    I'm not much of a cardmaker myself, and I don’t think I’ll ever be buying cardmaking supplies. However, your energy and enthusiasm for this art form are absolutely infectious! Your extensive knowledge, remarkable skill, and the stunning creations you share are truly inspiring. Watching your videos is always a highlight of my day-they never fail to brighten it!

      The crafting community is a really generous, supportive group of kind, sharing and giving people. Unlike other industries, competition is not paramount but helping others to success is. This spills over from industry leaders into the makers. If ever you do decide to lend your hand to a card or two then share them, you will not only receive the instant gratification that we all get from our creations but the support of the wider community as well. I already do a lot of other things but would not swap out cardmaking for anything. Try it, you might like it!

    Love the magic mat! I’ve been using it with my Gemini jr for a couple years. The sandwich is weird….sizzix plate, magic mat, paper, die, Gemini plate. No warping whatsoever. About every 3-6 months I place the magic mats in boiling water to get rid of the lines and paper scraps.

    I like the magic mats have about 5 of them. When they start warping I put them in the sun and use a different one, I bring the other one in from the sun and use it. I keep going back and forth like that til I can't use them anymore. So far I like them better than the clear plastic ones. They also seem to cut better than the plastic ones. As far as the magnetic one I haven't been able to get one yet.

    I have used the magic mat for quite some time now. I have an electric A4 (Letter) size Couture Creations Go Cut N Emboss with really strong rollers. I replaced one cutting plate but found that there is a slight difference in thickness so I used a cardboard shim and that fixed it. Yes, the mat warps but this is easily fixed by heating it with a heat gun or very very gently with an embossing gun. I like that the mat is washable and all those little fibres that get left behind can be cleared away. I scrubbed mine with a toothbrush after about 6 months of continuous use. It took no time at all really, dried very quickly and cutting was as good as it was when it was new. Hope this helps. Oh, and even with overseas postage on top, it's cheaper than buying new perspex cutting mats which I would have to do more often.

      I just bought a second hand CC A4 Go power and emboss to use with bigz dies and their go press and foil, as I struggle with the big shot plus manual rollers now, and the gemini won't work with either. It only came with the white A plate though and I cannot get a reply from CC. is it true that you can use the same plates as Sizzix machines ? I want to get new plates, so I can sell my other two machines with plates included . Can you advise me on the sandwiches needed ? Also have you tried the Craftelier version of the magic mats sold in UK. I really do not want to pay international postage and custom fees for the same product as something sold here . Thanks, Lillia

      @@Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia Hi. I am in Australia so I can't really help you with where to get the plates except for over here but the B plate is 3/8 inch, nearly 1/4" thick and the C plate is marginally thicker than Sizzix at 3mm or about 1/8in. I feel that Sizzix plates alone with a lot of shims would badly warp too quickly to be viable. I have used a Spellbinder's magic mat instead of the C plate as you cut into the C plate not the thicker B plate, and while it has been mostly successful, it was also slightly thicker than the C plate. You also have to cut facing down rather than up as they recommend. For Bigz dies, use the magic mat with a shim if needed. Search UA-cam for their videos on various sandwiches then substitute what you have.

    • @Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia
      @Cre8tiveConnexionsbyLillia Місяць тому +1

Here's a quote from the manual: "To diecut with Bigz metal rule dies you will need to purchase a separate C plate" and the sandwich is shown as: C then die facing up, card then C again. Hope this is more helpful than my last answer - I had to hunt down the manual. Ask your local store to order them in. You won't get an answer from CC as they are wholesalers.

    I have a small magnetic glass craft mat which I use for matting and layering. I still have the predecessor to the acrylic stamp blocks. They were magnetic blocks. The rubber stamps were the first to be sold on magnetic tape / sheet, instead of wooden blocks. Before clear stamps. A brilliant idea at the time especially for greetings/ sentiments. You got a large one for the big stamps and a small one that you could use for up to 3 lines of words, so you could mix and match from various sets. I use my large one to keep a card flat after using in my Sizzix stamp tool or when wet glue is drying. I like my Altenew 9 x 12 ultra grip mat for working on my non magnetic larger glass mat with my 9 x 12 stencils and suchlike. I struggle to get the cling sheets off my waffle flower one, the largest one they sell. I admit I actually prefer the set of 3 different sized ones, that also come with alignment guides included, from one of those cheap sites. They are just the right degree of stick and I use them happily with inks that stain , and even when applying microfine glitter or perfect pearls powders. They are so cheap to replace, so I keep my expensive ones for projects that are tidier. I do not feel bad because I do invest in good products too, and never buy the stamps or dies that are robbing designers of their royalties. My fave recent buy is the hinge adapter for the Sizzix stamp/stencil platform. I can use it for canvases and art journaling now. I will still invest in the Stampwheel 2 as it has more sections and a larger circle, so both have their pros and cons. I ruined the first Sizzix sticky grid sheet by turning a stamped piece of card I was practicing on, over to the other side and got ink all over it. It also attracts every dust bunny and dog hair. I use the single sided Misti mats over it now. Ithink the rotational stamp platforms are one of the best inventions since the clear stamps themselves. I have been crafting since I was 8, so that is over 40 years and I have so many old stamp sets that will be getting a new lease of life, especially my peg stamps which I finally unmounted from their wooden dowels this week. Can I ask your opinion on the gyro cut knife ?

    To me, the magnetic magic mat is a game changer, but I use it two different ways than you. If I use one mat, I use it to replace my bottom plate and place the dies on it face up (so there is more metal surface connecting to the magnet) and then place my paper and then my plate. My favorite way to cut is to replace both plates with magnetic mats. It glides through my machine easier and I get really clean, tapeless cuts too. Love your stamps and dies!

Would you explain what is the difference between the Better Press (plus hot foiling); as opposed mainly to just a regular die cutting machine? I have a Sizzix Big Shot. Would the Better Press dies fit through that model of die cutting machine? I don't really understand why/how the Better Press is better? Or just different? Thank you

      Letterpress plates create intaglio , that is impressed images into paper, with or without ink. The opposite of cameo or raised. Embossing creates both cameo and intaglio, on either side of the cardstock. Debossing actually means to undo embossing by flattening the paper . Think of old fashioned printing presses , like on expensive hammered and linen papers, like an old fashioned typewriter. It makes for incredibly professional documents etc. They are not dies and do not cut. Hotfoil plates do not cut either. They get warm and melt the foil, just like the hotfoil heated pens we used for years, but with better results. Spellbinders sell two separate machines and say you should not use thin dies in them or hotfoil plates on the betterpress. However the original machine by Couture Creations , the Go Press and foil, uses the same machine and plates to both hotfoil and letter press! You can also use other companies plates and thin dies in it as they have a metal adapter plate to stop the dies cutting , or damaging the machine. You may be able to pick one up second hand for less than the cost of just the Betterpress or hotfoil systems Spellbinders sell.

      Oh and the Couture Creations go press and foil platform works with the Sizzix bigshot or any machine that takes Sizzix Bigz dies

    Another great video! Thank you!!! I love the polka dots w/coppery Lunar Paste background. I do have one question: are you using an overhead light and if so, how do you eliminate the reflection off of the glass mat?

    • @simon.hurley
      @simon.hurley  Місяць тому +1

      Yes! I am using an overhead light and a light in front of me. The overhead light is offest forward a bit to get rid of the reflection. :)

    A better way to use the magnetic mat is to place the dies cutting side facing up away from the magnetic plate and place the card stock on top of the die with a normal cutting plate on top of that. This way, there is more surface for the die to be held to the magnetic surface. Also, nothing cuts into the magnet and it will last forever.
