My NEW crafty Tool- -Can't believe I lived without LOL!!

[@LemonAvenueLife]

I love this machine I’ve had it foreverrrrr 💗 it’s such a great tool that really goes unnoticed with crafters

[@LemonAvenueLife]

I bought it off of HSN lmbo they sold me when everyone was into making bday banners etc 🙊

[@lindap9785]

I am on Amazon now lol it is my birthday soon and my son wants to get this for me. I am thinking about it because the refills are expensive and I cannot tell how much comes in on refill.

[@ClearlyCards]

These come in 2 inch sizes as well, have used these for over 10 yrs. Can’t craft without it!!!! Glad you discovered this...

[@madstamper64]

My grand-kids love this sticker maker. they make me pull out the sidekick and the small xyron and it's time to make dies and stickers😂 enjoy your new toy. 🙌

[@Craftpurge]

madstamper64 aka 4theloveofcrafts hha i dont blame em! So easy and fun

[@Yogimama14]

It was one of the very first tools I bought when I began scrapbooking nearly 20 yrs ago! Another great find for those intricate dies is the Elizabeth Craft Design’s double sided sticker sheets where I will stick my paper/cardstock on and then run through the die cut machines. This way, adhesive is applied even before the die cut is created. It’s a game changer!

[@Craftpurge]

kdub1314 i have some sticker sheets from Hobby lobby but lost them somewhere in my craft room😂😂was always wondering if the adhesive would get stuck to the cutting dies

[@lynnetteferguson9687]

kdub1314 , what a BRILLIANT idea!!

[@ChasingCreativity]

I SWEAR by Elizabeth Craft tape. Do you think with using that tape there is a need for this or wait to purchase until I use my entire roll? @kdub1314

[@maliaarnold9051]

Craftpurge I ordered some from scrapbook.com because they had a great sale and I haven’t had any problems with it in the die cutter.

[@job3687]

I have had one in top of my closet for about 10 years. Got it when my grandson started pre kindergarten, for projects, think my daughter used it to label his things, and I recently took it down, looked it over and not being sure what to do with it, I put it back in closet where it still sits, but tomorrow it will have a new home on my desk!, thanks for showing this! I have some thin word dues like yours and this should be just what I need. Thanks for sharing your video!

[@Craftpurge]

Jo B yay! Yes start using it haha one of my favorite tools now yay

[@bunnie800]

I have had the 9” and the 1.5” machines for many years. I prefer the 9” because I like to run sheets of cardstock thru and then die cut. This prevents you having to burnish the diecut and you don’t have the excess glue in the intricate areas (sticky parts in the nooks and crannies). Works fabulously for intricate dies and when you layer diecuts!

[@Craftpurge]

bunnie800 oh great idea!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@rebeccachevalier6186]

I LOVE how excited you are about this because I was WAY excited too when I got mine!!! I use it for anything that I possibly can... I've even used it to create my own wrapping paper! You'll definitely find your own ways over time to maximize the rolls, like you could have put the the "Y" in the middle of the white frame to maximize that piece! It all comes with time! DEFINITELY one of my favorites for crafting! Have fun!

[@Craftpurge]

Rebecca Chevalier i bought a smaller one for words! The 1.5”🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@sondramoorman5600]

My comment about reading directions was in no way an insult! I made many a mistake after reading the directions many yrs ago. I'm glad you enjoy this machine as you will find many uses for it and find out how to get the most for your $$$. I found your video enjoyable and honest.

[@shrillytemple1654]

Tosses User Guide = Brave Woman. Congrats on new toys!

[@FlowerGemsGirl]

I got the same one and a set of the disposable ones from HSN last month. I had the same issue with small dies, my hands shake or I squeezed the glue too hard and a huge blob comes out. I’m glad you showed that trick with the plastic cover sheet!! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Craftpurge]

Flower GemsGirl hha yes me too even with needle nose tip it will still ooze glue

[@Marilynlovesebiking]

I am glad you discovered the Xyron machine. I have the 9 inch one with a 5 inch insert and wish I had gotten the 5” with the 3” insert. But, yes. It is great for die cuts. I also use the 1.5” individual one.

