Die Cutting Hacks, Tips, and Tricks - Stamp and Chat Live Replay

Tonight, I shared a whole bunch of tips and tricks for die cutting. I showed you how to center your images inside your dies to give you the perfect white edge using both an acrylic block and the Misti. I also shared a couple of other die cutting techniques including a die cut gatefold card and a partial die cut image card. We talked about how important it is to go on a worry fast once in a while and the quote was, "If your compassion does not include yourself, it's incomplete." Thank you all so much for joining me tonight!

The partial die cutting is fantastic and that card is beautiful

[@lorraineeason3756]

Love your cards, Gina. Top marks for explaining. I was very impressed and liked watching your videos. WELL DONE

[@ruthwerbecki7823]

I watched this before, but you can never stop learning, and you are an excellent teacher. Thank you again for sharing with us.

[@kayroberts1422]

Great tips!! you're always on top of sharing something new.

[@joannedonovan9489]

Beautiful cards & great tips & tricks!! Thank you!!

[@maryprovens2593]

Glad to see this video. I got the zen sunflowers in a mystery box and I love this technique.

[@michaleedwards4310]

Gina K - please don’t “hurry” your videos just because some smart alec says to. As a beginner in dies and stamp coordination I prefer your videos because the tone of your voice and your laid back speed at which you instruct it’s easier to follow. I appreciate you. Thanks.

[@bunnylands916]

There's always the option of watching a video sped up for anyone who thinks the presentation is too slow. (I do it quite often, when I can't wait to watch something but don't have much time. It's surprising how much you can pick up, even at 2x normal speed.)

[@milliecookie147]

Love your tips, Gina! Thank you,

Adorable cards and techniques, Gina! Thank you for showing them. In Hungary we are sleeping when the live stream starts so I can't watch it in the middle of the night, but I never miss it the next day. Thanks a lot.

[@iresgrnis2769]

Super cute cards!

Thank you this was fantastic. I am learning awesome stuff.

[@barbhenning4068]

Love it. Your ink and paper are the best. Very seldom use any other.

[@becre8tive199]

You made such a good point when you reminded us that it is healthy to take a break from the anxiety-producing events in life to experience moments of enjoyment and creativity. Thank you for sharing your craft through such a holistic mindset.

[@morganmcneill8847]

Better late than never ... these tips and techniques are great!!! I think vanilla card stock would be great also on the gate fold card

[@hopewilkes74]

Such cool ideas. Thanks!!!!

[@ninaoelke9297]

Gina, I love your videos and can hardly wait to see them each week. I have learned so much from you. Thanks for inspiring me also. I do enjoy your little chat at the beginning of your videos as well. ❤️

Thanks for all of the great lessons - love learning new things

[@ejej1964]

Just brilliant !

[@suerussell497]

Great instructions! Thank you for showing us the techniques to create gorgeous cards.

[@bellapopish7584]

Awesome cards. It was nice to relax and learn new techniques. You have a sweet calming voice that is enjoyable to learn from. You inspired me four years ago with stamptv to pull my stamps out of storage and make cards again after not stamping for 20 years. There was no misti, die cutting or hot foiling back then... I have learned how to make some beautiful cards thanks to you for being such a wonderful teacher.... Your the best!!!

[@mariaelenasantiago3313]

I'm enjoying your teaching skills. Your a great teacher😊

[@laurastokker5193]

What a lovely video. Thank you.

[@melissamcneil683]

[@charlsiesmith302]

Always look forward to your Monday and Wednesday video’s. Thank you

[@wandaradler6718]

Beautiful cards and great tips. I love, love, love the Zen Flowers stamp set that your daughter designed.

[@carmacarson6561]

Thank you for your ‘up’ talks at the beginning of your lives. They are great reminders about life in general.

[@lindamoore9729]

I love the ideas. Thanks. Beautiful cards!

[@susanditz5482]

Learned a lot on dies and more beautiful cards!

