Great tips, thank you. I recently started this hobby and wanted to emboss with one of my dies. Nothing I improvised worked until I thought of using my thin rubber-ish mouse pad. Voila! it worked.

[@melissaeldridge2428]

Creative idea! 💌

[@simplysimplestamping]

Kathleen, I am so glad you enjoyed it. I am glad you found some tricks that work for you.

[@vernahall8080]

Hi Connie, I have a great very simple tip to protect your top cutting plate from getting all cut up. I put a sheet of copy paper over my die under my top plate. Sometimes I put a double sheet. This means my top plate lasts for months and months without having to be replaced. It also protects cardstock from marks, very handy for foil. I have been doing this for years. Verna from Australia 🇦🇺

Hi Connie! Thanks for sharing these tips - great stuff! I hope you don’t mind a bit of constructive feedback - the sound is really crackly. I thought you would want to know as most who watch videos online will tolerate visuals being iffy, but not sound. Have a great weekend, Steph

[@Used2flyn]

Yes, I finally resorted to watching with audio off. Must be the microphone. Great tips though. Thank you.

[@simplysimplestamping]

I can't figure out why you had problems. I had several people go back and watch it and the sound was okay.

[@Used2flyn]

@@simplysimplestamping I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to sound critical, perhaps it is my device. I’ll try listening on another device and see if the problem corrects. I know you work hard to put out great videos, I’m so sorry for a negative comment, I thought perhaps the other commenter and I were representative of others as well.

One of the best tips I ever learned was to add double sided tape to the back of my cardstock before diecutting. Makes life much simpler for intricate diecuts and Sentiments.

[@kayfurnish8715]

I've been using Press n' Seal for a long time in my craft room, but never to hold dies in place instead of washi or purple tape! I haven't been happy with any of the "new" tapes to hold my dies, so I'm definitely going to try PnS now! Did you know a fellow crafter's hubby invented PnS?? Yep! Jennifer McGuire's husband invented it!! Oh, and the SU silicone mat is fantastic! I use them all the time for applying glue to intricate dies and daubing them off on the silicone so they don't 'bleed' on my project! I also use them to hold ink pads, loosen lids, etc. I have 2 & I bought my hubby one for the garage so he would keep his mitts off mine!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Kay, I did know that actually. It is a great product.

What is the name of the purple tape tho?