[@PaintsandGlitter]

Definitely useful! I have the large one and the little X (it may be older than my kid! LOL) The little one is a lifesaver but finding refills is a pain for me. One thing I love to use it for is inserting dies upside down if I want to add glitter to the front (easy peasy!) The larger one also comes with magnet and laminating cartridges. They are great, but to clean adhesive off of most papers, a rubber eraser is invaluable! They get rid of most bad glue messes. I highly recommend them!

[@Craftpurge]

PaintsandGlitter oh great idea with the glitter 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻i just got a glue eraser havent used it on paper yet😂🙌🏻

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

This is a wonderful tool, I have several refill sizes, I had bought the largest & smallest one. It’s like a piece of heaven on earth for gluing on die cuts & works great with vellum!

[@Craftpurge]

Maria Nyce ahhah right i cant wait to try vellum too😍😍

[@ruththomas3853]

One of the things I like best is the fact that the adhesive doesn't show through vellum! I only have the tiny one, but I have used it so much! I love it.

[@Craftpurge]

ooo good to know i didnt even think about vellum

[@ktdidits]

I've had this for a couple years. I did not know the trick to get the sticky off the front and sides. Game changer! Thank you for sharing😘

[@katf3836]

A little tip for if you put something sticky down using the Xyron, Score tape, tape runners etc and you need to move it and it's down pretty good. Use your heat gun to heat it up section by section and gently lift it up. Most of the time you can set it back down. Sometimes you many need to add more adhesive. This doesn't work with glue only tape or sticky type of adhesives.

[@MyScrapYardJournalsAndSuch]

I have had a Xyron for years and have always had the residue left behind. I am so happy I came across your channel to see how to properly use it. Thank you very much.

[@robicorbin]

YEAH!! It is time to play. I had totally forgotten had I had a large a Xyron maker for years as well with a few replacement cartridges also, until just now when you made this post Thank You MY SCRAPYARD!

[@Louisianagirl_1126]

READ THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! Ok, this is the BEST tutorial video I’m seen in a long time. That instrument is going to be SOOO helpful. A big THANK YOU for doing this video. Take Care. ~Barbara

[@shazen9692]

I have had Xyron’s for years and love them!!! I just use my finger instead of a bone folder and run around the edges so that the adhesive sticks to the plastic. I have never needed to press down the die cut itself.

[@Craftpurge]

Sandra Hazen good tip thanks!

[@myrajohnson5663]

I have the 9", 5", and 4 of the 1.5" machines! I have been using them for 20 years or more. The sticky is actually on the waxy side and the excess goes onto the clear side. Balling up the clear sheet is the best way to pull up any excess still on your diecut. Just be mindful of which side you are putting down because that is the side that will get sticking (especially in using the 1.5" one). Scrapbooking and card making have become fun again once you find Xyron! Also the cartridges come in prepositional or permanent adhesive for most sizes. Enjoy!!

[@arlenedonald8688]

USA. I was nervous when you didn't read the instructions! Using the ball of the sticky cover sheet is a great tip!

[@julieb8946]

Ok…so I’m late to the party, but just ordered mine! Thanks for sharing this video!!!

[@TwistedArtdesigns]

Been using this for 20 years! Glad you discovered something great to help you craft. Have fun!

[@bonniescorner1964]

Hi I have one and a hand held one. Had it for years. Love it

[@suzannescott3550]

Used this one and the small X for years. Can’t live without them. Much better than glue.

[@a.l.9765]

To get those sticky pieces off completely I use the small end of a scoring trace around the image before removing the clear plastic. Works like a charm.

[@emptynestscrapper961]

So happy for you! I love my xyron too. I have the one you have and the little x. I used to have the 5” but couldn’t resist having the option of 2 sizes, so I gifted the old one to my future daughter in law. I highly recommend getting the little x also, super handy. Don’t forget to use coupons when you need refills because they can be pricey! Enjoy!

[@Craftpurge]

emptynestscrapper yes i totally want the little one for smaller projects🙌🏻🙌🏻😍

[@judithsigler9644]

WOWEE! What a finde! This is INCREDIBLE! YAY for skipping directions and JUMPIN’ IN to use it! SO HAPPY FOR THE SHARE! HAPPY CREATIN’! :-)

I had gotten a tiny one back in 1990 or so. Loved it! Thank you for sharing!