[@JenAultman]

This WAS fun. Such a great time of year for craft card stock. Just great cards and a break from the world around me. Learned a few great tips here too! Thanks as always! Can’t wait for Wednesday AND the new release!

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

Great video, thanks.

[@donnaward6158]

AWESOME techniques! Thank you!

[@carmacarson6561]

WOW! I have learned so much tonight. Thank you for sharing!

[@jogriffiths4797]

Loving having so many tips in one video, thanks very much! One thing I’d never seen or thought of is using a scoreboard & ruler to mark a line. I’m going to do that for folded cards & box cards etc. from now on instead of squinting at a ruler trying to put my pencil in the right place!

[@lorrainemelin5874]

Watched the replay. What great cards! Thanks for the inspiration!

[@rokrsmom1449]

I love your inspirational comments. We lost my 34 year-old niece a couple weeks ago, and I shared your comments with my sister. Thank you so much!

[@cjoanschepperly7390]

The dry eraser is a great idea.

[@faithsaito9833]

OMG Gina just love how this card came out! Stunning! Mahalo!

[@ThingsIDoful]

Excellent information

[@kelleysral4504]

Great ideas. Thank you. I really like the stamp sets you used.

[@rainygirl9115]

Thanks for mentioning Canada! Happy day to you as well 😁

[@lorrainezaring9043]

Hi Gina. Love the cards and like many others really appreciated all the tips. Hope you do more of this type of video. Also, every time I see that black and white checked ribbon, I think of your bow tutorial that I watched over and over and over to finally master making a Gina K bow. Lastly, I love your new hair. Rina has done a great job, and lastly lastly, your nails looked so pretty during the video. Have a great Wednesday. Sending healthy wishes from Middleton. Lorraine

[@cljordison]

Thank you for so many great tips and tricks tonight. I loved the partial die cutting! Gorgeous cards! I am so greatful and look forward to your Monday and Wednesday lives. Thank you so much for all you do for so many of us. You have such a calming voice and beautiful heart and soul.💕

[@RF-nq3vi]

to condition new stamps - I use the softest nail buffer and gently 'sand' the stamp - doesn't hurt the stamp - then I always stamp it with versa mark to help reduce staining

[@dunlopsue]

Thanks for sharing Gina 😊👍🏼

[@shennahull2183]

What a Great Class!! Thank you so much, I truly appreciate your kindness and time to teach and encourage us to be successful!! Have a Beautiful Blessed and Peaceful Day...🌻🎃🌞

Such fabulous and well explained tips! Thanks!😍

[@polaroiddiva]

I love these die cutting tips and having them all in one video! Thanks! I especially love your last card with the pumpkins. I think it would be interesting to stamp the Petit Flourish stamp on the inside flaps too.

[@kathypatterson4630]

This was awesome! Thank you, Gina.

[@judyingham6794]

Great video thank you

[@janet257]

[@annihilator45]

This is a great idea for stamping an masse.

[@PaperMoonPottery]

That was great! Thank-you :)

[@Elizabeth45840]

I Absolutely Love the Cards!Thank you so much for sharing. Tip for you. If you place your used purple tape on your die cutting machine. You can use it the next time. Also just use Versa Mark on your stamp the first time. Easy on the hands.

[@jinkiedog8824]

Right out of the box, a tip that I can really use. I've been stamping and die cutting for several years and have never seen anyone using the die template to get even white edges! Thank you, thank you!!

[@desireehoornweg7696]

To condition my new stamps I use a microfibre cloth to lightly rub it. It works perfectly

[@carmacarson6561]

Oh, and I love your top...you look good wearing it!

[@SarahArnoldTheAccidentalArtist]

These are all adorable Gina! Thank you so much for demonstrating these techniques. I just bought the same die cutting machine and it will arrive this week. Eager to try it with your fall stamps too :)

[@carmacarson6561]

Love all these cards! I will try making them!

[@blackitten2]
