I loved this, so glad you showed them all cut, I buy from there to and sometimes you wonder if they will cut. Thank you, Judy
@@edwardhandziak4219 thanks so much for watching!
I have some of these dies and running through more than once and experimenting with paper types really help. I also watch for example photos of the dies in completed assembled products, like the bird set. Take screenshots of the example photos. Can really help when trying to figure where those little pieces go like the bits for the bird's head. Thank you for sharing this.
Thanks for watching and for the input!
You might see a difference when running your thin dies through....cutting face up. Just my opinion.
I recently started learning to use my wafer thin die collection, normally I stick to steel rule dies and I use my cutting plates to within a millimeter of their lives. They worked fine for my simpler wafer dies, but I learned to keep a fresh plate to use on my more intricate dies, anything where a lot of paper got cut through at once.
Thank you. Good to know!
They are so cool! I can’t wait and will be checking out your Etsy! Thank you 🥳❤️
Awesome!
Put the intricate dies rough side up, underneath your paper instead of rough side down on top of the paper. It's also easier to poke the little pieces out of you leave the paper in the die. It gives you a sturdier surface to work with.
Perfect. Thanks
Thank you for this! I have been wondering about their die’s! The seem to work great.
Yep. I’m pretty pleased with them.
I've watched a ton of Temu hauls and I have to say that I like it better when it's just the showing of the products with screenshots of the finished product vs. watching you die cut them right on the spot -it takes so much longer. Most of the other influencers do a second video where they're testing their products. I still enjoyed your video, but it seemed to take so much longer and didn't keep my attention vs. the other way. As far as the electric die cut machines, I have three! The Gemini was my first one and I loved it. My last one was Anna Griffin's Empress regular size and I don't know what I'd do without it. I use it 99% of the time because in watching her, you put your cardstock down on the magnet sheet, then put your cutting die on top of the cardstock, so it doesn't move, no need for washi tape to hold it in place. Her magnet sheet is thicker than the Gemini's so it works this way. A magnet sheet is only $12, so it's inexpensive to replace, but I use mine everyday and it lasts for at least a couple of months. I even bought the mini Express and love it for die cutting little dies and words. These two machines are game changers! I hope my opinions helps you in some way. Thank you and I'm glad I found your channel.
Thanks for watching
I have a lot of the same dies , I haven’t had a chance to try them yet. thanks so much for sharing. 🌼 so much fun watching you die cut .
I love die cuts!! Thanks for watching.
I was right there with you on that last die--had NO idea what it was about! I think it's nice you showed us everything so we know what to buy and what to skip. tfs
Aww. Thanks for watching! ❤️
Enjoyed the demo. The library card pocket die is fun to use with double-sided patterned paper.
Thanks for watching and for the great tip!!
I expect you figured out the bee it IS way cool. Sometimes when dye does not work I try layering paper to make it thicker. All the best ~ Toni
@@shrineshrine389 thank you
Thank you for sharing these. I would definitely pass on a few thanks to you. 😁
Thanks for watching.
1st time here and loved your video. Thanks. I could relate so much. It was like watching myself.
Welcome! Glad you’re here and thanks so much for watching
Just a tip that I saw from another channel, screen shot and print out the image of the completed die cut from the website. Be sure to store the image with the die for reference.
Great tip
I just looked up the donut hole punch. It shows it's for using with washi tape to make little sticky hole protectors. Awesome little gadget. It also looks like she barely squeezes it and it cuts the tape perfectly and then you just peel the little donut off the plastic sheet.
Also, there's a very neat tool to help get rid of all those little pieces out of intricate dies. I bought one and Micheal's and found one on Temu. It's a brush with a foam sheet, you lay the die on the foam and roll the brush back and forth and it gets rid of the little pieces. Search "die cut brush tool"
I enjoyed your video, I like that you showed the die cut outs, not just the die. You have a calming voice which is nice. Love seeing your cat!
Thank you so much.
i would return the punch and not think twice about it. great haul! 😊
Wow very nice, your film, and the dies.
Thank you
Thanks for actually showing what the dies can do, rather than just showing a die in a package. If you line your die with waxed paper or dryer sheet, they will come out a lot easier. I order a ton from Temu and I may have had 1 bad die out of hundreds...yes I have a problem😅. Cutting side up helps as well or just add an extra little shim
Thanks for the input!!
Metal shim I've got the same die. Works like a dream x
Ok. Perfect thanks for the suggestion
Yes, I am aware of some of the designs being copies....I am in UK and for years have been buying Alexandra Renke dies and stamps...since brexit they will not post to UK....checked last week again.... I have resisted for a long time but there is one flower die I would love so have given in....this time ...have even thought of heading to Germany to purchase.... I dont go for cute stuff and would really rather be able to purchase at oroper price.