[@diananutt9282]

Oh my gosh. Have mine tucked away for years. And had the same reaction when I first tried mine. Don’t know why I stopped using it! I got many of the different inserts when you could still get them at Micheals or JoAnn’s with coupons. I wasn’t even sure if the replacement cartridges were still available! Thanks for making me go digging mine out and rediscovering how useful it is. Yay!

[@Craftpurge]

Diana Nutt yay🙌🏻🙌🏻🎉

[@marylasere5660]

Spray adhesive works great for intricate die cuts and just tack it down with a little glue and certain areas used it for years absolutely no problem the xyron machine that looks interesting have to look into getting one of them

[@Craftpurge]

Mary Lasere ive never tried spray adhesive 🙌🏻

[@marylasere5660]

The best spray adhesive I found so far is by 3M it is in a gray can and black lid and black lettering it says general purpose 45 all the other kinds I tried do not work as well but the 3M brand is great I hope this helps you in future crafting you can find it at Home Depot or Lowe's

[@amyt6254]

Oh I hope you can help me! I used spray adhesive and it got all over the front of the die. I tried laying it down on paper first before spraying it, and that didn’t work. How do you do it?

[@marylasere5660]

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience first you want to die cut your paper take it out of the die you no longer need your die now take the die cut piece of paper put it onto another piece of paper or newspaper is better it's wider make sure the top part that shows on your card or project is facing down you want to spray only the back part of the die cut that way it adheres to the paper when you flip it over and put it on your project

[@marylasere5660]

Just make sure to always take the paper that you just die cut into whatever shape that you take it out of the die and then take the die cut paper top part facing down and always spray the back part you'll do just fine I'm sorry I didn't explain it better for you I hope this helps hun have a great day if you have anymore questions feel free to contact me

[@kiminalaska9363]

It is even easier if you put your card stock thru your sticker maker first and then die cut it. No sticky issues and even less waste because you can use the negative space for other small dies. That is my favorite way of using my sicker maker.

[@Craftpurge]

thanks for the tip!

[@schmitt313]

Iam Scrappy genius!!

[@maliaarnold9051]

That’s how I use it too!

[@katerijackiledum8195]

I started with the little X Xyron and graduated to a 5" one. You can even sticky a small panel then die cut. Easier than an adhesive sheet or wide double-sided tape.

[@MamawCindy]

I have had one for years. But have been out of the sticky tape for a good while. Your video is a reminder to get some. Thanks for sharing!

[@Craftpurge]

MamawCindy 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@tlsnana9539]

Oh my goodness! You could be my daughter!! I take it out of the box, figure it out myself, try it out. If it works, I’m happy. Maybe a day/month/week later, I check the instructions that came with it - or watch a KZbin how to - and learn some “new” (to me) tricks. Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.

[@Craftpurge]

T&L's Nana hehe yep ill go to yt if i cant figure it out😂😂

[@CartePostale.]

I notice that when Anna Griffin is putting a card together on QVC & the embellishment doesn't need "dimension", she has all embellishments ready to go on a Xyron sheet!! One thing that is probably a personal "annoyance" is her never, ever, giving her faithful followers the "cheat" (if you could call it that). Thank you for your generosity, like so many other crafters who are not so "famous" as Anna in showing how handy a Xyron can be :-). Also appreciated is the time you took in producing & uploading this vlog!!

[@lindataylor863]

I sincerely appreciate all these sticker making ideas! I've had one of the small "x" sticker makers and haven't used it yet. You've given me the help I needed to give it a try. Thank you all so very much!!!

[@louisecarlin9210]

I’ve been using these for years, great for ribbon too, especially the thin ribbons

[@Craftpurge]

[@sherryhearington9027]

Good tips - I have the little Xron but didn't know what you taught . Thanks!

[@kimlewis4767]

Yes, Zyron is great. I have several sizes that I’ve used over the years. Super easy too use. Double sided adhesive and running it through your die cut machine is great too!

[@amyt6254]

Oh, thank you so much for showing the trick about using the plastic to get off the excess glue! I was ready to never use my Zyron again, because the excess glue ruined my Easter projects. I am anxious to try it your way now! TFS!

[@Craftpurge]

Amy T oh no🙈😭hopefully this trick works better for you🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@avrilcrisp5725]

I bought the Xyron sticker maker when it first came out and it is still in use. I love coming to KZbin and seeing how others use their craft items, it always amazes me at the inginuity of craft tools and crafty folks.

