[@KathyaKalinine]

Hi Friends! I’m hoping this video helps you with finding easy ways to color your die cuts with a sticky mat and ways to keep the template with your dies when you’re finished coloring. It’s also portable for those who like to craft on the go. I hope this helps! Let me know what you think! 😊

Great tip!it took me a moment to get what you were saying but then I clicked and thought wow this can be really useful, especially for small dies like flowers and leaves. Thanks!😊

[@KathyaKalinine]

You’re so welcome! 🥰🤗

[@mzp6620]

I really like your template idea for precision stamping...I guess as far as coloring I just do a blob of color on paper then die cut. 😂 I love your ideas, thanks for sharing.

[@KathyaKalinine]

Awesome! You have to do what’s best for you, right? 🤗🥰 I often struggle with coloring die cuts because they always jump around or I bend when bring the brush to the die cut. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! 🥰

Brilliant as always! Great time savers, beautiful outcome! Also, I’m happy to see the WRMM envelop punch board being used. Our Tuesday Morning by my house also closed down, the only one in the city or this area. I worked there part time which working fulltime with the school district. All those earnings went back to that store, and then some😂 Thank you for this great video!

FINALLY, a paper crafter suggesting Elmer's Glue All. I've been thinking that i needed to start my own channel just to bring attention to this glue. This stuff is GREAT and big tome economical. A whole gallon, when I bought mine, was $10. Unfortunately, I think it's near double now. It lasts forever. I don't get why this very common glue is so over looked!

[@KathyaKalinine]

I’m so glad you chimed in on this. I love this glue and it’s a new favorite. I made sure to try it out for a good solid month to make sure it held up. Crafty hugs!🤗

[@MiMijakam]

Stacy Parks new inks by Jacard are really nice. She is just starting to build colors....12 so far. Thanks for this useful technique!

Do use Canva for your labels on the backs of your cards. Are they see thru and self sticking? I love you ideas and your cards. Thanks

[@KathyaKalinine]

Hi Mimi! I just go to Avery.com and use a 2” clear label template. I designed it directly on their website and print on my laser printer at home. So easy and Avery.com has tons of label templates and designs. I hope this helps. And thank you for your kind compliment! 🤗🥰

[@prorich9805]

Love this video, thanks. Is the ink pigmented?

[@KathyaKalinine]

No, I used Catherine Pooler dye inks for coloring the die cuts. 🥰

[@prudencelay6067]

Where do you order your made by labels?

[@KathyaKalinine]

I don’t sell the labels, unfortunately. I just went to Avery.com, chose the 2” labels by Avery and selected a design I liked and added my info and changed the images. I hope this helped. Let me know if you think it would be helpful to do a video on how to make them. 🥰

[@GrdmaKat2000]

Hi Kathya, Love your template idea. Wondering if this new glue is tacky enough to use the little rhinestones gems on paper? I’ve found most glues dont hold the gems long term.

[@KathyaKalinine]

Thanks! I found that the glue does work with gems but on the card where I out the flat floral centers, one came off. So, I added more glue and let it ooze out at the base. It dried clear and is holding nicely now. I really like it for paper crafting. It was worth trying and I think when I run out, I’ll definitely purchase it again…if you try it and don’t like it to apply gems since they’re so finicky, you can always use a stronger glue for those but use the Elmers Glue-All for the paper portion of your cards. Sorry for such a long response! 🥰

[@GrdmaKat2000]

@@KathyaKalinine have you ever used Aleenes tacky glue for the gems and like embellishments?

[@KathyaKalinine]

@@GrdmaKat2000 Yes, I have. But didn’t think about that for this project. In fact, back in the day, I made my own glue dots. I should do that again. I actually like using glue dots. 🥰

[@nancylyons747]

Is Elmer’s Glue-All acid free?

[@KathyaKalinine]

I confirmed on their website that it is indeed, acid-free! 😃

[@karenhowell2691]

I have been using the all purpose Elmer’s glue for at least 10 years now. I even buy it in the gallon because I teach card classes at camp in the summer. I use the same little bottles and buy by the bulk. Works great!

[@KathyaKalinine]

LOVE your input!!!! Thank you for sharing your experience with this glue!!! I’m loving it so far! ♥️

[@laurabuehler]

That's one step up from the way Jennifer McGuire does it. She doesn't laminate, but she does the rest

[@KathyaKalinine]

Yep! Love Jennifer M! Laminating will prolong the template! 🥰
