    I've used the rolling pin technic for year before I picked up a Big Shot at a garage sale. Works great, especially if you use a wooden rolling pin. I use painters tape to stick things down. To make the tape less tacky, stick it onto you clothes and pull it up..

    Love the tip for cutting out a die that is too large for my machine. Several years ago I bought a die set even though the largest one doesn't fit in my machine. Now I know I can use it. :) I couldn't find the instructions for the project on your blog. I love it! If you would steer me in the right direction, I would love to make some for Christmas presents for the coming year. Thank you!

  • @gladysward6969

  • @craftypenpalmoma
    @craftypenpalmoma Před 2 lety +1

    Yes great tip. The paper thickness certainly makes a difference! I tried to do this my first time using cardstock (like 65lb I think).. and it was really hard to do bc it needed more pressure than the thinner paper.
    I also tried an intricate die and it didn't work out lol.

    • @Lizthepaperproject

    What a wonderful idea! I realized after I bought my small machine, that I was going to need a bigger machine. I asked everyone at Christmas one year if they would just donate as opposed to buying presents! This was 20-something years ago, so I'm sure they were much cheaper than they are now.

  • @cindyhenry1410
    @cindyhenry1410 Před 2 lety

    Awesome tip on the large dies! I just ordered a die set from Tonic and I knew the larger die would not fit in my machine, I figured I would just trace it and cut by hand, but your tip makes such a nice clean cut! I just wonder if would work on thicker paper (the die I bought makes a large box and it would require thicker paper.) Love your little fold out journal/cards! I’d like to make some! Will view your tutorials! TYFS!! ❤️🦋💜

    • @Lizthepaperproject
      @Lizthepaperproject  Před 2 lety

    Hi there! Thanks for sharing such an inspirational and useful video! I am only just getting interested in paper crafting so I’m not sure that buying a die cutter would be a good use of money for me (depending on how my interest lasts). Seeing how metal dies can be used without a machine is fantastic! I looked for the link to the video you said you watched about it and could find the link - maybe I looked in the wrong place, though?

I've never seen nor heard of you, so I got not even half way through and thought why haven't I seen you until now❤😊❣ I really needed to see your video last week, I went down to Southern California to spend time with my Sister. I've painted my greeting cards with watercolor paints all my 40 years, when I was flipping through the channels I seen a video of Natasha Foote. Well now I'm back in Utah & all my craft supplies is still at my Sister's home 😢💔🥺 Anyways I am so, very, very happy that this boo-boo was a happy accident just waiting to happen❤😊❣ I am now a Subscribed Card/Everything Crafter🥰❤😊❣ ringing the Bell at full speed every time you have a video.
