tips thank u so much🤑🤑glitter yassss
Thank you! I have a small one, but thought I had to cut around it. OMG! Tried to catch who you design for. I'm looking for something like that.
I love your demonstration...
I use a little sponge to put on glue! Works AMAZING! I have a Xyron but I always end up tearing my cuts.Guess I am not good with machines haha!!
KenoBabe777 oh no😂🙈
What a great idea ! I had a zyron machine and loved it for laminating.Great for laminating paper lace as a hang down charm for Pocket letters and such.
Love my Xyrons...thank you for sharing
Yay... I've had my eye on this & the small X but ive been hesitant... not anymore! THNX
RealLifeRealWife i wanna order the little one too😂😂🙌🏻
I have one that I always forget to use....have had it for years guess I need to drag it out again....thanks for sharing
Judy Evans Parker hehe whip it out again
Cool machine, I've seen it around, Thanks for tutorial 🤗
I love my zyron sticker maker. I have such a hard time with glueing intricate dies,but not any more!
Yup I have all the zyron toys really helps me.. Love the video
I like mine too...I think it is a great little machine I started with the small X one.
