HUGE TEMU CRAFT HAUL

[@kimberlywalker280]

Enjoying your haul. What cute dies and stamps...so nice of you to try them out for us. On the deer die, you might try wax paper.... I've heard this idea helps. One that I have tried is turning the die after the first run thru. It seems that I have done it this way on my more intricate dies...and had success. Another idea that I have heard lately....is to use envelope bubble wrap....where the bubble wrap is attached to the envelope and run it thru that way. I kept some of this packaging for awhile to try this idea....and, then did a major craft space decluttering...so out it went. Although, I do not prepare for shows( my hat is off to you....I know this is a major undertaking).….but, I can relate in regards to crafting and preparing ahead. I had every intention of being finished with my Christmas cards by now....but, approximately 7 weeks ago....walked out to my crafting space... realized...'it's time to do some streamlining out here'...and, KNEW I could not proceed until said project was complete. It's a refreshing feeling out there now....I DO NOT regret all the time it took to do this big undertaking....but, as you can imagine....it put me behind the eight ball. But, full speed ahead....and, what crafter does not feel the pull of our busy lives. Sharon, I do not mind long videos.... sometimes, I have to stop and practice piano....ECT...but, I enjoy them. Especially when I'm crafting, myself ....I LOVE watching others craft while I do the same. On your last video, you mentioned your friend was doing better. So glad to hear.....and, thank YOU LORD.... 'Enjoy your videos....have a good weekend. ❤

Hi Kimberly! I’m going to try the wax paper, thanks for the tip😁 I am so jealous that your finished clearing out and redoing your craft space. Mine was started, and I still do bits at a time, but ….. 😂 Thanks for hanging out with me ❤️

FYI I use the foam rolls off the canvas for painting screw heads. Love the hot cocoa canvas.

[@BanditsMom-w8k]

I do recycling of windows and antiques. Alot of wood, ornaments etc so watching the stamp and dies is a nice change. I have many but not the most proficient so like watching.

Love that you check out the stamps and dies ❤

Great haul Sharon. I just got an oval die (different sizes) from Temu which are great. I think the largest is 3x4 fyi. Do a search. I am sure it will come up. Ovals Of Different Sizes Cutting Dies Mold DIY Metal Embossing Scrapbooking Mold. Here is how it is described. Also I heard that if you run a die first thru wax paper then use it it will release easier. I haven’t tried it yet, but worth experimenting especially for those detailed die. Good luck.

[@littlebritco1337]

Hi Robin! I’m going to look for that die set and try the wax paper ❤️

[@karengreen6517]

I use parchment paper down first then the paper then the die when cutting anything intricate. Also poke through all the pin holes all around as they are the release points.Loved watching you showing us what the the die and stamps look like done. Xx

[@sheilag.3684]

Love the white and cream sweaters! And I always watch to the end. And I loved the little bird stamps!

[@littlebritco1337]

Thanks Sheila!❤️

Hi Sharon. Setting up coffee/hot chocolate bars seems to be a "thing" during the holidays and I think the Gingerbread & Co canvases would make good signage for that type of decor. Love the little mouse in the candy cane teacup! At my dentist's office, they have a bowl of mini ChapSticks (approx. 1 inch) in different "flavors." Amazon has "Lip Naturals Mini Balms: 3 Flavors, SPF-15, 50ct" for $22. I would imagine TEMU would have them for less. Maybe you can use those in that cute little box. Thanks for taking the time to show us "in use" items. Yep, I hang out with you 'til the end-good company. Paper jewelry accents painted to look like leather is what I remember back in the day. Cheers.

[@littlebritco1337]

Hi Denise! They would look good for a hot chocolate bar! I’ll have to look for those mini chapsticks! Minis can be very popular. Thanks for hanging out❤️❤️

[@cnmjmm416]

Hi Sharon, thanks for sharing. I love seeing the stamps and dies. Lucky for you that they all cut well.

[@littlebritco1337]

[@donnahern1743]

Hi, love the haul! The little box is perfection!❤❤❤ Love the long videos!