[@Ambimom]

Been using xyron for years now. Started with the X, then got the 5-inch green creative station, and recently got the dot tape runner. Fantastic product.

[@sondramoorman5600]

I have the 1st one from 20 + years ago. I have purchased I think each size they make. I love all my machines. It does help if you read the directions and only takes a minute to read them, and you might be able to use the tips they give you.

[@Craftpurge]

[@gerilynne1955]

They make things into stickers! Yep great little machine. I have a small one and large.

[@bjsmoker]

I’m glad I watched this, because I forgot I bought one a year or two ago, and forgot about using it! Just in time for Christmas card making! Thanks! Great job!

[@petmomful2260]

I, too, hate the glue oozing out, and then showing when it dries. I have some small Xyrons, and I really like them. I saw a tip somewhere, they said to run a tool over it that has a big ball on the end, and it makes the glue stick better to the paper, and not in the holes in the paper, where you want no glue, especially on intricate dies. This works well for me.

[@paularoehl-johnson9991]

Oh My Gosh! You have just learned about these?! They are awesome, use mine all the time. My Dad bought me the original 9" one, about 25 years ago! Since then, I have gotten three more different sizes....... Enjoy using yours! Although, I use the bone folder on the back of the die cut. Plus, use a tiny embossing tool, to go around the edges, to get rid of the extra "stickies." I think using the wadded up leftovers to get rid of the "stickies," looks practical too.

[@Craftpurge]

hahaah right im so out of the loop!! whats a tiny embossing tool??

[@veecee9536]

@@Craftpurge love yoyr review. The embossing tool is a 'pen ' like tool with a round ball on each end. The balls are different sizes that originally were used for vellum work (parchment craft) Hope this gelps

[@Craftpurge]

Veronica c perfect yes thank u makes sense!

[@sherrywoodard8562]

I love Xyron products! I’ve got them all! Makes things so much simpler! Especially letters and words.

I have an old one, but your tips make me want to dig it out and try it again. Thanks.

[@vetteg2940]

Me too! I have one of the big, old ones, and not too long ago I looked at it and thought "should I get rid of it?" Guess this is the universe's way of telling me "Nope!" LOL!

[@barbaras2960]

I've been using these for a long time. One extra hint. I use my ball embossing tool to "outline" the image and that usually takes care of those loose little strings that sometimes will appear in the intricate areas. And yes there are temporary adhesive cartridges available.

[@Craftpurge]

great tip!! thank you!

[@dianedevellis6417]

I love your demonstration...

[@scrappingscootergirl]

I love my xyron! Also wanted to give you a tip for small pieces that I use all the time....when I have something that is hard to glue-I put glue on the back of my hand and dab the thing onto it. Works great!

[@savvycrafter8518]

Been using mine for 4 years love it

[@tlsexton0913]

The Xyron machine is awesome. I have both sizes. It's such a great tool. The only thing I don't like is the little buggers, but you can just brush them off. OMG! I had a 3" cartridge and didn't know I how to use it in the machine. Thank you for showing that.

[@MsSeashellsCraftyCabana]

Yes it's a great tool to have. I have both the small and the larger one. Awesome review. Tfs. Happy crafting!

[@nancyloomis3046]

I have a Xyron...the small 2.5 inch one....had it for years. It is a great tool and does put a no mess adhesive on the back of paper or fabric. ONE caveat: the rolls of tape are pricey. Not too pricey to not have it on hand for special uses, but using it on a regular basis would be expensive. My more economical solution: spray adhesives...there are a variety of them on the market. The downside for some types is that you really need to go outside as you don’t want to breathe the fumes. There are other no-fume & non-aerosols on the market too...the non-aerosols do tend to be wetter than the aerosols. You simply place your die cut face down on some newspaper or other scrap paper and give a light, but thorough spray. Get some tweezers to pick it up off the paper (I wouldn’t leave it drying on the paper, but the aerosol type dries to tack almost instantly)...then apply it to your project. If you have sprayed the die cut well enough, it will adhere securely with no evidence of glue on the front. Another good glue for fine dies: Martha Stewart makes (or used to) an excellent glue pen with a fine point that works very well for fine detail dies, but can also be a bit pricey & doesn’t go a long way. One more: pour liquid glue of your choice into a very fine tip bottle...you can buy super fine tip bottles at craft & art supply stores.😀

[@paulacollins6961]

I have the X and love it! I didn’t know about doing the ball trick? Great tip! Thanks

[@jeanniedreemer1944]

I have the 11/2 inch one that came out about 10 yrs ago! Still works but rolls not as sticky as they were when new! Need to order more! You are right, it’s perfect for words! Enjoy your 5incher, I might get that one! Tyfs 🤗👏🏼👏🏼

[@tbelsom]

I rub on the back of the tape, as opposed to the front. If you have glitter or "stuff" on the front, it will move.