The donut punch shot one out when you did it on paper. But I think the plastic pieces is for using it with washi. I could have seen it wrong…. 2:41
Yep. I did finally figure out the washi tape part! Lol.
Thanks for sharing thanks for the laugh. ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
I have dies and thought they didn't cut through properly, then realised they cut and emboss! Birdie the part with the hole is the head and beak, the 2 feather wings the other part could be the chest but I didn't get a good look, hope that helps.
Wow!!
I hung in there with you! Love them but I would have to pass on the intricate plates, and the punch. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank you !!❤️❤️
Enjoyed your video, I don't know if this helps anyone, and I don't know the lady who showed it on YT, but when card shims and various plates don't help on intricate dies use bubble wrap, card stock then your plate. I have tried it on a tricky die from a well known company and it worked. Definitely foam pad and brush for tiddly bits in the die, leave in the die and brush from the back.
Thanks! Appreciate the tips!!
You need a die brush tool. They have them on Temu. Also try using a fresh dryer sheet on those intricate dies. Watch how to on UA-cam. It works.
Awesome. Thanks for the input!
haven't read all the comments but feel someone might have mentioned this....I dust intricate dies with talcum powder first....and its not just the cooies which are hsrd to extract from dies..it applies also to expensive brands.
@@joycestewart291 thanks for the info!
When I am cutting intricate designs I will use an extra shim. Put an extra piece of card stock on top. See if that works.
Thank you for that tip!
Hi Lisa, some cute dies from Temu, I've had a couple that just wouldnt cut through no matter how many times but mainly ok. The bird with the pieces...is there a picture on the Temu item that would give you a clue? Im crafting and listening to you, looking up to see the diecut so not boring, its nice company 😊 as I'm in UK prob wont buy from you cost of postage but think a selection of diecuts is a great idea 👍
Hey Lucy! Yep. I actually went back and clarified a few questions I had 😂. Thanks for watching
On thin dies, use a thin die adapter. You can try adding a piece of paper between the plate sandwich, but the adapters don't cost much.
Thanks for the tip!!
Have you tried the spongy thing with the brush roller to get the little pieces out?
No. I don’t have one. Thanks for the suggestion
Some of those dies, (bee) you can turn over, and use embossing mat, i figured out, some dies are a combination
Awesome!! Thanks for the info
I think on your bee and hearts you need to add a shim for added pressure when cutting
Yes. I think you’re right
Try adding a shim to your sandwich. I've had to do this with my sandwich.
@@kyralawrence4662 thanks
Try putting a piece or 2 of paper on top as a shim. Those intricate dies need a little more pressure.
Thank you!!
Sometimes it helps to weed your image before you take it out of the die.
Good advice. Thanks Laura!
Maybe it's for different thickness card, but it shouldn't be that hard to punch.
I went back and saw a video they had (which I hadn’t seen before). And apparently it’s for washi tape. Which isn’t something I’m going to be doing much of … live and learn
Using parchment card stock does not work and you should run your dies twice.
Thanks for watching
Temu? Nope.
It’s a personal choice for sure. I’m enjoying my purchases so far.
So why watch a video with Temu in the title. You are just being a Troll.
Gee....sometimes it's nice to find a die that costs $5.98 rather than $29.00 from the greedy corporations here in the US.
@@MamaH329 Read 'What is Temu and is it legit?' by the Times U.K. Child labor is o.k. by you, I guess...
@@destamperjo Oh, I'm more than a troll, I was a subbie until this vid. I'm ETHICAL about where my hard-earned money goes (you can look up the word 'ethics'). Why, pray tell, do you think that Chinese-made temu products are so cheap? Do you think Chinese CEOs are living poor to pay their workers? ROFLOL!
Sorry, no Temu. They steal designs, patterns etc. from artists and designers.
Good to know
so why watch a video with Temu in the title. You are just a Troll.
Well then just keep scrolling. I buy what is affordable for me and I don't apologize for it !! And if you knew what you we talking about, if you look at it the products come from all DIFFERENT companies, temu does not steal designs if there is that going on then it is the individual company's. I have seen where Simon says is one of the companies, and I have seen STAMPIN up listed as a company !!! Temu is like an AMAZON..
SO IN CONCLUSION maybe you should research before condemning
I have to buy from Ali and Temu. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to craft. However if I see a die that is clearly labeled another name , I won't buy. But when you can buy a die for $2 to $8 vs $30 or $40, I'm going to do it. Just remember tho, their stamps are silicone vs photopolymer (?sp) so they need to be used with a different pressure and may not stamp as well . Pick your poison