[@littlebritco1337]

Thanks my friend!❤️

So many questions, by the time I get to the end of your video I've forgotten most of them 🤣, great video, I don't mind the unboxing and going straight into playing with the goodies, but it may be better for your channel to split them up in future? With intricate dies like the Corner Deer, I would use 'cut tidy' (not sure if it's available in America) or baking paper between the die and the paper you want to cut, it helps the pieces fall out. If you wanted the deer to cut out of the paper rather than cut off the paper, just move the 2 outside cutting lines off the edge of your paper and it will cut in the design and leave it attached. Stazon ink should really only be used for non porous medium, like glass, acetate, porcelain, vellum etc, I wouldn't use it for paper, you're better off with an Archival or Versafine, especially if you want all the detail to be really crisp. And then, you're stamps will discolour less too. Even the Stazon cleaner doesn't clean all the ink off the stamp. Oh and another thought....when you cut your dies, especially the intricate ones, put them cutting side up rather than down, the Sizzix works better that way up, more pressure onto the cutting edge rather than pushing down through all it's layers. With your dies, there are tiny little round holes all over the non cutting side, which are the 'release holes' for pushing out your die (on the deer die, I saw most of them on the legs) I've also found by running a non sharp pokey tool over the surface of the cut paper image, it releases those tiny parts much faster (think of it like running your hand along a wall as you walk along) that kind of action. Any way, I'm going to shut up now before KZbin start charging me to write on posts! lol Great video Sharon, hope you all have a lovely weekend. 😍

[@kerrymartin9103]

I enjoyed watching the results of you trying the dies and stamps...would love to see how you use the same items in finished projects...TH has a roller brush that comes with foam piece that rolls over dies to remove small pieces of paper...Temu does too.....😀❤

[@littlebritco1337]

Hi Kerry! I really think I need to get one❤️

[@MarySmith-fx2xs]

I bought a small brush from Temu made to run over the dies that have a lot of holes to punch out. It makes it so much easier to do. I always run my dies through 2 times otherwise there always seems to be some pieces that I need to clip with the scissors. I usually stay till the end . I like watching you.

[@littlebritco1337]

Thank you❤️❤️

[@EmmaFrusher]

Hi, great haul, loving your ideas! Just had a thought when I saw the gingerbread houses that you are going to make earrings with, what about get antique keys, make a gingerbread house keyring with a key, and a bow, to make Santa magic door keys to sell! Many families don’t have fireplaces anymore. Also a heads up, the mouse stamp in a cup, is a fake of a brand called house mouse by Joanna Sheen, she makes a whole series of them in stamps and decoupage. You can buy direct from her or from Katy Sue Designs or Amazon. I know some people get upset about buying fakes. X

[@EmmaFrusher]

Did you spot the fox under the tree stamp??? You said it was snow at the bottom but if you look closely it’s a fox!

[@littlebritco1337]

Hi Emma! I’ll have to look her up, thanks for letting me know. I have some nice Santa keys, but they haven’t sold. Maybe I’ll try your Gingerbread twist😁 Hope you’re doing great! How is the class going? Loads of students I hope!❤️❤️

[@littlebritco1337]

I didn’t! I do now😂🤣

[@donnahern1743]

I’m still hanging out with you!! I enjoy your content. I’m a crafter of so many different crafts!!❤

[@littlebritco1337]

Thanks Donna!❤️

[@BeckyBell-fi3kk]

Hi Big Brit, hope all is well with the Family ❤😊

[@missyemlin4488]

I'm still with you. I think everything you do is so interesting! I love these gorgeous cutouts! Maybe you should have separated it, but I don't mind. I hang out!!❤❤

[@littlebritco1337]

Hi Missy! Thanks so much! I have another Temu haul coming out this week with a follow up video trying the dies😁😁

[@LindaSmith-r4x]

I love watching all you do but it helps if we want to buy the dies and stamps you show when you stamp and cut them .

[@littlebritco1337]

Hi Linda! Thanks so much for the feedback! It truly helps😁

[@BanditsMom-w8k]

Some of their stamps remind me of Joan Walsh England.

[@tinahooper3470]

Hi Big Brit! 🖐️ Girlfriend! Do you really have to ask if we're ready for crafts!?😂 I didn't see the sleeping fox under the tree until you stamped it. I'm the same way about using washi tape on dies. "The proof of the pudding is in the eating." Your box looks like x-mas pudding. For the purse box how about those small round lip balms? Had a great time. Thanks. Stay safe.

[@littlebritco1337]

Hi Tina! That little box really did come out well😁 I’m going to see if I can find some of those round ones for a reasonable price❤️❤️

[@BanditsMom-w8k]

Would the Lil purse fit an eos lip stick,