[@Sharingmoore]

Yes, it's a great machine to have. I use the adhesive sheets too. tfs

Thank you for this review! I haven’t used mine much because of the sticky residue problem, but now I have several helpful suggestions to deal with it! And I learn much more quickly from videos. 😊

[@tonistime9157]

Hey, Toni! I love the entire line of Xyron products! Nearly every time I see a crafter messing around with liquid glue, I’m literally yelling use a Xyron! I’ve had my various Xyron machines for years! Xyron has greatly evolved over time and improved the quality! Initially, the cartridges were big, expensive and messy with adhesive! You can get Xyron in permanent, repositional and magnetic. The cartridges are easy to change out and work well. HSN always has Xyron on their craft days at great prices. Tuesday, July 16th is a 24-hour craft event. Xyron is usually presented by the awesome Beth Kingston! I love watching her do demonstrations! No telling where she might put something she made sticky! lol. I tend to use the “X” the most and keep it handy whenever I’m crafting. Xyron takes most things the thickness of a nickel or less. It works great on ribbon, foam, cork, buttons, etc. It also is awesome when you want to add glitter. Just put the side you want to sparkle face down and run it through your Xyron. You then want to remove the papers, shake on the glitter, dump off the excess and lightly burnish the glittered surface with your finger. By the way, when you use the clear top paper to remove any unwanted sticky from your item, make sure you’re using the top side of the paper as the other side has adhesive that will transfer onto your sticker. Can you tell I’m a Xyron fan?! lol. I’m so glad you’ve discovered Xyron and are sharing it with everyone! Take care! Toni

[@patcyzauskas7216]

I had a chronic for years but gave it away. Over the past 6 years, I buy double sided tape. I have 5”, 2.5”, 1” rolls I bought mine from JoAnns using coupons. I bout a 6” roll from Scrapbooking Made Simple. If u spent $50 even on the tape, got free shipping but have to wait 6-8 wks to receive. I have enough now to last my craft career time. Place the tape onto cardstock and then die cut it. May have to run thru machine several times at different angles. Any small sections of the cardstock can be used with smaller dies. Have minimal waste of product. The tape can be used for glitter, foils, foil flakes, etc. I found the xyron had too much waste.

[@Nailedbyangie]

Awesome video beautiful ❤️ I bought one and its amazing! I found my card stock stuck to the plastic when I balled it up to remove the excess. So I tried balling up a few glue dots and using them the same way was super successful!

[@Craftpurge]

Angie Smith someone told me to roll up the sticky plastic with the sticky stuff hiding, so just the regular plastic is exposed then it will grab sticky stuff but not the cardstock

[@Nailedbyangie]

Sweet I'll give that a go! Thanks lovely xx

[@1tinac]

Also if you have a detailed die use a stylus to go around the die. It makes sure all of the extra glue stays on the plastic. I use mine on alphabet dies (make my own thicket stickets ).

I've seen card makers first run a size of paper they need and then run that through their die cut machine. This way you still have scrap sticky paper to cut smaller dies with minimal waste.

[@jibberoverjava]

I'm a visual learner also. If I acquire a new product or an old one somehow, I look up on KZbin how to use it even if I don't think I will find it. Sometimes I have gadgets that are so old I know they haven't been made in decades even a hundred year old sewing machine but when I look it up I'm surprised to find it and not only that one but also all of its newer versions. If I don't know what something is whether it's a product tag or a machine part or something, I'll type in whatever print is on it and a serial number if it has one and I can't believe the item comes up every time. If KZbin doesn't have it Google will and a lot of times Google will list videos that I couldn't find on KZbin. When I find videos listed I just watch the shortest one first, if that doesn't give me what I need then I'll go to another one with a title that seems a little more promising and skim through it for any parts that the previous video didn't show. But usually the first one is enough. I hope this helps you as a visual learner.
